Izikeli 18
1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 Zamafahe'moza aka krepi raga nazageno mofavre'zmimofo zamagitera akahune hutama Israeli vahe'motama nehaza fronka nanekemofo agafa'amo'a nankna hu'ne?
“Litshoni lina bantu nxa libetha isaga lesi ngelizwe lako-Israyeli lisithi: ‘Oyise badla amavini amunyu, amazinyo abantwana asetshelela’?
3 Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huankino, mago'mo'e huno Israeli mopafina ama fronka nanekea osutfa hugahaze.
Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, kalisayikusitsho isaga lesi ko-Israyeli.
4 Na'ankure mika vahera Nagri vaheke mani'naze. Hagi nefa'ene nemofo'enena Nagri vahe mani'na'ankino, iza'o kumi'ma hanimoke frigahie.
Ngoba yonke imphefumulo ephilayo ngeyami, uyise kanye lendodana, bobabili ngokufanayo ngabami. Umphefumulo owonayo yiwo ozakufa.
5 Hagi mago fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma knare huno fatgo avu'ava'ma nehuno,
Kasithi kulomuntu olungileyo owenza okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo.
6 havi anumzamofonte'ma Kresramanama vuntesaza ne'zama onege, Israeli vahe'mofo kaza osu havi anumzante mono huontege, ru vahe'mofo a'nene savri nosuno, ika kri eri'nesia a'ene monko'za nosuno,
Kadleli ezindaweni zokukhonzela zasentabeni loba athembe izithombe zendlu ka-Israyeli. Kangcolisi umfazi kamakhelwane wakhe loba alale lowesifazane esemazibukweni.
7 mago vahe'mofo havige huno keonke'zama'a eri havia nosuno, amigahue huno'ma eri'nesia zana ete ami fatgo nehuno, musufa noseno, amunte omne vahe ne'za nemino, kukena'a omane vahe kukena hunenteno,
Kancindezeli muntu kodwa uyabuyisela akuthathayo njengesibambiso sokwebolekwayo. Kabenzi ubuphangi kodwa unika abalambileyo ukudla kwakhe labanqunu abanike izigqoko.
8 zagoma nofi'ma huno eri'nea vahera agofetu huno zago agia ahenteno e'norino, havi avu'ava'ma huzankura koro nehuno, tare vahe'mofo kea fatgo kazigati refko nehuno,
Kabolekisi ukuba athole inzuzo loba athathe inzuzo edlulisileyo. Uyasithinta isandla sakhe ekwenzeni okubi njalo ehlulele kuhle phakathi komuntu lomuntu.
9 kasegeni'ane tra ke'ni'anema kegava huno amage'ma antesuno'a, agra fatgo vahe manigahiankino tamage huno ofri manigahie huno Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
Uyazilandela izimiso zami agcine lemithetho yami ngokuthembeka. Lowomuntu ulungile; ngempela uzaphila, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
10 Hianagi e'inahu huno'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mofo mofavremo'ma vahe'ma aheno korama'a eri neragino, nefuma knare osu avu'ava'ma hunenteno,
Kasithi ulendodana elodlakela echitha igazi kumbe yenze loba yikuphi kwalezizinto
11 nefa'a anara osugahianagi, agra havi anumzamofonte'ma kresramnama vuntesaza ne'zana neneno, ru vahe'mofo a'nene savri nehuno,
(lanxa uyise engenzanga lanye yazo): Idlela ezindaweni zokukhonzela ezisentabeni. Iyamngcolisa umfazi kamakhelwane wayo.
12 zamunte omne vahe'ene miko zankuma atupama nehaza vahera zamazeri savri huno fenozmia enerino, vahe'za musufa enerino, kamigahue huno'ma huvempa huno eri'nea zana nomino, havi anumzamofonte monora hunenteno, hi'mnage avu'ava nehuno,
Incindezela abayanga labaswelayo. Yenza ubuphangi. Kayibuyiseli eyakuthatha kuyisibambiso. Yethemba izithombe. Yenza izinto ezinengisayo.
13 zagoma nofi'ma hu'nea vahera rama'a agofetu huno zago agia ahenteno e'neria vahe'mo'a agra ofri amne manigahio? I'o. Agra amnea omanigahianki, frigahie. Na'ankure kasrino hi'mnage avu'ava zantmi hu'neankino, tamage huno kumi'amofo knazana agra'a erino frigahie.
Yebolekisa ukuba ithole inzuzo njalo ithatha inzuzo edlulisileyo. Umuntu onjalo uzaphila na? Kasoze aphile! Ngenxa yokuba enze zonke lezizinto ezinengisayo uzabulawa mpela legazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
14 Hagi e'inahu kefo avu'ava'ene ne'mofo mofavremo'ma nefa'ma hu'nea kumi avu'avazama negeno, avaririno ana avu'avara osu mani koro huno mani'neno,
Kodwa kasithi indodana le ilendodana ezibonayo zonke izono ezenziwa nguyise, kodwa lanxa izibona, yona kayizenzi izinto ezinje:
15 havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama vuntesaza ne'zama onege, Israeli vahe'mofo kaza osu anumzante'ma mono huontege, ru vahe'mofo a'nene savri nosuno,
Kayidleli ezindaweni zokukhonzela ezisentabeni, kumbe yethembe izithombe zendlu ka-Israyeli. Kayimngcolisi umfazi kamakhelwane wayo.
16 mago vahera havige hunteno keonke'zama'a eri havia nosuno, amigahue huno'ma eri'nesia zana ete nemino, musufa noseno, amunte omne vahera ne'zana nezamino, kukenagu atupa hu'naza vahera kukena hunezmanteno,
Kayincindezeli muntu kumbe ifune isibambiso ekwebolekiseni. Kayibenzi ubuphangi kodwa abalambileyo iyabapha ukudla kwayo inike labanqunu izigqoko.
17 zamunte omane vahera zamazeri haviza nosuno, zagoma nofi'ma hu vahera agofetu huno zago agia ahenteno e'norino, kasegeni'ane tra ke'ni'anema kegava huno amage'ma antesuno'a, agra nefa'ma hu'nea kumi avu'avazamofo nona hunora ofrigahianki, tamage huno amne manigahie.
Iyasithinta isandla sayo ekoneni njalo kayithathi nzuzo loba inzuzo edlulisileyo. Iyagcina imilayo yami ilandele lezimiso zami. Kayiyikufela izono zikayise; izaphila impela.
18 Hagi nefa'a frigahie. Na'ankure agra havige huno vahe'mofo zantamina eri savri nehuno, musufa neseno, vahe'amofona knare avu'avara huozmante'neankino, ana kefo avu'va'zama hu'nea zantera frigahie.
Kodwa uyise uzafela izono zakhe yena ngokwakhe, ngoba wabamba ngamandla, waphanga umfowabo wenza okubi ebantwini bakibo.
19 Hagi mofavre'amo'ma knare huno fatgo avu'ava'ma nehuno, kasege'nine tra ke'ni'anema kegava huno amage'ma nenteno, ofrino amnema manisigeta, amanage huta nantahigegahaze, nahigeno nefa'ma hu'nea kumi'mofo mizama'a nemofo'a e'orie? huta hugahaze.
Ikanti liyabuza lithi, ‘Kungani indodana ingabi lecala likayise na?’ Njengoba indodana yenze okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo njalo inaka ukugcina izimiso zami, izaphila impela.
20 Hagi kumi'ma hania vahe'moke frigahie. Hagi mofavremo'a nefa'ma hu'nenia kumimofo nona'a knazana e'orisigeno, mago ne'mo'a mofavre'amo'ma hu'nesia kumimofo nona'a knazana e'origahie. Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahera agri fatgo avu'avate mizana nemino, kefo avu'ava'ma hania vahera, agri'a kefo avu'ava zante azeri haviza hugahie.
Umphefumulo owonayo yiwo ozakufa. Indodana kayiyikuba lecala likayise, loba uyise abe lecala lendodana. Ukulunga komuntu olungileyo kuzabalelwa kuye, lobubi bomubi buzamelana laye.
21 Hianagi kefo avu'ava zama nehania vahe'mo'ma kefo avu'ava zama netreno agu'a rukrahe huno tra keni'a amage nenteno, knare avu'ava'ene fatgo avu'ava'enema hanuno'a, ofrigahianki amne manigahie.
Kodwa nxa umuntu omubi ephenduka kuzozonke izono azenzayo njalo agcine izimiso zami zonke enze okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo, uzaphila impela, akayikufa.
22 Hagi magore hu'na mago kumi'agura nagesa ontahigosue. Na'ankure fatgo avu'avaza hugahiankino ofri amne manigahie.
Akukho kona kwakhe okuzakhunjulwa. Ngenxa yezinto ezilungileyo azenzileyo uzaphila.
23 Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a huno, kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma nefrigeta, tamagesama antahi'zana Nagrikura musena nehie huta nehazo? I'o. Nagra musena nosue. Hagi kefo avu'ava zama'a atreno amnema mani'zanku nave'nesie.
Ngiyathokoza ngokufa komuntu omubi na? kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Esikhundleni salokho, kangithabi na nxa bephenduka ezindleleni zabo njalo baphile?
24 Hianagi fatgo avu'ama nehania ne'mo'ma atreno'ma kefo avu'ava ome nehuno, kasrino hi'mnage avu'avazama ome haniana, agra manigahio? I'o. Agra omanigahianki frisigeno maka fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zamo'a amnezankna hanige'na, Nagra ana zankura nagesa ontahigahue. Na'ankure kefo avu'ava huno kumi hu'neankino ana kumimofo nona'a omanigahianki frigahie.
Kodwa nxa umuntu olungileyo eguquka ekulungeni kwakhe enze izono njalo enze zona kanye izinto ezinengayo ezenziwa ngumuntu omubi, kambe uzaphila na? Akukho okwezinto ezilungileyo azenzayo okuzakhunjulwa. Ngenxa yecala lokungathembeki langenxa yezono azenzayo, uzakufa.
25 Hianagi amanage huta hugahaze, Ra Anumzamo'ma hia avu'ava zamo'a fatgo osie huta hugahaze. Hagi Israeli vahe'mota antahiho, Nagri navu'navamo fatgoa hunefi, tamagri tamavu tamava'mo fatgoa hu'ne?
Kodwa lina lithi, ‘Indlela kaThixo kayilunganga.’ Zwana, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli: Indlela yami kayifanelanga na?
26 Hagi Fatgo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'ma ana fatgo avu'ava'ama atreno kumi'ma haniana, agra kumi hugahiankino frigahie. Na'ankure fatgo osu avu'azama hania zanku huno agra frigahie.
Nxa umuntu olungileyo eguquka ekulungeni kwakhe enze izono, uzakufela lokho; ngenxa yezono azenzileyo uzakufa.
27 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma ana kefo avu'ava'ma atreno agu'ama rukrahe huno'ma fatgo avu'ava zama haniana, agra'a agu'vazigahie.
Kodwa nxa umuntu omubi ephenduka ebubini abenzileyo enze okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo, uzasilisa ukuphila kwakhe.
28 Na'ankure agra maka kefo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zana keno antahino nehuno, ana avu'ava zana atreno agu'a rukrahe hu'neankino, tamage huno agra ofrino manigahie.
Ngoba ucabanga konke okubi akwenzayo aphenduke kukho, uzaphila impela; akayikufa.
29 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mota huta, Ra Anumzamofo avu'avamo'a fatgo osu'ne huta nehaze. Hagi tamage huno Nagri navu'navamo'a fatgoa osu'nefi? I'o. Tamagri tamavu tamava'mo fatgoa osu'ne.
Ikanti indlu ka-Israyeli ithi, ‘Indlela kaThixo kayilunganga.’ Izindlela zami kazilunganga na, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli?
30 E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahera, magoke magoke'mota tamagrama hu'nesaza avu'ava zante ante'na Nagra refko huramantegahue huno Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hagi aru tamagri kumi avu'ava zamo tamazeri haviza hanigi kefo avu'ava zana atreta tamagu'a rukrahe hiho.
Ngakho-ke wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, lowo lalowo ngizamahlulela ngokumayelana lezindlela zakhe, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Phendukani! Tshiyani ububi benu bonke; ngalokho isono kasiyikuba yikufa kwenu.
31 Hagi kefo avu'avazama nehaza zana netreta tamagu'a rukrahe huta kasefa tamagu tamagesa enerita kasefa avamu eriho. Hagi Israeli vahe'mota nahanigeta tamagra frigahaze?
Zikhululeni kukho konke okubi elikwenzileyo, lizuze inhliziyo entsha lomoya omutsha. Kungani na uzakufa, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli?
32 Na'ankure vahe'ma nefrizage'na Nagra musena nosuanki, tamagu'a rukrahe huta ofri amne maniho hu'na Miko'zama Kegava Hu'noa Anumzamo'na nehue.
Ngoba angithokozi ngokufa loba ngokukabani, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Phendukani liphile!”
