Tiuteronomi 12
1 Tenei ano nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga, hei pupuri ma koutou hei mahi ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e te Atua o ou matua, ki a koe kia nohoia, i nga ra katoa e ora ai i runga i te whenua.
“Lezi yizo izimiso lemilayo okumele likugcine ngonanzelelo elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu nxa lilokhu lisahlala kulelolizwe.
2 Whakamotitia rawatia e koutou nga wahi katoa i mahi ai nga iwi ka riro nei i a koutou ki o ratou atua, i runga i nga maunga teitei, i nga pukepuke hoki, i raro hoki i nga rakau kouru nui katoa:
Dilizani ngokupheleleyo zonke izindawo izizwe elizinqobayo ezazikhonzela onkulunkulu bazo khona, ezintabeni eziphakemeyo lasemaqaqeni kanye langaphansi kwezihlahla ezinabileyo.
3 Pakarua a ratou aata, wahia kia kongakonga a ratou pou, ko a ratou Aherimi tahuna e koutou ki te ahi; a tuaina ki raro nga whakapakoko o o ratou atua, a whakangaromia rawatia atu o ratou ingoa i taua wahi.
Dilizani ama-alithare ezizwe, libhidlize amatshe abawakhonzayo litshise izinsika zika-Ashera emlilweni, dilizelani phansi izithombe zabo lihle lichithe licitshe amabizo abo kulezondawo.
4 Aua e pena ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua.
Lingalandeli izindlela zabo zokukhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
5 Engari me whai ki tona nohoanga, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i roto i o koutou iwi katoa, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira, me haere hoki koe ki reira:
Kodwa lizadinga indawo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azayikhetha phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zenu, ukuze abeke iBizo lakhe lapho, ahlale khona. Kumele liye kuleyondawo;
6 A me kawe e koutou ki reira a koutou tahunga tinana, a koutou patunga tapu, a koutou whakatekau, nga whakahere e hapahapainga ana e o koutou ringa, a koutou ki taurangi, a koutou whakahere tuku noa, me nga whanau matamua o a koutou kau, o a kouto u hipi:
khonapho lilethe iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lokwetshumi kwenu lezipho zenu eziqakathekileyo, lokho elifunge ukukunikela kanye leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela, amazibulo emihlambi yenu yenkomo leyezimvu.
7 A ko reira koutou kai ai, ko te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, a ka koa koutou ki nga mea katoa e whatoro atu ai o koutou ringa, koutou me o koutou whare, ki nga manaaki a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i a koe.
Khonapho, phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina kanye labantwabenu lizakudla njalo lijabule ngakho konke elike labeka izandla zenu kukho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulibusisile.
8 Kei rite ta koutou mahi ki enei katoa e mahia nei e tatou i konei i tenei ra, he tika tonu ia tangata ki tana titiro ake:
Lingabokwenza njengalokhu esikwenza lamuhla, ngamunye esenza njengokuthanda kwakhe,
9 Kahore nei hoki koutou kia tae noa ki te okiokinga, ki te kainga tupu e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.
ngoba alikangeni endaweni yokuphumula kanye lelifeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona.
10 Engari ki te whiti koutou i Horano, a ka noho ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, hei kainga tupu mo koutou, a ka meinga e ia kia okioki i o koutou hoa whawhai katoa i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, a ka noho koutou i runga i te whe nua rangatira;
Kodwa lizachapha uJodani liyekwakha lihlale elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe yilifa lenu, njalo uzaliphumuza ezitheni zenu elakhelene lazo ukuze lihlale livikelekile.
11 Katahi ka ai te wahi e whiriwhiria e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki reira tona ingoa noho ai, hei kawenga ma koutou i nga mea katoa e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koutou; a koutou tahunga tinana, a koutou patunga tapu, a koutou whakatekau, me nga whak ahere hapahapai a o koutou ringa, me nga mea papai katoa o nga mea i kiia taurangitia e koutou ma Ihowa:
Okumayelana lendawo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azayikhetha ibe likhaya leBizo lakhe, kulapho elizaletha konke engililaya ngakho: iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, okwetshumi kwenu lezipho zenu eziqakathekileyo, kanye lazozonke impahla elikhethe ukufunga ngazo kuThixo.
12 A ka koa koutou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, koutou, a koutou tama, a koutou tamahine, a koutou pononga tane, a koutou pononga wahine, me te Riwaiti i roto i o koutou tatau, kahore hoki ia i rato tahi me koutou i tetahi wahi, i tetahi kainga tupu ranei mona.
Khona lapho lijabule phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina, amadodana lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu, kanye labaLevi abavela emadolobheni enu, abangelasabelo loba ilifa abaliphiwayo libe ngelabo.
13 Kia mahara kei tukua e koe au tahunga tinana ki nga wahi katoa e kite ai koe:
Limukani linganikeleli iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa ingqe kungaphi elithanda khona.
14 Engari hei te wahi e whiriwhiria e Ihowa i roto i te tahi o ou iwi, hei reira koe tuku ai i au tahunga tinana, hei reira hoki koe mea ai i nga mea katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe.
Nikelelani kuphela endaweni uThixo azayikhetha phakathi kwezizwana zenu kuthi selilapho linanzelele konke engililaya ngakho.
15 Otiia ka ahei koe te patu, te kai hoki he kikokiko i roto i ou tatau katoa, ki ta te hiahia katoa a tou ngakau, kia rite ki te manaaki a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i homai ai ki a koe: me kai e te poke, e te pokekore, he pera me te kahera, me te hata.
Ngalokho-ke, selilakho ukuhlaba izifuyo zenu lizibulale njengalokhu okwenziwayo emadolobheni enu njalo lidle yonke leyonyama elifisa ukuyidla, kungani lithaka loba imbabala, kusiya ngesibusiso leso lowo lalowo ayabe ebusiswe ngaso nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Bonke labangahlanzekanga labahlanzekileyo ngokomkhuba bavunyelwe ukuyidla.
16 Engari ra ia kei kainga e koutou te toto; ringihia atu ki te whenua ano he wai.
Kodwa lingadli igazi lazo; lilahleni kungathi lichitha amanzi phansi.
17 E kore koe e tukua kia kai i roto i ou tatau i nga whakatekau o tau witi, o tau waina ranei, o tau hinu ranei, i nga matamua ranei o au kau, o au hipi ranei, i tetahi ranei o nga mea e kiia taurangitia e koe, i au whakahere tuku noa ranei, i nga whakahere hapahapai ranei a tou ringa:
Lingakudli emadolobheni enu okwetshumi kwamabele enu kanye lokwewayini elitsha lamafutha, loba amazibulo emihlambi yezifuyo zenu, lakho konke eselifunge lathembisa ukuba lizanikela ngakho, leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela loba izipho eziqakathekileyo.
18 Engari me kai ena ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, hei te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, e koe, e tau tama, e tau tamahine, e tau pononga tane, e tau pononga wahine, e te Riwaiti hoki i roto i ou tatau: a ka koa koe ki te aroaro o Ihow a, o tou Atua, ki nga mea katoa e totoro atu ai ou ringa.
Kodwa kumele likudle phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina, amadodana lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu, kanye labaLevi abavela emadolobheni enu, lina labo lizajabula phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngakho konke elikuphatha ngezandla zenu.
19 Kia tupato kei mahue i a koe te Riwaiti i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe i runga i te whenua.
Linanzelele lingalibali beselikhohlwa abaLevi nxa lilokhu lisahlala elizweni lenu.
20 E whakanui a Ihowa, tou Atua, i tou rohe, e pera me tana i korero ai ki a koe, a ka mea koe, Ka kai kikokiko ahau, he hiahia hoki no tou ngakau ki te kai kikokiko: e kai koe i te kikokiko, i te hiahia katoa a tou ngakau.
Nxa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eseqhelisile ilizwe lenu njengokulethembisa kwakhe, libe seliloyisa ukudla inyama lithi, ‘Ngifisa ukudla inyama,’ kulapho elizakudla khona lize lifike lapho elithanda khona.
21 Ki te mamao rawa atu i a koe te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa i reira, na patua tetahi o au kau, o au hipi ranei, kua homai na e Ihowa ki a koe, kia rite ki taku i whakahau ai ki a koe, a ka kai i roto i ou tatau, i ta te hiahia katoa a tou ngakau.
Nxa indawo leyo lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu akhetha ukubeka iBizo lakhe ikhatshana kakhulu lani, lingahlaba emihlambini yezifuyo leyezimvu njengokuyiphiwa kwenu nguThixo, njengoba ngililayile, kuthi emadolobheni enu lizidle lezozifuyo njengokuthanda kwenu.
22 Kainga ena, peratia me te kahera, me te hata e kainga ana: ko te poke, ko te pokekore, rite tahi raua te kai.
Lidle kungathi lidla ithaka lembabala. Bonke abangahlanzekanga ngokomkhuba labahlanzekileyo bangadla.
23 Engari ra ia kia tino u koe kia kaua e kainga te toto: ko te toto hoki te ora; kaua hoki e kainga ngatahitia e koe te toto me te kikokiko.
Kodwa linanzelele lingadli igazi, ngoba igazi yiyo impilo ngakho akufanelanga ukuthi lidle impilo lenyama.
24 Kaua tena e kainga e koe; me riringi e koe ki te whenua ano he wai.
Lingabokudla igazi; lichitheleni emhlabathini kungathi lilahla amanzi.
25 Kei kainga tena e koe; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, koutou ko au tamariki i muri i a koe, ina mahi koe i te mea e tika ana ki ta Ihowa titiro.
Lingadli, ukuze kulihambele kuhle lina kanye labantwabenu abezayo, ngoba lizabe lenze okuhle emehlweni kaThixo.
26 Ko au mea tapu ia, i a koe na, me au ki taurangi, me tango e koe, ka haere ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa:
Kodwa thathani lokho okugcotshiweyo lalokho elifunge ukukunikela lisuke liye endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo.
27 Na ka tuku mai koe i au tahunga tinana, i te kikokiko me te toto, ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua: na ko te toto o au patunga tapu me riringi ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua, ko te kikokiko ia me kai e koe.
Lethani iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, konke inyama kanye legazi. Igazi leminikelo yenu lilichithele phansi kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, kodwa lingadla inyama yakhona.
28 Maharatia, whakarangona enei kupu katoa e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe, kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, koutou ko au tamariki i muri i a koe, ake tonu atu, ina mahi koe i te mea e pai ana, e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua.
Linanzelele lilandele iziqondiso zonke engilinika zona, ukuze kulihambele kuhle lina kanye labantwabenu abezayo ngemva kwenu, ngoba lizabe lenze okuhle njalo kulungile emehlweni kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
29 Ina huna e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i tou aroaro nga iwi, e haere nei koe ki reira ki te pei, a ka riro ratou i a koe, a ka noho koe ki to ratou whenua;
UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzazichitha phambi kwenu zonke izizwe okufanele lizihlasele libe selizemuka okungokwazo. Kodwa nxa selizinqobile lazichitha selihlezi elizweni lazo,
30 Kia tupato ki a koe, kei mahangatia koe kia wahi i muri i a ratou, ina whakangaromia atu ratou i tou aroaro; kei ui atu ano hoki koe ki o ratou atua, kei mea, E pehea ana te mahi a enei iwi ki o ratou atua? ka pena ano hoki ahau.
njalo nxa sezichithiwe phambi kwenu, liqaphele lingahugeki ngokubuza ngabonkulunkulu bazo lisithi, ‘Kanti zona lezizizwe zibakhonza njani onkulunkulu bazo? Lathi sizakwenza okufananayo.’
31 Kei pera tau mahi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: ko nga mea katoa hoki e whakarihariha ai a Ihowa, e kino ai, ko ia ta ratou i mahi ai ki o ratou atua; na, ko a ratou tama nei ano, me a ratou tamahine e tahuna ana e ratou ki te ahi ma o ratou atua.
Lingabokhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngendlela abakhonza ngayo, ngoba ekukhonzeni kwabo onkulunkulu babo, benza konke okunengisayo okungasoze kwamukeleke kuThixo. Baya baze batshise amadodana lamadodakazi abo emlilweni bethi bayanikela kubonkulunkulu babo.
32 Ko nga mea katoa e whakahau ai ahau ki a koutou, ko ena ta koutou e mahara ai kia mahia: kaua e tapiritia ki etahi atu, kaua ano hoki e kinitia atu tetahi wahi.
Nanzelelani ukuthi lenza lokho engililaya ngakho, lingengezeleli loba liphungule kulokho.”
