< Ihaia 59 >

1 Nana, kihai i mutua te ringa o Ihowa, te tau ai te whakaora; kihai ano i taimaha tona taringa, te rongo ai ia.
Khangela isandla seNkosi kasifinyezwanga ukuthi singasindisi, lendlebe yayo kayinzima ukuthi ingezwa.
2 Engari na o koutou he i wehe koutou ko to koutou Atua, na o koutou hara ano i huna ai tona mata ki a koutou, te whakarongo ai ia.
Kodwa iziphambeko zenu zehlukanisile phakathi kwenu loNkulunkulu wenu, lezono zenu zibusithile ubuso bakhe kini, ukuthi angezwa.
3 Kua poke hoki o koutou ringa i te toto, o koutou maihao i te he; ko o koutou ngutu kua korero teka, ko o koutou arero kei te whakapuaki i te whanoke.
Ngoba izandla zenu zingcoliswe ngegazi, leminwe yenu ngenkohlakalo; indebe zenu zikhulume amanga, lolimi lwenu lungunguna ububi.
4 Kahore he karanga ki te tika, kahore he tohe ki te pono; ko te horihori to ratou okiokinga, e korero teka ana ratou; ko to ratou hapu he nanakia, whanau ake te kino.
Kakho omemeza ngokulunga, njalo kakho olabhela ngeqiniso; bathemba okuyize, bakhulume amanga; bamitha ububi, bazale isiphambeko.
5 E paoa ana e ratou nga hua o te neke, e hanga ana e ratou te whare pungawerewere: ko te tangata e kai ana i a ratou hua ka mate, a ki te kopengia tetahi, ka puta he waipera.
Bachamusela amaqanda enhlangwana, beluke ubulembu besayobe; odla okwamaqanda awo uyafa; lelichotshoziweyo liqhamuka lilibululu.
6 E kore o ratou whare pungawerewere e tau hei kakahu, e kore ano ratou e whai hipoki i a ratou mahi: ko a ratou mahi he mahi na te kino, he mahi nanakia kei o ratou ringa.
Ubulembu babo kabuyikuba yizembatho, njalo kabayikuzembesa ngemisebenzi yabo. Imisebenzi yabo yimisebenzi yobubi, lesenzo sodlakela sisezandleni zabo.
7 E rere ana o ratou waewae i te kino, hohoro tonu hoki ratou ki te whakaheke i te toto harakore: ko o ratou whakaaro he whakaaro ki te kino, he whakamoti, he wawahi kei o ratou ara.
Inyawo zabo zigijimela ebubini; baphangisa ukuchitha igazi elingelacala; imicabango yabo yimicabango yobubi; ukubhubhisa lokuchitha kusezindleleni zabo.
8 Kahore o ratou matauranga ki te ara o te rangimarie, kahore hoki he whakawa i o ratou ara; ko o ratou huarahi, whakakopikopikoa ake e ratou: ko te hunga katoa e haere ana na reira, e kore e mohio ki te rangimarie.
Indlela yokuthula kabayazi; njalo kakulasahlulelo emikhondweni yabo; bazenzela izindlela zabo ezimazombazombe; loba ngubani ohamba kuzo kayikwazi ukuthula.
9 Na reira matara noa atu te whakawa i a tatou, te mau tatou i te tika: e taria atu ana e tatou te marama, na ko te pouri; te tiaho, na kei te haere nei tatou i te pouri.
Ngakho-ke isahlulelo sikhatshana lathi, lokulunga kakusifinyeleli. Silindela ukukhanya, kodwa khangela, ubumnyama; silindela ukukhazimula, kodwa sihamba emnyameni omkhulu.
10 E whawha ana tatou ki te taiepa ano he matapo, ae ra, me te mea ko te hunga kahore he kanohi: e tutuki ana o tatou waewae i te poutumarotanga me te mea i te ahiahi; he rite tatou ki te tupapaku i roto i nga tangata pakari.
Siphumputha umduli njengeziphofu, siphumputhe kwangathi kasilamehlo; sikhubeke emini enkulu kwangathi kukusihlwa, sisendaweni ezichithekileyo njengabafileyo.
11 Kei te ngengere tatou katoa ano he pea; ko to tatou rite kei te kukupa e tumutumu tonu ana. E tatari ana tatou ki te whakawa, heoi kua kahore; ki te whakaora, otiia kei tawhiti atu i a tatou.
Sonke siyabhonga njengamabhere, silile lokulila njengamajuba; silindela isahlulelo, kodwa kasikho; losindiso, kodwa lukhatshana lathi.
12 Kua nui hoki o matou poka ke i tou aroaro, e whakaatu ana hoki o matou hara i to matou he; kei a matou nei hoki o matou poka ke, a ko o matou kino, e mohiotia ana era e matou;
Ngoba iziphambeko zethu zandile phambi kwakho, lezono zethu zifakaza zimelene lathi; ngoba iziphambeko zethu zilathi, lobubi bethu siyabazi;
13 He poka ke, he whakakahore ki a Ihowa, he peka atu i te whai i to matou Atua, he whanoke nga korero, he whakakeke; kua hapu, kua puaki i te ngakau he kupu teka.
ukuphambuka, lokuqambela iNkosi amanga, lokusuka ekulandeleni uNkulunkulu wethu, ukukhuluma incindezelo lokuhlamuka, ukukhulelwa lokukhuluma amazwi amanga aphuma enhliziyweni.
14 Kua tahuri atu nei ki muri te whakawa, ko te tika tu mai ana i tawhiti; kua hinga hoki te pono i te waharoa, a kahore he tomokanga mo te tika.
Ngakho isahlulelo sibuyiselwa emuva, lokulunga kumi khatshana; ngoba iqiniso liyakhubeka esitaladeni, lobuqotho kabulakungena.
15 Ae ra, kua kore te pono; a ko te tangata e whakarere ana i te kino ka waiho hei taonga parau. Na ka kite a Ihowa, ka kino ki tana titiro, no te mea kahore he whakawa.
Yebo, iqiniso liyasilela, lowehlukana lobubi uzenza impango. INkosi yasikubona, njalo kwaba kubi emehlweni ayo ukuthi kakulasahlulelo.
16 Na titiro rawa mai ia, kahore he tangata, miharo ana ia no te mea kahore he kaiwawao; na, kei tona ringa he whakaora mona; ko tona tika, na tera ia i tautoko ake.
Yasibona ukuthi kwakungelamuntu, yamangala kakhulu ukuthi kwakungelamlamuli; ngakho ingalo yayo yaletha usindiso kuye, lokulunga kwayo khona kwamsekela.
17 I kakahuria hoki e ia te tika hei pukupuku, ko te whakaora hei potae ki tona mahunga; kakahuria ana e ia nga kakahu o te rapu utu hei kakahu, ropia mai ana te hae hei koroka.
Ngoba yembatha ukulunga njengebhatshi lensimbi, lengowane yosindiso ekhanda layo; yembatha izembatho zempindiselo njengesembatho, yazembesa ukutshiseka njengejazi.
18 Ko tana utu ka rite ki a ratou mahi, he riri ki ona hoa whawhai, he utu ki ona hoariri; ki nga motu hoki ka homai e ia he utu.
Njengokwezenzo, ngokunjalo izaphindisela, ulaka kwabamelana layo, umvuzo ezitheni zayo; ezihlengeni uzabuyisela umvuzo.
19 Na ka wehingia te ingoa o Ihowa i te uru, tona kororia i te rawhiti. Ka haere mai hoki ia ano he awa e taheke ana, e aia ana e te manawa o Ihowa.
Ngokunjalo bazalesaba ibizo leNkosi kusukela entshonalanga, lodumo lwayo kusukela lapho okuphuma khona ilanga. Lapho isitha sizangena njengomfula, uMoya weNkosi uzaphakamisa isiboniso esimelene laso.
20 A ka haere mai te kaihoko ki Hiona, ki te hunga o Hakopa e tahuri atu ana i te poka ke, e ai ta Ihowa.
LoMhlengi uzafika eZiyoni, lakulabo abaphenduka eziphambekweni koJakobe, itsho iNkosi.
21 Ko ahau nei, ko taku kawenata tenei ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa: Ko toku wairua i a koe na, me aku kupu i hoatu e ahau ki tou mangai, e kore e neke atu i tou mangai, i te mangai o ou uri, i te mangai ano o nga uri o ou uri, e ai ta Ihowa, aianei a ake tonu atu.
Mina-ke, lesi yisivumelwano sami labo, itsho iNkosi: UMoya wami ophezu kwakho, lamazwi ami engiwafake emlonyeni wakho, kawayikusuka emlonyeni wakho, lemlonyeni wenzalo yakho, lemlonyeni wenzalo yenzalo yakho, itsho iNkosi, kusukela khathesi kuze kube phakade.
