< Hopa 13 >
1 Nana, kua kitea katoatia tenei e toku kanohi, kua rongo toku taringa, kua mohio.
Khangela, konke ilihlo lami likubonile, indlebe yami izwile yakuqedisisa.
2 Ko ta koutou e mohio na, ko taku ano tena e mohio nei: kahore hoki ahau i hoki iho i a koutou.
Njengokolwazi lwenu lami ngiyakwazi; kangiphansi kulani.
3 Ina, e whai kupu ano ahau ki te Kaha Rawa: a e hiahia ana ki te korerorero ki te Atua.
Kodwa mina ngizakhuluma loSomandla, ngifisa ukuqondisana loNkulunkulu.
4 Ko koutou ia, he hunga tito i te teka, he rata horihori noa koutou katoa.
Kodwa lina-ke ligcona ngamanga, lonke lingabelaphi abangelamsebenzi.
5 Te pai na, me i mutu rawa a koutou korero! Ko to koutou whakaaro nui hoki tena.
Kungathi ngabe liyathula lithi zwi; lokhu kube yinhlakanipho kini!
6 Tena ra, whakarongo mai ki taku tautohe, maharatia nga whawhai a oku ngutu.
Ake lizwe ukuzivikela kwami, lilalele impikiso zendebe zami.
7 Me tautoko ta te Atua ki te kupu kino? me tautoko ranei tana ki te tinihanga?
Lizamkhulumela uNkulunkulu ngokubi, limkhulumele ngenkohliso yini?
8 Ka whakapai kanohi koia koutou ki a ia? Ma koutou ranei ta te Atua tautohe?
Lizakwemukela ubuso bakhe, lizammela yini uNkulunkulu?
9 He pai ranei kia rapua ta koutou e ia? E maminga ranei koutou ki a ia, e pera me tetahi ka maminga nei ki te tangata?
Kuzakuba kuhle yini lapho elihlola? Lizamkhohlisa yini njengokhohlisa umuntu?
10 He pono ka whakahe ia ki a koutou ki te whakapai puku koutou i te kanohi.
Isibili uzalisola, uba lisemukela ubuso ensitha.
11 E kore ranei koutou e mataku ki tona nui? E kore ranei te wehi ki a ia e tau ki a koutou?
Ubukhulu bakhe kabulethusi yini, lokwesabeka kwakhe kulehlele?
12 Ko a koutou pepeha nunui he whakatauki no te pungarehu, ko o koutou parepare he parepare paru.
Izikhumbuzo zenu ziyizaga zomlotha, izivikelo zenu ziyizivikelo zebumba.
13 Kati te korero, waiho noa iho ahau, kia korero ai ahau, ahakoa pa mai te aha ki ahau.
Thulani lingiyekele, ukuze ngikhulume mina; kungehlele loba kuyini.
14 He aha oku kikokiko i ngaua ai e oku niho? He aha toku wairua i waiho ai e ahau i roto i toku ringa?
Ngizayithathelani inyama yami ngamazinyo ami, ngibeke impilo yami esandleni sami?
15 Ahakoa whakamate noa ia i ahau, ka tatari tonu ahau ki a ia: otiia ka mau tonu ahau ki oku ara i tona aroaro.
Lanxa ezangibulala, ngizathemba kuye. Kanti ngizazimela indlela zami phambi kwakhe.
16 Ko tenei hoki hei oranga moku; e kore hoki te tangata atuakore e tae mai ki tona aroaro.
Njalo uzakuba lusindiso lwami; ngoba umzenzisi kayikuza phambi kwakhe.
17 Ata whakarongo ki aku korero: kia anga mai o koutou taringa ki taku e whakapuaki nei.
Zwisisani ilizwi lami, lengcazelo yami ngendlebe zenu.
18 Na kua takoto taku mo te whakawa; e mohio ana ahau he tika ahau.
Khangelani-ke, sengilubeke kuhle udaba lwami, ngiyazi ukuthi mina ngizalungisiswa.
19 Ko wai ia hei totohe ki ahau? Ka whakarongo puku hoki ahau aianei, a ka hemo ahau.
Ngubani lowo ozaphikisana lami? Nxa khathesi ngithula ngizaphela.
20 Engari kaua nga mea e rua e meatia mai ki ahau; katahi ahau ka kore e huna i ahau i tou mata.
Kuphela ungenzi izinto ezimbili kimi; khona ngingayikucatshela ubuso bakho.
21 Kia matara atu tou ringa ki tawhiti i ahau; a kaua ahau e whakawehia e te mataku ki a koe.
Susela khatshana lami isandla sakho, lokwesabeka kwakho kungangethusi.
22 Ko reira, mau e karanga, a maku e whakao atu; maku ranei e korero, a mau e whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
Ubusungibiza, mina ngizaphendula; kumbe ngikhulume, ungiphendule.
23 Ka hia ra oku kino, oku hara? Meinga ahau kia matau ki toku he me toku hara.
Zingaki iziphambeko lezono engilazo? Ngazisa isiphambeko sami lesono sami.
24 He aha tou mata i huna ai e koe? He aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he hoariri?
Ufihlelani ubuso bakho, ungiphathe njengesitha sakho?
25 E kapokapohia ranei e koe te pakawha e puhia haeretia ana? E whaia ranei e koe te papapa maroke?
Uzakwethusa yini ihlamvu eliphephethekayo? Njalo uzaxotshana lomule owomileyo yini?
26 Kei te tuhituhi na hoki koe i nga mea kawa moku, e mea ana hoki kia riro mai i ahau nga he o toku taitamarikitanga.
Ngoba ubale izinto ezibabayo umelene lami, wangenza ngadla ilifa leziphambeko zobutsha bami.
27 Karapitia iho e koe oku waewae ki te rakau, he mea tohu nau oku ara katoa, a he mea tuhi nau oku takahanga waewae tawhio noa:
Ufake lenyawo zami esigodweni, waqaphela zonke indlela zami, wazidweba uluphawu empandeni zezinyawo zami.
28 Ahakoa toku rite kei te mea pirau, e memeha noa ana, kei te kakahu e kainga ana e te purehurehu.
Yena-ke njengokubolileyo uyaguga, njengesembatho inundu esidlayo.
