< UDutheronomi 10 >
1 “Ngalesosikhathi uThixo wathi kimi, ‘Baza ezinye izibhebhedu zamatshe ezimbili zifanane lezakuqala uze lazo kimi entabeni. Uphinde njalo wenze ibhokisi ngezigodo.
“Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ‘Ke ke tā mai ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki, pea ke ʻalu hake kiate au ki he moʻunga, pea ke ngaohi kiate koe ha puha ʻakau.’
2 Ngizabhala kulezozibhebhedu amazwi ayesezibhebhedwini zakuqala owaziphahlazayo. Ube usuzifaka kulelobhokisi.’
Pea te u tohi ki he ongo maka lafalafa ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki maka ʻaia naʻa ke maumauʻi, pea te ke ʻai ia ki he puha.
3 Ngakho ngenza ibhokisi lesivumelwano ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya ngasengibaza izibhebhedu ezimbili zamatshe ezifanana lezakuqala, ngasengikhwela entabeni ngiphethe lezo zibhebhedu ezimbili.
Pea ne u ngaohi ʻae puha ʻoe ʻakau ko e sitimi, peau tātā ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki, pea u ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, naʻe ʻi hoku nima ʻae ongo maka lafalafa.
4 UThixo wabhala kulezozibhebhedu lokho ayekubhale kwezakuqala, imiThetho eliTshumi ayeyimemezele kini ephakathi komlilo, entabeni, ngosuku lokuhlangana. UThixo wasenginika zona izibhebhedu.
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe ia ki he ongo maka lafalafa ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻuluaki tohi, ko e fekau ʻe hongofulu, ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻi he moʻunga mei he lotolotonga ʻoe afi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakataha: pea naʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova kiate au.
5 Ngakho ngasengibuya ngisehla entabeni ngafika ngafaka izibhebhedu ebhokisini engangilenzile njengokulaywa kwami nguThixo, yikho zilokhu zikhona lakhathesi.”
Pea naʻaku tafoki au ʻo ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, peau ʻai ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ki he puha naʻaku ngaohi; pea ʻoku ʻi ai ia, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate au.
6 (Abako-Israyeli bahamba besuka emithonjeni yaseBherothi-Bheni-Jakhani kusiya eMosera. Kulapho u-Aroni afela khona njalo wangcwatshwa khona, kwathi indodana yakhe u-Eliyazari yathatha isikhundla sakhe sobuphristi.
“Pea naʻe hiki ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻa honau fononga mei Piheloti ʻoe fānau ʻa Sekani ki Mosela: pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa ʻElone, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi ai; pea naʻe tongia ia ʻe ʻEliesa ko hono foha ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
7 Besuka lapho bahamba baya eGudigoda bedlulela eJothibhatha, ezweni elilezifula ezilamanzi.
Pea naʻa nau fononga mei ai ki Kotikota; pea mei Kotikota ki Sotipati, ko e fonua ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe.
8 Ngalesosikhathi uThixo wehlukanisa abaLevi ukuze bathwale umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo, ukuma phambi kukaThixo besenza umsebenzi wokukhonza kanye lokwethula izibusiso ngebizo lakhe, njengoba bekwenza lanamuhla.
“Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ke haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova, ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke tauhi kiate ia, mo tāpuakiʻi ʻi hono huafa, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
9 Yikho abaLevi bengelasabelo loba ilifa phakathi kwabafowabo; elabo ilifa nguThixo, njengoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wabatshela.)
Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ai ha tufakanga, pe ha tofiʻa ʻe Livai fakataha mo hono kāinga; ko hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa kiate ia ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
10 “Ngasengihlale phezu kwentaba insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, njengalokhu engangikwenze kuqala, lakanye uThixo wangilalela futhi okwalesosikhathi. Kwakungasikufisa kwakhe ukulibhubhisa.
Pea ne u tatali ʻi he moʻunga, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo hangē ko e fuofua fai; pea naʻe tokanga kiate au ʻa Sihova ʻi he kuonga foki ko ia, pea naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova.
11 UThixo wathi kimi, ‘Hamba uyekhokhela abantu endleleni yabo, ukwenzela ukuthi bangene bathathe ilizwe engafunga kuboyise ukuthi ngizabapha lona.’”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, Tuʻu hake, ʻo fononga atu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi kenau ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu.
12 “Khathesi-ke, Oh Israyeli, kuyini uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho angakucela kuwe ngaphandle kokuba umesabe uThixo wakho, ukuhamba ezindleleni zakhe, ukumthanda, ukumsebenzela uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomoya wakho wonke,
“Pea ko eni, ʻE ʻIsileli, ko e hā ia ʻoku fekau ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ka ke manavahē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē, pea ke ʻofa kiate ia, pea ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa pea mo ho laumālie kotoa.
13 lokugcina imilayo kaThixo kanye lezimiso lezi engilinika zona lamhlanje ukuze kulilungele?
Ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni ke ke lelei ai?
14 Amazulu ngakaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lamazulu aphakameyo, umhlaba kanye lakho konke okukiwo.
Vakai, ko e langi mo e langi ʻoe ngaahi langi ʻoku ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko māmani foki, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai.
15 Kanti-ke uThixo watshengisela isihawu sakhe kubokhokho benu njalo wabathanda, ngalokho wakhetha lina, eliyizizukulwane zabo, phezu kwazo zonke ezinye izizwe, njengoba kunjalo lalamuhla.
Ka naʻe finangalo lelei ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne fili honau hako kimui ʻiate kinautolu, ʻio, ko kimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.
16 Ngakho-ke, sokani inhliziyo zenu, njalo lingabe lisaba ngontamozilukhuni futhi.
Ko ia ke mou kamuʻi ʻae kili ʻo homou loto, pea ʻoua te mou kei kia kekeva.
17 Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu nguNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu njalo unguMbusi wababusi, uNkulunkulu omkhulu, olamandla njalo owesabekayo, ongelabandlululo futhi ongemukeli isivalamlomo.
He ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, mo e ʻEiki ia ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki, ko e ʻOtua lāngilangi, ko e māfimafi, mo fakailifia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ki he kakai, pe maʻu ha totongi:
18 Uyawavikela amalungelo ezintandane kanye labafelokazi, njalo uyabathanda abangabezizweni phakathi kwenu, ubanika ukudla lezembatho.
ʻOku ne fakamaau ʻe ia maʻae tamai mate mo e fefine paea, ʻoku ʻofa ia ki he muli, ʻo ne foaki ki ai ʻae meʻakai mo e kofu.
19 Ngakho kuzamele lithande abezizweni, njengoba lina lalingabezizweni eGibhithe.
Ko ia mou ʻofa foki ki he muli: he naʻa mou nofo ko e kau muli ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
20 Mesabeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njalo limkhonze. Bambelelani kuye njalo lenze izifungo zenu ngebizo lakhe.
Ke ke manavahē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ko ia pe ke ke tauhi, pea ke pikitai kiate ia pe, pea fuakava ki hono huafa.
21 Uyindumiso yenu, unguNkulunkulu wenu, owalenzela lezozimanga ezinkulu lezesabekayo elazibona ngamehlo enu.
Ko ho vikivikiʻanga ia, pea ko ho ʻOtua ia, ʻaia kuo ne fai maʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi mo fakamanavahē, ʻaia kuo mamata ki ai ʻa ho mata.
22 Okhokho benu abaya eGibhithe babengamatshumi ayisikhombisa kuphela, kanti khathesi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uselenze laba banengi njengezinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni.”
Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tamai ki ʻIsipite ko e kakai ʻe toko fitungofulu; pea ko eni kuo ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi homou tokolahi.
