UDutheronomi 12

1 “Lezi yizo izimiso lemilayo okumele likugcine ngonanzelelo elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu nxa lilokhu lisahlala kulelolizwe.

“Ko eni ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia ke mou tokanga ki ai ʻo fai ʻi he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ke maʻu ia ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoku mou moʻui ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.

2 Dilizani ngokupheleleyo zonke izindawo izizwe elizinqobayo ezazikhonzela onkulunkulu bazo khona, ezintabeni eziphakemeyo lasemaqaqeni kanye langaphansi kwezihlahla ezinabileyo.

Ke mou fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae potu kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻi ai honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga te mou ikuna, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē:

3 Dilizani ama-alithare ezizwe, libhidlize amatshe abawakhonzayo litshise izinsika zika-Ashera emlilweni, dilizelani phansi izithombe zabo lihle lichithe licitshe amabizo abo kulezondawo.

Pea ke mou holoki hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea fesiʻi honau ngaahi pou, pea tutu honau ngaahi vaotapu ʻaki ʻae afi; pea ke mou tā hifo honau ngaahi meʻa fakatātā ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea fakaʻauha honau ngaahi hingoa mei he potu ko ia.

4 Lingalandeli izindlela zabo zokukhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.

‌ʻE ʻikai te mou fai pehē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

5 Kodwa lizadinga indawo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azayikhetha phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zenu, ukuze abeke iBizo lakhe lapho, ahlale khona. Kumele liye kuleyondawo;

Ka ko e potu ko ia ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua mei homou ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa, ʻio, ke mou kumi ki hono ʻafioʻanga, pea ke mou hoko atu ki ai:

6 khonapho lilethe iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lokwetshumi kwenu lezipho zenu eziqakathekileyo, lokho elifunge ukukunikela kanye leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela, amazibulo emihlambi yenu yenkomo leyezimvu.

Pea te mou fetuku ki ai ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, mo hoʻomou tukuhau, mo e feilaulau hiki hake ʻa homou nima, mo hoʻomou ngaahi fuakava, mo hoʻomou meʻa ʻatu ʻi he loto ʻofa, mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻa hoʻomou fanga manu lalahi mo hoʻomou fanga manu siʻi.

7 Khonapho, phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina kanye labantwabenu lizakudla njalo lijabule ngakho konke elike labeka izandla zenu kukho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulibusisile.

Pea ke mou kai ʻi ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea mou fiefia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou mafao atu homou nima ki ai, ʻakimoutolu mo homou kau nofoʻanga, ʻaia kuo tāpuaki ʻaki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

8 Lingabokwenza njengalokhu esikwenza lamuhla, ngamunye esenza njengokuthanda kwakhe,

‌ʻE ʻikai te mou fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tau fai ʻi heni he ʻaho ni, ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi hono ʻao ʻoʻona.

9 ngoba alikangeni endaweni yokuphumula kanye lelifeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona.

He ʻoku teʻeki ai hoko ʻakimoutolu ki he mālōlōʻanga, pea ki he tofiʻa, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.

10 Kodwa lizachapha uJodani liyekwakha lihlale elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe yilifa lenu, njalo uzaliphumuza ezitheni zenu elakhelene lazo ukuze lihlale livikelekile.

Ka ʻi hoʻomou ʻalu atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, pea nofo ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke mou maʻu, pea ʻi heʻene tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae mālōlō mei homou ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou nofo fiemālie pē;

11 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.

‌ʻE toki ʻi ai ha potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke pule ke nofo ki ai hono huafa; te mou fetuku ki ai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ko hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tukuhau, mo e feilaulau hiki hake ʻa homou nima, mo hoʻomou ngaahi fuakava ʻaia ʻoku mou fuakava ai kia Sihova:

12 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.

Pea te mou fiefia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻakimoutolu mo homou ngaahi foha, mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine, mo hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki, mo homou kau nofoʻanga, pea mo e kau Livai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi homou ngaahi lotoʻā; he koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai hano tufakanga pe tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu.

13 Limukani linganikeleli iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa ingqe kungaphi elithanda khona.

Vakai lelei kiate koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻatu hoʻo feilaulau tutu ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke mamata ki ai.

14 Nikelelani kuphela endaweni uThixo azayikhetha phakathi kwezizwana zenu kuthi selilapho linanzelele konke engililaya ngakho.

Ka ko e potu ko ia ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ʻi homou faʻahinga ʻe taha, ke ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻa hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pea ke fai ʻi ai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe.

15 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.

Ka neongo ia te ke tāmateʻi mo kai kakano ʻi ho ngaahi matapā kotoa pē, ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ke holi ki ai, ʻo fakatatau ki he tāpuaki ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaia kuo ne tuku kiate koe; ko e taʻemaʻa mo e maʻa kenau ʻai mei ai, ʻi he ʻanitelope mo haʻate.

16 Kodwa lingadli igazi lazo; lilahleni kungathi lichitha amanzi phansi.

Kaeʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mou kai ʻae toto; ka mou lilingi ia ki he kelekele ʻo hangē ko e vai.

17 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.

“ʻE ʻikai ngofua ke ke kai ʻi ho lotoʻā hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻo hoʻo uite, pe ʻo hoʻo uaine, pe ʻo hoʻo lolo, pe ko e ʻuluaki ʻuhiki ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi pe ko e fanga manu siʻi, pe ko ha meʻa ʻi hoʻo fuakava ʻaia kuo ke fuakava ki ai, pe ko hoʻo feilaulau loto lelei, pe ko e feilaulau hiki hake ʻa ho nima:

18 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.

Ka te ke kai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻoku fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻe koe, mo ho foha, mo ho ʻofefine, mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻo kaunanga, mo e Livai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho lotoʻā: pea te ke fiefia koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai.

19 Linanzelele lingalibali beselikhohlwa abaLevi nxa lilokhu lisahlala elizweni lenu.

Ke ke vakai kiate koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ʻae kau Livai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoku ke moʻui ai ʻi he māmani.

20 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.

“ʻOka fakalahi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻa ho fonua, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ne talaʻofa kiate koe, pea ke lau, ʻo pehē, Te u kai kakano, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo holi ke kai kakano; ʻe lelei pe hoʻo kai kakano, ʻaia ʻoku ke holi ki ai.

21 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.

Kapau ʻoku mamaʻo ʻiate koe ʻae potu ʻaia kuo fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa, te ke toki tāmateʻi mei hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pea mo hoʻo fanga manu siʻi, ʻaia kuo tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fekau kiate koe, pea te ke kai ʻi ho ngaahi matapā ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ke holi ki ai.

22 Lidle kungathi lidla ithaka lembabala. Bonke abangahlanzekanga ngokomkhuba labahlanzekileyo bangadla.

‌ʻO hangē ko e kai ʻae ʻanitelope mo e haʻate, ʻe pehē pe hoʻo kai ʻena: ʻe fakatou kai ʻae taʻemaʻa mo e maʻa mei ai.

23 Kodwa linanzelele lingadli igazi, ngoba igazi yiyo impilo ngakho akufanelanga ukuthi lidle impilo lenyama.

Ka ke vakai ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ke kai toto: he ko e toto ko e moʻui; pea ʻoku ʻikai ngofua haʻo kai ʻae moʻuiʻanga fakataha mo e kanomate.

24 Lingabokudla igazi; lichitheleni emhlabathini kungathi lilahla amanzi.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke kai ia, ka ke lilingi ia ki he kelekele ʻo hangē ko e vai.

25 Lingadli, ukuze kulihambele kuhle lina kanye labantwabenu abezayo, ngoba lizabe lenze okuhle emehlweni kaThixo.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke kai ia; koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea ki hoʻo fānau kimui ʻiate koe, ʻoka ke ka fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

26 Kodwa thathani lokho okugcotshiweyo lalokho elifunge ukukunikela lisuke liye endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo.

Ka ko hoʻo ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻaia ʻoku ke maʻu, mo hoʻo meʻa kuo ke fuakava ʻaki, ke ke toʻo ʻo ʻave ia ki he potu ʻaia kuo fili ʻe Sihova:

27 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.

Pea ke ʻatu hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ko e kakano mo hono toto, ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: pea ko e toto ʻo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau ʻe lilingi ia ki he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea te ke kai ʻe koe hono kakano.

28 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.

Ke ke vakai mo tokanga ki he ngaahi lea ni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe, Koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea ki hoʻo ngaahi fānau kimui ʻiate koe ʻo taʻengata, ʻoka ke ka fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei mo totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

29 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzazichitha phambi kwenu zonke izizwe okufanele lizihlasele libe selizemuka okungokwazo. Kodwa nxa selizinqobile lazichitha selihlezi elizweni lazo,

“ʻOka motuhi mei ho ʻao ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ʻakinautolu, pea kuo ke hoko ʻo fetongi ʻakinautolu, ʻo nofo ʻi honau fonua;

30 njalo nxa sezichithiwe phambi kwenu, liqaphele lingahugeki ngokubuza ngabonkulunkulu bazo lisithi, ‘Kanti zona lezizizwe zibakhonza njani onkulunkulu bazo? Lathi sizakwenza okufananayo.’

Ke ke vakai kiate koe telia naʻa kākāʻia koe ʻi hoʻo angimui kiate kinautolu, ʻoka hili hono fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei ho ʻao, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fehuʻi koe ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻo pehē, naʻe fēfē hono tauhi ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ni ki honau ngaahi ʻotua? He ʻe pehē pē ʻeku fai.

31 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.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke fai pehē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: he ko e meʻa kovi kotoa pē kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ia ki ai, kuo ʻosi ʻenau fai ki honau ngaahi ʻotua; he ko honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine kuo nau tutu ʻi he afi ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.

32 Nanzelelani ukuthi lenza lokho engililaya ngakho, lingengezeleli loba liphungule kulokho.”

“Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, mou tokanga ki ai ʻo fai, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalahi ia, pē fakasiʻisiʻi ki ai.
