UDutheronomi 13
1 “Nxa umphrofethi, loba umuntu oboniswa ngamaphupho, angavela phakathi kwenu abesebika imilingo loba isimanga,
“Kapau ʻoku tupu hake meiate kimoutolu ha taha ʻoku kikite, pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi, pea tuku kiate koe ha fakaʻilonga pe ha meʻa fakaofo,
2 kuthi leyomilingo loba lesosimanga ayabe ekhulume ngaso, kubonakale kusenzakala, abesesithi, ‘Asilandeleni abanye onkulunkulu’ (onkulunkulu elingabaziyo) ‘njalo asibakhonzeni,’
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻilonga pe ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻaia naʻa ne lea ki ai, pea pehē ʻe ia, Ketau ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo, pea ketau tauhi ʻakinautolu;
3 lingalaleli amazwi alowo mphrofethi loba umuntu wamaphupho. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzabe elilinga efuna ukubona kumbe liyamthanda yini ngezinhliziyo zenu kanye langemiphefumulo yenu yonke.
ʻOua naʻa ke tokanga ki he lea ʻae kikite ko ia, pe ko e tokotaha ko ia ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi: he ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ke ʻilo pe te mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻaki homou loto kotoa mo homou laumālie kotoa:
4 NguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu okumele limlandele, kanti nguye uqobo okumele limesabe. Gcinani imilayo yakhe njalo limlalele; mkhonzeni libambelele liqine kuye.
Ke mou muimui ʻia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea manavahē kiate ia, pea tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea fai talangofua ki hono leʻo, pea ke mou tauhi ia, pea pikitai kiate ia.
5 Lowo mphrofethi loba lowomuntu wamaphupho akhe kumele abulawe, ngoba utshumayele wakhuthaza ukuhlamukela uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, owalikhupha eGibhithe njalo walihlenga elizweni lobugqili; njalo ngumuntu obezama ukuliphambula endleleni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alilaya ngayo ukuba liyilandele. Kumele lihlambulule ububi phakathi kwenu.
Pea ko e kikite ko ia, pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi ko ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ia; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lea ke fakatafoki ʻakimoutolu meia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo ne huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he fale fakapōpula, ke fakahēʻi koe mei he hala ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke ʻalu ai. Pea ʻe pehē pe hoʻo tukuange ʻae kovi meiate koe.
6 Nxa umfowenu uqobo, loba indodana loba indodakazi yakho, loba umfazi wakho omthandayo, loba umngane wakho osekhwapheni, angavele akuhuge ensitha, esithi, ‘Asihambe siyekhonza abanye onkulunkulu’ (onkulunkulu lina laboyihlo elingazange libazi,
“Kapau ʻoku fakahekeheke fakafufū kiate koe ʻe ho tokoua, ko e tama ʻa hoʻo faʻē, pē ko ho foha, pē ko ho ʻofefine, pē ko e uaifi ʻo ho fatafata, pe ko ho kaumeʻa ʻaia ʻoku tatau mo ho laumālie ʻoʻou, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ta ō ʻo tauhi ʻotua kehe,’ ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi, ʻe koe, pe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai;
7 onkulunkulu babantu elakhelene labo, eduzane loba khatshana, kusukela emaphethelweni esigaba kusiyaphutsha ngale kwaso),
ʻI he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻaia ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu pe ʻoku [nau ]ofi kiate koe, pe ʻoku mamaʻo atu ʻiate koe, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani ʻo aʻu atu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe taha;
8 lingamvumeli futhi lingamlaleli. Lingamtshengiseli uzwelo. Lingamphephisi njalo lingamvikeli.
ʻOua naʻa ke tui kiate ia, pe fie tokanga ki ai; pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻofa ho mata kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa ke mamae ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ia:
9 Kumele ngeqiniso abulawe. Isandla senu kumele sibe yiso esikhokhela ukubulawa kwakhe, kulandele zonke ezabanye abantu.
Ka ke tāmateʻi moʻoni ia; ʻe tomuʻa hoko ho nima kiate ia ke tāmateʻi ia, pea toki hoko ki ai ʻae nima ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.
10 Mkhandeni ngamatshe limbulale, ngoba uzame ukuliphambula elisusa kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, owalikhupha eGibhithe, walikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
Pea te ke tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka, ke ne mate; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻahiʻahi ke fakahēʻi koe meia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula.
11 Ngalokho wonke u-Israyeli uzakuzwa esabe, kakho loyedwa phakathi kwenu ozake aphinde enze into enjalo futhi.
Pea ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea manavahē, pea ʻe ʻikai toe fai ha angakovi pehē ʻiate kimoutolu.
12 Lingezwa kuthiwa kuledolobho elikwenzayo lokhu phakathi kwamadolobho eliwaphiwe nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ukuba lihlale kuwo
“Kapau te ke fanongo ki he talanoa ʻi ha kolo ʻe taha, ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe ke ke nofo ai, ʻo pehē,
13 kulamadoda aphakathi kwenu asedukise abantu balawo madolobho, esithi, ‘Asihambeni siyokhonza abanye onkulunkulu’ (onkulunkulu elingakaze libazi),
Ko e kau tangata niʻihi, ko e fānau ʻae kovi, kuo ʻalu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea kuo nau fakahēʻi ʻae kakai ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke tau ō ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe,’ ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻilo;
14 kufanele libuzisise, lichwayisise lihlole ngokupheleleyo. Kuthi nxa kuliqiniso njalo kugcwaliseke ukuthi lesisinengiso sikhona phakathi kwenu,
Te ke toki fehuʻi koe, ʻo faʻa ʻeke, fehuʻi fakapapau; pea vakai, kapau ʻoku moʻoni, pea kuo pau ʻaupito ʻae meʻa ko ia pea kuo fai ʻae meʻa kovi lahi ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu;
15 kumele lifake inkemba ngeqiniso kulabo bonke abahlala kulelodolobho. Lilichithe litshabalale ngeqiniso, abantu bakhona kanye lezifuyo zakhona.
Ko e moʻoni te ke teʻia ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo ko ia ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, mo e ngaahi fanga manu ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
16 Buthelelani konke okuthunjiweyo kulelodolobho phakathi enzikini yalo enkundleni yokuhlanganela kwabantu lilithungele litshe lilobe lelodolobho kanye lempahla zalo zonke njengomnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Kumele lisale lilunxiwa lelodolobho kokuphela, lingakhiwa kutsha futhi.
Pea te ke tānaki hono vete kotoa pē ki he loto hala motuʻa, pea ke tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae kolo ko ia, pea mo e vete kotoa pē ʻo ia, koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ka ʻe hoko ia ko e tafungofunga pe ʻo taʻengata; ʻe ʻikai toe langa ia.
17 Akungabi lokukodwa kwalokho okusoliweyo okuzafunyanwa ezandleni zenu, ukuze uThixo adedise ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo; alitshengisele umusa wakhe, abe lozwelo kini, andise amanani enu, njengoba wathembisa ngesifungo kubokhokho benu,
“Pea ke ʻoua naʻa hiki ki homou nima ha meʻa siʻi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakamalaʻia, koeʻuhi ke tafoki ʻa Sihova mei hono lahi fau ʻo hono houhau, pea fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate koe, pea manavaʻofa kiate koe, pea fakatokolahi koe, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai;
18 ngoba lilalela uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ligcina imilayo yakhe le engilinika yona lamuhla njalo lisenza okulungileyo emehlweni akhe.”
ʻOka ke ka tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
