UDutheronomi 16
1 “Gcinani inyanga ka-Abhibhi njalo lihloniphe iPhasika likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ngoba ngenyanga ka-Abhibhi walikhupha eGibhithe ngobusuku.
“Tokanga ki he māhina ko ʻApipi, pea fai ai ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ʻIsipite ʻi he poʻuli ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.
2 Nikelani okwePhasika kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngesifuyo esivela emhlambini wenu loba emhlambini wezimvu endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ukuba ibe yindawo yebizo lakhe.
Ko ia ke ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fanga manu siʻi mo e fanga manu lalahi, ʻi he potu ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa.
3 Lingasidli ndawonye lesinkwa esilemvubelo, kodwa okwensuku eziyisikhombisa kumele lidle isinkwa esingelamvubelo, isinkwa sokuhlupheka, ngoba lasuka eGibhithe ngokujaha ukuze insuku zonke zokuphila kwenu likhumbule isikhathi elasuka ngaso eGibhithe.
ʻOua naʻa ke kai mo ia ʻae mā kuo fakalēvani: ke ke kai ia mo e mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻio, ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi; he naʻa ke haʻu kituʻa mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he fakatoʻotoʻo: koeʻuhi ke ke manatu ai ki he ʻaho naʻa ke haʻu ai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui ni.
4 Akungafunyanwa mvubelo kini lakulo lonke ilizwe lenu okwensuku eziyisikhombisa. Njalo lingatshiyi inyama yomhlatshelo wantambama ivuke ilokhu ikhona ngosuku olulandelayo.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻiate koe ha mā kuo fakalēvani ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ko e kakano ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi he efiafi ʻoe ʻuluaki ʻaho, ʻoua naʻa tuku hono toe ʻi he pō ko ia ki he pongipongi.
5 Linganikeli okwePhasika loba kukuliphi idolobho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azalinika lona
ʻOku ʻikai ngofua ke tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu ʻi ho ngaahi lotoʻā kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe:
6 ngaphandle kwalapho azakhetha khona ukuba kube yindawo yeBizo lakhe. Kulapho elizakwenzela khona umhlatshelo wePhasika ntambama, ekutshoneni kwelanga, kuyisikhumbuzo selanga elasuka ngalo eGibhithe.
Ka ʻi he potu ko ia ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa, ko e potu ko ia ke ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻi ai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi he efiafi, ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, ʻi he feituʻu naʻa ke haʻu ai kituʻa mei ʻIsipite.
7 Yoseni libe seliyidlela endaweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azalikhethela yona. Kuzakuthi ekuseni libuyele emathenteni enu.
Pea te ke toʻo ʻo kai ia ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: pea te ke foki ʻi he pongipongi ʻo ʻalu ki ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
8 Okwensuku eziyisithupha lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo kuthi ngosuku lwesikhombisa libuthane kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lingenzi msebenzi.”
Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke kai mā taʻefakalēvani: pea ke fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ai ha ngāue ʻe taha.
9 “Balani amaviki ayisikhombisa kusukela mhla liqalisa ukuvuna amabele.
“Ke ke lau kiate koe ʻae uike ʻe fitu ke ke kamata hoʻo lau ʻae uike ʻe fitu mei he ʻaho ʻoku ke fuofua ʻai ʻae helepiko [ke tuʻusi ]ʻae uite.
10 Beselithakazelela uMkhosi wamaViki kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngokupha umnikelo wokuzithandela kusiya ngezibusiso uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu aliphe zona.
Pea ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae feilaulau ʻoe meʻa loto lelei mei ho nima, ʻaia ke ke ʻatu ʻo fakatatau ki he tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:
11 Ngakho thokozani phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni azayikhethela ukuba ngeyeBizo lakhe, lina lamadodana lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu zesifazane, abaLevi abasemadolobheni enu, kanye labezizweni, izintandane labafelokazi abahlezi phakathi kwenu.
Pea te ke fiefia ko e ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo ho ʻofefine, mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻo kaunanga, mo e Livai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kolo, mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa.
12 Khumbulani ukuthi laliyizigqili eGibhithe, ngakho landelani leziziqondiso ngonanzelelo.”
Pea te ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite: pea te ke tokanga mo fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko eni.
13 “Gcinani uMkhosi weziHonqo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa ngemva kokubutha amabele enu ezindaweni zokubhulela lezokuhluzela iwayini.
“Ke ke tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he hili hoʻo tānaki hoʻo uite mo hoʻo uaine.
14 Thokozani emkhosini wenu, lina, amadodana enu kanye lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu, kanye labaLevi, abezizweni, izintandane kanye labafelokazi abahlezi emadolobheni enu.
Pea te ke fiefia ʻi hoʻo kātoanga, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo ho ʻofefine, mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻo kaunanga, mo e Livai, mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e fefine paea, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho lotoʻā.
15 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa thakazelelani umkhosi kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ezindaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo. Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzalibusisa esivunweni senu sonke kanye lemisebenzini yezandla zenu, ukuze kupheleliswe intokozo yenu.
Ke ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova: koeʻuhi ʻe tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo tupu meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima, ko ia ke ke fiefia moʻoni ai.
16 Kathathu ngomnyaka, wonke amadoda kumele aziveze phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni azayikhetha, eMkhosini weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo, eMkhosini wamaViki kanye leMkhosini weziHonqo. Akungabi lamuntu ozabuya phambi kukaThixo engaphathanga lutho:
“ʻE liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae fakahā ʻa hoʻo kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe ia; ʻi ho kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki: pea ʻoua naʻa mou haʻu mola pe ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova:
17 Ngamunye phakathi kwenu kumele lize liphethe isipho kusiya ngokuthi liphiwe labusiswa ngokunganani nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
ʻE foaki ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene mafai, ʻo taau mo e tāpuaki ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate koe.
18 “Khethani abehluleli lezikhulu ezizwaneni zenu zonke kuwo wonke amadolobho enu elizawaphiwa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, njalo bahlulele abantu ngemfanelo.
“Ke ke fakanofo ʻae kau fakamaau mo e kau matāpule kiate koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi ho ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē: pea kenau fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻi he fakamaau angatonu.
19 Lingonakalisi ukulunga loba libandlulule. Lingavumi ukufunjathiswa ngoba ukufunjathiswa kufiphaza amehlo abahlakaniphileyo kulahlekise amazwi omuntu ongelacala.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakahalaʻi ʻae fakamaau; ʻoua naʻa ke filifilimānako ki he tangata, pe maʻu ha tukungoue: he ʻoku fakakui ʻe he meʻa foaki ʻae mata ʻoe poto, mo ne fakahalaʻi ʻae lea ʻae angatonu.
20 Landelani ukulunga lilandele khona kuphela, khona lizaphila lilithumbe ilizwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona.”
Ko ia ʻoku mātuʻaki angatonu ke ke muimui ki ai, koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui ai koe, pea maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.
21 “Lingazimiseli o-Ashera bezigodo phansi kwe-alithari elizalakhela uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu,
“ʻE ʻikai te ke tō ʻe koe ha ngaahi ʻakau ke ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia te ke ngaohi kiate koe.
22 njalo lingamisi ilitshe elizakuthi lina lingcwele, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyakuzonda lokho.”
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fokotuʻu kiate koe ha meʻa fakatātā; ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
