UDutheronomi 25
1 “Nxa amadoda exabana, ingxabano yawo kumele isiwe emthethwandaba ukuze kuthi abehluleli bakhuphe isinqumo ngaleyondaba, bakhulule omsulwa njalo bamlahle olecala.
“Ne dzre dzɔ ɖe ŋutsu eve dome la, ʋɔnudrɔ̃la adrɔ̃ nya la na wo, atso afia na ame si tɔ dzɔ, eye wòabu fɔ ame si tɔ medzɔ o.
2 Nxa olecala kufanele atshaywe, umahluleli uzakuthi kalale acambalale athi katshaywe laye ekhona ngalezonswazi ezilingene lelocala,
Ne ʋɔnudrɔ̃la la kpɔ be ele be woaƒo agɔdzela la, ekema ana agɔdzela la namlɔ anyi, eye woaƒoe le eŋkume ati xexlẽme ale si dze na agɔdzedze la.
3 kodwa akufanelanga zedlule ezingamatshumi amane. Nxa etshaywe inswazi ezedlula lapho, umfowenu usezabe esuswe isithunzi emehlweni akho.
Woaƒoe zi blaene ko, ke mawu nenema o. Ne woƒoe wu nenema la, tohehe la asẽ akpa, eye wòaɖi gbɔ̃ nɔviwò le wò ŋkume.
4 Ungafaki inkabi yakho isayeke nxa ibhula amabele.
“Mègade ga nu na nyitsu si le agble me le dɔ wɔm o.”
5 Nxa amadodana endoda ehlala kwenye indawo omunye abe esesifa engelandodana, umfelokazi akumelanga ayekwendela kwenye indawo. Umfowabo wendoda kumele amthathe ukuze agcwalise umlandu womfowabo kulowomfelokazi.
“Ne ŋutsu aɖe nɔviŋutsu ku, eye vi aɖeke mele ame kuku la si o la, ahosi la mekpɔ mɔ aɖe srɔ̃ tso ƒome bubu me o, ke boŋ srɔ̃a kukua nɔviŋutsu naɖee, eye wòadɔ egbɔ.
6 Indodana yakuqala ezazalwa lapho kumele ibizwe ngomfowabo owafayo ukuze ibizo lakhe lingatshabalali ko-Israyeli.
Woabu vi gbãtɔ si ahosi la adzi la abe ame si ku la ƒe vi ene, ale be ame si ku la ƒe ŋkɔ mabu le Israel o.
7 Kodwa-ke, indoda nxa ingafuni ukuthatha umfazi womfowabo, kuzamele umfazi lowo aye ebadaleni esangweni ledolobho afike athi, ‘Umfowabo wendoda yami uyala ukuqhuba ibizo lomfowabo ko-Israyeli. Kafuni ukuthi agcwalise umlandu womfowabo.’
Ke ne nɔviŋutsu la gbe be yemawɔ yeƒe dɔdeasi le go sia me o hegbe ahosi la ɖeɖe la, ekema ahosi la ayi dumemetsitsiwo gbɔ, eye wòagblɔ na wo be, ‘Srɔ̃nye nɔviŋutsu gbe be yemana nɔvia ŋutsu si ku la ƒe ŋkɔ natsi anyi le Israel o. Egbe be yemaɖem o.’
8 Ngakho abadala balelodolobho lakhe bazambiza bakhulume laye. Nxa angala kokuphela esithi, ‘Angifuni ukumthatha,’
“Dumemetsitsiwo ayɔ ŋutsu la aƒo nu kplii tso nya la ŋu. Ne egagbe kokoko la,
9 umfelokazi lowo uzamqonda phambi kwabadala, bamkhuphe inyathelo elilodwa, amkhafulele emehlweni athi, ‘Lokhu yikho okwenziwa endodeni engafuniyo ukuvusela umfowabo indlu yakhe.’
ekema nyɔnu la ate ɖe ŋutsu la ŋu le ametsitsiawo ŋkume, aɖe tokota le afɔ nɛ, eye wòaɖe ta ɖe mo nɛ. Le esia megbe la, nyɔnu la agblɔ be, ‘Nu siae wɔa ŋutsu si gbe be yematu ye nɔvi si ku la ƒe aƒe ɖo o.’
10 Usendo lwaleyondoda ko-Israyeli luzakwaziwa njengeNdlu engelaNyathelo.
Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woayɔ ŋutsu la ƒe aƒe me le Israel be, ‘Ŋutsu si woɖe tokota le afɔ na la ƒe aƒe me!’
11 Nxa amadoda amabili esilwa kube sekusithi umfazi wenye athelele, ancedise indoda yakhe, abesexhakalaza leyondoda ngamaphambili,
“Ne ŋutsu eve le avu wɔm, eye ɖeka srɔ̃ va de srɔ̃a dzi helé ŋutsu kemɛ ɖe asi na srɔ̃a la,
12 kumele liqume isandla sowesifazane lowo. Lingabi lesihawu kuye lakancane.
ekema woalã nyɔnu la ƒe asi ɖa. Mègakpɔ nublanui nɛ o.”
13 Ungabokuba lezilinganiso zesisindo ezimbili emgodleni wakho ezehlukeneyo, esinye esinzima lesinye esilula.
“Nudakpe eve tɔgbi, esi de tututu kple esi mede tututu o la, meganɔ kotoku me na wò o.
14 Ungabi lezilinganiso ezimbili ezehlukeneyo endlini yakho, esinye esikhulu lesinye esincinyane.
Nenema ke dzidzeka eve tɔgbi, esi de tututu kple esi mede o la, meganɔ asiwò o.
15 Kumele libe lezilinganiso eziqondileyo leziqotho loba ngezesisindo loba ngezobukhulu, ukuze libe lempilo ende elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona.
Ke boŋ wɔ nudakpe kple dzidzeka siwo de tututu la ko ŋu dɔ, ale be wò ŋkekewo nasɔ gbɔ le anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la ana wò la dzi.
16 Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyanengeka ngomuntu owenza lezizinto, yiloba ngubani owenza izinto zobuqili.
Ame siwo katã baa wo nɔviwo to nudanu kple dzidzeka mademadewo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ me la nye ŋunyɔnu le Yehowa, wò Mawu ŋkume.
17 Khumbula okwenziwa ngama-Amaleki kuwe endleleni uphuma eGibhithe.
“Mele be nàŋlɔ nu si Amalekitɔwo wɔ mi esi miegbɔna tso Egipte la be gbeɖegbeɖe o.
18 Kwathi lapho usudinwe kakhulu ungaselamandla, akuhlangabeza ohanjweni lwakho, abachitha bonke ababesalela emuva; ayengamesabi uNkulunkulu.
Ɖo ŋku edzi be wowɔ aʋa kpli mi, eye wowu ame siwo ŋu ŋusẽ vɔ le, ame siwo ŋu ɖeɖi te kple ame siwo tsi megbe. Womesro Mawu ɖa alo vɔ̃e o,
19 Mhla uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika ukuphumula kuzozonke izitha zakho ezikuhanqileyo elizweni akunika lona ukuba libe yilifa lakho, uzatshabalalisa nya ibizo lama-Amaleki ngaphansi kwezulu. Ungakhohlwa!”
eya ta ne Yehowa, wò Mawu la na nèvo tso wò futɔwo katã ƒe asi me le ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi la, ele na wò be nàtsrɔ̃ Amaleki ƒe ŋkɔ ɖa keŋkeŋ le dziƒoa te. Mègaŋlɔ nu sia be gbeɖe o.”
