< UDutheronomi 26 >
1 “Nxa usungenile elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona njengelifa njalo usulithethe wahlala kulo
A IA hiki aku oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai nou, a lilo ia nou, a noho iho oe malaila;
2 thatha ezinye zezithelo zakuqala zazo, zonke izilimo zomhlabathi welizwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona uzifake esitsheni. Uhambe uye endaweni leyo uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho azayikhetha njengendawo yokuhlala yeBizo lakhe
E kii oe i kekahi o na hua mua a pau o ka honua, a o kau ia e lawe no ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou, a e waiho iloko o ka hinai, a e hele aku oe ma kahi a Iehova kou Akua i wae ai e hoopaa i kona inoa malaila.
3 uthi kumphristi osesikhundleni ngalesosikhathi, ‘Ngiyamemezela lamuhla kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ukuthi sengifikile elizweni uThixo afunga kubokhokho bethu ukuthi uzasinika lona.’
A e hele oe i ke kahuna e noho ana ia mau la, a e i aku ia ia, Ke hooia aku nei au ia Iehova kou Akua i keia la, no ka mea, ua hiki mai nei au ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko kakou mau kupana e haawi mai no kakou.
4 Umphristi uzakwamukela isitsha esisezandleni zakho asibeke phansi phambi kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.
A e lawe ke kahuna i ka hinai mai kou lima ae, a e waiho ia imua o ke kuahu o Iehova kou Akua.
5 Ngakho uzakutsho phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uthi: ‘Ubaba wayeluzulani lomʼAramu, wehla waya eGibhithe elabantu abalutshwana bafika bahlala khona baze baba yisizwe esikhulu kakhulu, esilamandla njalo esilabantu abanengi kakhulu.
A e hai aku oe me ka olelo aku imua o Iehova kou Akua, He kanaka kuewa kou makuakane no Suria, a iho no ia i Aigupita, a noho mahihini malaila, he poe uuku, a lilo ia malaila i lahuikanaka nui, ikaika, a lehulehu.
6 Kodwa amaGibhithe asiphatha ngochuku, asihlupha, asisebenzisa nzima.
A hana ino mai ko Aigupita ia kakou, a hooluhi mai ia kakou, a haawi mai ia kakou i na hana kaumaha loa.
7 Ngakho sakhala kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho bethu, uThixo walizwa ilizwi lethu njalo wabona lokuhlupheka kwethu, ukutshikatshika kwethu kanye lokuncindezelwa kwethu.
A kahea aku kakou ia Iehova ke Akua o ko kakou mau kupuna, hoolohe mai no o Iehova i ko kakou leo, a nana mai ia i ko kakou luhi, a me ka kakou hana, a me ko kakou kaumaha.
8 Ngenxa yalokho uThixo wasikhupha elizweni laseGibhithe ngesandla esilamandla langengalo eyeluliweyo, ngezenzo ezesabekayo langezibonakaliso kanye lezimangaliso.
A lawe mai o Iehova ia kakou mai Aigupita mai me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kakauha, a me ka mea weliweli nui, a me na hoailona, a me na mea kupanaha.
9 Wasiletha kulindawo njalo wasinika lelilizwe, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju;
A ua lawe mai hoi oia ia kakou ma keia wahi, a ua haawi ia kakou i keia aina, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
10 khathesi sengiletha izithelo zakuqala zomhlabathi lowo, Oh Thixo, onginike wona.’ Uzabeka isitsha phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho umkhothamele.
Eia hoi, ua lawe mai nei au, e Iehova, i ka hua mua o ka aina au i haawi mai ai ia'u. A e waiho oe ia mea imua o Iehova kou Akua, a e hoomana aku imua o Iehova kou Akua.
11 Ngakho wena labaLevi kanye labezizweni abahlala phakathi kwenu lizathokoza ezintweni zonke ezinhle uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akunike zona wena kanye labendlu yakho.
A e olioli oe i na mea maikai a pau a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, a me ko ka hale ou, o oe, a me ka Levi, a me ka malihini iwaena ou.
12 Kuzakuthi lapho usuqedile ukwahlukanisa okwetshumi kwaso sonke isivuno sakho ngomnyaka wesithathu, okungumnyaka wokwetshumi, wena uzakunika umLevi, owezizweni, intandane kanye lomfelokazi, ukuze badle basuthe emadolobheni akho.
Aia hoopau oe i ka hookupu ana i ka hapaumi a pau o kau mea i loaa i ke kolu o ka makahiki, oia ka makahiki hookupu i ka hapaumi; a haawi aku i ka Levi a i ka malihini, a i ka mea makua ole, a me ka wahinekanemake, i ai iho ai lakou ma kou mau ipuka a maona;
13 Tshono futhi kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uthi: ‘Sengikhuphile isabelo esingcwele endlini yami ngasinika umLevi, owezizweni, intandane lomfelokazi, njengokulaya kwakho. Kangeqanga imilayo yakho kumbe ukukhohlwa eminye yayo.
Alaila e olelo aku oe imua o Iehova kou Akua, Ua lawe mai nei au i ka mea i hoolaaia mai ko'u hale mai, a ua haawi aku hoi i ka Levi, a i ka malihini, a i ka mea makua ole, a i ka wahinekanemake, e like me kau mau kauoha a pau au i kanoha mai ai ia'u; aole au i hoohala i kau mau kauoha, aole hoi au i hoopoina;
14 Angizange ngidle lutho lwesabelo esingcwele ngesikhathi sokulila, kumbe ukususa okunye kwakho ngesikhathi ngingongcolileyo, loba ukunikela ingxenye yakho kwabafileyo. Ngikulalele Thixo Nkulunkulu wami; ngenzile konke ongilaye khona.
Aole au i ai i kekahi o ia mea i kuu makena ana, aole au i lawe i kekahi o ia mea no ka mea haumia, aole hoi au i haawi i kekahi o ia mea no ka mea i make; ua hoolohe no au i ka leo o Iehova ko'u Akua, a ua hana au e like me na mea a pau au i kauoha mai ai ia'u.
15 Khangela phansi usezulwini, indawo yakho yokuhlala engcwele, ubusise abantu bakho bako-Israyeli kanye lelizwe osinike lona njengesithembiso owasenza ngesifungo kubokhokho bethu, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.’”
E nana mai oe mai kou wahi hoano, mai ka lani mai, a e hoomaikai mai i kou poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela, a me ka aina au i haawi mai ai no makou, e like me au i hoohiki ai i ko makou mau kupuna, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
16 “UThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uyakulaya lamuhla ukuba ulandele izimiso kanye lemithetho le; uyigcine ngonanzelelo olukhulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke kanye langomphefumulo wakho wonke.
I keia la, ua kauoha mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe e hana ma keia mau kanawai, a me ua olelo kupaa; e malama hoi oe a e hana ma ia mau mea me kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pau.
17 Lamuhla usuvume obala ukuthi uThixo unguNkulunkulu wakho lokuthi uzahamba ezindleleni zakhe, ukuthi uzagcina izimiso zakhe, imilayo, lemithetho yakhe, lokuthi uzamlalela.
I keia la ua hooia aku oe ia Iehova, i Akua nou, a e hele ma kona mau aoao, a e malama i kona mau kanawai, a i kana mau kauoha, a me kana mau olelo kupaa, a e hoolohe i kona leo.
18 Futhi uThixo ukuvumile lamuhla ukuthi lina lingabantu bakhe, liyisabelo sakhe esiligugu njengokuthembisa kwakhe njalo kumele ligcine yonke imilayo yakhe.
A ua hooia mai o Iehova ia oe i keia la, he poe kanaka ponoi nona, e like me kana i olelo mai ai ia oe, i malama ai oe i kana mau kauoha a pau:
19 Umemezele ukuthi uzaliphakamisa ngodumo, ngokwaziwa langenhlonipho phezu kwezizwe zonke azidalayo lokuthi lizakuba ngabantu abangcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njengokuthembisa kwakhe.”
A e hookiekie mai oia ia oe maluna o na lahuikanaka a pau ana i hana'i, ma ka hoolea ana, a ma ka inoa, a ma ka hoomaikai; a e lilo oe i poe kanaka hemolele no Iehova, e like me kana i olelo mai ai.
