UDutheronomi 32
1 “Lalelani, we mazulu, ngizakhuluma, zwana, we mhlaba, amazwi omlomo wami.
“ʻAe ngaahi langi, mou tokanga, pea te u lea; pea ke fanongo, ʻE māmani, ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.
2 Akuthi imfundiso yami inethe njengezulu kuthi amazwi ami ehle njengamazolo, njengemifefezo etshanini obutsha, njengezulu elinengi phezu kwamahlumela.
ʻE tō ʻeku akonaki ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha, ʻe ʻalu hifo ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻo hangē ko e hahau, ʻo hangē ko e taumosi ki he ʻakau vaivai, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha tuʻu mo tō ki he mohuku:
3 Ngizaliphakamisa ibizo likaThixo. Yebo dumisani ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu wethu!
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fakaongo atu ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova: mou tuku ʻae māfimafi ki hotau ʻOtua.
4 UliDwala, imisebenzi yakhe iphelele, njalo zonke izindlela zakhe zilungile. UNkulunkulu othembekileyo ongenzi okubi, uqotho njalo ulungile yena.
“Ko ia ko e Maka! ʻOku haohaoa ʻa ʻene ngāue: he ko ʻene ʻulungāanga kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu: ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni, mo taʻehalaia, ʻoku angatonu mo māʻoniʻoni ia.
5 Sebenze okubi phambi kwakhe; balihlazo kabase bantwabakhe, kodwa isizukulwane esixhwalileyo lesingaqondanga.
Kuo nau fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu, ko honau ʻila ʻoku ʻikai ko e fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻene fānau: ko e toʻutangata mioʻi mo pikopiko ʻakinautolu.
6 Yiyonale na indlela yokubonga kwenu uThixo, lina ziwula zabantu abangelakuhlakanipha? KasuYihlo, uMdali wenu, owalenzayo njalo owalibumbayo na?
He ʻoku pehē hoʻomou totongi kia Sihova, ʻae kakai vale mo taʻepoto? ʻIkai ko hoʻo tamai ia naʻa ne fakatau koe? ʻIkai naʻa ne ngaohi koe, mo fokotuʻumaʻu koe?
7 Khumbulani insuku zakudala; likhumbule izizukulwane zasendulo. Buza uyihlo yena uzakutshela, abadala benu, njalo bazakuchasisela.
“Manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, tokanga ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoe toʻutangata lahi: fehuʻi ki hoʻo tamai, pea te ne fakahā ia kiate koe; ki hoʻo kau mātuʻa, pea tenau tala kiate koe.
8 Kwathi oPhezukonke esephe izizwe ilifa lazo, eselwahlukanisile uluntu, walufakela imingcele, kusiya ngenani lamadodana ka-Israyeli.
ʻI he vahe atu ʻe he Fungani Māʻolunga ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻa honau tofiʻa, ʻi heʻene fakamovetevete ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAtaina, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae fakangataʻanga ki he kakai ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
9 Ngoba isabelo sikaThixo ngabantu bakhe, uJakhobe yisabelo sakhe esikhethiweyo.
He ko e tofiʻa ʻo Sihova ʻa hono kakai ko e afo ʻo hono tofiʻa ʻa Sēkope.
10 Wamfica elizweni eliyinkangala, indawo engatheli lutho njalo elodlame. Wamvikela, wamonga; wamsingatha njengegugu lakhe,
“Naʻa ne ʻilo ia ʻi he fonua lala, pea ʻi he toafa liʻaki mo ngungulu; naʻa ne tataki fano ia, ʻo ne akonakiʻi ia, naʻa ne tauhi ia ʻo hangē ko e tama ʻo hono mata.
11 njengokhozi lunyakazisa isidleke salo, beselundiza phezu kwamachwane alo, lwelule amaphiko alo ukuwagola, luwathwale ngamaphiko alo.
Hangē ko e ueʻi ʻe he ʻikale hono pununga, ʻo ʻōʻōfaki ki hono ʻuhiki, ʻo mafola atu hono kapakau, ʻo ne toʻo hake ʻakinautolu, ʻo fua ʻakinautolu ʻi hono kapakau:
12 Nguye yedwa uThixo owamkhokhelayo; kungekho unkulunkulu wezizweni owayelaye.
“Naʻe pehē hono tataki ia tokotaha pe ʻe Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻotua kehe mo ia.
13 Wamkhweza engqongeni yelizwe wamondla ngezithelo zeganga. Wamondla ngoluju olwaluvela edwaleni, langamafutha aphuma ezingoxweni zeliwa,
Naʻa ne fakaheka ia ke heka ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani, koeʻuhi ke ne kai ʻae tupu ʻoe ngoue; pea naʻa ne ngaohi ia ke ne mimisi ʻae hone mei he maka, mo e lolo mei he makaafi;
14 lezankefu langochago oluvela emihlambini yenkomo leyezimvu; lamazinyane anonisiweyo ezimvu lembuzi, lenqama zekhethelo zaseBhashani, kanye lengqoloyi elezinhlamvu ezinhle. Wanatha igazi eliphuphumayo lesithelo samavini.
Ko e pota mei he fanga pulu fefine, mo e huʻahuhu ʻoe sipi, mo e ngako ʻoe fanga lami, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻi he faʻahinga mei Pesani, mo e fanga kosi mo hono ngako ʻoe ngaahi tengaʻi uite; pea naʻa ke inu ʻae toto totonu ʻoe kālepi.
15 UJeshuruni wazimuka watshakala; esesuthi ukudla, wakhuluphala waba butshelezi. Wamlahla uNkulunkulu owamdalayo waliphika iDwala uMsindisi wakhe.
“Ka naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo sino ʻa Sesuluni, pea ʻakafisi: kuo ke hoko ʻo sino, kuo ke hoko ʻo matolu, kuo ʻufiʻufi koe [ʻe he sino]; pea naʻa ne toki liʻaki ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ia, pea naʻa ne taʻefakaʻapaʻapa ki he Maka ʻo hono fakamoʻui.
16 Bambangela ubukhwele ngabonkulunkulu babo bezizweni bamthukuthelisa ngezithombe zabo ezinengekayo.
Naʻa nau langaʻi ʻaki hono fuaʻa ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, naʻa nau fakatupu hono houhau ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi angakovi.
17 Benza imihlatshelo kuwo amadimoni, wona angasiNkulunkulu, onkulunkulu ababengazange babazi, onkulunkulu ababesanda kuvela, onkulunkulu ababengakhonzwa ngoyihlo.
Naʻa nau feilaulau ki he ngaahi tēvolo, kae ʻikai ki he ʻOtua; ki he ngaahi ʻotua naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo, ko e foʻou naʻe toki tupu foʻou hake, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai manavahē hoʻomou tamai ki ai.
18 Walihlamukela iDwala, elinguyihlo; wakhohlwa uNkulunkulu owakuzalayo.
ʻOku ke taʻetokanga ki he Maka naʻa ke tupu ai, pea kuo ke fakangaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ne fakafuofua koe.
19 UThixo wakubona lokhu wabafulathela ngoba wathukutheliswa ngamadodana lamadodakazi akhe.
“Pea ʻi he ʻafio ʻa Sihova, naʻa ne fehiʻa [kiate kinautolu], ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatupu ʻene houhau ʻe hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine.
20 ‘Ngizabufihla ubuso bami kubo,’ watsho uThixo, ‘ngize ngibone ukuthi bazaphetha ngani; ngoba bayisizukulwana esixhwalileyo abantwana abangathembekanga.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Te u fufū hoku fofonga meiate kinautolu, te u vakai, pe ko e hā honau ngataʻanga: he ko e toʻutangata angatuʻu ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tui.
21 Bangenza ngaba lobukhwele ngalokho okwakungasinkulunkulu njalo bangithukuthelisa ngezithombe zabo ezingasizi lutho. Ngizabavusela umhawu ngesizwe esingesibantu balutho; ngibazondise ngesizwe esingazwisisiyo.
Kuo nau langaʻi ʻaki ʻeku fuaʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻotua; kuo nau fakatupu ʻaki ʻeku houhau ʻenau ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga: pea te u ueʻi ʻaki ʻenau fuaʻa ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko e kakai; te u fakatupu ʻenau ʻita ʻaki ʻae kakai vale.
22 Ngoba umlilo usulunyathiswe yikuthukuthela kwami, wona otshisa ujule uze uyethinta ukufa ngaphansi. Uzahangula udle umhlaba kanye lesivuno sawo uthungele lezinsika zezintaba. (Sheol h7585)
He kuo tutu ʻae afi ʻi heʻeku houhau, pea ʻe vela ia ʻo aʻu ki loto heli, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻa māmani mo hono tupu, pea ʻe tutu ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga. (Sheol h7585)
23 Ngizabehlisela izigigaba, imitshoko yami iphelele phezu kwabo.
“‘Te u fokotuʻutuʻu ʻae ngaahi kovi kiate kinautolu; te u fakaʻosi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi ngahau kiate kinautolu.
24 Ngizabathumela inkengane eqeda amandla, izifo ezibhubhisayo lomkhuhlane otshabalalisayo; ngizabathumela amazinyo abukhali ezinyamazana zeganga, ubuthi bezinhlangwana ezihuquzelayo emhlabathini.
ʻE vela ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae honge, pea ʻe fakaʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae malalaʻi afi, pea ʻi he fakaʻauha fakamamahi: te u fekau ʻae kau nifo, ʻoe fanga manu kaivao kiate kinautolu, mo e kona ʻoe fanga ngata ʻoe efu.
25 Ezindleleni inkemba izabaswelisa abantwana, emizini kuzabusa uchuku. Amadodana lamadodakazi azabhujiswa aphele, abantwana abancinyane kanye lamadoda alenwele ezimhlophe.
ʻE fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻituʻa, mo e ilifia ʻi loto, ʻae talavou mo e tāupoʻou fakatouʻosi, ʻae tama huhu foki mo e tangata ʻuluhinā.
26 Ngithe ngizabachitha ngisuse imbali yabo bakhohlakale emhlabeni,
Ne u pehē, Te u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi tuliki, te u fakaʻosi ʻae fakamanatu kiate kinautolu mei he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai:
27 kodwa ngesaba ukweyisa kwesitha, funa isitha singezwisisi besesisithi, “Isandla sethu sinqobile, njalo uThixo kakwenzanga konke lokhu.”’
Ka ne taʻeʻoua ʻeku manavahē ki he ʻita ʻae fili, telia naʻa fai fakafielahi ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea telia naʻa nau lea ʻo pehē, Ko hotau nima māʻolunga, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko Sihova kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē.’
28 Bayisizwe esingelangqondo, akukho ukuqedisisa kubo.
He ko e puleʻanga masiva fakakaukau poto ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha loto faʻa ʻilo foki ʻiate kinautolu.
29 Ngabe kodwa bahlakaniphile njalo bezwisise lokhu, babe lokuqedisisa ukuthi sizakuba yini isiphetho sabo!
Taumaiā kuo nau poto, koeʻuhi kenau ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni, koeʻuhi kenau tokanga ki honau ikuʻanga!
30 Kungenzeka njani ukuthi umuntu oyedwa axotshane lenkulungwane, loba ababili basukele izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zibaleke na, ngaphandle kokuthi iDwala labo nxa labathengisa; langaphandle kokuthi uThixo wabo esebahlanekele?
He ʻe fēfeeʻi ha tulia ʻe he tokotaha ʻae toko afe, pea ʻe he toko ua ʻae toko mano, ʻo ka ne ʻikai fakatau ʻakinautolu ʻe honau Maka, pea tāpuni ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova?
31 Ngoba elabo idwala alinjengelethu iDwala, njengoba lezitha zethu zivuma.
He ko honau maka ʻoku ʻikai hangē ko hotau Maka, ʻio, naʻa mo hotau ngaahi fili, ʻoku nau fakamoʻoni ki ai.
32 Iwayini labo livela esivinini saseSodoma lasemasimini aseGomora. Amagrebisi abo agcwele itshefu, lamaxha awo amunyu.
He ko ʻenau vaine ʻoku mei he vaine ʻo Sotoma, pea ʻoku mei he ngoue ʻo Komola: ko honau ngaahi kālepi, ko e kālepi ʻoe ʻahu, ʻoku kona honau ngaahi fuhi:
33 Iwayini labo liyibuthi bezinyoka, ubuhlungu obubulalayo bezinhlangwana.
Ko ʻenau uaine ko e kona ʻoe fanga ngata lalahi, mo e kona mālohi ʻoe fanga ngata kovi ʻaupito.
34 ‘Kambe lokhu angikugodlanga na ngakugcikela eziphaleni zami na?
ʻIkai kuo fokotuʻu ʻae meʻa ni ʻiate au ʻo talifaki pe, pea pulusi maʻu ia fakataha mo ʻeku ngaahi koloa?
35 Ukuphindisela ngokwami; ngizabuyisela. Ngesikhathi esifaneleyo unyawo lwabo luzatshelela; usuku lwabo lokubhujiswa luseduze, ukuchitheka kwabo kubalanda ngesiqubu.’
ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae tautea mo e totongi; ʻe hekea honau vaʻe ʻi hono kuonga: he ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻe tō kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻo.
36 UThixo uzakwahlulela abantu bakhe, abe lozwelo ezincekwini zakhe lapho esebona amandla abo ephela njalo kakho ozasala, isigqili loba okhululekileyo.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai, pea ʻe lolou ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi heʻene ʻafioʻi kuo ʻosi honau mālohi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi kuo tāpuni, pe toe.
37 Uzakuthi: ‘Kanti bangaphi onkulunkulu babo, lelodwala ababephephela kulo,
Pea ʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Kofaʻā koā honau ngaahi ʻotua, ko honau maka naʻa nau falala ki ai,
38 onkulunkulu abadla amafutha emihlatshelo yabo njalo banatha iwayini elingumnikelo wokunathwayo kwabo? Kabaphakame balincedise! Kabaliphe umthunzi wokuphephela!
ʻAia naʻe kai ʻae ngako ʻo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau, pea inu ʻae uaine ʻo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu? Tuku kenau tuʻu hake ʻo tokoni ʻakimoutolu, pea hoko ko homou kalofanga!
39 Angithi liyazibonela ukuthi Mina ngiNguye! Kakho omunye unkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Ngiyabhubhisa njalo ngiyaphilisa. Ngilimazile njalo ngizelapha, kakho ongaphunyuka esandleni sami.
“‘Mou vakai ni Ko Au, ʻio Ko Au ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻotua mo Au: ʻoku ou tāmateʻi, pea ʻoku ou fakamoʻui; ʻoku ou taaʻi, pea ʻoku ou fakamoʻui: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa fakamoʻui mei hoku nima.
40 Ngiphakamisela isandla sami ezulwini ngithi: Njengoba ngeqiniso ngiphila nini lanini,
He ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku nima ki langi, pea u pehē, ‘ʻOku ou moʻui ʻo taʻengata.’
41 nxa ngilola inkemba yami ephazimayo lesandla sami siyibamba ekwehluleleni, ngizaphindisela kuzozonke izitha zami, ngiphindisele kulabo abangizondayo.
Kapau te u fakamāsila ʻa ʻeku heletā ngingila, pea puke ʻe hoku nima ʻae fakamaau; te u ʻatu ʻae tautea ki hoku ngaahi fili, pea te u totongi kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
42 Imitshoko yami izagava igazi, kanti inkemba izakudla enyameni: igazi lalabo ababulawayo labathunjwayo, amakhanda alabo abangabakhokheli bezitha.’
Te u fakakona ʻeku ngaahi ngahau ʻaki ʻae toto, pea ʻe kai kakano ʻe heʻeku heletā; ʻi he toto ʻoe kakai kuo tāmateʻi, pea ʻi he kau pōpula, mei he kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tautea ki he fili.
43 Jabulani, lina zizwe, kanye labantu bakhe, ngoba uzaphindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe, uzaphindisela ezitheni zakhe, njalo enzele ilizwe lakhe labantu bakhe indlela yokubuyisana.”
ʻAe ngaahi puleʻanga, mou fiefia mo hono kakai: koeʻuhi ʻe totongi ʻe ia ʻae toto ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te ne ʻatu, ʻae totongi ki hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻe fai ʻaloʻofa ia ki hono fonua, pea mo hono kakai.’”
44 UMosi weza loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wethula wonke amazwi engoma le abantu bonke besizwa.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne lea ʻaki kotoa pē ʻae hiva ni ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai, ʻaia mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni.
45 UMosi wathi eqeda ukuwethula lamazwi phambi kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli,
Pea naʻe fakaʻosi ʻe Mōsese ʻae lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē:
46 wathi kubo, “Alondolozeni ezinhliziyweni zenu wonke lamazwi engiwethule phambi kwenu ngesifungo lamuhla, ukuze libe lakho ukubalaya abantwabenu ukuba bawalalele ngonanzelelo amazwi alo umthetho.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Fakatokangaʻi homou loto ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fakapapau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻaia te mou fekau ki hoʻomou fānau kotoa pē ke tokanga pea fai ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni.
47 Akusimazwi alula nje kini, ayikuphila kwenu. Ngala amazwi lizaphila isikhathi eside elizweni eselingena kulo lichapha uJodani ukuba lilithathe libe ngelenu.”
He ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa vaʻinga ia kiate kimoutolu; ka ko hoʻomou moʻui ia: pea ko e meʻa eni te mou fakatolonga ai homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ki he tuʻa Sioatani ke maʻu ia.”
48 Ngalolosuku uThixo watshela uMosi wathi,
Pea naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻo pehē,
49 “Khwela uye okhahlamba lwezintaba zase-Abharimi eNtabeni yaseNebho kwelamaMowabi, ngaphetsheya kweJerikho, ukuze ubone iKhenani, ilizwe engilinika abako-Israyeli ukuba balithathe libe ngelabo.
“Ke ke ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ni ko ʻApalimi, ki he moʻunga ko Nipo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Moape, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu atu ki Seliko; pea vakai ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa:
50 Phezu kwaleyontaba okhwele phezu kwayo uzakufa umbelwe uye kubokhokho bakho njengoba u-Aroni laye wafela entabeni yaseHori wembelwa kwabakibo.
Pea ke mate ʻi he moʻunga ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu hake ki ai, pea fakataha koe mo ho kakai; ʻo hangē ko e mate ʻa ho taʻokete, ko ʻElone ʻi he moʻunga ko Hoa, mo e tānaki ia ki hono kakai:
51 Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi lina lobabili lalahla ithemba lenu kimi phambi kwabako-Israyeli emachibini aseMeribha Khadeshi, eNkangala yaseZini langenxa yokuthi alizange lime ngobungcwele bami phambi kwabako-Israyeli.
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomo fai hala kiate au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he vai ʻi Melipa Ketesi, ʻi he toafa ʻo Sini; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomo taʻefakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
52 Ngenxa yalokho, ilizwe uzalibonela kude, awusoze ungene elizweni esengilinika abako-Israyeli ukuba bangene kulo.”
Te ke mamata ki he fonua ʻi ho ʻao; ka ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu ki ai ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
