UDutheronomi 7
1 “Lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu elingenisa elizweni alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu uxotsha izizwe ezinengi phambi kwenu, amaHithi, amaGigashi, ama-Amori, amaKhenani, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi, izizwe eziyisikhombisa ezinkulu njalo ezilamandla kulani,
A IA kai aku o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i ka aina au e hele aku nei e noho ilaila, a hookuke aku ia i na lahuikanaka, he nui mamua ou, i ka Heta, i ka Giregasa, me ka Amora, me ka Kanaana, me ka Periza, me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa, i ehiku lahuikanaka, ua oi aku ko lakou nui a me ko lakou ikaika i kou;
2 kuthi lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu esezinikele ezandleni zenu lani selizinqobile kufanele lizitshabalalise ngokupheleleyo. Lingabi lesivumelwano lazo, njalo lingabi lesihawu kuzo.
A hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou imua ou; alaila e pepehi aku oe ia lakou, a pau lakou i ka make; mai hookuikahi oe me lakou; a mai aloha aku ia lakou:
3 Lingendiselani lazo. Lingendiseli amadodakazi enu emadodaneni azo, kumbe lithathele amadodana enu amadodakazi azo,
Mai hoopalau hoi me lakou; mai haawi i kau kaikamahine na kana keikikane; mai lawe oe i kana kaikamahine na kau keikikane.
4 ngoba azaphambula amadodana enu ekungikhonzeni abesekhonza abanye onkulunkulu, kuthi ulaka lukaThixo luvuthe lulitshabalalise.
No ka mea, e hoohuli ae lakou i kau keiki, i ole ia e hahai mai ia'u, i malama aku lakou i na akua e: pela e hoaaia mai ai ka inaina o Iehova ia oukou, a e luku koke mai ia oe.
5 Nanku okumele likwenze kulezi zizwe: Dilizani ama-alithare azo, libhidlize amatshe eziwakhonzayo, ligamule izinsika zika-Ashera njalo litshise izithombe zazo ngomlilo.
Penei oukou hana aku ai ia lakou; e hoohiolo oukou i ko lakou mau kuahu, e wawahi iho i ko lakou poe kii, e kua ilalo i ko lakou mau kii o Asetarota, a e puhi aku i ko lakou mau kiikalaiia i ke ahi.
6 Phela lina lingabantu abangcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulikhethile phakathi kwabantu bonke emhlabeni ukuthi libe ngabantu bakhe, isipho sakhe esiligugu.
No ka mea, he poe kanaka laa oukou no Iehova kou Akua: na Iehova na kou Akua i wae mai ia oukou, i poe kanaka ponoi nona, mamua o na kanaka a pau maluna o ka honua.
7 UThixo kazange ehlisele uthando lwakhe phezu kwenu ngoba libanengi kulezinye izizwe, phela lina livele liyisizwe sabantu abalutshwana.
Aole o Iehova i aloha mai ia oukou, a i wae mai ia oukou, no ka oi o ko oukou nui i ko na kanaka e ae a pau; no ka mea, he poe uuku oukou i na kanaka a pau:
8 Kodwa kungenxa yokuthi uThixo walithanda wagcina isifungo asifunga kubokhokho benu walikhupha ngesandla esilamandla walihlenga ezweni lobugqili, emandleni kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe.
Aka, no ke aloha o Iehova ia oukou, a no kona malama i ka hoohiki ana i hoohiki ai i ko oukou poe kupuna; nolaila i kai mai nei o Iehova ia oukou me ka lima ikaika, a e hoopakele ia oukou mai ka hale hooluhi mai, mailoko mai o ka lima o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita.
9 Yazini-ke ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu unguNkulunkulu; unguNkulunkulu othembekileyo, ogcina isivumelwano sothando kuze kufike esizukulwaneni senkulungwane salabo abamthandayo njalo begcina imilayo yakhe.
E ike hoi oe, o Iehova kou Akua, oia no ke Akua, he Akua oiaio, e malama ana i ka berita, a i ke aloha no ka poe i aloha aku ia ia, a malama hoi i kana mau kauoha, a hiki i ke tausani o na hanauna:
10 Kodwa labo abamzondayo uzaphindisela kubo ngokubabhubhisa; kayikuphuza ukuphindisela kulabo abamzondayo.
A e hoopai koke ana hoi i ka poe inaina ia ia, e luku ia lakou, aole ia e lohi i ka mea inaina ia ia, e hoopai koke ana no ia ia.
11 Kungakho, nanzelelani lilandele imilayo, izimiso kanye lemithetho engilinika yona lamuhla.
Nolaila, e malama oe i na kauoha a me na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, a e hana hoi ia mea.
12 Nxa linanzelela limithetho njalo liyilandela, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzagcina isivumelwano sakhe sothando kini, njengoba wafunga kubokhokho benu.
No ia hoi, ina e hoolohe oukou i keia mau olelo kupaa, a e malama, a e hana hoi ia mau mea, alaila e malama mai o Iehova kou Akua i ka berita a me ke aloha nou, ana i hoohiki ai i kou poe kupuna.
13 Uzalithanda alibusise andise ubunengi benu. Uzabusisa izithelo zenzalo yezisu zenu, izilimo zamasimu enu, amabele enu, iwayini elitsha kanye lamafutha, amathole emihlambi yenkomo zenu kanye lamazinyane emihlambi yezimvu zenu elizweni afunga ukuthi uzalinika okhokho benu ukuba balinike lona.
A e aloha mai ia ia oe a e hoopomaikai mai ia oe, a e hoomahuahua mai ia oe: e hoopomaikai mai hoi ia i ka hua o kou opu, a me ka hua o kou aina, i kau palaoa a me kou waina, a me kou aila, a me ka hanau ana o kou poe bipi, a me kau poe hipa, ma ka aina ana i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna e haawi mai ia oe.
14 Lina lizabusiswa okungaphezu kwabanye abantu; kakho phakathi kwamadoda labafazi kini ozaswela umntwana, njalo lezifuyo zenu ngeke ziswele amankonyane.
E oi aku kou hoopomaikaiia mamua o ko ua kanaka a pau: aole he kane keiki ole, aole he wahine pa iwaena o oukou, aole hoi iwaena o na holoholona a oukou.
15 UThixo uzaliphephisa emikhuhlaneni yonke. Kayikulehlisela imikhuhlane yonke eyesabekayo elaliyibona eGibhithe, kodwa uzayehlisela kulabo abalizondayo.
A e lawe aku o Iehova i na mai a pau mai ou aku nei, aole hoi ia e kau i kekahi mai ahulau o Aigupita maluna iho ou, au i ike ai; aka, e kau aku kela ia mea maluna iho o ka poe a pau e inaina mai ia oe.
16 Libobhubhisa bonke abantu uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu abanikela ezandleni zenu. Lingabazweli usizi, lingakhonzi onkulunkulu babo, ngoba lokho kuzakuba yisifu kini.
A e hoopau aku oe i na kanaka a pau a Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai nou; mai minamina aku kou maka ia lakou, mai malama hoi oe i ko lakou mau akua; no ka mea, e lilo ia i mea hihia nou.
17 Mhlawumbe lizakuthi: ‘Lezizizwe zilamandla kulathi. Sizazixotsha njani lapha?’
Ina paha e i iho oe maloko o kou naau, Ua oi aku ka nui o keia mau lahuikanaka i ko'u; pehea la e hiki ia'u ke kipaku aku ia lakou?
18 Kodwa lingazesabi; khumbulani ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wenzani kuFaro kanye lakulo lonke elaseGibhithe.
Mai makau oe ia lakou; e hoomanao pono oe i ka mea a Iehova kou Akua i hana'i ia Parao, a me ko Aigupita a pau:
19 Lazibonela ngawenu amehlo imilingo emikhulu, izibonakaliso zemilingo lezimanga, isandla esilamandla lokwelulwa kwengalo, khona okwasetshenziswa nguThixo wenu ukulikhupha. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzakuphinda khonokho kubo laba abantu elibesabayo.
I na hoao nui a kou maka i ike ai, a me na hoailona, a me na mea kupanaha, a me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kakauha a Iehova kou Akua i lawe mai nei ia oe; pela no o Iehova kou Akua e hana aku ai i na kanaka a pau au e makau nei.
20 Phezu kwalokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzathumela olonyovu phakathi kwabo kuze kuthi labasilileyo balicatshela babhujiswe.
A e hoouna aku hoi o Iehova kou Akua i ka nalohopeeha iwaena o lakou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia, ka poe i waihoia, a me ka poe i pee mai ou aku la.
21 Lingabesabi, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ophakathi kwenu, nguThixo omkhulu njalo owesabekayo.
Mai makau oe ia lakou; no ka mea, iwaena ou o Iehova kou Akua, he Akua nui, hooweliweli.
22 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzazidudula lezozizwe phambi kwenu kancanekancane. Aliyikuvunyelwa ukuzibhubhisa ngasikhathi sinye ngoba izinyamazana zeganga zinganda zilihanqe.
A e kipaku liilii aku o Iehova kou Akua i kela mau luhuikanaka mamua ou: mai luku koke aku ia lakou a pau, o nui mai auanei na holoholona e alo mai ia oe.
23 Kodwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzabanikela kini, abaphazamise baze babhujiswe.
A o Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai ia lakou imua ou, a e luku aku ia lakou me ka luku nui, a pau lakou i ka make.
24 Amakhosi azo uzawanikela ezandleni zenu, njalo lizakwesula amabizo awo ngaphansi komkhathi. Kakho ozakwenelisa ukumelana lani, lizababhubhisa.
A e hoolilo mai ia i ko lakou mau alii iloko o kou lima, a e hokai oe i ko lakou inoa malalo iho o ka lani; aole e hiki i kekahi kanaka ke ku imua ou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia e oe.
25 Izithombe zabonkulunkulu bazo lizazitshisa ngomlilo. Lingahawukeli isiliva legolide eliphezu kwezithombe, lingazigcineli lona, ngoba lizabe selizibambisile emjibileni ngalo, ngoba liyisinengiso kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
O na kii o ko lakou mau akua e puhi oukou i ke ahi; mai kuko aku oe i ke kala a i ke gula maluna o ia mea, aole hoi e lawe ia mea nau, o hihia auanei oe ilaila; no ka mea, he mea hoowahawahaia e Iehova kou Akua.
26 Lingalethi okunengisayo ezindlini zenu, ngoba lani njengakho lokho lizakhethelwa ukubhujiswa. Kwenyanyeni linengeke ngakho, ngoba kumiselwe ukutshabalaliswa.”
Aole hoi e lawe oe maloko o kou hale i ka mea hoowahawahaia, o lilo auanei oe i mea laa e like me ia; e hoowahawaha loa aku oe ia mea, a e hoopailua loa aku oe ia mea; no ka mea, he mea laa ia.
