UDutheronomi 8
1 “Nanzelelani njalo lilandele yonke imilayo engilinika yona lamuhla, ukuze liphile njalo lande khona lizangena lithumbe ilizwe uThixo alinika okhokho benu ethembisa ngesifungo.
“Ko e ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni ke mou tokanga ki ai ʻo fai, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui, pea tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
2 Likhumbule ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu walikhokhela njani lidabula inkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, elichumisa lokulilinga ukuthi abone okwakusezinhliziyweni zenu, ukuthi kambe lizayigcina imiyalo yakhe na loba hayi.
Pea te ke manatu ki he hala kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe tataki ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ni ʻi he toafa, ke fakaangavaivaiʻi koe, ke ʻahiʻahiʻi koe, pea ke ʻilo ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ho loto, pe te ke tauhi ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, pe ʻikai.
3 UThixo walichumisa, walenza lalamba kanti njalo walipha ukudla okuyimana, ukudla lokho laboyihlo abangazange bakwazi, kuyikulifundisa ukuthi umuntu kaphili ngesinkwa kuphela zwi kodwa ngalo lonke ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni kaThixo.
Pea naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi koe, ʻo ne tuku koe ke ke fiekaia, pea naʻa ne fafanga ʻaki koe ʻae mana, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai; koeʻuhi ke ne fakahā kiate koe ʻoku ʻikai moʻui ʻae tangata ʻi he mā pe, ka ʻoku moʻui ʻae tangata ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova.
4 Izigqoko zenu aziguganga njalo lezinyawo zenu azivuvukanga kuleyo minyaka engamatshumi amane.
Naʻe ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa ho ngaahi kofu, pea naʻe ʻikai fufula ho vaʻe, ʻi he taʻu ni ʻe fāngofulu.
5 Gcinani lokhu ezinhliziyweni zenu lazi ukuthi njengendoda ikhuza indodana yayo, ngokufananayo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyalikhuza.
Pea te ke tokanga mo ʻilo ʻi ho loto foki, ʻoku hangē ko e tautea ʻe he tangata hono foha, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae tautea koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
6 Gcinani imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lihambe endleleni yakhe njalo limkhonze.
Ko ia, ke ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ke manavahē kiate ia.
7 Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulisa elizweni elihle, ilizwe elilezifula leziziba zamanzi, intombo zamanzi ezimpompoza ezigodini lasemaqaqeni;
He ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ne ʻomi koe ki he fonua lelei, ko e fonua ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe, ʻoe ngaahi matavai mo e loloto ʻoku tupu mei he ngaahi luo mo e ngaahi moʻunga;
8 elizweni lengqoloyi lebhali, amavini lemikhiwa, amaphomegranathi, amafutha ama-oliva lenyosi;
Ko e fonua ʻoe uite mo e paʻale, mo e ngaahi vaine, mo e ʻakau ko e fiki, mo e pomikanite; ko e fonua ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive fai lolo, mo e honi;
9 elizweni lapha okungasayi kusweleka khona isinkwa njalo aliyikuswela lutho; elizweni lapho amatshe akhona ayinsimbi kanti njalo lingemba ikhopha emaqaqeni.
Ko e fonua ke ke kai mā taʻehahonge, ʻe ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi ai; ʻae fonua ʻoku maka ʻaki ʻae ʻaione, pea te ke keli mei hono ngaahi moʻunga ʻae palasa.
10 Lizakuthi selidlile lasutha, lidumise uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngelizwe elihle alinike lona.
ʻOka ke ka kai ʻo mākona, te ke toki fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko e fonua lelei ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate koe.
11 Linanzelele ukuthi alilibali uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lingehluleki ukugcina imilayo yakhe, imithetho kanye lezimiso engilinika zona lamuhla.
“Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakangaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he liʻaki ʻo ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni:
12 Kungenzeka ukuthi lithi selidlile lasutha, selakhe izindlu ezinhle lahlala lazinza,
Telia naʻa hili hoʻo kai ʻo mākona, pea kuo ke langa hao ngaahi fale lelei, ʻo nofo ai;
13 njalo imihlambi yezifuyo zenu leyezimvu zenu isiqhelile yanda kuze kuthi lesiliva legolide lenu selilinengi kanye lakho konke okwenu sekukunengi kuphindwe kanenginengi,
Pea kuo tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo fanga manu lalahi mo hoʻo fanga manu siʻi, pea kuo tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo siliva mo hoʻo koula, pea kuo tupu ʻo lahi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu;
14 liziqhenye ezinhliziyweni zenu, libe selikhohlwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, yena owalikhupha eGibhithe, walikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
Pea toki hiki hake ho loto, pea ke fakangalongaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula;
15 UThixo walikhokhela enkangala enkulu eyesabekayo, eyomileyo engelamanzi, elobuthi benyoka lenkume. Walinika amanzi aphuma edwaleni.
ʻAia naʻa ne tataki atu koe ʻi he fuʻu toafa lahi mo fakamanavahē ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ngata vela, mo e ngaahi sikopio, mo e laʻāina, pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai; ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi vai kiate koe mei he maka afi;
16 Walinika imana ukuba lidle enkangala, into abangazange bayazi oyihlo, ukulichumisa njalo lokulilinga ukuze kuthi ekucineni kulihambele kuhle.
ʻAia naʻa ne fafangaʻi koe ʻi he toafa ʻaki ʻae mana, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi ke ne fakavaivaiʻi koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ne ʻahiʻahiʻi koe, ke fai lelei kiate koe ʻi ho ikuʻanga:
17 Mhlawumbe lingathi, ‘Ngokuzimisela kwami langamandla ezandla zami sengizidalele inotho.’
Pea telia naʻa ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Ko hoku mālohi mo e mafai ʻo hoku nima kuo ne lavaʻi ʻae ngaahi koloa ni maʻaku.
18 Kodwa khumbulani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngoba kunguye olipha amandla okunotha, lokho kuyikho ukugcwaliseka kwesivumelwano sakhe, sona afunga kubokhokho benu, okulokhu kunjalo lalamuhla.
Ka ke manatu koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: he ko ia ia ʻoku ne foaki kiate koe ʻae mafai ke maʻu ʻae koloa, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamaʻu ʻene fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.
19 Nxa lizake likhohlwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu beselilandela abanye onkulunkulu libakhonze libakhothamele, ngiyalifungela lamuhla ukuthi lizabhujiswa ngempela.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau ʻoku ke fakangalongaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua
20 Njengezizwe uThixo azibhubhisa phambi kwenu lani lizabhujiswa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
Hangē ko e ngaahi kakai ʻoku fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei homou ʻao, ʻe pehē pe hoʻomou ʻauha; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻefietalangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
