UmTshumayeli 11
1 Phosela isinkwa sakho phezu kwamanzi, ngoba ngemva kwensuku ezinengi uzasifumana futhi.
Lii atu hoʻo mā ki he fukahi vai: he ka hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi te ke toe ʻilo ia.
2 Yabela abayisikhombisa, yebo abayisificaminwembili, ngoba kawuwazi umonakalo ongehlela elizweni.
Tufa ʻae ʻinasi ki he toko fitu, pea ki he toko valu foki; he ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae kovi ʻe hoko ki he māmani.
3 Nxa amayezi ethwele, anisa izulu emhlabathini. Aluba isihlahla singawela eningizimu loba enhla, silala khonapho esiwele khona.
ʻOka pito ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi he ʻuha, ʻoku fakamaha ia ki he kelekele: pea kapau ʻe hinga ha ʻakau ki he feituʻu tonga pe ki he tokelau, ko e potu ʻoku hinga ki ai ʻae ʻakau, ʻe ʻi ai pe ia.
4 Lowo onanzelela umoya kayikuhlanyela; lowo okhangela amayezi akazukuvuna.
Ko ia ʻoku faʻa sio ki he matangi ʻe ʻikai te ne tūtuuʻi; pea ko ia ʻoku faʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi ʻao ʻe ʻikai te ne utu mai.
5 Njengoba ungayazi indlela yomoya, loba ukubunjwa komzimba esiswini sikanina, yikho ungeke uzwisise umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, uMenzi wezinto zonke.
ʻO hangē ko hoʻo taʻeʻilo ki he anga ʻoe laumālie, mo e tupu ʻoe hui ʻi he manāva ʻoʻona ʻoku feitama: ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
6 Hlanyela inhlanyelo yakho ekuseni, kuthi ntambama uphumuze izandla zakho, ngoba kawukwazi okuzaphumelela, kumbe yilokhu loba yilokhuyana, langabe kokubili kuzalunga ngokufananayo.
Tūtuuʻi hoʻo tenga ʻi he pongipongi, pea ʻi he efiafi ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ho nima: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ko e fē ʻe tupu lelei, ʻa eni pe ko ʻena, pe te na lelei fakatouʻosi pe.
7 Ukukhanya kumnandi, njalo kuhle emehlweni ukubona ilanga.
Ko e moʻoni, ko e meʻa lelei fau ʻae maama, pea ko e meʻa fakafiefia ke sio ʻae mata ki he laʻā:
8 Umuntu angaze aphile iminyaka emingaki, kayikholise yonke. Kodwa makakhumbule insuku zobumnyama, ngoba zizabe zizinengi. Konke okuzakuza kuyize.
Ka ko eni, kapau ʻe moʻui ha tangata ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi, ʻo ne fiefia ʻi ai kotoa pē; ka ʻoku lelei ke ne manatu foki ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe fakapoʻuli; koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ia. Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku hoko mai ko e vaʻinga ia.
9 Jabula nsizwa usesemutsha, uvumele inhliziyo yakho ikuthokozise ensukwini zobutsha bakho. Landela izindlela zenhliziyo yakho lakho konke amehlo akho akubonayo, kodwa yazi ukuthi ngenxa yazo zonke lezizinto uNkulunkulu uzakumisa ekwahlulelweni.
ʻE tangata talavou, ke ke fiefia ʻi hoʻo kei talavou, pea ke fakafiefiaʻi ho loto ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei talavou, pea ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi he anga ʻo ho loto, pea ʻi he holi ʻa ho mata ʻoʻou: ka ke ʻilo, ko e ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻe ʻomi ai koe ʻe he ʻOtua ki he fakamaau.
10 Ngakho-ke, susa ukukhathazeka enhliziyweni yakho ulahlele kude inhlupheko zomzimba wakho, ngoba ubutsha lamadlabuzane kuyize.
Ko ia ke ke hiki ai ʻae ʻita mei ho loto, mo e fai kovi mei ho kakano: he ko e kei tamasiʻi mo e kei talavou ko e vaʻinga ia.
