1 “Vuka, khazimula, ngoba ukukhanya kwakho sekufikile, lenkazimulo kaThixo iyavela phezu kwakho.
“Tuʻu hake, pea ulo; he kuo hoko mai hoʻo maama, pea kuo hā hake ʻiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova,
2 Khangela, umnyama wembese umhlaba, umnyama omkhulu usibekele abantu. Kodwa uThixo uyakhanya phezu kwakho lenkazimulo yakhe iyabonakala phezu kwakho.
He vakai, ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻe he poʻuli ʻa māmani, mo e poʻuli matolu ʻae kakai: ka e hopo hake ʻa Sihova kiate koe, pea ʻe hā hono nāunau ʻiate koe.
3 Izizwe zizakuza ekukhanyeni kwakho, lamakhosi alande ukuqhama kokusa kwakho.
Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Senitaile ki hoʻo maama, mo e ngaahi tuʻi ki he maama lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻalu hake.
4 Phakamisa amehlo akho ukhangele amacele akho wonke: bonke babuthana beze kuwe; amadodana akho avela khatshana, lamadodakazi akho athwelwe ngengalo.
“Hiki hake ho mata ʻo sio takatakai, pea mamata: ʻoku nau tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku nau haʻu kiate koe: ʻe haʻu ho ngaahi foha mei he mamaʻo, pea ʻe faʻaki ki ho vakavaka ho ngaahi ʻofefine.
5 Ngakho uzakhangela ubobotheke ngokujabula, inhliziyo yakho izatshaya ikhukhumale ngenxa yentokozo; inotho yasolwandle izalethwa kuwe, lenotho yezizwe izakuza kuwe.
Pea te ke toki mamata, pea tānaki fakataha, pea ʻe manavahē ho loto, pea ʻe fakalahi ia; koeʻuhi ʻe fakatafoki kiate koe ʻae koloa ʻoe tahi, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae koloa ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile.
6 Imihlambi yamakamela izagcwala elizweni lakho, amakamela asakhulayo aseMidiyani lase-Efa. Wonke avela eShebha azakuza ethwele igolide lempepha ememezela udumo lukaThixo.
‌ʻE ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae fanga kāmeli lahi, ko e fanga kāmeli ʻo Mitiani mo ʻEfaa; ʻakinautolu kotoa pē mei Sipa te nau haʻu: te nau ʻomi ʻae koula mo e meʻa namu kakala; pea te nau fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo Sihova.
7 Yonke imihlambi yaseKhedari izabuthelwa kuwe; inqama zaseNebhayothi zizakusiza; zizakwamukeleka njengeminikelo e-alithareni lami, njalo ngizahlobisa ithempeli lami elilodumo.
‌ʻE tānaki kiate koe ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo Keta, ʻae fanga sipitangata ʻo Nepeoti te nau tokoni kiate koe: te u fiemālie ʻi he ʻohake ia ki hoku feilaulauʻanga, pea te u fakaongoongolelei ʻae fale ʻo hoku nāunau.
8 Ngobani laba abandiza njengamayezi lanjengamajuba esiya ezidlekeni zawo na?
“Ko hai ʻakinautolu na ʻoku puna ʻo hangē ha ʻao, pea hangē ko e fanga kulukulu ki honau ngaahi matapā?
9 Ngeqiniso izihlenge zithembe mina; ekhokheleyo yimikhumbi yaseThashishi, iletha amadodana akho avela khatshana, lesiliva sawo kanye legolide ukuba kudunyiswe uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, ngoba ukunike inkazimulo.
Ko e moʻoni ʻe tatali kiate koe ʻae ʻotu motu, pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻo Tasisi, ke ʻomi ho ngaahi foha mei he mamaʻo, ʻa ʻenau siliva mo ʻenau koula fakataha mo kinautolu, ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi kuo ne fakaongoongoleleiʻi koe.
10 Abezizwe bazayakha futhi imiduli yakho, lamakhosi abo azakukhonza. Lanxa ekuthukutheleni kwami ngakutshaya, kodwa ngomusa wami ngizakuba lesihawu kuwe.
“Pea ʻe toe langa ho ʻa ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe muli, pea ʻe tauhi kiate koe honau ngaahi tuʻi: he naʻaku taaʻi koe ʻi hoku houhau, ka ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kuo u ʻaloʻofa kiate koe.
11 Amasango akho azahlala evulekile; kawayikuvalwa emini loba ebusuku ukuze abantu bakulethele inotho yezizwe, amakhosi azo ekhokhelwe ludwendwe lokunqoba.
Ko ia ʻe ava maʻuaipē ho ngaahi matapā; ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ia ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō; koeʻuhi ke ʻomi kiate koe ʻae koloa ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ke ʻomi mo honau ngaahi tuʻi.
12 Ngoba isizwe kumbe umbuso ongayikukukhonza uzatshabalala; uzachitheka uphele nya.
He ko e kakai mo e puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai tauhi kiate koe ʻe ʻauha ia; ʻio, ʻe lala ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia.
13 Udumo lwaseLebhanoni luzakuza kuwe; zonke izihlahla ezamaphayini, umfiri lomsiphresi, ukuzehlobisa indlu yami engcwele; lendawo yezinyawo zami ngizayenza ikhazimule.
“ʻE ʻomi kiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻo Lepanoni, ʻae ʻakau ko e fea, mo e ʻakau ko e paini, fakataha mo e pokesi, ke teuteu ʻaki ʻae potu ʻo hoku fale tapu; pea te u ngaohi ʻae potu ʻo hoku tuʻunga vaʻe ke nāunauʻia.
14 Amadodana abancindezeli bakho azakuza akhothame phambi kwakho; bonke abakweyisayo bazakhothamela phansi ezinyaweni zakho, njalo bazakubiza ngokuthi iDolobho likaThixo, iZiyoni yakhe oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻokinautolu naʻe fakamamahiʻi koe, te nau haʻu ʻo hū kiate koe; pea ko kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate koe te nau punou ʻakinautolu ki ho ʻaofivaʻe; pea te nau ui koe, Ko e kolo ʻa Sihova, Ko e Saione ʻoe tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
15 Lanxa ubulahliwe, uzondakala, kungekho ohamba edabula phakathi kwakho, ngizakwenza ube ligugu elingapheliyo, uthokozise izizukulwane zonke.
“Ko e meʻa ʻi he liʻaki koe mo e fehiʻa kiate koe, koeʻuhi ʻikai fou ha tangata ʻiate koe, te u ngaohi koe ko e lelei taʻengata, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻoe toʻutangata toko lahi.
16 Uzanatha uchago lwezizwe, umunyiswe emabeleni asesikhosini. Lapho-ke uzakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo, uMsilisi wakho, uMhlengi wakho, uMninimandla kaJakhobe.
Pea te ke huhu ʻi he huʻahuhu ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, pea mimisi ʻi he huhu ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: pea te ke ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko ho Fakamoʻui, mo ho Huhuʻi, ko e Toko Taha Māfimafi ʻo Sēkope.
17 Esikhundleni sethusi ngizakulethela igolide, lesiliva esikhundleni sensimbi. Esikhundleni sezigodo ngizakulethela ithusi, lensimbi esikhundleni samatshe. Ngizakwenza ukuthula kube ngumbusi wakho, lokulunga kube yinkosi yakho.
Te u ʻomi ʻae koula ko e fetongi ʻoe palasa, pea te u ʻomi ʻae siliva ko e fetongi ʻoe ukamea, pea ko e palasa ko e fetongi ʻoe ʻakau, pea ko e ukamea ko e fetongi ʻoe maka: pea te u ngaohi ho kau fakamaau ko e melino, pea mo ho kau pule ko e māʻoniʻoni.
18 Akusayikuba lodlakela elizweni lakho, akusayikuba khona ukuchitheka loba ukutshabalala phakathi kwelizwe lakini, kodwa uzakuthi imiduli yakho yiNsindiso, lamasango akho uthi yiNdumiso.
‌ʻE ʻikai toe fanongo ki ha fakamālohi ʻi ho fonua, ʻae maumau pe ʻae fakaʻauha ʻi ho ngataʻanga; he te ke ui ho ngaahi ʻā koe Fakamoʻui, mo ho ngaahi matapā ko e Fakamālō.
19 Ilanga kalisayikuba yikukhanya kwakho emini loba ukukhanya kwenyanga kukukhanyise, ngoba uThixo uzakuba yikukhanya kwakho okungapheliyo, loNkulunkulu wakho abe yinkazimulo yakho.
‌ʻE ʻikai toe hoko ʻae laʻā ko hoʻo maama ʻi he ʻaho; pe ko e ulo ʻoe māhina ko e maama kiate koe: ka e hoko ʻa Sihova ko e maama taʻengata kiate koe, pea ko ho nāunau ʻa ho ʻOtua.
20 Ilanga lakho kaliyikutshona futhi, lenyanga yakho ayisayikufiphala njalo. UThixo uzakuba yikukhanya kwakho okungapheliyo, lezinsuku zakho zezinsizi zizaphela.
‌ʻE ʻikai toe tō hifo hoʻo laʻā, pea ʻe ʻikai toe fufū ʻe ia hoʻo māhina: koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ko hoʻo maama taʻengata, pea ʻe ngata ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo mamahi.
21 Lapho-ke bonke abantu bakho bazakuba ngabalungileyo, lelizwe lizakuba lilifa labo kokuphela. Bangamahlumela engawahlanyelayo, umsebenzi wezandla zami, ukuba ngibonakalise inkazimulo yami.
Pea ʻe māʻoniʻoni foki ʻa hoʻo kakai kotoa pē; te nau maʻu ʻae fonua ʻo taʻengata, ko e vaʻa naʻaku tō, ko e ngāue ʻa hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke u ongoongolelei ai.
22 Ingcosana yakho izakuba yinkulungwane, abancinyane bazakuba yisizwe esilamandla. Mina nginguThixo; ngesikhathi esifaneleyo lokhu ngizakwenza ngokuphangisa.”
‌ʻE hoko ʻae tokotaha ʻoku siʻi ko e toko afe, mo e tokotaha ʻoku iiki ko e puleʻanga mālohi: ko au ko Sihova te u fakavave ia ʻi hono kuonga.”
