Izililo 1

1 Kuthule kuthe cwaka! Yeka lelidolobho elalinyakazela abantu! Selinjengomfelokazi, kanti lalilodumo phakathi kwezizwe. Lona elaliyindlovukazi phakathi kwezigodi, khathesi seliyisigqili.

‌ʻOiau! ʻAe nofo lala pe ʻae kolo ʻaia naʻe pito ʻi he kakai! Kuo ne hoko ʻo hangē ko e fefine kuo mate hono ʻunoho! Ko ia, ʻaia naʻe lahi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea hangē ko e ʻeiki fefine ki he ngaahi potu puleʻanga, kuo hoko ia ko e fai tukuhau!

2 Linjengowesifazane okhala kabuhlungu ebusuku, inyembezi zithe hlikilili ezihlathini. Kakho phakathi kwazo zonke izithandwa zakhe ongamduduza. Bonke abangane bakhe bamhlamukele; sebeyizitha zakhe.

‌ʻOku ne tangi mamahi ʻi he pō, pea ʻoku ʻi hono kouʻahe ʻa hono loʻimata; ʻi heʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke fakafiemālie ia: kuo fai kākā ʻa ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa kotoa pē kiate ia, kuo nau hoko ko hono ngaahi fili.

3 UJuda useye ebugqilini ngemva kokuhlupheka lokudonsa nzima. Usehlala phakathi kwabezizwe; akatholi ndawo yokuphumula. Bonke abamzingelayo bamxhumile ephakathi kokuhlupheka kwakhe.

Kuo ʻalu ʻa Siuta ki he pōpula, koeʻuhi ko e mamahi pea koeʻuhi ko e ngāue lahi: ʻoku ne nofo mo e hiteni, ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha fiemālie: naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he kau fakatanga kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi potu lausiʻi.

4 Iyalila imigwaqo eya eZiyoni, ngoba kasekho ozayo emikhosini yalo emisiweyo. Wonke amasango alo asekhohlakele, abaphristi balo bayabubula, amantombazana alo ayagomela, lona lidabukile kakhulu.

‌ʻOku tangi ʻae ngaahi hala ʻo Saione, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi ke haʻu ki he ngaahi kātoanga mamafa: ʻoku lala hono ngaahi matapā kotoa pē: ʻoku mafulu ʻene kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku mamahiʻia ʻene kau tāupoʻou, pea ʻoku ne ʻi he kona.

5 Izitha zalo sezingababusi balo; ziyaklamasa. UThixo ulehlisele usizi ngenxa yezono zalo ezinengi. Abantwabalo bathunjiwe, baba yizigqili zezitha.

‌ʻOku māʻolunga ʻa hono ngaahi fili, ʻoku tupu lelei hono ngaahi fili; he kuo fakamamahiʻi ia ʻe Sihova koeʻuhi ko e lahi ʻo ʻene ngaahi angahala: kuo ʻalu ʻene fānau ki he pōpula ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fili.

6 Kuphelile konke ukubenyezela kweNdodakazi yaseZiyoni. Amakhosana ayo asenjengezimpala ezingatholi amadlelo; zibalekile zilambile zingelamandla zibalekela umzingeli.

Pea kuo mole ʻae hoihoifua kotoa pē mei he ʻofefine ʻo Saione: kuo hoko ʻa ʻene ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e fanga haʻate ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ha potu ke kai, pea kuo nau hola taʻehamālohi ʻi he ʻao ʻo ia ʻoku tuli.

7 Ngezinsuku zokuhlupheka lokuntula, iJerusalema iyayikhumbula inotho eyayingeyayo ngensuku zayo. Kuthe abantu bayo sebewela ezandleni zezitha, akubanga khona ongayinceda. Zayikhangela nje izitha zayo zahleka ukuchitheka kwayo.

Naʻe manatu ʻe Selūsalema ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene mahaki mo ʻene ngaahi mamahi, ʻa ʻene meʻa mālie kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne maʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, ʻaia naʻe tō ʻa ʻene kakai ki he nima ʻoe fili, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokoni kiate ia: naʻe mamata ʻae kau fili kiate ia pea nau taukae ki hono ngaahi ʻaho tapu.

8 IJerusalema yonile kakhulu, ngakho isingcolile. Bonke ababeyihlonipha sebeyidelela, ngoba sebebonile ubuze bayo; yona ngokwayo ibubula ize ifulathele.

Kuo fai kovi lahi ʻe Selūsalema ko ia kuo fetukutuku ai ia: ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻoku nau manuki ki ai, koeʻuhi kuo nau mamata ki heʻene telefua: ʻio, ʻoku ne mafulu pea foki ki mui.

9 Ukungcola kwayo kwabhixa izidwaba zayo; kayinakanga ikusasa yayo. Ukuwa kwayo kwesabeka, kungekho oyiduduzayo. “Oh Thixo, ake ukhangele ukuhlupheka kwami, ngoba isitha sesinqobile.”

‌ʻOku ʻi hono kapaʻi kofu ʻā ʻene ʻuli; ʻoku ʻikai ha manatu ʻiate ia ki hono ngataʻanga; ko ia naʻa ne tō hifo fakamanavahē: naʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ha taha ke fakafiemālie. ʻE Sihova ke ke ʻafio ki heʻeku mamahi: he kuo fakahikihiki ʻe ia ia, ʻe he fili.

10 Isitha saphanga yonke inotho yayo; yabona izizwe ezingakholwayo zingena endlini yayo engcwele, bona labo owabanqabela ukungena phakathi kwebandla lakho.

Kuo mafao ʻae fili ʻa hono nima ki heʻene ngaahi meʻa lelei kotoa pē: he kuo ne mamata naʻe hū ʻae hiteni ki hono potu tapu, ʻaia naʻa ke fekau, ke ʻoua naʻa nau hoko atu ki hoʻo kakai.

11 Bonke abantu bayo bayagomela behamba bedinga ukudla; bathengisa inotho yabo eligugu ngokudla ukuze bangafi. “Oh Thixo, ake ungihawukele ngoba sengidelelwa.”

‌ʻOku mafulu ʻa ʻene kakai kotoa pē, ʻoku nau kumi mā, kuo nau foaki ʻenau ngaahi meʻa lelei ko e meʻakai, ke tokoni ʻae laumālie: “ʻE Sihova ke ke ʻafio pea vakai; he kuo u hoko ʻo fakalielia.”

12 “Kakusilutho kini yini lina lonke elidlula lapha? Ake likhangele nje libone. Kambe kukhona ukuhlupheka okulingana lokwami, khona lokhu engakwehliselwayo, nguThixo ngosuku lokuvutha kolaka lwakhe?

“Ko ha meʻa noa pe eni kiate kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ange? Vakai, pea mamata, pe ʻoku ai ha mamahi ʻo hangē ko ʻeku mamahi, ʻaia ʻoku fai kiate au, ʻaia kuo fakamamahi ʻaki au ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono houhau lahi.

13 Wehlisa umlilo uvela phezulu, wawehlisela phakathi kwamathambo ami. Wangithiya ezinyaweni ngomambule, wangibuyisela emuva. Wangenza ngaba lesizungu, ngaswela amandla ilanga lonke.

“Kuo ne fakahifo mei ʻolunga ʻae afi ki hoku ngaahi hui, pea ʻoku ne mālohi ki ai: kuo ne fola ha kupenga ki hoku vaʻe; kuo ne fakatafokiʻi au ki mui: kuo ne ngaohi au ko e liʻaki mo e vaivai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

14 Izono zami zisongwe zaba lijogwe; ngezandla zakhe wazelukela ndawonye. Zetheswe entanyeni yami, uThixo wangiqeda amandla. Usengifuqele kulabo engingeke ngimelane labo.

“Ko e noʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi angahala, kuo haʻi ʻaki hono nima: ʻoku nau fihi, pea ʻoku aʻu hake ki hoku kia: kuo ne pule ke hinga ʻa ʻeku mālohi, kuo tukuange au ʻe Sihova ki honau nima, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u mafai ke tuʻu hake.

15 UThixo kabemukelanga bonke abangabebutho lami; usebize impi ukuthi ingihlasele, ichoboze zonke izinsizwa zami. Esihluzweni sakhe sewayini, uThixo unyathelele phansi iNdodakazi yakoJuda eGcweleyo.

“Kuo malaki hifo ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku kau tangata mālohi kotoa pē, ʻi hoku haoʻanga: kuo ne ui ha fakataha kiate au ke taʻomia ʻeku kau talavou: kuo molomoloki ʻe Sihova ʻae tāupoʻou, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Siuta, ʻo hangē ʻi ha tataʻoʻanga uaine.

16 Yikho ngilila, amehlo ami empompoza inyembezi. Kakho oseduze ongangiduduza, kakho ongavusa umphefumulo wami. Abantwabami sebeswela ngoba isitha sinqobile.”

“Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku ou tangi; ko hoku mata, ko hoku mata ʻoku tafe hifo ʻi he vai, koeʻuhi ʻoku mamaʻo meiate au ʻae fakafiemālie naʻe totonu ke tokoni hoku laumālie: ʻoku liʻaki pe ʻeku fānau, koeʻuhi naʻe mālohi mai ʻae fili.”

17 IZiyoni yelulile isandla sayo kodwa kakho oyiduduzayo. UThixo usekumisile ngoJakhobe ukuthi abakhelene laye babe yizitha zakhe; iJerusalema isiphenduke yaba yinto engcolileyo kubo.

“ʻOku mafao atu ʻe Saione ʻa hono nima, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi ke fakafiemālie kiate ia: kuo fekau ʻe Sihova kia Sēkope, ke takatakai ia ʻe hono ngaahi fili: ʻoku hangē ha fefine mahaki ʻa Selūsalema ʻiate kinautolu.

18 “UThixo ulungile, kodwa ngaphikisana lomlayo wakhe. Lalelani bantu lonke; khangelani ukuhawula kwami. Izinsizwa lezintombi zami zonke sezaya ekuthunjweni.

“ʻOku māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova; he kuo u fai talangataʻa ki heʻene fekau; ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē fanongo, pea mou vakai ki heʻeku mamahi: kuo ʻalu ʻeku kau tāupoʻou mo ʻeku kau talavou ki he pōpula.

19 Ngakhala kulabo engidlelana labo, kodwa banginina. Abaphristi bami labadala bami babhubhela phakathi kwedolobho besadinga ukudla, ukuze baziphilise.

“Ne u ui ki heʻeku kau mamana, ka naʻa nau kākaaʻi au: ko ʻeku kau taulaʻeiki mo ʻeku kau mātuʻa naʻa nau tukuange ʻa honau laumālie ʻi he kolo, ʻi heʻenau kei kumi meʻakai ke fakafiemālie honau laumālie.

20 Ake ubone, Oh Thixo, ukuthi ngihlupheka njani! Ngiyatsha ngaphakathi kwami, ngidungekile enhliziyweni yami, ngoba bengilihlongandlebe. Ngaphandle, inkemba iyadabukisa; ngaphakathi, yikufa kodwa.

“ʻAfio mai ʻe Sihova, he ʻoku ou mamahi: ʻoku ngaue mamahi hoku fatu; kuo liliu hoku loto ʻiate au; he kuo u fai talangataʻa ʻaupito; ʻituʻa a ʻoku fakamasiva ʻe he heletā, pea ʻoku ʻi he loto fale ʻae mate.

21 Abantu bakuzwile ukububula kwami, kodwa kakho ongangiduduza. Zonke izitha zami zikuzwile ukuhlupheka kwami; ziyathokoza ngalokhu okwenzileyo. Sengathi ungalufikisa lolusuku owalumisayo, ukuze labo babe njengami.

“Kuo nau fanongo ʻoku ou mafulu: ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke fakafiemālie kiate au, kuo fanongo ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē ki heʻeku mamahi; ʻoku nau fiefia koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ia: he te ke fakahokosia ʻae ʻaho kuo ke tuʻutuʻuni, pea te nau hoko pe ʻo hangē ko au.

22 Abuvele kuwe bonke ububi babo; yenza kubo konke okwenzileyo kimi ngenxa yezono zami zonke. Kunengi ukububula kwami, lenhliziyo yami iphela amandla.”

“Tuku ke hoko ki ho ʻao ʻa ʻenau ngaahi angahala kotoa pē; pea ke fai kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke fai kiate au, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ngaahi angahala kotoa pē: he ʻoku lahi ʻeku mafulu, pea ʻoku vaivai hoku loto.”
