< UMalaki 2 >

1 “Manje-ke nanku owenu umlayo, lina baphristi.
“Yaa luboota akeekkachiisni kun isiniif kenname.
2 Nxa lingalaleli, njalo nxa lingalungisi inhliziyo zenu ukuhlonipha ibizo lami,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla, “ngizaletha isiqalekiso phezu kwenu, njalo ngiziqalekise izibusiso zenu. Yebo, kuvele nje sengiziqalekisile ngoba kalizimiselanga ezinhliziyweni zenu ukungesaba.
Yoo isin dhaggeeffachuu baattan, yoo isin maqaa koo kabajuuf garaa keessan qopheessuu baattan, ani abaarsa isinitti nan erga; eebba keessanis nan abaara” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Sababii isin maqaa koo kabajuuf garaa keessan hin qopheessiniif dhugumaan ani amma iyyuu eebba keessan abaareera.
3 Ngenxa yenu ngizabakhalimela abantwabenu; ngizalihuqa ebusweni ngomswane wemihlatshelo yemikhosi yenu lithathwe linjalo lisiya ekuthunjweni.
“Sababii keessaniif ani sanyii keessan nan ifadha; faandoo aarsaa isin guyyaa ayyaanaa dhiʼeessitanii fuula keessanitti nan facaasa; isa wajjinis ni baddu.
4 Ngalokho lizakwazi ukuthi ngilithumele lesi isixwayiso ukuze isivumelwano sami loLevi siqhubeke,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
Kakuun ani Lewwii wajjin qabu akka itti fufuuf, ajaja kana isinitti erguu koo isin ni beektu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
5 “Isivumelwano sami wayelaso, isivumelwano sokuphila lokuthula, izinto engamupha zona; lokhu kwakuswela inhlonipho, lakanje wangihlonipha walesaba ibizo lami.
“Kakuun ani isa wajjin gale kakuu jireenyaatii fi kakuu nagaa ture; isas nan kenneef; kunis kabaja fide; innis na kabaje; maqaa koo sodaachuudhaanis ni dhaabate.
6 Imfundiso eqotho yayisemlonyeni wakhe njalo kakufunyanwanga lutho oluyinkohliso ezindebeni zakhe. Wahamba lami ngokuthula langobuqotho, waphendula abanengi ababesesonweni.
Gorsi dhugaa afaan isaa keessa ture; sobni tokko iyyuu hidhii isaa irraa hin argamne. Inni nagaa fi qajeelummaadhaan na wajjin jiraate; nama hedduus qalbii jijjiirrachiise.
7 Ngoba izindebe zomphristi kumele zilonde ulwazi, abantu badinge kuye ukufundiswa ngoba uyisithunywa sikaThixo uSomandla.
“Sababii inni ergamaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu taʼeef, hidhiin luba tokkoo beekumsa kuufata; namoonnis afaan isaa irraa gorsa barbaadu.
8 Kodwa seliphambukile endleleni, kwathi njalo ngokufundisa kwenu lenza abanengi bakhubeka; lisephule isivumelwano loLevi,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
Isin garuu karaa irraa jalʼattaniirtu; barsiisa keessaniinis namoota baayʼee gufachiiftaniirtu; kakuu Lewwiis cabsitaniirtu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
9 “Ngakho sengenze ukuthi leyiswe njalo liyangiswe phambi kwabantu bonke, ngoba kalilandelanga izindlela zami kodwa latshengisa ukubandlulula ekusebenziseni umthetho.”
“Kanaafuu ani akka isin saboota hunda duratti tuffatamtanii fi salphattan nan godha; isin waaʼee seeraa keessatti loogii hojjettan malee karaa koo duukaa hin buuneetii.”
10 KasilaBaba munye thina sonke na? Kasidalwanga nguNkulunkulu munye na? Pho singcoliselani isivumelwano sabokhokho bethu na ngokungathembani thina ngokwethu?
Nu hundi Abbaa tokko qabna mitii? Waaquma tokkotu nu uume mitii? Yoos nu maaliif waliif amanamuu diduudhaan kakuu abbootii keenyaa xureessina ree?
11 UJuda ukhohlisile. Kwenziwe amanyala ko-Israyeli laseJerusalema: uJuda useyitshaphazile indlu engcwele uThixo ayithandayo, ngokutshada lendodakazi kankulunkulu wabezizwe.
Yihuudaan hin amanamne. Israaʼelii fi Yerusaalem keessatti wanni jibbisiisaan tokko raawwatameera; Yihuudaan dubartoota waaqa ormaa waaqeffatan fuudhuudhaan iddoo qulqulluu Waaqayyo jaallatu xureesseera.
12 Leyondoda ekwenzayo lokho, lokuba ingubani, sengathi uThixo angayisusa emathenteni kaJakhobe lanxa iletha iminikelo kuThixo uSomandla.
Nama waan kana hojjetu abbaa fedhe illee yoo taʼe, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf aarsaa fidu iyyuu dunkaana Yaaqoob keessaa Waaqayyo isa haa balleessu.
13 Enye into eliyenzayo nansi: Ligcwalisa i-alithari likaThixo ngezinyembezi. Liyakhala libubula ngoba kasayinanzi iminikelo yenu, njalo kasayamukeli ngokuthokoza ezandleni zenu.
Wanni isin hojjettan kan biraas kanaa dha: iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo irra imimmaan lolaaftu. Sababii inni siʼachi aarsaa keessaniif xiyyeeffannoo hin kennineef yookaan aarsaa keessan gammachuudhaan isin harkaa hin fudhanneef ni boossu; ni wawwaattus.
14 Liyabuza lithi, “Kungani na?” Kungenxa yokuthi uThixo umi njengomfakazi phakathi kwakho lomfazi wobutsha bakho, ngoba umkhohlisile yena eyingxenye yakho, umfazi wesivumelwano sakho somtshado.
Isinis, “Kun maaliif taʼe?” jettanii gaafattu. Kun sababii ati utuma isheen hidhata kee, niitii kee kan kakuu taatee jirtuu amanamummaa isheef dhabdeef Waaqayyo siʼii fi niitii qeerrummaa kee gidduutti ragaa taʼeefii dha.
15 UThixo kabenzanga baba munye na? Enyameni lemphefumulweni bangabakhe. Kungani bemunye? Ngoba wayedinga inzalo ekholwayo kuNkulunkulu. Ngakho ziqaphele emphefumulweni wakho, ungaze wamkhohlisa umfazi wobutsha bakho.
Waaqayyo tokko isaan hin goonee? Isaan fooniinis hafuuraanis kanuma isaa ti. Inni maaliif tokko isaan godhe? Sababii inni sanyii Waaqa sodaatu barbaadaa tureef. Kanaafuu of eeggadhaa; eenyu iyyuu amanamummaa niitii qeerrummaa isaatiif qabu hin cabsin.
16 “Ngiyakuzonda ukuchitha umtshado,” kutsho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uqhubeka esithi, “njalo ngiyayizonda indoda evala ngolaka kumkayo umkayo njengalokhu izivala ngesivunulo,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla. Ngakho ziqaphele wena emphefumulweni wakho, ungaze wakhohlisa.
“Ani wal hiikuu dhirsaa fi niitii nan jibba” jedha Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel; “Ani nama wayyaa isaatiin jalʼina haguugu nan jibba” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. Kanaafuu of eeggadhaa; amanamummaas hin dhabinaa.
17 Selimdinile uThixo ngamazwi enu. Lingabuza lithi, “Simdinise kanjani?” Ngokuthi, “Bonke abenza ububi balungile emehlweni kaThixo, njalo uyathokoza ngabo,” loba ngokuthi, “Ungaphi uNkulunkulu wokwahlulela kuhle na?”
Isin dubbii keessaniin Waaqayyoon dadhabsiiftaniirtu. “Nu akkamiin isa dadhabsiifne?” jettaniis gaafattu. “Warri waan hamaa hojjetan hundinuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti gaarii dha; innis isaanitti gammada” yookaan “Waaqni murtii qajeelaa meerre?” jechuudhaan.
