Izaga 2
1 Ndodana yami, nxa usamukela amazwi ami ugcine imilayo yami ngaphakathi kwakho,
ʻE hoku foha, kapau te ke maʻu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea, mo fakafufū ʻiate koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau;
2 uvule indlebe yakho izwe ukuhlakanipha unikele inhliziyo yakho ukuthi izwisise,
Koeʻuhi ke fakatokangaʻi ho telinga ki he poto, pea ke tokanga ai ho loto ki he faʻa fakakaukau;
3 njalo nxa ucela ukuqedisisa ukhalela kakhulu ukuzwisisa,
ʻIo, kapau te ke tangi ki he ʻilo, pea ke hiki hake ho leʻo ke maʻu ʻae fakakaukau:
4 futhi ukudingisisa njengokudinga isiliva ukuphenye njengento eligugu efihliweyo,
Kapau te ke kumi ki ai ʻo hangē ko e siliva, pea hakule ki ai ʻo hangē ko e koloa kuo fufū;
5 lapho-ke uzakuzwisisa ukumesaba uThixo njalo uluzuze ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu.
Te ke toki ʻilo ai ʻae manavahē kia Sihova, pea maʻu ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe ʻOtua.
6 Ngoba uThixo uyapha ukuhlakanipha, emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma ulwazi lokuqedisisa.
He ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae poto: ʻoku haʻu mei hono fofonga ʻae ʻilo mo e fakakaukau.
7 Abaqotho ubapha ukunqoba, ulihawu lalabo abahamba bengasoleki,
ʻOku tokonaki ʻe ia ʻae poto ʻaonga maʻa e kakai māʻoniʻoni: ko e fakaū ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻi he angatonu.
8 ngoba uyayilinda indlela yabalungileyo avikele ukuhamba kwabathembekileyo bakhe.
ʻOku ne tauhi ʻae hala ʻoe fakamaau; pea ʻoku ne maluʻi ʻae hala ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9 Yikho uzazwisisa lokho okulungileyo lokuqondileyo lokufaneleyo zonke izindlela ezinhle.
Pea te ke toki ʻilo ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni, mo e fakamaau, mo e fai totonu; ʻio, ʻae hala lelei kotoa pē.
10 Ngoba ukuhlakanipha kuzangena enhliziyweni yakho, lolwazi lube mnandi emphefumulweni wakho.
ʻOka hū ʻae poto ki ho loto, pea mālie ʻae ʻilo ki ho laumālie;
11 Ukwazi ukukhetha kuzakuvikela, lokuzwisisa kuzakulinda.
ʻE fakamoʻui koe ʻe he faʻa fakakaukau, pea ʻe tauhi koe ʻe he poto:
12 Ukuhlakanipha kuzakusindisa ezindleleni zabantu ababi, abantu abamazwi abolileyo,
Ke fakamoʻui koe mei he hala ʻoe tangata kovi, mei he tangata ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi;
13 abatshiya izindlela eziqondileyo, bahambe ngezindlela ezilamathunzi,
ʻAia ʻoku liʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, kae ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe fakapoʻuli;
14 abathokoza ngokwenza okubi bajabule ngokungcola kokubi,
ʻAia ʻoku fiefia ke fai kovi, pea ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he talangataʻa ʻae angahala;
15 abandlela zabo zitshekile lokuhamba kwabo kakuqondakali.
Pea ʻoku pikopiko hono ngaahi hala, pea kovi ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga:
16 Kuzakukhulula njalo koyisiphingikazi, lasemfazini olamazwi akhohlisayo,
Ke fakamoʻui koe mei he fefine muli, ʻio, mei he muli ʻoku lea fakaoloolo;
17 osetshiye indoda yakhe yobutsha bakhe wadela isifungo asenza phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
ʻAia kuo ne liʻaki ʻae fakahinohino ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, pea kuo ne fakangalongaloʻi ʻae fuakava ʻa hono ʻOtua.
18 Ngoba indlu yakhe iholela ekufeni lezindlela zakhe zidonsela kwabafileyo.
He ʻoku tahifohifo hono fale ki he mate, pea mo hono ʻalunga ki he kakai mate.
19 Kakho ongena kuye obuyayo kumbe aphinde azuze izindlela zokuphila.
ʻOku ʻikai toe foki mai ha taha ʻoku ʻalu atu kiate ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke puke ʻekinautolu ki he ngaahi hala ʻoe moʻui.
20 Ngakho uzahamba ezindleleni zabantu abalungileyo walele emikhondweni yabaqondileyo.
Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi he hala ʻae kakai angalelei, pea ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
21 Ngoba abaqotho bazahlala elizweni, labangasolekiyo bazasala kulo;
Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae angatonu ʻi he fonua, pea ʻe nofomaʻu ʻi ai ʻae haohaoa.
22 kodwa izigangi zizasuswa elizweni, labangathembekanga bazakhutshwa kulo.
Ka ʻe motuhi atu ʻae angahala mei he māmani, pea ʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake mei ai ʻae fai kovi.
