Izaga 20
1 Iwayini lenza ukudelela lotshwala buyaxabanisa, okhohliswa yilezi izinto kahlakaniphanga.
Ko e meʻa manuki ʻae kava, pea ko e meʻa fakatupu lili ʻae kava mālohi: pea ko ia kuo kākaaʻi ʻaki ia ʻoku taʻepoto.
2 Ulaka lwenkosi lunjengokubhonga kwesilwane; lowo oyizondisayo udela impilo yakhe.
Ko e tuputāmaki ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku hangē ko e ngungulu ʻae laione; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻene houhau ʻoku fai angahala ia ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
3 Kumupha udumo umuntu ukubalekela ukuxabana, kodwa iziphukuphuku zonke ziphangisa ukuthenga inkani.
Ko e meʻa ongoongolelei ʻi ha tangata ke ne tuku ʻae kē: ka ʻoku fie kau ai ʻae vale kotoa pē.
4 Ivila kalilimi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo; kuthi ngesikhathi sokuvuna liswele amabele.
ʻOku ʻikai ke keli ʻae fakapikopiko koeʻuhi ko e momoko; ko ia te ne faʻa kole ai ʻi he ututaʻu, ka ʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa.
5 Izifiso zenhliziyo yomuntu zingamanzi azikileyo, kodwa umuntu ozwisisayo uyazifinyelela.
ʻOku hangē ko e vai loloto ʻae poto ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata; ka ʻe fusi hake ia ʻe he tangata faʻa fakakaukau.
6 Banengi abathi balothando olungapheliyo, kodwa ngubani ongamthola umuntu othembekileyo na?
ʻOku tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻoku taki taha viki ʻi heʻene lelei ʻaʻana: ka ko hai ʻoku ne faʻa ʻilo ki ha tangata angatonu.
7 Umuntu olungileyo uphila impilo encomekayo; babusisiwe abantwabakhe abamfuzayo.
ʻOku ʻeveʻeva ʻae tangata angatonu ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni: ʻoku monūʻia ʻa ʻene fānau kimui ʻiate ia.
8 Inkosi nxa ihlezi esihlalweni sayo isahlulela, iyakuhlungula konke okubi ngamehlo ayo.
Ko e tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe fakamaau, ʻoku ne fakahēʻi ʻae kovi ʻaki hono fofonga.
9 Ngubani ongathi, “Ngiyigcinile inhliziyo yami imhlophe; ngihlanzekile kangilasono?”
Ko hai ʻoku ne faʻa lea ʻo pehē, “Kuo u fakamaʻa hoku loto, ʻoku ou maʻa au mei heʻeku angahala?”
10 Izisindo ezitshiyanayo lezilinganiso ezitshiyanayo uThixo uyakuzonda kokubili.
Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa, mo e faikehekehe ʻi he fuofua meʻa, ʻoku fakatou fakalielia tatau kia Sihova.
11 Lomntwana waziwa ngezenzo zakhe, ngokuthi isimilo sakhe sihle, siqotho.
Naʻa mo e tamasiʻi, ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻi heʻene faianga; pe ʻoku maʻa ʻene ngāue, pe ʻoku totonu ia.
12 Indlebe ezizwayo lamehlo abonayo kokubili kwenziwa nguThixo.
Kuo fakatou ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae telinga ke fanongo mo e mata ke sio ʻaki.
13 Ungathandani lobuthongo uzakuba ngumyanga, hlala uvukile uzakuba lokudla okunengi.
ʻOua naʻa ke manako ki he mohe, telia naʻa ke hoko ʻo masiva ai: ke ʻā pe ho mata, pea ʻe fakamākona koe ʻaki ʻae mā.
14 “Kubi, kubi!” kutsho umthengi; esuka lapho usezincoma ngakuthengileyo.
ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻoku fakatau, “Ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena, ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena,” ka ʻoka ʻalu ia ʻi hono hala, ʻoku ne toki polepole.
15 Likhona igolide lamatshe aligugu amanengi, kodwa izindebe ezikhuluma ulwazi zilivelakancane.
ʻOku ai ʻae koula, pea taʻefaʻalaua ʻae ngaahi maka koloa; ka ko e teunga mahuʻinga ʻae loungutu ʻoe poto.
16 Thatha isembatho salowo owenzela owezizweni isibambiso; sigcine nxa ebambisela owesifazane ongaziphathanga.
Ke toʻo pe ʻae kofu ʻoʻona ʻoku tongia ha taha ʻoku taʻeʻiloʻi: pea ke maʻu mei ai ʻae tuku paʻanga ko e langomekina ʻoe fefine muli.
17 Ukudla okuzuzwe ngenkohliso kumnandi emuntwini, kodwa kucina sekungathi udla itshebetshebe.
Ko e mā ʻoku maʻu ʻi he kākā ʻoku ifoifo lelei ki he tangata: ka ʻe toki fakafonu kimui ʻa hono ngutu ʻaki ʻae pata.
18 Nxa usenza amacebo dinga izeluleko; nxa usiyahlasela zuza ukuqondiswa.
ʻOku tuʻumaʻu ʻae tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē ʻi he fakakaukau: pea ka hoko ʻae tau, ke tomuʻa fakakaukau lelei ki ai.
19 Onyeyayo uyehluleka ukugcina imfihlo, ngakho yehlukana lomuntu okhuluma angathuli.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻalu fano ko e faʻa fafana ʻoku fakahā ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tala fufū: ko ia ʻoua naʻa ke kau kiate ia ʻoku faʻa lapu ʻaki hono loungutu.
20 Nxa umuntu ethuka uyise loba unina, isibane sakhe sizacinywa abesemnyameni omubi.
Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kape ki heʻene tamai pe ki heʻene faʻē, ʻe tāmateʻi ke mate ʻa hono maama ʻi he fakapoʻuli ʻoe ʻuliʻuli.
21 Ilifa elizuzwa lula ekuqaleni alilakubusiswa ekucineni.
ʻE faʻa maʻu fakavave ha tofiʻa ʻi he kamataʻanga: ka e ʻikai fakamonūʻia ia ʻi hono ikuʻanga.
22 Ungabokuthi, “Lami ngizakulungisa ngalokhu ongenze khona!” Yekela, uThixo nguye ozakusiza.
ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ʻe koe, “Te u totongi ʻeau ki he kovi;” ka ke tatali pe kia Sihova, pea te ne fakamoʻui koe.
23 UThixo uyazizonda izilinganiso eziguquguqulwayo, njalo kathokoziswa yizikali zokudlelezela.
Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa, koe fakalielia ia kia Sihova: pea ko e meʻa fakamamafa kākā ʻoku ʻikai lelei ia.
24 Izinyathelo zomuntu zikhokhelwa nguThixo. Pho umuntu angayazi kanjani na indlela yakhe?
ʻOku pule pe ʻa Sihova ki he tangata ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga: pea ko ia, ʻe faʻa ʻiloʻi fēfē ʻe he tangata ʻa hono hala ʻoʻona?
25 Yikuzithiya ukuthembisa ngokuphangisa ukupha ulutho, phambili umuntu aphinde azisole ngalesosifungo.
Ko e kai ʻoe meʻa ʻoku tapu ko e tauhele ia ki he tangata kuo ne fai ia: pea ʻoku pehē foki ʻae fai ʻoe fuakava, kae toki fehuʻi kimui ki hono ʻuhinga.
26 Inkosi ehlakaniphileyo iyabahlungula ababi; iyabahadla njengelitshe lokuchola.
ʻOku fakamovetevete ʻae angahala ʻe he tuʻi ʻoku poto; ʻo ne taʻomi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae meʻa teka.
27 Isibane sikaThixo siyawuhlolisisa umphefumulo womuntu; sihlolisisa ekujuleni kwemibilini yakhe.
Ko e laumālie ʻoe tangata ko e maama ia meia Sihova, ʻoku fakamaama ʻae potu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate ia.
28 Uthando lokwethembeka kuyayivikela inkosi; ngothando isihlalo sayo sobukhosi sivikelekile.
ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻae tuʻi ʻe he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni: pea ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu hono nofoʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.
29 Udumo lwamajaha lusemandleni awo, izimvu zekhanda ziyinkazimulo yabadala.
Ko e toulekeleka ʻoe kau talavou ʻa honau mālohi: pea ko e meʻa matamatalelei ʻi he kau mātuʻa ko honau ʻuluhinā.
30 Izidutshulo lamanxeba kugezisa okubi, lezibhaxulo zihlambulula ingaphakathi.
Ko e lavea ʻoku toka ʻuli ko e faitoʻo ia ki he kovi: ʻoku pehē foki hono ʻaonga ʻoe tautea ki he ngaahi potu ʻi loto.
