Izaga 26
1 Njengongqwaqwane ehlobo loba izulu ebusika kanjalo udumo alusifanelanga isiwula.
ʻOku hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana, mo e ʻuha ʻi he lolotonga ʻoe ututaʻu, ʻoku pehē hono taʻetaau ʻae ongoongolelei mo ha vale.
2 Njengentaka ephaphazelayo loba inkonjane entwezayo, sinjalo isiqalekiso esingelasizatho kasinamatheli.
Hangē ko e manupuna ʻoku hēhē, pea mo e pekepeka ʻi heʻene puna, ʻoku pehē, ʻe ʻikai hoko mai ʻae fakamalaʻia taʻehanoʻuhinga.
3 Isiswebhu ngesebhiza, amatomu ngakababhemi, loswazi ngolwemihlane yeziwula!
Ko e meʻa kinisi ki he hoosi, mo e meʻa taʻofi ki he ʻasi, pea mo e meʻa tā ki he tuʻa ʻoe vale.
4 Ungabophendula isiwula ngendlela yobuwula baso, funa ubenjengaso wena ngokwakho.
ʻOua naʻa tali ʻaki ʻae vale ʻa ʻene vale, telia naʻa ke hoko ʻo tatau pe mo ia.
5 Phendula isiwula ngendlela yobuwula baso, sizabona kungathi sihlakaniphile.
Ke talia ʻae vale ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene vale, telia naʻa poto ia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
6 Njengokuziquma inyawo zakho loba ukunatha itshefu, kunjalo ukuthumela umlayezo ngesiwula.
Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻave ha fekau ʻi he nima ʻo ha taha ʻoku vale ʻoku ne tuʻusi ʻae vaʻe, mo inu ʻi he fakamamahi.
7 Njengemilenze eqhugezelayo eyomuntu oqhulayo sinjalo isaga emlonyeni wesiwula.
ʻOku ʻikai tatau ʻae vaʻe ʻoe tangata ketu: ʻoku pehē foki ʻae lea fakatātā ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kakai vale.
8 Njengokubophela ilitshe esavutheni kunjalo ukupha udumo koyisiwula.
ʻOku hangē ha taha ʻoku ne ai ʻae maka ʻi he makatā, ʻoku pehē pe ia ʻaia ʻoku fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻae vale.
9 Njengogatsha lwameva luphethwe yisidakwa sinjalo isaga emlonyeni wesiwula.
ʻOku hangē ko e tau ʻae talaʻi ʻakau ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata konā, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae lea fakatātā ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kakai vale.
10 Njengomtshoko ociba loba ngubani odlulayo unjalo oqhatsha isiwula loba umuntu ozedlulelayo.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ne fakatou ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he vale, pea mo e kau fai kovi.
11 Njengenja ebuyela emahlanzweni ayo kanjalo isiwula siyabuphinda ubuthutha baso.
Hangē ko e tafoki mai ʻae kulī ki heʻene lua, ʻoku pehē ʻae toe fai ʻe he vale ʻa ʻene vale.
12 Uyambona yini umuntu ozibona engohlakaniphileyo? Kulethemba elingcono ngesiwula kulaye.
ʻOku ke mamata ki ha tangata ʻoku ne mahalo kiate ia ko e poto ia? ʻOku tau ʻamanaki lelei hake ki he vale ʻiate ia.
13 Ivilavoxo lithi, “Kulesilwane endleleni, kulesilwane emigwaqweni!”
ʻOku pehē ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko, “ʻOku ai ʻae laione ʻi he hala: ʻoku ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo ʻae laione.”
14 Njengesivalo esitshibilika ngamabhanti aso kanjalo ivila liphenduka embhedeni walo.
Hangē ko e feʻaluʻaki ʻae matapā ʻi hono meʻa tautau, ʻoku pehē ʻaia ʻoku fakapikopiko ʻi hono mohenga.
15 Ivilavoxo litshonisa isandla salo emganwini; livilaphe ukusa isandla emlonyeni lidle.
ʻOku fakafufū ʻe he fakapikopiko ʻa hono nima ʻi hono fatafata; pea ʻoku mamahi ia ʻi heʻene toe ʻomi ia ki hono ngutu.
16 Ivila lizibona lihlakaniphile kakhulu okwedlula abantu abayisikhombisa abangaphendula ngokuhlakanipha.
ʻOku poto hake ʻae fakapikopiko ʻi heʻene mahalo ʻaʻana, ʻi he kau tangata ʻe toko fitu ʻoku faʻa tali ʻaki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.
17 Njengomuntu odonsa inja ngendlebe unjalo umuntu othi edlula angenele ingxabano ingesiyakhe.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻalu ange, pea ne kaunoa ʻi ha fakakikihi naʻe ʻikai kau ai ia, ʻoku tatau ia mo ha taha ʻoku puke ha kulī ʻi hono telinga.
18 Njengohlanya luphosa izikhuni zomlilo kumbe imitshoko ebulalayo,
Hangē ha tangata faha ʻoku lī fano ʻe ia ʻae afi, mo e ngaahi ngahau, mo e mate,
19 injalo indoda ephoxa umakhelwane wayo ibisisithi, “Bengizidlalela nje!”
ʻOku pehē pe ʻae tangata ʻoku ne kākaaʻi hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko ʻeku fakavā pe?”
20 Nxa kungaselankuni umlilo uyacima; nxa kungaselakunyeya ukuxabana kuyaphela.
ʻI he ʻikai ha fefie ʻoku mate ʻae afi: pea pehē, ʻi he ʻikai ha fakakovi kuo longo leva ʻae fakakikihi.
21 Njengamalahle avuthayo loba njengenkuni emlilweni, unjalo umuntu othanda ingxabano ekuvuseni inkani.
Hangē ko e malamala ki he malala vela, mo e fefie ki he afi; ʻoku pehē ʻae tangata faʻa fakakikihi kē.
22 Amazwi omuntu onyeyayo anjengezibiliboco; angena ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yomuntu.
Ko e ngaahi lea ʻae tangata faʻa fafana ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngaahi makafokafo, pea ʻoku ʻasi mai ia ki he kakano ʻoe loto.
23 Njengesiliva egcotshwe esitsheni sebumba sikhazimule kunjalo ukuthakazelela kwezindebe zenhliziyo elobubi.
Ko e loungutu lapu mo e loto kovi, ʻoku tatau mo ha konga ipu maumau kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae siliva.
24 Umuntu olenhliziyo embi uvala ngezindebe ezimnandi, kodwa enhliziyweni yakhe ufihle inkohliso.
Ko ia ʻoku taufehiʻa, ʻoku lapu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa hono loungutu, ka ʻoku nofo ʻi hono loto ʻae kākā;
25 Loba ukukhuluma kwakhe kumnandi, kodwa ungaze wamkholwa, ngoba inhliziyo yakhe igcwele izithuko eziyisikhombisa.
ʻOka matamatalelei ʻene lea, ʻoua naʻa ke tui kiate ia: he ʻoku fitu ʻae meʻa fakalielia ʻi hono loto.
26 Inzondo yakhe angayivala ngobuqili, kodwa ububi bakhe buzavezwa obala ebantwini.
Ko ia ʻoku ne fakafufū ʻene fehiʻa ʻaki ʻa ʻene fai kākā, ʻe fakahā ʻa ʻene fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē.
27 Umuntu angagebha umgodi, uzawela kuwo; umuntu angagiqa ilitshe, lizaphenduka ligiqikele phezu kwakhe.
Ko ia ʻoku keli ʻae luo ʻe tō ia ki ai: pea ko ia ʻoku tekaʻi ʻae maka ʻe toe ʻoho mai ia kiate ia.
28 Ulimi oluqamba amanga luyabazonda labo olubalimazayo, lomlomo okhohlisayo uletha incithakalo.
ʻOku fehiʻa ʻae ʻelelo loi kiate kinautolu ʻoku mamahi ai; pea ʻoku tupu ʻae malaʻia mei he ngutu ʻoku lapu.
