< Amahubo 82 >
1 Ihubo lika-Asafi UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu; nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:
Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ʻOku ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau mālohi; ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua.
2 “Koze kube nini livikela ababi na libonakala lithanda izigangi?
“ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakamaau taʻetotonu, pea filifilimānako ki he kakai angahala?” (Sila)
3 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane; melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.
“Fakamaau ʻae paea mo e tamai mate: fai angatonu ki he mamahi mo e masiva.
4 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo; bephuleni esandleni sababi.
Fakahaofi ʻae masiva mo e paea: fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.”
5 Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho. Bayantula emnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.
ʻOku ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo; ʻoku nau ʻalu pē ʻi he poʻuli: kuo ueʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
6 Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”; lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’
Naʻaku pehē, “Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu; pea ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.
7 Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje; lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”
Ka temou mate ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata, pea tō ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoe houʻeiki.”
8 Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba, ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
Tuʻu hake, ʻE ʻOtua, fakamaau ʻa māmani: he te ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē.
