UZekhariya 11
1 Vula iminyango yakho, wena Lebhanoni, ukuze umlilo uqhunqise imisedari yakho!
Fakaava ho ngaahi matapā, ʻe Lepanoni, koeʻuhi ka keina ʻe he afi hoʻo ngaahi sita.
2 Lila, wena sihlahla sephayini, ngoba imisedari isiwile; ngoba izihlahla zobukhosi ziqhunqile! Lilani, mi-okhi yaseBhashani; igusu elivitshileyo selicakazelwe phansi!
ʻAe ʻakau ko e fea, tangi; he kuo hinga ʻae sita; he kuo maumauʻi ʻae kau mālohi: ʻioho, ʻe ngaahi ʻoke ʻi Pesani, koeʻuhi kuo tulaki hifo ʻae vao vaine.
3 Lalela ukulila kwabelusi; amadlelo abo amahle asetshabalalisiwe! Lalela ukubhonga kwezilwane; ihlathi elihle leJodani liqhunqile!
ʻOku ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi mamahi ʻae kau tauhi; he kuo u maumauʻi ho nāunau: ko e leʻo ʻoe fanga laione mui ʻoku ngungulu; he kuo maumauʻi ʻae fielahi ʻa Sioatani.
4 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uNkulunkulu wami, uthi: “Sana emadlelweni umhlambi wezimvu zokuhlatshwa.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko hoku ʻOtua; “Fafanga ʻae fanga manu ki he tāmatea;
5 Abathengi bazo bayazihlaba bangajeziswa. Labo abazithengisayo bathi, ‘Makadunyiswe uThixo, senginothile!’ Abelusi bazo ngokwabo labo kabaziyekeli.
ʻOku tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻekinautolu ʻoku nau ʻonautolu, pea ʻoku nau pehē ʻoku nau tonuhia; pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatau ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau pehē, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova; he ʻoku ou koloaʻia:’ pea naʻa mo ʻenau kau tauhi ʻanautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
6 Ngoba kangisayikuba lozwelo ebantwini belizwe,” kutsho uThixo. “Ngulowo lalowo ngizamnikela kumakhelwane wakhe lenkosini yakhe. Bazalincindezela ilizwe, kodwa kangiyikubalamulela ezandleni zabo.”
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe manavaʻofa ki he kakai ʻoe fonua: kae vakai, te u tukuange ʻae tangata taki taha ki he nima ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, pea ki he nima ʻo hono tuʻi: pea te nau taaʻi ʻae fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei honau nima.”
7 Ngakho ngizafaka emadlelweni izimvu ezasezikhethelwe ukuya esilaheni, ikakhulu lezo ezaziphathwa kabuhlungu. Ngasengithatha ingwegwe ezimbili ngabiza enye ngokuthi nguThandeka kwathi enye ngathi nguNhlanganiso, ngasengizelusa izimvu.
Pea te u fafanga ʻae fanga manu ʻoku tāmatea, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau masiva ʻi he fanga manu. Naʻaku toʻo kiate au ʻae tokotoko ʻe ua; pea naʻaku fakahingoa ʻae taha ko “Matamatalelei,” pea ko e taha naʻaku fakahingoa ko “Nonoʻo;” pea ne u fafanga ʻae fanga manu.
8 Ngenyanga eyodwa ngaxotsha abelusi abathathu. Izimvu zanengeka ngami, lami zangidina
Naʻaku motuhi foki ʻae kau tauhi ʻe toko tolu ʻi he māhina pe taha; pea naʻe fehiʻa hoku laumālie kiate kinautolu, pea fehiʻa foki honau laumālie kiate au.
9 ngathi, “Kangisayikuba ngumelusi wenu. Yekela efayo ife, lebhubhayo ibhubhe. Yekela lezo eziseleyo zidlane inyama yazo.”
Pea naʻaku toki pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u kei fafanga ʻakimoutolu: ko ia ʻe mate, tuku pe ke mate; pea ko ia ʻe motuhi, tuku pe ke motuhi atu; pea ko hono toe, tuku ke fekainaki honau kakano.”
10 Ngasengithatha ingwegwe yami ethiwa nguThandeka ngayephula, ngidiliza isivumelwano engangisenzile lezizwe zonke.
“Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻeku tokotoko ko Matamatalelei, pea u tuʻu ua ia, koeʻuhi ke u maumau ʻae fuakava, ʻaia naʻaku fai mo e kakai kotoa pē.
11 Sadilizwa ngalelolanga, yikho abadubekayo emhlambini ababengikhangele bakwazi ukuthi lokho kwakulilizwi likaThixo.
Pea naʻe maumauʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ko ia naʻe ʻilo pau ai ʻe he kau masiva ʻi he fanga manu, ʻakinautolu naʻe tatali kiate au, ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova.
12 Ngabatshela ngathi, “Nxa libona kufanele, ngiphani iholo lami; nxa njalo kungenjalo, yekelani.” Yikho basebengiholisa inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu.
Pea ne u pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu, tuku mai haʻaku totongi; pea ka ʻikai, pea ʻoua.” Ko ia naʻa nau fakamamafa ʻeku totongi, ko e konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu.
13 UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Iphosele kumbumbi,” imali engaka ababengilinganisele yona! Ngasengizithatha lezonhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu ngaziphosela kumbumbi wembiza endlini kaThixo.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Lī ia ki he tufunga ngaohi ipu: ko e totongi lelei ʻaia naʻa nau fakatatau au ki ai.” Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu, pea lī ia ki he tufunga ngaohi ipu, naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
14 Ngasengiqamula ingwegwe yami yesibili ethiwa nguNhlanganiso, ngiqamula ubuzalwane phakathi kukaJuda lo-Israyeli.
Hili ia naʻaku tuʻu ua ʻa ʻeku tokotoko ʻe taha ʻaia ko Nonoʻo, koeʻuhi ke u maumauʻi ʻae fakakāinga ʻa Siuta, mo ʻIsileli.”
15 UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Thatha futhi izikhali zomelusi oyisithutha.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Toʻo kiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻoe tauhi vale.
16 Ngoba ngizamisa umelusi welizwe leli ongezukunanza ngezilahlekileyo, angawadingi amazinyane, angawelaphi alimeleyo, angawaphi ukudla aphilayo, kodwa adle inyama yezinonileyo, adlithize lamangqina azo.
He vakai, Te u fakatupu ha tauhi ʻi he fonua, ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻoku motuhi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne kumi ʻaia ʻoku kei mui, pe te ne fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo lavea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fafanga ʻaia ʻoku taʻefaʻaʻalu: ka te ne kai ʻae kakano ʻo ia ʻoku sino, mo ne haehae ke iikiiki ʻa honau ngeʻesi vaʻe.
17 Maye kumelusi oyisithutha, ohlamukela izifuyo! Sengathi angadliwa yinkemba igalele engalweni lelihlweni lakhe lakwesokunene! Sengathi ingalo yakhe ingahle yome qha, ilihlo lakhe langakwesokunene lihle life kokuphela!”
Malaʻia ki he tauhi taʻeʻaonga, ʻaia ʻoku siʻaki ʻene fanga manu! ʻE tō ʻae heletā ki hono nima, pea mo hono mata toʻomataʻu: ʻe mate ʻaupito ʻa hono nima, pea ʻe fakapoʻuli ʻaupito ʻa hono mata toʻomataʻu.”
