Imisebenzi 7
1 Umpristi omkhulu wasesithi: Kambe lezizinto zinjalo?
NINAU aku la ke kahuna nui, Pela no anei keia mau mea?
2 Wasesithi: Madoda, bazalwane labobaba, lalelani. UNkulunkulu wenkazimulo wabonakala kubaba wethu uAbrahama eseMesopotamiya, engakahlali eHarani,
I mai la keia, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai; Ua ikea mai ke Akua nani e ko kakou kupuna e Aberahama, i kona noho ana ma Mesopotamia, i ka wa mamua aku o kona noho ana ma Harana:
3 wasesithi kuye: Phuma elizweni lakini lezihlotsheni zakho, uze elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.
A i mai la ia ia, E puka aku oe, mai kou aina aku, a mai kou poe hoahanau aku hoi, a e hele i ka aina a'u e kuhikuhi aku ai ia oe.
4 Wasesuka elizweni lamaKhaladiya wahlala eHarani; kwathi esuka lapho, emva kokufa kukayise, wamsusa wamhlalisa kulelilizwe elihlezi kilo lina khathesi;
Alaila, hele aku la ia mawaho o ka aina o ko Kaledaio, a noho iho la ma Harana: a make kona makuakane, mai ia wahi mai i lawe mai ai oia ia ia, a i keia aina a oukou e noho nei.
5 kodwa kamnikanga ilifa kilo, hatshi lanyathela; kodwa wathembisa ukumnika lona libe ngelakhe, lelenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe, engakabi lamntwana.
Aole hoi i haawi ia ia ia i hooilina maloko ona, aole no i kahi e ku ai ka wawae: ua olelo mai nae oia e haawi mai ia ia ia i kuleana nona, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona; ia manawa, aole ana keiki.
6 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kanje esithi inzalo yakhe izakuba yisihambi elizweni lemzini, bazayenza isigqili bazayiphatha kubi, iminyaka engamakhulu amane;
I mai la ke Akua penei, E noho malihini ana kana poe mamo ma ka aina e; a e hooluluhi pio ia ilaila, a e hoomainoinoia mai lakou, i na makahiki eha haneri.
7 kodwa lesosizwe, abazakuba yizigqili kuso, ngizasigweba mina, kutsho uNkulunkulu; njalo emva kwalezizinto bazaphuma, bangikhonze kulindawo.
A o ka lahuikanaka a lakou i hookauwa ai, na'u no ia e hoopai aku, wahi a ke Akua: a mahope iho o keia mau mea, e puka mai lakou iwaho, a e malama mai ia'u ma keia wahi.
8 Wasemnika isivumelwano sokusoka; ngokunjalo wazala uIsaka, wamsoka ngosuku lwesificaminwembili; loIsaka wazala uJakobe, loJakobe okhokho abalitshumi lambili.
A haawi mai la ia ia i ka berita o ke okipoepoe ana; a hanau mai nana o Isaaka, a okipoepoe iho la ia ia i ka walu o ka la; a na Isaaka o Iakoba, a na Iakoba o na makualii, he umikumamalua.
9 Okhokho basebesiba lomona bathengisa uJosefa eGibhithe; kodwa uNkulunkulu wayelaye,
A huahuwa iho la na makualii ia Iosepa, a kuai lilo aku la ia ia i ko Aigupita: aia no me ia ke Akua,
10 wasemkhulula kuzo zonke inhlupheko zakhe, wamnika umusa lenhlakanipho phambi kukaFaro inkosi yeGibhithe; wasembeka ukuba ngumbusi phezu kweGibhithe lowendlu yakhe yonke.
A nana no i hoopakele mai ia ia, mailoko mai o kona mau popilikia a pau, a haawi mai ia ia i ka lokomaikaiia, a me ke akamai imua o Parao, o ke alii o Aigupita; a hoolilo iho la ia ia, i luna maluna o Aigupita, a me kona hale a pau.
11 Kwasekufika indlala elizweni lonke leGibhithe leleKhanani, lokuhlupheka okukhulu; labobaba bethu kabatholanga ukudla.
Ua hiki mai he wi maluna o ka aina a pau o Aigupita a me Kanaana, a me ka popilikia nui: aole i loaa i ko kakou mau kupuna ka mea ai.
12 Kodwa uJakobe esezwile ukuthi kukhona amabele eGibhithe, wathuma obaba bethu okokuqala.
A lohe ae la o Iakoba he ai ma Aigupita, hoouna mua aku la ia i ko kakou mau kupuna.
13 Kwathi ngokwesibili uJosefa waziswa kubafowabo, labakibo kaJosefa babonakaliswa kuFaro.
A i ka lua [o ka hele ana] hoike mai o Iosepa ia ia iho i kona poe hoahanau, a hoikeia'ku la ka ohana o Iosepa ia Parao.
14 UJosefa wasethumela wabizela kuye uyise uJakobe, lalo lonke usendo lwakhe, kulemiphefumulo engamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
Alaila, hoouna mai la o Iosepa, a kii mai la i kona makuakane ia Iakoba, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau; he mau uhane kanahikukumamalima lakou.
15 UJakobe wasesehlela eGibhithe, wasesifa yena labobaba bethu;
Iho ae la o Iakoba i Aigupita, a make iho la ia, a me ko kakou poe kupuna.
16 basebethwalelwa eShikemi, balaliswa engcwabeni uAbrahama ayelithenge ngentengo yemali kumadodana kaHamori weShikemi.
A laweia'ku la lakou i Sukema, a waiho iho la maloko o ka halelua a Aberahama i kuai mai ai i ke kala me na keiki a Hemora, a ka makuakane o Sukema mai.
17 Kwathi sesisondele isikhathi sesithembiso uNkulunkulu ayesifunge kuAbrahama, bakhula abantu banda eGibhithe,
A kokoke hiki mai ka wa i oleloia mai ai, a ke Akua i hoohiki mai ai ia Aberahema, mahuahua na kanaka, a lehulehu ae la ma Aigupita;
18 kwaze kwavela enye inkosi, eyayingamazi uJosefa.
A ku mai la kekahi alii e ae, i ike ole ia Iosepa.
19 Yona yasiphatha ngobuqili isizukulu sakithi, yabahlupha obaba bethu, ukubalahlisa insane zabo, ukuze zingaphili.
Hana maalea mai la ia i ko kakou lahuikanaka, a hana ino mai i na kupuna o kakou, a kiola aku la i ka lakou keiki hou, i ole lakou e ola.
20 Ngalesosikhathi kwazalwa uMozisi, waba muhle kuNkulunkulu; owondliwa endlini kayise inyanga ezintathu.
Ia manawa i hanau ai o Mose, a ua maikai loa ia, a hanaiia oia i ekolu malama maloko o ka hale o kona makuakane.
21 Eselahliwe, indodakazi kaFaro yamdobha, yazondlela yena ukuthi abe yindodana.
A i kona wa i hooleiia'i mawaho, lawe ae la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, a malama iho la i keiki nana.
22 Njalo uMozisi wafundiswa kuyo yonke inhlakanipho yamaGibhithe; wasesiba lamandla ngamazwi langemisebenzi.
Ua aoia o Mose i ke akamai a pau o ko Aigupita, a ua mana hoi ma na olelo, a ma na hana ana.
23 Kwathi eselesikhathi seminyaka engamatshumi amane agcweleyo, kwafika enhliziyweni yakhe ukuthi ahambele abafowabo abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
A hala na makahiki ona he kanaha, kupu iho la ka manao maloko o kona naau, e hele aku e ike i kona poe hoahanau, i ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
24 Kwathi ebona omunye ephathwa kubi, wamvikela wamphindisela ohlutshwayo, watshaya umGibhithe;
A ike aku la ia i kekahi mea e hana ino ia'ua, kokua aku la oia ia ia, a hooponopono mamuli o ka mea i hooluhi hewa ia mai, a pepehi aku la i ke kanaka o Aigupita.
25 njalo wayethemba ukuthi abafowabo bazaqedisisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubanika inkululeko ngesandla sakhe; kodwa kabaqedisisanga.
Manao iho la ia e hoomaopopo auanei kona poe hoahanau e haawi mai ana ke Akua i ola no lakou, ma kona lima; aka, aole lakou i ike.
26 Njalo ngosuku olulandelayo wazibonakalisa kubo ababesilwa, wabalamula ngamandla, esithi: Madoda, lingabazalwane; liphathanelani kubi?
A ia la ae, ikea oia ia lakou e paio ana, a koi aku la oia ia laua e kuikahi, i ae la, E na kanaka, he mau hoahanau olua, no ke aha la olua e hana ino nei kekahi i kekahi?
27 Kodwa lowo owayemona umakhelwane wamsunduza, esithi: Ubekwe ngubani ukuba ngumbusi lomahluleli phezu kwethu?
Aka, o ka mea hana ino i ka hoa, kipaku aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Nawai la oe i hoonoho ai i alii, a i lunakanawai maluna o makou?
28 Usufuna ukungibulala yini, njengoba ubulele umGibhithe izolo?
Ke manao nei anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u, e like me kou pepehi ana i ke kanaka o Aigupita inehinei?
29 Ngalelilizwi uMozisi wasebaleka, waba ngowemzini elizweni leMadiyani, lapho azala khona amadodana amabili.
Holo aku la o Mose no keia olelo, a lilo i malihini ma ka aina Midiana, malaila i hanau ai nana, na keikikane elua.
30 Kwathi sekugcwaliseke iminyaka engamatshumi amane, kwabonakala kuye enkangala yentaba iSinayi ingilosi yeNkosi phakathi kwelangabi lomlilo esihlahleni.
A pau na makahiki hookahi kanaha, ikeia mai la he anela o ka Haku ia ia, ma ka waonahele, ma ka mauna Sinai, maloko o ka lapalapa ahi o ka laau ooi.
31 Kwathi uMozisi esebonile wamangala ngalowombono; esasondela ukuthi akhangelisise, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuye lisithi:
A ike aku la o Mose, kahaha aku la i keia mea i ikeia; a hookokoke aku la no hoi ia e makaikai, a hiki mai ka leo o ka Haku io na la,
32 Mina nginguNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama loNkulunkulu kaIsaka loNkulunkulu kaJakobe. UMozisi wasethuthumela, kazaba lesibindi sokukhangelisisa.
Owau no ke Akua o kou mau makua, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua a Iakoba. Haalulu iho la o Mose, a makau ke makaikai aku.
33 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Khulula amanyathela enyaweni zakho; ngoba indawo omi kiyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.
Olelo mai la ka Haku ia ia, E wehe oe i kou mau kamaa, mai kou mau kapuwai aku; no ka mea, o kahi au e ku nei, he aina hoano ia.
34 Ngikubonile lokukubona ukuhlutshwa kwabantu bami abaseGibhithe, njalo ngizwile ukububula kwabo; sengehlile ukuthi ngibakhulule; khathesi-ke woza, ngizakuthuma eGibhithe.
I ka nana ana, ua ike au i ka poino ana o ko'u poe kanaka ma Aigupita, a ua lohe no au i ko lakou kaniuhu ana, a ua iho mai nei au e hoopakele ia lakou: e hele mai hoi oe, a e hoouna aku au ia oe i Aigupita.
35 UMozisi lo abamalayo besithi: Ubekwe ngubani ukuba ngumbusi lomahluleli? - nguye uNkulunkulu amthumayo ukuba ngumbusi lomkhululi ngesandla sengilosi eyabonakala kuye esihlahleni.
O ua Mose la, ka mea a lakou i hoole ai, me ka i ana'e, Owai ka mea i hoonoho ia oe, i alii, a i lunakanawai? oia no ka ke Akua i hoouna aku ai i alii, a i ola, ma ka lima o ka anela ana i ike aku ai iwaena o ka laau ooi.
36 Yena wabakhupha, esenze izimangaliso lezibonakaliso elizweni leGibhithe loLwandle oluBomvu, lenkangala iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Nana no lakou i alakai iwaho, e hana ana i na mea kupanaha, a me na hoailona ma ka aina o Aigupita, a me ke Kaiula, a ma ka waonahele i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
37 Nguye lowo uMozisi owathi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu uzalivusela umprofethi kubazalwane benu onjengami; lizamuzwa yena.
O ua Mose la keia, ka mea nana i olelo mai i na mamo a Iseraela, E hoala mai ana ka Haku, ko oukou Akua, i kekahi Kaula, mailoko mai o ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me au nei; oia no ka oukou e hoolohe aku ai.
38 Nguye lowo owayesebandleni enkangala, kanye lengilosi eyakhuluma laye entabeni iSinayi kanye labobaba bethu; owemukela amazwi aphilayo, ukuze asinike;
Oia no ka mea maloko o ka ekalesia ma ka waonahele me ka anela nana i olelo mai ia ia, ma ka mauna ma Sinai, a me ko kakou poe kupuna hoi; a loaa no ia ia na olelo hoola, e haawi mai ia kakou.
39 yena obaba bethu abangavumanga ukumlalela, kodwa bamsunduzela eceleni, basebebuyela eGibhithe ngenhliziyo zabo,
Aole i makemake ai ko kakou poe kupuna e hoolohe ia ia, aka, kipaku aku la, a ma ka naau, huli hou no lakou i Aigupita,
40 besithi kuAroni: Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu; ngoba uMozisi lo, owasikhupha elizweni iGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.
I ae la ia Aarona, E hana oe i mau akua no kakou, e hele aku mamua o kakou; no ka mea, o ua Mose la, ka mea i alakai mai ia kakou nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, aole kakou i ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
41 Basebesenza ithole ngalezonsuku, baletha umhlatshelo esithombeni, bajabula ngemisebenzi yezandla zabo.
A ia mau la, hana iho la lakou i bipi keiki, a haawi aku la i mohai na ua kii akua la, a olioli iho la lakou i ka mea a ko lakou mau lima iho i hana'i.
42 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wafulathela, wabanikela ukuthi bakhonze ibutho lezulu; njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yabaprofethi ukuthi: Laletha kimi yini imihlatshelo leminikelo iminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala, ndlu kaIsrayeli?
Alaila huli aku la ke Akua, a kuu mai la ia lakou e hoomana aku i ka puali o ka lani; e like me ka mea i palapalaia maloko o ka buke a ka poe kaula, E ka ohana a Iseraela e, ua lawe mai anei oukou na'u i na mea i pepehiia, a me na mohai, i na makahiki hookahi kanaha ma ka waonahele?
43 Njalo lathatha ithabhanekele likaMoloki lenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRefani, imifanekiso elayenza ukuthi liyikhonze; njalo ngizalithuthela ngaphambili kweBhabhiloni.
A ua kaikai oukou i ka halelewa o Moloka, a me ka hoku o ko oukou akua o Remepana, i na kii a oukou i hana'i, i mea e hoomana aku ai ia lakou; a na'u no oukou e lawe aku ma o aku o Babulona.
44 Obaba bethu babelalo ithabhanekele lobufakazi enkangala, njengokulayela kwalowo owakhuluma loMozisi, ukuthi alenze ngomfanekiso ayewubonile;
Ua loaa no i ko kakou poe kupuna ma ka waonahele, ka halelewahoike, e like me ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai ia Mose, e hana ia mea me ke kumu ana i ike ai.
45 okwathi futhi obaba bethu abalandelayo sebelemukele balingenisa kanye loJoshuwa empahleni yezizwe, uNkulunkulu azixotsha phambi kobuso babobaba, kwaze kwaba sensukwini zikaDavida;
O ka mea hoi a ko kakou poe kupuna i lawe a kai mai ai me Iosua, i ke kuleana o ka lahuikanaka e a ke Akua i kipaku aku ai, mai ka maka aku o ko kakou poe kupuna, a hiki wale mai i na la o Davida.
46 owathola umusa phambi kukaNkulunkulu, wacela ukutholela uNkulunkulu kaJakobe ithabhanekele.
Loaa no hoi ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai imua i ke alo o ke Akua, noi aku la ia e hoomakaukau i wahi e noho ai, no ke Akua o Iakoba.
47 Kodwa uSolomoni wamakhela indlu.
Na Solomona nae i kukulu i hale nona.
48 Kodwa oPhezukonke kahlali ethempelini elenziwe ngezandla, njengokutsho komprofethi ukuthi:
Aka, aole e noho ka Mea Kiekie maloko o na luakini i hanaia e na lima; e like me ka mea i oleloia mai ai e ke kaula,
49 Izulu kimi liyisihlalo sobukhosi, lomhlaba uyisenabelo senyawo zami; lizangakhela indlu enjani, kutsho iNkosi; kumbe yiyiphi indawo yami yokuphumula?
O ka lani ko'u nohoalii, a o ka honua hoi ko'u keehana wawae. Heaha ka hale a oukou e kukulu ai no'u? wahi a ka Haku; heaha hoi ko'u wahi e maha ai?
50 Isandla sami kasizenzanga yini zonke lezizinto?
Aole anei na ko'u lima i hana keia mau mea a pau?
51 Lina ntamo zilukhuni njalo abangasokanga enhliziyweni lendlebeni, lina limelana njalonjalo loMoya oyiNgcwele; njengaboyihlo, linjalo lani.
E ka poe ai oolea, ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia ma ka naau, a ma ka pepeiao, ua mau loa ko oukou pale ana i ka Uhane Hemolele; e like me ko oukou kupuna, pela no hoi oukou nei.
52 Nguwuphi owabaprofethi oyihlo abangamzingelanga? Basebebulala labo abamemezela ngaphambili ngokuza koLungileyo, yena lo lina khathesi eselabangabanikeli lababulali bakhe;
Owai kekahi mea o ka poe kaula i hoomaau ole ia e ko oukou poe kupuna? Ua pepehi hoi lakou i ka poe nana i hai mua mai i ka hiki ana mai o ka Mea Hemolele, ka mea a oukou i kumakaia iho nei a pepehi iho la.
53 elemukela umlayo ngokuhlela kwezingilosi, kodwa kaliwulondolozanga.
Ua loaa no hoi ia oukou ke kanawai, na ka poe anela i hoolaha mai, aole nae oukou i malama.
54 Bathi sebezwile lezizinto, bahlabeka enhliziyweni zabo, bamgedlela amazinyo.
A lohe lakou i keia mau mea, walania iho la ko lakou naau, nau iho la ko lakou mau kui ia ia.
55 Kodwa yena egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wajolozela ezulwini, wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, loJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu,
Aka, ua piha no ia i ka Uhane Hemolele, a haka pono aku la ia i ka lani, a ike aku la i ka nani o ke Akua, a me Iesu e ku ana ma ka lima akau o ke Akua;
56 wasesithi: Khangelani, ngibona amazulu evulekile, leNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
I mai la ia, Aia hoi, ke ike aku nei au i na lani e hamama ana, a me ke Keiki a ke kanaka e ku ana ma ka lima akau e ke Akua.
57 Kodwa bamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, bavala indlebe zabo, batheleka phezu kwakhe bengqondonye;
Uwa aku la lakou me ka leo nui, papani iho la i ko lakou mau pepeiao, a lele lokahi mai la maluna ona;
58 basebemkhuphela ngaphandle komuzi, bamkhanda ngamatshe; labafakazi babeka phansi izembatho zabo enyaweni zejaha elithiwa nguSawuli.
Kiola aku la ia ia mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, a hailuku aku la; a waiho iho la na mea hoike i ko lakou aahu ma ka wawae o kekahi kanaka ui, i kapaia o Saulo.
59 Bamkhanda ngamatshe uStefane, ebiza esithi: Nkosi Jesu, yemukela umoya wami.
Hailuku aku la lakou ia Setepano, kahea ana me ka olelo aku, E ka Haku, e Iesu, e hookipa aku oe i kuu uhane.
60 Waseguqa ngamadolo, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu esithi: Nkosi, ungababaleli lesisono. Esetshilo lokhu walala.
Kukuli iho la ia a hea aku la me ka leo nui, E ka Haku, mai kau oe i keia hewa maluna o lakou. A pau kana olelo ana pela, hiamoe iho la ia.
