UDutheronomi 19

1 Lapho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho isiqumile izizwe, olizwe lazo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunike lona, osusidla ilifa lazo, osuhlala emizini yazo lezindlini zazo,

“ʻOka hili hono motuhi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kakai, ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae fonua ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, pea ʻoku ke tongia ʻakinautolu, ʻo nofo ʻi heʻenau ngaahi kolo, mo honau ngaahi fale;

2 imizi emithathu uzazehlukanisela yona phakathi kwelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona ukudla ilifa lalo.

Te ke vaheʻi kiate koe ʻae kolo ʻe tolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ho fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe ke ke maʻu ia.

3 Uzazilungisela indlela, wehlukanise umngcele welizwe lakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona ukudla ilifa lalo, ube lezigaba ezintathu, ukuze wonke umbulali abalekele khona.

Pea ke teu ʻae hala kiate koe, pea vahe tolu ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke maʻu, koeʻuhi ke hola ki ai ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai noa ha tāmate.

4 Lalolu ludaba lombulali ongabalekela khona ukuze aphile: Lowo otshaya umakhelwane wakhe kungeyisikho ngabomo, obengamzondi mandulo,

“Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻoe tāmate faainoa, ʻaia ʻe hola ia ki ai, ke ne moʻui ai: Ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi hono kaungāʻapi taʻeloto ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa fehiʻa ia kiate ia;

5 njengongena egangeni lomakhelwane wakhe ukuyagamula izihlahla, lesandla sakhe sitshaya ngehloka ukugamula isihlahla, lensimbi ikhumuke emphinini, imtshaye umakhelwane wakhe aze afe, yena uzabalekela komunye waleyomizi ukuze aphile.

Kae hangē ko e ʻalu ha tangata mo hono kaungāʻapi ki he vao ke fai ʻae taʻanga, pea ʻoku hiki hono nima ke tā ʻae ʻakau ke hinga, pea homo ʻae toki mei he ʻesia, pea lavea ai hono kaungāʻapi, pea mate ai ia; ʻe hola ia ki he kolo ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi kolo ni, pea ʻe moʻui ia:

6 Hlezi umphindiseli wegazi axotshane lombulali, inhliziyo yakhe isatshisa, amfice ngoba indlela inde, amtshaye ambulale, lanxa bekungelasigwebo sokufa kuye, ngoba ebengamzondi mandulo.

Telia naʻa tuli ʻe he totongi toto ki he tāmate faainoa, ʻi he kei vela hono loto, pea maʻu ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku lōloa ʻae hala, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia; ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai totonu ke tāmateʻi ia, he naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa fehiʻa ia kiate ia.

7 Ngalokhu ngiyalilaya ngisithi: Uzazehlukanisela imizi emithathu.

Ko ia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke vaheʻi kiate koe ʻae kolo ʻe tolu.

8 Uba-ke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iqhelisa umngcele wakho, njengokufunga kwayo kuboyihlo, ikunika ilizwe lonke eyakhuluma ngalo ukubanika oyihlo,

Pea kapau ʻoku fakalahi ho fonua ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻo ne foaki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ke foaki ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai;

9 uba ugcina yonke limithetho ukuyenza engikulaya yona lamuhla, ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, lokuhamba endleleni zayo izinsuku zonke, khona uzazengezelelela eminye imizi emithathu ngaphandle kwaleyo emithathu.

Kapau te ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ni kotoa pē ke fai ki ai, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekauʻi koe he ʻaho ni, ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ke ʻalu maʻu pe ʻi hono ngaahi hala; pehē, te ke toki fakalahi ʻaki ʻae kolo kehe ʻe tolu, ki he kolo ʻe tolu ni:

10 Ukuze kungachithwa igazi elingelacala phakathi kwelizwe lakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona ukuba yilifa, ube lecala legazi phezu kwakho.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa lilingi ʻae toto taʻehalaia ʻi ho fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko e tofiʻa kiate koe, pea ʻe hoko ai ʻae toto kiate koe.

11 Kodwa uba umuntu elenzondo kumakhelwane wakhe, amcathamele, amvukele, amtshaye okokufa aze afe, abalekele komunye walimizi,

“Ka ko eni, kapau ʻoku fehiʻa ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea toitoiʻi ai, pea tuʻu hake kiate ia, pea taaʻi ia ke lavea lahi pea mate ai, pea hola ia ki he kolo ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi kolo ni:

12 khona abadala bomuzi wakhe bazathumela bamthathe lapho, bamnikele esandleni somphindiseli wegazi ukuthi afe.

‌ʻE toki fekau ai ʻe he mātuʻa ʻo ʻene kolo ʻo ʻomi ia mei ai, pea ʻe tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe totongi toto, koeʻuhi ke mate ai ia.

13 Ilihlo lakho lingamhawukeli, kodwa uzakhupha igazi elingelacala koIsrayeli, ukuze kukulungele.

‌ʻOua naʻa ʻofa ho mata kiate ia, ka ke tukuange mei ʻIsileli[ʻa hono nunuʻa ]ʻoe toto taʻehalaia, koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe.

14 Ungatshedisi isikhonkwane somngcele womakhelwane wakho abendulo abasibethelayo elifeni lakho, ozakudla ilifa lalo elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona ukudla ilifa lalo.

“ʻOua naʻa ke hiki ʻae fakangataʻanga fonua ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, ʻaia naʻe tō ʻi muʻa ʻi ho tofiʻa, ʻaia te ke maʻu ʻi he fonua ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke maʻu.

15 Umfakazi oyedwa kayikusukumela umuntu loba ngabuphi ububi loba ngasiphi isono, loba kusiphi isono one ngaso. Ngomlomo wabafakazi ababili kumbe ngomlomo wabafakazi abathathu udaba lungaqiniswa.

“ʻOua naʻa tuʻu hake ha fakamoʻoni pē taha ki ha tangata ʻi he hia, pe ʻi he angahala, ʻi ha angahala ʻe taha ʻoku ne fai: ʻi he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua, pe ko e toko tolu, ʻe toki fakapapau ai ʻae meʻa.

16 Uba kusukuma umfakazi wamanga amelane lomuntu emfakazela ngokubi,

Kapau ʻe tuʻu hake ha fakamoʻoni loi ki he tangata ke fakamoʻoni ha meʻa kiate ia ʻaia ʻoku hala:

17 khona abantu bobabili, abalokuxabana, bazakuma phambi kweNkosi, phambi kwabapristi labahluleli abazakuba bekhona ngalezonsuku.

‌ʻE tuʻu ai ʻae ongo tangata, ʻaia ʻoku na fakakikihi, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau fakamaau, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia;

18 Labahluleli bazachwayisisa; khangela-ke umfakazi ngumfakazi wamanga, ufakaze amanga ngomfowabo,

Pea ʻe ʻeke lahi ʻe he kau fakamaau: pea vakai, kapau ko e fakamoʻoni loi ʻae fakamoʻoni, pea kuo ne fakamoʻoni loi ki hono tokoua:

19 khona lizakwenza kuye lokho abehlose ukukwenza kumfowabo; ngalokhu uzakhupha ububi phakathi kwakho.

Te mou toki fai kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ne tokanga ke fai ki hono tokoua: ʻe pehē ʻa hoʻo tukuange ai ʻae kovi ʻiate kimoutolu.

20 Lalabo abaseleyo bazakuzwa, besabe, kusukela lapho bangabe besenza ububi obunjengalobu phakathi kwakho.

Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku toe tenau fanongo, mo manavahē, pea ʻe ʻikai tenau toe fai ha kovi pehē ʻiate kimoutolu.

21 Lelihlo lakho lingabi lesihawu; impilo ngempilo, ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo, isandla ngesandla, unyawo ngonyawo.

Pea ʻoua naʻa ʻofa ho mata, kae ʻatu ʻae moʻui ki he moʻui, ko e mata ki he mata, mo e nifo ki he nifo, ko e nima ki he nima, mo e vaʻe ki he vaʻe.
