UDutheronomi 31
1 UMozisi wasehamba wakhuluma lamazwi kuIsrayeli wonke,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē.
2 wathi kubo: Ngileminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili lamuhla; kangiselamandla okuphuma lokungena. LeNkosi yathi kimi: Kawuyikuyichapha le iJordani.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e taʻu eni ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo hoku motuʻa he ʻaho ni; ʻoku ʻikai te u kei faʻa ʻalu kituaʻā mo haʻu ki lotoʻā: pea kuo pehē foki ʻe Sihova kiate au, ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu koe ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
3 INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, yona izachapha phambi kwakho, yona izachitha lezizizwe zisuke phambi kwakho, ukuze udle ilifa lazo. UJoshuwa, yena uzachapha phambi kwakho, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
Ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻe ʻalu ia ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ni mei ho ʻao, pea te ke maʻu ʻakinautolu: pea ko Siosiua, ʻe ʻalu ia ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
4 LeNkosi izakwenza kuzo njengokwenza kwayo kuSihoni lakuOgi, amakhosi amaAmori, lelizweni lawo, ewachithileyo.
Pea ʻe fai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai kia Sihoni pea kia Oki, ko e ongo tuʻi ʻae kau ʻAmoli, pea ki hona fonua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaʻauha.
5 INkosi izazinikela-ke phambi kwenu, ukuze lenze kuzo njengokwemilayo yonke engililaye yona.
Pea ʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi homou ʻao, koeʻuhi ke mou fai kiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi fekau ʻaia kuo u fekau ni kiate kimoutolu.
6 Qinani, lime isibindi, lingesabi, lingatshaywa luvalo ngenxa yazo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, yiyo ehamba lawe; kayiyikukulahla, kayiyikukudela.
Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa, ʻoua naʻa ke lilika, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko ia ia ʻoku mo ō mo koe; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe liʻaki koe.”
7 UMozisi wasembiza uJoshuwa, wathi kuye phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli wonke: Qina, ume isibindi; ngoba wena uzangena lalababantu elizweni iNkosi eyalifungela oyise ukubanika lona; uzabenza badle ilifa lalo.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese kia Siosiua, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa: he ko koe te ke ʻalu mo e kakai ni ki he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻe Sihova ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke foaki, kiate kinautolu; pea te ke fakahoko ʻakinautolu ki ai kenau maʻu ia.
8 Njalo iNkosi, yiyo ehamba phambi kwakho; yona izakuba lawe, ingakulahli, ingakudeli; ungesabi, ungakhathazeki.
Pea ko Sihova, ko ia ia ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe; ʻe ʻiate koe ia, ʻe ʻikai te ne fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe liʻaki koe; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu.”
9 UMozisi wasewubhala lumlayo, wawunika abapristi, amadodana kaLevi, ababethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, lakubo bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli.
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono ni, pea ne ʻatu ia ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ki he kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
10 UMozisi wasebalaya esithi: Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo somnyaka wenkululeko, emkhosini wamadumba,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he ngataʻanga ʻo hono fitu taʻu kotoa pē, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tukuange, ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki,
11 lapho uIsrayeli wonke esefike ukubonakala phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho endaweni ezayikhetha, uwubale lumlayo phambi kukaIsrayeli wonke endlebeni zabo.
ʻI he hoko mai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he potu ʻaia te ne fili, ke ke lau ʻae fono ni ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē kenau ongoʻi.
12 Buthanisa abantu, abesilisa labesifazana labantwana, lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho, ukuze bezwe, lokuze bafunde, bayesabe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, bagcine ukwenza wonke amazwi alumlayo.
Fakakātoa fakataha ʻae kakai, ʻae tangata, mo e fefine, mo e fānau, mo e muli ʻoku nofo ʻi ho ngaahi matapā, koeʻuhi kenau fanongo, pea kenau ʻilo, pea manavahē kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni:
13 Labantwana babo abangaziyo bezwe, bafunde ukuyesaba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwenu, elizweni elichapha iJordani lisiya kulo ukudla ilifa lalo.
Pea ko ʻenau fānau, ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki hoko ʻo ʻilo ha meʻa, kenau ongoʻi, pea ʻilo ke manavahē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku mou moʻui ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ki ai ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ke maʻu ia.”
14 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khangela, insuku zakho zokufa sezisondele; biza uJoshuwa, zimiseni ethenteni lenhlangano ukuze ngimlaye. UMozisi loJoshuwa bahamba-ke, bazimisa ethenteni lenhlangano.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻa ho ngaahi ʻaho te ke mate ai: ui kia Siosiua, pea fakahā ʻakimoua ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke u tuku ha fekau kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo Siosiua, ʻo na fakahā ʻakinaua ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.”
15 INkosi yasibonakala ethenteni ensikeni yeyezi; lensika yeyezi yema phezu komnyango wethente.
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻa Sihova ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻi he pou ʻoe ʻao: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae pou ʻoe ʻao ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
16 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khangela, uzalala laboyihlo; lalababantu bazasukuma baphinge ngokulandela onkulunkulu bezizweni belizwe, lapho abaya khona phakathi kwabo, bangitshiye, bephule isivumelwano sami engisenze labo.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, te ke mohe koe mo hoʻo ngaahi tamai: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ni, ʻo ʻalu ʻo fai angahala ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kau muli ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻalu ki ai ke nonofo mo kinautolu, pea tenau liʻaki au, ʻo liʻaki ʻae fuakava ʻaia kuo u fai mo kinautolu.
17 Lentukuthelo yami izabavuthela ngalolosuku, ngibatshiye, ngibafihlele ubuso bami, ukuze babe yikudla, behlelwe ngokubi okunengi lezinhlupheko, baze bathi ngalolosuku: Angithi lobububi busehlele ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu kakho phakathi kwethu?
Pea ʻe tupu ai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea te u liʻaki ʻakinautolu, pea te u fufū hoku fofonga meiate kinautolu, pea ʻe fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi kovi lahi mo e ngaahi mamahi lahi kiate kinautolu; ko ia tenau lea ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻIkai kuo hoko ʻae ngaahi kovi ni kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kitautolu ʻa hotau ʻOtua?
18 Lami ngizafihla lokufihla ubuso bami ngalolosuku ngenxa yobubi bonke ababenzileyo, ngoba bephendukele kwabanye onkulunkulu.
Pea ko e moʻoni teu fufū hoku fofonga ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he ngaahi kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo ʻosi ʻenau fai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tafoki ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
19 Ngakho-ke zibhaleleni lingoma, uyifundise abantwana bakoIsrayeli; uyifake emlonyeni wabo ukuze lingoma ibe yibufakazi kimi obumelene labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Pea ko eni, mo tohi ʻae hiva ni maʻamoutolu pea ako ʻaki ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻai ia ki honau ngutu, koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻae hiva ni ko e fakamoʻoni kiate au, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
20 Lapho sengibangenisile elizweni engalifungela oyise, eligeleza uchago loluju, sebedlile basutha, bazimuka, bazaphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonze, bangidelele, bephule isivumelwano sami.
Koeʻuhi ʻi he hili ʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi; pea hili ʻenau kai ʻo fakamākona ʻakinautolu, pea [nau ]hoko ʻo sino; tenau toki tafoki ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu, fakahouhauʻi au, pea liʻaki ʻeku fuakava.
21 Kuzakuthi-ke, nxa sebehlelwe ngokubi okunengi lezinhlupheko, lingoma izaphendula phambi kobuso babo ibe yibufakazi; ngoba kayiyikukhohlakala emlonyeni wenzalo yabo. Ngoba ngiyawazi amacebo abo abawenzayo lamuhla, ngingakabangenisi elizweni engifunge ngalo.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae ngaahi kovi lahi mo e mamahi lahi kiate kinautolu, ʻe fakaʻilo ʻenau kovi ʻe he hiva ni ʻo hangē ha fakamoʻoni; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ngalo ia mei he ngutu ʻo honau hako: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻenau mahalohalo ni ʻaia ʻoku nau feʻaluʻalu fano ʻo fai ni, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ki ai.”
22 UMozisi wasebhala lingoma ngalolosuku, wayifundisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ko ia naʻe tohi ai ʻe Mōsese ʻae hiva ni ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻo ne akoʻi ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
23 Yasilaya uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni yathi: Qina, ume isibindi, ngoba wena uzabangenisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni engabafungela lona; lami ngizakuba lawe.
Pea naʻa ne tuku kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni ʻae fekau, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa: koeʻuhi te ke fakahoko ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai kiate kinautolu: pea te u ʻiate koe.”
24 Kwasekusithi uMozisi eseqedile ukubhala amazwi alumlayo egwalweni, aze aphela,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Mōsese ʻae tohi ʻoe ngaahi lea ʻoe fono ni ki he tohi, ʻo aʻu atu ki hono kakato,
25 uMozisi walaya amaLevi ayethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi esithi:
“Naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
26 Thathani lolugwalo lomlayo, lilubeke eceleni komtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze lube khona, kube yibufakazi obumelene lawe.
“ʻAve ʻae tohi ni ʻoe fono, pea ʻai ia ki he kaokao ʻoe puha ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ai ia ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni kiate koe.
27 Ngoba mina ngiyazi umvukela wakho, lentamo yakho elukhuni; khangelani, ngisaphila lani lamuhla, belingabavukeli beNkosi; pho, kangakanani emva kokufa kwami?
He ʻoku ou ʻilo hoʻo talangataʻa, mo hoʻo kia kekeva: Vakai, ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui mo kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, kuo mou fai talangataʻa kia Sihova; kae muʻa hake ʻo kau ka mate!
28 Buthanisani kimi bonke abadala bezizwe zenu lenduna zenu ukuze ngikhulume lamazwi endlebeni zabo, ngibize amazulu lomhlaba ukuba ngabafakazi bamelane labo.
“Fakakātoa mai kiate au ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, mo homou kau matāpule, koeʻuhi ke u lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi honau telinga, pea ui ki langi mo māmani ke fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.
29 Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi emva kokufa kwami lizakona lokona, liphambuke endleleni engililaye yona; lizakwehlelwa ngokubi ngensuku ezizayo, ngoba lizakwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, liyithukuthelise ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻo kau ka mate te mou fakahalaʻi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, pea tafoki mei he hala ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu; pea ʻe tō ʻae kovi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai hono houhau ʻi he ngāue ʻa homou nima.”
30 UMozisi wasekhuluma amazwi alingoma endlebeni zebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli, aze aphela.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese kae fanongo ʻae fakataha ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe hiva ni, ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga.
