UmTshumayeli 3
1 Konke kulesikhathi esimisiweyo, njalo kulesikhathi sayo yonke indaba ngaphansi kwamazulu:
A IA he manawa no na mea a pau, a he wa hoi no na hana a pau, malalo iho o ka lani.
2 Isikhathi sokuzalwa, lesikhathi sokufa; isikhathi sokuhlanyela, lesikhathi sokusiphuna okuhlanyelweyo;
He wa e hanau ai, A he wa hoi e make ai; He wa e kanu ai, A he wa hoi e uhuki ai i ka mea i kanuia;
3 isikhathi sokubulala, lesikhathi sokuphilisa; isikhathi sokudiliza, lesikhathi sokwakha;
He wa e pepehi ai, A he wa hoi e hoola ai; He wa e wawahi ai, A he wa hoi e kukulu iho ai;
4 isikhathi sokukhala inyembezi, lesikhathi sokuhleka; isikhathi sokulila, lesikhathi sokugida;
He wa e uwe ai, A he wa hoi e akaaka ai; He wa e kanikau ai, A he wa hoi e haa ai;
5 isikhathi sokulahla amatshe, lesikhathi sokubuthelela amatshe; isikhathi sokugona, lesikhathi sokuba khatshana lokugona;
He wa e hoolei aku ai i na pohaku, A he wa hoi e hoiliili ai i na pohaku; He wa e apo ai, A he wa e apo ole ai.
6 isikhathi sokudinga inzuzo, lesikhathi sokuyekela kulahleke; isikhathi sokulondoloza, lesikhathi sokulahla;
He wa e imi ai, A he wa hoi e lilo aku ai; He wa e malama'i, A he wa hoi e hoolei wale aku ai.
7 isikhathi sokudabula, lesikhathi sokuthunga; isikhathi sokuthula, lesikhathi sokukhuluma;
He wa e haehae aku ai, A he wa hoi e humuhumu iho ai; He wa e hamau ai, A he wa hoi e olelo ai.
8 isikhathi sokuthanda, lesikhathi sokuzonda; isikhathi sempi, lesikhathi sokuthula.
He wa e aloha aku ai, A he wa hoi e inaina aku ai; He wa kaua, A he wa maluhia.
9 Ulenzuzo bani osebenzayo kwatshikatshika kikho?
Heaha ka uku a ka mea hana i ka mea ana i hana'i?
10 Ngiwubonile umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awunike abantwana babantu ukuthi baphatheke ngawo.
Ua ike au i ka hana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai i na keiki a kanaka e hana'i.
11 Konke ukwenze kwaba kuhle ngesikhathi sakho; wasebeka iphakade enhliziyweni yabo, ukuze kungabi lomuntu ongafumana umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awenzayo kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni.
Ua hana mai la oia i na mea a pau he maikai i kona manawa; a hookomo no hoi oia i ko ke ao nei iloko o ko lakou mau naau, i ike ole ke kanaka i ka hana a ke Akua i hana'i, mai ka mua a hiki i ka hope.
12 Ngiyazi ukuthi kakukho okuhle kubo ngaphandle kokuthokoza lokwenza okuhle empilweni yakhe.
Ua ike au, aohe mea maikai iloko o ia mau mea, ke ole e hauoli [ke kanaka, ] a e hana maikai i kona ola ana.
13 Futhi lokuthi wonke umuntu adle anathe akholise okuhle ngomtshikatshika wakhe wonke, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.
A o kela kanaka keia kanaka e ai, a e inu hoi, a e ike i ka maikai o kana hana a pau, oia ka haawina a ke Akua.
14 Ngiyazi ukuthi konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo kuzakuba khona phakade; kakukho okuzakwengezelelwa kukho, njalo kakukho okuzaphungulwa kukho; uNkulunkulu wakwenza ukuze besabe phambi kwakhe.
Ua ike au, o na mea a pau a ke Akua i hana'i, e mau loa no ia, aole e hiki i kekahi ke hoonui, aole e hiki i kekahi he hooemi; a na ke Akua no i hana mai i makau lakou imua ona.
15 Lokho okwakukhona kukhona khathesi, lalokho okuzakuba khona sekuvele kukhona; njalo uNkulunkulu ufuna okuxotshiweyo.
O ka mea mamua, oia ka mea e noho nei, a o ka mea e hiki mai ana, oia na mea mamua aku; a imi mai ke Akua i ke ano o na mea i hala aku nei.
16 Futhi ngasengibona ngaphansi kwelanga indawo yokwahlulela, kwakukhona ububi lapho; lendawo yokulunga, kwakukhona ububi lapho.
A ike aku la au malalo iho o ka la i kahi e ahaolelo ai, a malaila no ka hewa; a i kahi o ka pono, a malaila hoi ka hana ino.
17 Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami: UNkulunkulu uzakwahlulela olungileyo lomubi, ngoba kukhona lapho isikhathi sayo yonke indaba lesawo wonke umsebenzi.
I iho la au iloko o ko'u naau, e hookolokolo ana ke Akua i ka poe pono, a me ka poe hewa; no ka mea, oia ka wa no na mea a pau a me na hana a pau.
18 Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami ngesimo sabantwana babantu ukuthi uNkulunkulu abatshengise obala ukuthi babone ukuthi bona uqobo bazinyamazana.
I iho la au iloko o ko'u naau no na keiki a kanaka, i hoao ke Akua ia lakou i ike lakou ia lakou iho, he poe holoholona.
19 Ngoba okwehlela abantwana babantu kwehlela lezinyamazana; njalo yinye into ebehlelayo; njengoba omunye esifa, ngokunjalo enye iyafa; yebo konke kulomoya munye, lomuntu kalakho angadlula ngakho inyamazana; ngoba konke kuyize.
No ka mea, o ka mea e hiki mai i na keiki a kanaka, e hiki mai no ia i na holoholona, hookahi mea ia lakou; e like me ka make ana o kela, pela no ka make ana o keia, hookahi hanu ia lakou a pau; aohe mea o ke kanaka i oi aku mamua o ka holoholona; no ka mea, ua pau na mea i ka lapuwale.
20 Konke kuya endaweninye; konke kuvela ethulini, njalo konke kubuyela ethulini.
Ua hele lakou a pau i kahi hookahi; no ka lepo mai lakou a pau, a e hoi hou aku ana lakou i ka lepo.
21 Ngubani owazi umoya wabantwana babantu owenyukela phezulu, lomoya wenyamazana owehlela phansi emhlabathini?
Owai ka mea ike i ke ea o na keiki a kanaka, ka mea i pii iluna, a me ke ea o na holoholona ka mea i iho ilalo i ka honua?
22 Ngakho ngabona ukuthi kakukho okungcono okwedlula ukuthi umuntu azithokozise ngemisebenzi yakhe, ngoba lokhu kuyisabelo sakhe. Ngoba ngubani ongamletha ukuthi abone lokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhe?
No ia mea, ike iho la au, aohe mea maikai e ae i ke kanaka, o ka hauoli wale no i kana hana ana; no ka mea, oia kona haawina. A owai ka mea e hoike ia ia i ka mea e hiki mai ana mahope ona?
