UHezekheli 15
1 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
Naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, isihlahla sevini siyini ngaphezu kwaso sonke isihlahla, kumbe ugatsha oluphakathi kwezihlahla zegusu?
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku lelei hake ʻi he hā, ʻae ʻakau ko e vaine ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau kehe, mo e ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau ʻoe vao?
3 Kuzathathwa kiso isigodo yini ukwenza umsebenzi? Bangathatha kiso isikhonkwane yini ukuthi balengise lasiphi isitsha kiso?
He ʻoku toʻo mei ai ha laupapa ke fai ʻaki ha ngāue? Pe ʻoku ngaohi ʻe ha taha ha faʻo mei ai ko e tautauʻanga ʻo ha meʻa?
4 Khangela, siyanikelwa emlilweni sibe yikudla, umlilo uqede izihloko zaso zombili, lokuphakathi kwaso kutshiswe. Siselosizo kuwo umsebenzi yini?
Vakai, ʻoku lī ia ki he afi ko e fefie, pea fakatou vela ai hono hiku mo hono kongaloto. He ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he ngāue?
5 Khangela, lapho sisaphelele, asenziwanga sibe ngumsebenzi; kuncane kangakanani lapho umlilo ususiqedile sesitshile sisezakwenziwa sibe ngumsebenzi!
Vakai, ʻi heʻene kei haohaoa naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga ki ha ngāue; kae fēfē nai ʻene ʻaonga ki ha ngāue, ka kuo keina ia ʻe he afi, pea kuo vela?”
6 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Njengesihlahla sevini phakathi kwezihlahla zegusu, engisinikele emlilweni sibe yikudla, ngokunjalo ngizanikela abahlali beJerusalema.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Hangē ko e ʻakau ko e vaine ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe vao, ʻe pehē ʻa ʻeku foaki ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema ke vela ʻi he afi.
7 Ngoba ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane labo; bazaphuma komunye umlilo kuthi omunye umlilo ubaqede; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, sengimise ubuso bami bamelana labo.
Pea te u fakahanga hoku fofonga ke tuʻu kiate kinautolu; te nau hao mei he afi ʻe taha, kae vela ʻakinautolu ʻi he afi kehe ʻe taha; pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻoku tuʻu hoku mata kiate kimoutolu.
8 Njalo ngizakwenza ilizwe libe lunxiwa, ngoba benze isiphambeko, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Pea te u ngaohi ke lala ʻae fonua koeʻuhi kuo nau fai ʻae meʻa hala.” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
