1 Wasememeza ezindlebeni zami ngelizwi elikhulu esithi: Yenza ababonisi bomuzi basondele, ngitsho wonke umuntu elesikhali sakhe sokuchitha esandleni sakhe.
Naʻa ne kalanga foki ʻi hoku telinga ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “Fekau ʻakinautolu ʻoku leʻohi ʻae kolo ke ʻunuʻunu mai, pea ʻomi taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene mahafu tāmate ʻi hono nima.”
2 Khangela-ke, amadoda ayisithupha eza evela ngendlela yesango eliphezulu elikhangele ngasenyakatho; njalo wonke umuntu elesikhali sakhe sokuphahlaza esandleni sakhe; njalo umuntu oyedwa phakathi kwawo wayegqoke ilembu elicolekileyo, elophondo lweyinki lombhali ngasokhalweni lwakhe; asengena, ema duze kwelathi lethusi.
Pea vakai, naʻe hū mai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ono mei he hala ʻi he matapā māʻolunga ʻoku hanga ki he tokelau, naʻe taki taha ʻae tangata ha mahafu tāmate ʻi hono nima; pea ko e tangata ʻe taha ʻiate kinautolu naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, pea tautau ki hono vakavaka ʻae ipu vaitohi ʻae tangata tohi; pea naʻa nau hū atu ʻonau tutuʻu ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga palasa.
3 Lenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yenyuka isuka ngaphezu kwekherubhi eyayiphezu kwalo, yaya embundwini wendlu; wasememeza umuntu owayegqoke ilembu elicolekileyo owayelophondo lweyinki lombhali okhalweni lwakhe.
Pea naʻe mole hake ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli mei he selupi ʻaia naʻe nofo ia ki ai, ki he hūʻanga ki he fale. Pea naʻa ne ui ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono vakavaka ʻae ipu vaitohi ʻae tangata tohi;
4 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Dabula phakathi komuzi, phakathi kweJerusalema, ufake uphawu emabunzini abantu ababubulayo labakhalayo ngenxa yazo zonke izinengiso ezenziwa phakathi kwawo.
Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “ʻAlu atu ki he lotolotonga ʻoe kolo, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo Selūsalema, pea ʻai ha fakaʻilonga ki he foʻi laʻē ʻoe kau tangata ʻoku toʻe mo tangi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fakalielia ʻoku fai ʻi loto ʻi ai.”
5 Lakwabanye yathi endlebeni yami: Dabulani phakathi komuzi emva kwakhe, litshaye, ilihlo lenu lingahawukeli, njalo lingayekeli.
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki he toko nima naʻe toe, ka ʻoku fanongo ʻa hoku telinga, “Muimui atu ʻakimoutolu kiate ia ki he kolo ʻo tāʻi; ʻoua naʻa mamae ʻa homou mata, pea ʻoua naʻa mou manavaʻofa.
6 Bulalani ngokuchitha abadala, abatsha, lezintombi, labantwana abancinyane, labesifazana; kodwa lingasondeli lakuwuphi umuntu okulophawu phezu kwakhe, liqalise endaweni yami engcwele. Basebeqalisa emadodeni amadala ayephambi kwendlu.
Tāmate ke ʻosi ʻae mātuʻa mo e talavou, ʻae kau finemui mo e fānau tupu, mo e kau fefine, kaeʻoua naʻa mou ofi atu ki ha tangata kuo ʻai ki ai ʻae fakaʻilonga, pea kamata fai ʻi hoku potu ʻafioʻanga.” Pea naʻa nau kamata ai mei he kau mātuʻa naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale.
7 Yasisithi kubo: Ngcolisani indlu, ligcwalise amaguma ngababuleweyo. Phumani. Basebephuma, babulala emzini.
Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fakaʻuliʻi ʻae fale pea fakapito hono ngaahi lotoʻā ʻaki ʻae mate: mou ʻalu atu.” Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ʻo tāmateʻi ʻi he kolo.
8 Kwasekusithi besababulala, mina-ke ngasala, ngathi mbo ngobuso bami, ngakhala ngathi: Hawu, Nkosi Jehova! Uzachitha yini yonke insali yakoIsrayeli ekuthululeni kwakho intukuthelo yakho phezu kweJerusalema?
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻae tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea tuku tokotaha pe au, naʻaku tōmapeʻe hifo ki hoku mata, pea u tangi mo pehē, “ʻOiauē, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te ke fakaʻauha ʻae toe kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi ho lilingi atu ho houhau lahi ki Selūsalema?”
9 Khona yathi kimi: Ububi bendlu yakoIsrayeli loJuda bukhulu kakhulukazi, lelizwe ligcwele amacala egazi, lomuzi ugcwele ukuphambuka, ngoba bathi: INkosi ilidelile ilizwe, njalo iNkosi kayiboni.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “ʻOku lahi ʻaupito fakamanavahē ʻae fai kovi ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta, pea ʻoku fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he toto, pea pito ʻae kolo ʻi he angatuʻu; he ʻoku nau lea ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa māmani, pea ʻoku ʻikai mamata ʻa Sihova.’
10 Lami-ke ilihlo lami kaliyikuhawukela, njalo kangiyikuyekela; ngizakwehlisela indlela yabo ekhanda labo.
Pea ko au foki, ʻe ʻikai mamae ʻa hoku mata, pea ʻe ʻikai te u manavaʻofa, ka te u totongi ʻenau anga ki honau tumuʻaki.”
11 Khangela-ke, lowomuntu owayegqoke ilembu elicolekileyo, owayelophondo lweyinki okhalweni lwakhe, wabuyisela ilizwi esithi: Ngenzile njengoba ungilayile.
Pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono vakavaka ʻae ipu vaitohi, naʻa ne fakaongo atu ʻae meʻa ʻo pehē, “Kuo u fai ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ke fekau kiate au.”
