1 UIsrayeli ulivini elithululwayo, lizenzela izithelo; njengobunengi bezithelo zakhe wandisa amalathi akhe; ngobuhle belizwe lakhe wenza insika zakhe eziyizithombe zibe zinhle.
Ko e vaine mōmoa ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku ne fua mai kiate ia pe: ʻo fakatatau ki he lahi ʻo hono fua kuo ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga; ʻo fakatatau ki he lelei ʻo hono fonua kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tamapua masani.
2 Iyehlukanisile inhliziyo yabo; khathesi bazakuba lecala; yona izabhidliza amalathi abo, ichithe insika zabo eziyizithombe.
Kuo mavahevahe honau loto; ko eni, ʻe ʻilo kuo nau hala: te ne lī hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea maumauʻi ʻenau ngaahi tamapua.
3 Ngoba khathesi bazakuthi: Kasilankosi; ngoba kasimesabanga uJehova; pho, inkosi izakwenzani kithi?
He te nau pehē ni, “ʻOku ʻikai hamau tuʻi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mau manavahē kia Sihova; pea ko e hā ʻe fai maʻamautolu ʻe ha tuʻi?”
4 Bakhulume amazwi, befunga amanga besenza isivumelwano; ngakho isahlulelo sizahluma njengokhula oluyitshefu emifolweni yensimu.
Kuo nau lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea, ʻo tuki loi ʻi he fai ʻae fuakava: ko ia kuo tupu ʻae fakamaau ʻo hangē ko e hemiloki ʻi he luoluo ʻoe ngoue.
5 Abahlali beSamariya bazakwesaba ngenxa yethole leBeti-Aveni; ngoba abantu bayo bazalililela, labapristi balo ababethokoza ngalo, ngodumo lwalo, ngoba lusukile kulo.
‌ʻE manavahē ʻae kakai ʻo Samēlia, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi pulu siʻi ʻa Pete-ʻAveni: ʻe tangilāulau ai ʻae kakai ʻo ia, mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe fiefia ai, koeʻuhi ko hono nāunau, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahuʻi mei ai.
6 Yebo, lizathwalelwa eAsiriya, libe yisipho enkosini uJarebhi. UEfrayimi uzakuba lenhloni, loIsrayeli ayangeke ngenxa yeseluleko sakhe.
‌ʻE ʻave ia foki ki ʻAsilia ko e meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ko Salepi: ʻe hoko ʻae mā kia ʻIfalemi, pea ʻe mā ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻene fakakaukau ʻaʻana.
7 ISamariya iqunyiwe, lenkosi yayo injengebazelo ebusweni bamanzi.
Ka ko Samēlia, ʻe tapipi hono tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko e koā mei he fukahi vai.
8 Lendawo eziphakemeyo zeAveni, isono sikaIsrayeli, kuzachithwa; ameva lokhula oluhlabayo kuzamila phezu kwamalathi abo. Njalo bazakuthi ezintabeni: Sisibekeleni; lemaqaqeni: Welani phezu kwethu.
‌ʻE ʻauha foki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAveni, ko e angahala ʻa ʻIsileli: ko e ʻakau talatala mo e tiseli ʻe tupu hake ʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga; pea te nau lea ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo pehē, “ʻUfiʻufi kimautolu;” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, ʻo pehē, “Taʻomia kimautolu.”
9 Kusukela ensukwini zeGibeya wonile, Israyeli; lapho bema; impi eGibeya emelene labantwana bobubi kayibaficanga.
“ʻE ʻIsileli, kuo ke angahala talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea: naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi ai: ko e tau ʻi Kipea ki he fānau ʻae angahia naʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻua ʻakinautolu.
10 Kusesiloyisweni sami ukubajezisa; izizwe zizabuthana zimelene labo, lapho ngizababopha ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo ezimbili.
‌ʻOku ʻi heʻeku holi ke tautea ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu, ʻoka nau ka haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻena ongo luo.
11 Njalo uEfrayimi ulithokazi elifundisiweyo, elithanda ukubhula, kodwa mina ngedlule phezu kwentamo yakhe yobuhle; ngigadise uEfrayimi, uJuda uzalima, uJakobe uzaziharela.
Ko ʻIfalemi ko e pulu mui kuo akonekina, ʻoku manako ke malaki [ʻae koane]: ka naʻaku laka ʻi hono kia matamatalelei: te u ngaohi ʻa ʻIfalemi ke heka; ʻe toho huo ʻa Siuta, pea momosi hono kelekele fefeka ʻe Sēkope.
12 Zihlanyeleleni ekulungeni, livune emuseni; qhathani ingqatho yenu; ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuyidinga iNkosi, ize ifike, inise ukulunga phezu kwenu.
Tūtuuʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he angatonu, utu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, fakamolū ʻae kelekele; ʻoku tuku vaoa he ko e kuonga eni ke kumi kia Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne hāʻele mai, pea fakaʻuha ʻae māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
13 Lilime inkohlakalo, lavuna isiphambeko, lidle izithelo zamanga; ngoba lithembele endleleni yenu, ebunengini bamaqhawe enu.
Kuo mou keli ʻaki ʻae huo toho ʻi he angakovi, kuo mou utu ʻi he angahia; kuo mou kai ʻae fua ʻoe loi: koeʻuhi kuo ke falala ki ho hala, mo hono tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau tangata mālohi.
14 Ngalokho kuzakuba khona ukuxokozela phakathi kwabantu bakho, lenqaba zakho zonke zizachithwa, njengalokhu uShalimani wachitha iBeti-Aribeli ngosuku lwempi; unina wachotshozwa phezu kwabantwana.
Ko ia ʻe tupu ʻae maveuveu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai, pea ʻe maumauʻi ho ngaahi kolo tau, hangē naʻe maumauʻi ʻe Salimani ʻa Peteapeli ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau: naʻe lailai ʻae faʻē mo feleteni mo ʻene fānau.
15 Izakwenza njalo iBhetheli kini, ngenxa yobubi bobubi bakho; emadabukakusa inkosi yakoIsrayeli izaqunywa lokuqunywa.
‌ʻE pehē ʻae fai ʻe Peteli kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou ngaahi angakovi lahi: ʻi ha pongipongi pe ʻe mātuʻaki tuʻusi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
