U-Isaya 64
1 Kungathi ungadabula amazulu, wehlele phansi, izintaba zigeleze ebukhoneni bakho;
Taumaiā ke ke haeʻi ʻae ngaahi langi, koeʻuhi ke ke hāʻele hifo, koeʻuhi ke tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi hoʻo ʻafio mai.
2 njengokutshisa komlilo oncibilikisayo, umlilo wenze amanzi abile, ukulazisa ibizo lakho ezitheni zakho, ukuze izizwe zithuthumele ebukhoneni bakho.
ʻO hangē ʻoku ulo ʻae afi vela, ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he afi ʻae vai ke lili, ke pehē hoʻo fakahā ho huafa ki ho ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke tetetete ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi ho ʻao!
3 Ekwenzeni kwakho izinto ezesabekayo esasingazilindelanga, wehlela phansi; izintaba zageleza ebukhoneni bakho.
ʻI hoʻo fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻamanaki ki ai, naʻa ke hāʻele hifo, naʻe tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi ho ʻao ʻi hoʻo ʻafio mai.
4 Ngoba kusukela endulo kabezwanga, kabalalelanga ngendlebe, ilihlo kalibonanga, Nkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwakho, osebenzela lowo olindele kuye.
He talu ʻae kamataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻoku teʻeki fanongo, pe ongoʻi ʻe he telinga, pe mamata ʻe ha mata, ki ha ʻOtua mo koe, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē ni maʻanautolu ʻoku tatali kiate ia.
5 Uhlangabeza othokozayo lowenza ukulunga, abakukhumbulayo ezindleleni zakho. Khangela, wena wathukuthela, ngoba sonile; kuzo kulokuqhubeka, njalo sizasindiswa.
ʻOku ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻoku fiefia pea fai māʻoniʻoni, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manatu kiate koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala: vakai, ʻoku ke houhau; he kuo mau fai angahala: ka ʻoku tuʻumaʻu [ʻena], pea te mau moʻui.
6 Kodwa sonke sinjengongcolileyo, lakho konke ukulunga kwethu kunjengezidwedwe ezingcolileyo; njalo sonke siyabuna njengehlamvu, leziphambeko zethu, njengomoya, zisiphephule.
ʻOku mau tatau kotoa pē mo e taʻemaʻa, pea ʻoku tatau ʻemau māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē mo e ngaahi konga holoholo fakalielia; pea ʻoku mau mae kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e louʻakau; pea ko ʻemau ngaahi hia, ʻo hangē ko e matangi, kuo ne ʻāvea ʻakimautolu.
7 Njalo kakho obiza ibizo lakho, ozivusela ukubambelela kuwe; ngoba ufihlile ubuso bakho kithi, wasicikiza ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku ui ki ho huafa, pe ueʻi ʻe ia ia ke puke kiate koe: he kuo ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate kimautolu, pea kuo fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ko ʻemau ngaahi hia.
8 Kodwa, khathesi, Nkosi, wena ungubaba wethu; thina silibumba, wena-ke ungumbumbi wethu; njalo sonke singumsebenzi wesandla sakho.
Ka ko eni, ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko ʻemau tamai; ko e ʻumea ʻakimautolu, pea ko homau ngaohi koe: pea ko e ngāue ʻa ho nima ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
9 Ungathukutheli wedlulise, Nkosi, ungakhumbuli ububi phakade. Khangela, ake ubone, sonke singabantu bakho.
ʻOua naʻa ke houhau lahi, ʻE Sihova, pe manatu maʻuaipē ki he hia: vakai, pea ʻafioʻi, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, he ko hoʻo kakai ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
10 Imizi yakho engcwele isiyinkangala, iZiyoni isiyinkangala, iJerusalema iyincithakalo.
Kuo hoko ko e toafa ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kolo māʻoniʻoni, ko e potu liʻaki ʻa Saione, kuo ʻauha ʻa Selūsalema.
11 Indlu yethu engcwele leyethu enhle, lapho obaba abakudumisela khona, itshisiwe ngomlilo; lazo zonke izinto zethu ezithandekayo sezilunxiwa.
Kuo vela ʻi he afi ʻa homau fale matamata ʻeiki mo māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia naʻe fakamālō ai kiate koe ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai: pea kuo maumau ʻemau ngaahi meʻa lelei kotoa pē.
12 Uzazithinta yini ngenxa yalezizinto, Nkosi? Uzathula yini, usihluphe wedlulise?
Te ke taʻofi koe, ʻE Sihova, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Te ke fakalongo pe, pea fakamamahi lahi ʻakimautolu?
