Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siope mei he ʻahiohio, ʻo pehē,
2 Ngubani lo ofiphaza iseluleko ngamazwi angelalwazi?
“Ko hai eni ʻoku ne fakapoʻuliʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe taʻeʻilo?
3 Bopha-ke ukhalo lwakho njengendoda, njalo ngizakubuza, njalo ungenze ngazi.
Ko eni, ke ke nonoʻo ho noʻotangavala ʻo ngali mo e tangata; he te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakamatala mai kiate au.
4 Wawungaphi lapho ngimisa izisekelo zomhlaba? Tshono uba usazi ukuqedisisa.
“Naʻa ke ʻi fē koe ʻi heʻeku ʻai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani? Fakahā mai, kapau ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae faʻa ʻilo.
5 Ngubani owabeka izilinganiso zawo, uba ukwazi? Kumbe ngubani owelulela intambo yokulinganisa phezu kwawo?
Ko hai naʻa ne ai hono ngaahi fuofua ʻo ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo? Pe ko hai naʻa ne falō ʻae afo ki ai?
6 Izisekelo zawo zamiswa phezu kwani? Kumbe ngubani owabeka ilitshe lawo lengonsi,
‌ʻOku fakamaʻu ki he hā ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo ia? Pe ko hai naʻa ne ʻai ʻa hono maka tuliki ʻo ia;
7 lapho inkanyezi zokusa zahlabela kanyekanye, lamadodana wonke kaNkulunkulu amemeza ngenjabulo?
‌ʻAia naʻe hiva fiefia fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe pongipongi, pea kalanga fakafiefia ai ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua?
8 Kumbe ngubani owavalela ulwandle ngezivalo, lapho lufohla luphuma esiswini,
“Pe ko hai naʻa ne tāpuni ʻae tahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi matapā, ʻi heʻene hā mai, ʻo hangē ko ʻene puna mei he manāva?
9 lapho ngimisa iyezi laba yisembatho salo, lomnyama onzima waba yimbeleko yalo?
‌ʻI heʻeku ngaohi ʻae ʻao ko e kofu ʻo ia, pea ko e fakapoʻuli matolu ko hono noʻo ʻoʻona.
10 Njalo ngaluqumela isimiso, ngamisa imigoqo lezivalo,
‌ʻO keli hake ʻae potu naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni ki ai, ʻo ʻai ki ai ʻae ngaahi pou mo e matapā.
11 ngathi: Uzafika kuze kube lapha, kodwa ungedluli, lalapha kuzamelana lokuzigqaja kwamagagasi akho.
Pea u pehē, ‘Te ke haʻu ki heni, pea ngata ai: pea ʻe lolomi ʻi heni hoʻo ngaahi peau laukau?’
12 Kusukela ensukwini zakho walawula ukusa yini, wenza ukudabuka kokusa ukuthi kwazi indawo yakho,
“Naʻa ke fekau ki he pongipongi talu hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho; pea pule ki he hengihengi ʻoe ʻaho ke ne ʻilo hono potu:
13 ukuthi kubambe imiphetho yomhlaba, ukuze kuthintithe ababi kuwo?
Koeʻuhi ke ne puke ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke tupeʻi mei ai ʻae kakai angahala.
14 Kuyaguquka njengebumba lophawu lokunamathisela, kuzimisa njengesembatho.
‌ʻOku liliu ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻumea ki he fakaʻilonga; pea ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻo hangē ko e kofu.
15 Lakwababi ukukhanya kwabo kuyagodlwa, lengalo ephakemeyo iyephulwa.
Ka ʻoku taʻofi mei he kau angahala ʻenau maama, pea ʻe fesiʻi ʻae nima māʻolunga.
16 Usungenile emithonjeni yolwandle yini, wahamba usiya le lale ekudingeni inziki?
“Naʻa ke hū koe ki he ngaahi matavai ʻoe tahi? Pe naʻa ke ʻeveʻeva ke kumi ʻae loloto?
17 Amasango okufa wawembulelwa yini, wawabona amasango ethunzi lokufa?
Naʻe toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate kiate koe? Pe naʻa ke mamata ʻe koe ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe malumalu ʻoe mate?
18 Uqedisisile yini kuze kube sebubanzini bomhlaba? Tshono uba ukwazi konke.
Naʻa ke ʻiloʻi ʻae māukupu ʻoe fonua? Fakahā ʻo kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo ia kotoa pē.
19 Ingaphi indlela lapho okuhlala khona ukukhanya? Lomnyama, ingaphi indawo yawo,
“Ko e fē ʻae hala ʻoku nofo ai ʻae maama? Pea ko e poʻuli, komaʻa ia ʻae potu ʻoʻona.
20 ukuze ukuse emngceleni wakho, lokuthi uqedisise izindlela zomuzi wakho?
Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻave ia ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona, pea koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi hala ki he fale ʻo ia?
21 Uyazi, ngoba wawusuzelwe, lenani lensuku zakho likhulu.
Kuo ke ʻilo ia, he naʻe fanauʻi koe ʻi he kuonga ko ia? Pe koeʻuhi kuo lahi hono lau ʻo ho ngaahi ʻaho?
22 Usungenile eziphaleni zeliqhwa elikhithikileyo yini, wabona iziphala zesiqhotho,
Naʻa ke hū koe ki he ngaahi faʻoakianga ʻoe ʻuha hinehina? Pe naʻa ke mamata koe ki he ngaahi faʻoakiʻanga ʻoe ʻuha maka,
23 engizigodle kuze kube yisikhathi sokuhlupheka, kuze kube lusuku lokulwa lolwempi?
‌ʻAia kuo u tuku ki he kuonga ʻoe fakamamahi, ki he ʻaho ʻoe fekeʻikeʻi mo e tau?
24 Ingaphi indlela lapho ukukhanya okwabiwa khona, umoya wempumalanga ohlakazeka khona emhlabeni?
‌ʻOku vahevahe fēfeeʻi ʻae maama, ʻaia ʻoku ne tufaki ke mamaʻo ʻae matangi hahake ʻi he fonua?
25 Ngubani owehlukanisela impophoma indlela yamanzi, lendlela yombane wemidumo,
Ko hai kuo ne vaheʻi ʻae tafeʻanga vai ki he mahuohua ʻoe ngaahi vai, pe ko e hala ki he ʻuhila ʻoe mana;
26 ukuthi line emhlabeni lapho okungelamuntu khona, enkangala okungelamuntu kuyo,
Koeʻuhi ke pule ke ʻuha ki he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata; ki he toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata;
27 ukusuthisa inkangala legwadule, lokuhlumisa ukuphuma kotshani?
Ke fakafiemālie ʻae kelekele lala mo liʻaki; ke fakatupu ʻae moto ʻoe ʻakau vaivai?
28 Izulu liloyise yini, kumbe ngubani owazala amathonsi amazolo?
Ko hai ʻae tamai ʻae ʻuha? Pe ko hai kuo ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi tulutā ʻoe hahau?
29 Ungqwaqwane waphuma esiswini sikabani? Njalo ngubani owazala iliqhwa lamazulu?
Naʻe haʻu ʻae vai fefeka mei he manāva ʻo hai? Pea ko hai naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae falositi hinehina ʻoe langi?
30 Amanzi afihlakele njengelitshe, lobuso bokujula bujiyile.
Kuo fufū ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ko e maka, pea kuo fakafefeka ʻae funga ʻoe loloto.
31 Ungazibopha yini izibopho zesiLimela, kumbe uthukulule intambo zeziNja?
“ʻOku ke faʻa puleʻi ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi mālohi melie ʻo Peliatisi, pe vete ʻae ngaahi haʻi ʻo Olioni?
32 Ungakhupha yini izinkanyezi ngesikhathi sazo? Ungakhokhela yini iBhere kanye labantwana balo?
‌ʻOku ke faʻa ʻomi ʻe koe ʻa Masaloti ʻi hono kuonga? Pe te ke faʻa fakahinohino ʻa ʻAakitulio mo hono ngaahi foha?
33 Uyazazi yini izimiso zamazulu, kumbe ungamisa umbuso wazo emhlabeni?
‌ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe langi? ʻOku ke faʻa fokotuʻu ʻene pule ki he fonua?
34 Ungaphakamisela yini ilizwi lakho emayezini, ukuthi ubunengi bamanzi bukusibekele?
“ʻOku ke faʻa hiki hake ʻe koe ho leʻo ki he ngaahi ʻao, koeʻuhi ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae ngaahi vai lahi?
35 Ungathuma yini imibane ukuthi ihambe, ithi kuwe: Khangela, silapha?
‌ʻOku ke faʻa fekau atu ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu, ʻonau pehē kiate koe, ‘Ko kimautolu eni?’
36 Ngubani owabeka inhlakanipho emibilini? Kumbe ngubani onike ukuqedisisa engqondweni?
Ko hai kuo ne ʻai ʻae poto ki he ngaahi potu ʻi loto? Pe ko hai kuo ne foaki ʻae faʻa ʻilo ki he loto?
37 Ngubani ongabala amayezi ngenhlakanipho? Njalo ngubani ongalalisa imbodlela zamazulu,
Ko hai ʻoku faʻa lau ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi he poto? Pe ko hai te ne faʻa taʻofi ʻae ngaahi hina ʻoe langi?
38 lapho uthuli luqina lube yizigaqa, lamagade anamathelane?
‌ʻOka tupu ʻo fefeka ʻae efu, pea piki fakataha ʻae tuʻutanga kelekele?
39 Ungasizingelela yini isilwane ukudla, kumbe usuthise ukulamba kwezilwane ezintsha,
“He te ke tuli ʻae meʻakai maʻae laione? Pe fakamākona ʻae fiekaia ʻoe fanga laione mui,
40 lapho zicathame emihomeni, zihlala esikhundleni ukuthi zicathame?
‌ʻOka nau ka tokoto ʻi honau ngaahi ʻana, pea nofo pe ʻo lama ʻi he potu lilo?
41 Ngubani olungisela iwabayi ukudla kwalo, lapho amaphuphu alo ekhala kuNkulunkulu, ezulazula ngoba kungelakudla?
Ko hai ʻoku ne tokonaki ʻae meʻakai ki he leveni, ʻoka tangi hono fānganga ki he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau hē ko e masiva kai?
