1 Njengoba abanengi sebebeke izandla ukubeka ngendlela efaneleyo ukulandiswa kwezinto eziqiniseke ngokupheleleyo phakathi kwethu,
Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe he tokolahi ke tohi fakaholo hono fakamatala ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku tui moʻoni ki ai ʻiate kitautolu,
2 njengalokhu basinika labo ababonayo ngamehlo ekuqaleni njalo bezinceku zelizwi,
ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tuku mai kiate kitautolu, ʻekinautolu naʻe mamata pau [ki ai], pea hoko ko e kau faifekau ʻoe folofola, talu hono kamataʻanga;
3 kukhanye kukuhle lakimi, sengizihlolisisile zonke izinto kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi ngikubhalele ngokulandelana, mhlekazi Teyofilu,
ʻE Tiofilusi lelei, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kumi fakatotolo ki he meʻa kotoa pē talu hano kamataʻanga, ʻoku ou loto ai ke u tohi fakaholo atu ia kiate koe,
4 ukuze wazi iqiniso ngalezozinto ozifundisiweyo.
Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia, ʻaia kuo akonekina ai koe.
5 Ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi yeJudiya kwakukhona umpristi othile othiwa nguZakariya, oweqembu likaAbhiya; lomkakhe wayevela kumadodakazi kaAroni, lebizo lakhe linguElizabethi.
NAʻE ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Helota, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siutea, ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻe taha, ʻi he lakanga ʻo ʻApia, ko Sakalaia hono hingoa: pea ko hono uaifi naʻe mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻElone, pea ko ʻIlisapeti hono hingoa.
6 Njalo babelungile bobabili phambi kukaNkulunkulu, behamba ngayo yonke imilayo lezimiso zeNkosi, bengasoleki.
Pea naʻa na angatonu fakatouʻosi pe he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo na ʻalu taʻehala ʻi he ngaahi fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē ʻae ʻEiki.
7 Njalo babengelamntwana, ngoba uElizabethi wayeyinyumba, basebeleminyaka eminengi bobabili.
Pea naʻe ʻikai haʻana tama, koeʻuhi naʻe paʻa ʻa ʻIlisapeti, pea kuo na motuʻa fakatouʻosi pe.
8 Kwasekusithi esenza inkonzo yobupristi phambi kukaNkulunkulu esesimisweni seqembu lakibo,
Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene fai ki he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he lakanga ʻo hono vahe,
9 ngomkhuba wenkonzo yobupristi, nguye owadliwa yinkatho yokutshisa impepha esengene ethempelini leNkosi.
Ko hono lakanga, ʻo hangē ko hono anga ʻoe ngāue fakataulaʻeiki, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu lelei ʻi heʻene hū ki he potu tapu ʻae ʻEiki.
10 Njalo ixuku lonke labantu lalikhuleka ngaphandle ngesikhathi sokutshisa impepha.
Pea naʻe lotu ʻae fuʻu kakai kotoa pē ʻituʻa, ʻi he lolotonga [ʻae tutu ]ʻoe ʻakau namu lelei.
11 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, imi ngakwesokunene selathi lempepha.
Pea naʻe hā mai kiate ia ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he potu fakatoʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau ʻoe ʻakau namu lelei.
12 Kwathi uZakariya eyibona waqhuqha, lokwesaba kwawela phezu kwakhe.
Pea tāfuʻua ʻa Sakalaia ʻi heʻene mamata [ki ai], pea tō kiate ia ʻae manavahē.
13 Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye: Ungesabi Zakariya; ngoba umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lomkakho uElizabethi uzakuzalela indodana, njalo uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJohane.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate ia, “Sakalaia, ʻoua te ke manavahē, he kuo tau hoʻo lotu; pea ʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe ho uaifi ko ʻIlisapeti, ʻae tama kiate koe, pea te ke ui hono hingoa ko Sione.
14 Futhi uzakuba lenjabulo lentokozo, labanengi bazakujabulela ukuzalwa kwakhe.
Pea te ke maʻu ai ʻae fiefia mo e nekeneka; pea ʻe fiefia ʻae tokolahi ʻi heʻene fanauʻi.
15 Ngoba uzakuba mkhulu phambi kweNkosi, iwayini kanye lokunathwayo okulamandla kasoze akunathe, futhi uzagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela esesesiswini sikanina.
Koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne inu ʻae uaine pe ha inu fakakona; pea ʻe fonu ia ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻio, mei he manāva ʻo ʻene faʻē.
16 Labanengi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uzabaphendulela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo;
Pea ʻe fakatafoki ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻEiki ko honau ʻOtua.
17 njalo yena uzahamba phambi kwayo emoyeni lemandleni kaElija, ukuphendulela inhliziyo zaboyise kubantwana, labangalaleliyo ekuhlakanipheni kwabalungileyo, ukulungiselela iNkosi isizwe esilungisiweyo.
Pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate ia ʻi he anga mo e mālohi ʻo ʻIlaisiā, ‘Ke fakatafoki ʻae loto ʻoe mātuʻa ki he fānau,’ mo e talangataʻa ki he poto ʻoe angatonu; ke teuʻi ʻae kakai ke lelei maʻae ʻEiki.”
18 UZakariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Ngizakwazi ngani lokhu? Ngoba mina ngilixhegu, lomkami useleminyaka eminengi.
Pea pehē ʻe Sakalaia ki he ʻāngelo, “Te u ʻilo ʻi he hā ʻae meʻa ni? He ko e tangata motuʻa au, pea kuo lahi ʻae taʻu ʻo hoku uaifi.”
19 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: NginguGabriyeli mina, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; njalo ngithunyiwe ukukhuluma lawe, lokukubikela lezizindaba ezinhle.
Pea lea ʻae ʻāngelo, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko au Kepaleli, ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua; pea kuo fekau au ke u lea kiate koe, mo fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakafiefia ni.
20 Njalo khangela, uzakuba yisimungulu njalo wehluleke ukukhuluma, kuze kube lusuku okuzakwenzeka ngalo lezizinto, ngenxa yokuthi ungakholwanga amazwi ami, azagcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.
Pea vakai, te ke noa koe, ʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa lea, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻe hoko ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo taʻetui ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻaia ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi hono kuonga.”
21 Labantu babemlindele uZakariya; bamangala ngokuphuza kwakhe ethempelini.
Pea naʻe tatali ʻae kakai kia Sakalaia, pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene tuai mai mei he potu tapu.
22 Kuthe esephuma wehluleka ukukhuluma labo; njalo bazi ukuthi ubone umbono ethempelini; njalo yena wayesebaqhweba, wahlala eyisimungulu.
Pea kuo haʻu ia kituʻa, pea ʻikai te ne faʻa lea kiate kinautolu: pea nau ʻilo ai kuo hā mai ha meʻa kiate ia ʻi he potu tapu: he naʻe kamokamo ia kiate kinautolu, pea taʻelea.
23 Kwasekusithi seziphelile insuku zokukhonza kwakhe, waya endlini yakhe.
Pea pehē, ʻi he [toki ]hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene ngāue, naʻe ʻalu ia ki hono fale.
24 Kwathi emva kwalezonsuku uElizabethi umkakhe wathatha isisu, wazifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu, esithi:
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe tuituʻia ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻIlisapeti, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he lilo, ʻi he māhina ʻe nima, ʻo ne pehē,
25 Yenze kanje kimi iNkosi ensukwini eyangikhangela ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.
“Kuo fai pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate [au], ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa ne vakaiʻi [au], ke toʻo [ʻiate au ]hoku manukiʻanga ʻi he kakai.”
26 Kwathi ngenyanga yesithupha ingilosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini weGalili othiwa yiNazaretha,
Pea ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ʻāngelo ko Kepaleli ki he kolo ʻe taha ʻi Kāleli, ko Nāsaleti hono hingoa,
27 entombini eyayigane indoda, ebizo layo lalinguJosefa, eyendlu kaDavida; lebizo lentombi linguMariya.
ki ha tāupoʻou ʻi he fale ʻo Tevita, kuo fakanofo ki he tangata naʻe hingoa ko Siosefa; pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tāupoʻou ko Mele.
28 Ingilosi yasingena kuye yathi: Ekuhle, wena othandiweyo! INkosi ilawe, ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana.
Pea haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Siʻotoʻofa, ʻoku ke ʻofeina lahi, ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻEiki: ʻoku ke monūʻia ʻi he fefine [fulipē].”
29 Kwathi eseyibonile wethuswa kakhulu yilizwi layo, wanakana ukuthi yikubingelela okunjani lokhu.
Pea kuo mamata ia [ki ai], pea tāfuʻua ia ʻi heʻene lea, mo ne fifili ʻi hono loto, pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fetapa ko ia.
30 Ingilosi yasisithi kuye: Ungesabi, Mariya; ngoba uthole uthando kuNkulunkulu.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate ia, “Mele, ʻoua ʻe manavahē: he ʻoku ke ʻofeina mei he ʻOtua.
31 Njalo khangela, uzathatha isisu, uzale indodana, uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJesu.
Pea vakai, te ke tuituʻia ʻi [ho ]manāva, pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea ke ui hono huafa ko Sisu.
32 Yena uzakuba mkhulu, uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke; futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu izamnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavida,
Pea ʻe lahi ia, pea ʻe ui ia ko e ʻAlo ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga; ʻe ange kiate ia ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻae nofoʻa ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita:
33 njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube nininini, langombuso wakhe kawuzukuba lokuphela. (aiōn )
Pea ʻe pule ia ki he fale ʻo Sēkope ʻo taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ʻene pule.” (aiōn )
34 UMariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Lokhu kungenzeka njani, njengoba ngingazi indoda?
Pea pehē ʻe Mele ki he ʻāngelo, “ʻE fēfē ai ʻae meʻa ni, heʻeku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ha tangata?”
35 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, lamandla oPhezukonke azakwembesa; ngakho lalokhu okungcwele okuzazalwa nguwe kuzakuthiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Pea lea ʻae ʻāngelo, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE hoko mai ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate koe, pea ʻe fakamalū koe ʻe he mālohi ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga; pea ko ia foki ʻe ui ai ʻae hako māʻoniʻoni te ke fāʻeleʻi ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.
36 Njalo khangela, isinini sakho uElizabethi, laye ukhulelwe yindodana ebudaleni bakhe; lale yinyanga yesithupha kuye obekuthiwa uyinyumba.
Pea vakai, ko ho kāinga ko ʻIlisapeti, kuo tuituʻia ia ʻi he tama ʻi heʻene motuʻa: pea ko hono ono mahina eni ʻo ia naʻe ui koe paʻa.
37 Ngoba kuNkulunkulu kakulalutho oluzakwehlula.
He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe faingataʻa ki he ʻOtua.”
38 UMariya wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yeNkosi; kakube kimi njengelizwi lakho. Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
Pea pehē ʻe Mele, “Vakai, ko e kaunanga [au ]ʻae ʻEiki; ke hoko mai kiate au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻiate ia.”
39 Ngalezonsuku uMariya wasesukuma waya ezintabeni ngokuphangisa, emzini weJuda,
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Mele, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ʻalu fakavave ki he fonua moʻunga, ki ha kolo ʻo Siuta;
40 wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela uElizabethi.
Pea naʻe hū ia ki he fale ʻo Sakalaia, ʻo fetapa kia ʻIlisapeti.
41 Kwasekusithi uElizabethi ezwe ukubingelela kukaMariya, inkonyane yeqa esiswini sakhe; loElizabethi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele,
Pea naʻe pehē, kuo fanongo ʻa ʻIlisapeti ki he fetapa ʻa Mele, pea hopohopo ʻae tama ʻi hono manāva; pea fakafonu ʻa ʻIlisapeti ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni:
42 wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana, njalo sibusisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho!
Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ke monūʻia koe ʻi he fefine [kotoa pē ]pea ʻoku monūʻia mo e fua ʻo ho manāva.
43 Kanti kuvela ngaphi lokhu kimi, ukuthi unina weNkosi yami eze kimi?
Pea ʻoku fēfē nai eni kiate au, koeʻuhi kuo haʻu ʻae faʻē ʻa hoku ʻEiki kiate au?
44 Ngoba khangela, kuthe ilizwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika endlebeni zami, umntwana weqa esiswini sami ngokuthokoza.
Pea vakai, kuo ongo leva ʻae leʻo ʻa hoʻo fetapa ki hoku telinga, pea hopohopo fiefia ʻae tama ʻi hoku manāva.
45 Futhi ubusisiwe okholiweyo, ngoba kuzagcwaliseka lezozinto ezakhulunywa kuye yiNkosi.
Pea ʻoku monūʻia ʻaia kuo tui: koeʻuhi ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻaia naʻe fakahā kiate ia mei he ʻEiki.”
46 UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayikhulisa iNkosi,
Pea pehē ʻe Mele, “ʻOku fakahikihiki ʻae ʻEiki ʻe hoku laumālie,
47 lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,
Pea ʻoku fiefia hoku laumālie ʻi he ʻOtua ko hoku fakamoʻui.
48 ngoba ukhangele ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe. Ngoba khangela, kusukela khathesi zonke izizukulwana zizakuthi ngibusisiwe.
He kuo ne vakai ʻe ia ʻae vaivai ʻa ʻene kaunanga: Vakai, ngata mei he ʻaho ni ʻe ui au ko e monūʻia ʻe he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
49 Ngoba yena olamandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele lebizo lakhe,
He ko ia ʻoku māfimafi kuo ne fai kiate au ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi; pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni hono huafa.
50 lesihawu sakhe sikusizukulwana ngesizukulwana kulabo abamesabayo.
Pea ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa Mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
51 Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; uhlakazile abazigqajayo ekunakaneni kwenhliziyo zabo.
Kuo fakahā mai ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ʻo hono nima; Pea kuo veteki ʻe ia ʻae laukau ʻi he ngaoʻi ʻa honau loto.
52 Wehlisile iziphathamandla ezihlalweni zobukhosi, kodwa uphakamisile abantukazana.
Kuo fakahifo ʻe ia ʻae mālohi mei he ngaahi nofoʻanga, Pea kuo ne hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe māʻulalo.
53 Abalambileyo ubasuthise ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo wabamukisa beze.
Kuo fakamākona ʻe ia ʻae fiekaia, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei; Ka ne tekeʻi atu ʻae maʻumeʻa ke masiva.
54 Umsizile uIsrayeli inceku yakhe, ngokukhumbula isihawu,
Kuo tokoni ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻIsileli, ʻI heʻene manatu ki he ʻaloʻofa;
55 njengoba watsho kubobaba bethu, kuAbrahama, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini. (aiōn )
Kia ʻEpalahame, mo hono hako ʻo lauikuonga, ʻO hangē ko ʻene lea ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai.” (aiōn )
56 UMariya wasehlala laye okungaba zinyanga ezintathu, wasebuyela endlini yakhe.
Pea naʻa na nonofo mo Mele ʻi he māhina nai ʻe tolu, pea [toki ]ʻalu ia ki hono fale.
57 Isikhathi sikaElizabethi sokuthi abelethe sesiphelele, wasebeletha indodana.
Pea kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho ke fāʻele ai ʻa ʻIlisapeti; pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama.
58 Abakhelene laye lezinini zakhe basebesizwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu sayo saba sikhulu kuye, basebethokoza laye.
Pea fanongo ʻa hono kaungāʻapi mo hono kāinga, kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ʻaloʻofa lahi kiate ia; pea nau fiefia mo ia.
59 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, beza ukuzasoka usane; balubiza ngebizo likayise ngokuthi nguZakariya.
Pea pehē, ʻi hono ʻaho valu naʻa nau omi ke kamu ʻae tamasiʻi; pea naʻa nau ui ia ko Sakalaia, ʻo hangē ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene tamai.
60 Kodwa unina waphendula wathi: Hatshi bo, kodwa luzathiwa nguJohane.
Pea leaange ʻene faʻē, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai, kae ui ia ko Sione.”
61 Basebesithi kuye: Kakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngalelibizo.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai hao kāinga ʻoku ui ʻi he hingoa ko ia.”
62 Basebeqhweba uyise, ukuthi angathanda ukuthi lubizwe ngokuthini.
Pea nau kamokamo ki heʻene tamai, pe ko e hā hono loto ke ui ia.
63 Wasecela into yokubhalela, wabhala, esithi: NguJohane ibizo lalo; basebemangala bonke.
Pea ne meʻa ke ʻomi ʻae tohiʻanga, pea tohi ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko Sione hono hingoa.” Pea naʻa nau ofo ai kotoa pē.
64 Njalo wahle wavulwa umlomo wakhe lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphululwa, wasekhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
Pea matoʻo leva hono ngutu, pea mo hono ʻelelo, pea lea ia ʻo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
65 Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke abakhelene labo; njalo kwakhulunywa ngazo zonke lezizinto kulo lonke elezintabeni zeJudiya,
Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē ki he kakai kotoa pē naʻa nau nonofo ʻi he potu ko ia: pea naʻe ongoongoa ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻi he fonua moʻunga kotoa pē ʻo Siutea.
66 labo bonke abazizwayo bazilondoloza ezinhliziyweni zabo, besithi: Kambe lolusane luzakuba njani? Njalo isandla seNkosi sasilalo.
Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau fifili ʻi honau loto, mo pehē, “ʻE fēfē nai ʻae anga ʻae tama ni!” Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki.
67 LoZakariya uyise wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha, esithi:
Pea naʻe fakafonu ʻa ʻene tamai ko Sakalaia ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea kikite ia, ʻo pehē,
68 Ibusisiwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngoba ihambele yasenzela inkululeko isizwe sayo,
“Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; He kuo ne ʻaʻahi mo huhuʻi ʻa hono kakai,
69 yasivusela uphondo losindiso endlini kaDavida inceku yayo,
Pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ʻoe fakamoʻui kiate kitautolu, ʻI he fale ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita;
70 njengalokho yakhuluma ngomlomo wabaprofethi bayo abangcwele kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba, (aiōn )
ʻO hangē ko ʻene folofola ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau palōfita māʻoniʻoni, Naʻe ai talu ʻae tupuʻanga ʻo māmani: (aiōn )
71 isikhulula ezitheni zethu, lesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo;
Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei hotau ngaahi fili, Mo e nima ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kitautolu;
72 ukwenzela obaba bethu isihawu, lokukhumbula isivumelwano sayo esingcwele,
Ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki heʻetau mātuʻa, Mo manatu ki heʻene fuakava māʻoniʻoni;
73 isifungo eyasifunga kubaba wethu uAbrahama,
ʻAe fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ʻaki ki heʻetau tamai ko ʻEpalahame,
74 ukusinika, ukuthi sesikhululiwe esandleni sezitha zethu, siyikhonze singelakwesaba,
Ke tuku ʻe ia kiate kitautolu, Ke tau hao mei he nima ʻo hotau ngaahi fili, Pea tau tauhi ia taʻemanavahē,
75 ngobungcwele langokulunga phambi kwayo zonke izinsuku zempilo yethu.
ʻI he māʻoniʻoni mo e angatonu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻetau moʻui.
76 Lawe-ke, sane, uzabizwa ngokuthi ungumprofethi woPhezukonke; ngoba uzahamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo;
Pea ko koe, ʻe tama, ʻe ui koe ko e palōfita ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga: He te ke muʻomuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ke teuteu hono hala;
77 lokunika isizwe sayo ulwazi losindiso ngothethelelo lwezono zabo,
Ke fakaʻilo ʻae fakamoʻui ki hono kakai ʻi he fakamolemole ʻo ʻenau hia,
78 ngesihelo sikaNkulunkulu wethu, okuthi ngaso ukusa kwaphezulu kusethekelele,
Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻa hotau ʻOtua; ʻAia kuo hoko mei ai ʻae hengihengi ʻoe ʻaho mei ʻolunga kiate kitautolu,
79 ukubakhanyisela abahlezi emnyameni lethunzini lokufa, ukuqondisa inyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula.
Ke fakamaama kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fakapoʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate, Ke fakahinohino hotau vaʻe ki he hala ʻoe fiemālie.”
80 Wakhula-ke umntwana omncane, waqina emoyeni, waba sezinkangala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubonakala kwakhe kuIsrayeli.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tama, pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo mālohi ʻi he laumālie, pea naʻa ne ʻi he toafa ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻa ne fakahā ai ia ki ʻIsileli.
