Izaga 14
1 Wonke owesifazana ohlakaniphileyo uyayakha indlu yakhe, kodwa oyisithutha uyayidiliza ngezandla zakhe.
ʻOku langa hake hono fale ʻe he fefine kotoa pē ʻoku poto: ka ʻoku holoki hifo ia ʻe he vale ʻaki hono nima.
2 Ohamba ngobuqotho bakhe wesaba iNkosi, kodwa ophambene ngendlela zakhe uyayidelela.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻene angatonu ʻoku manavahē ia kia Sihova: ka ko ia ʻoku pikopiko ʻi hono ngaahi hala ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate ia.
3 Emlonyeni wesithutha kulentonga yokuzigqaja, kodwa indebe zabahlakaniphileyo ziyabagcina.
ʻOku ai ʻae vaʻa ʻoe laukau ʻi he ngutu ʻoe vale: ka ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻae poto ʻe honau loungutu.
4 Lapho okungekho izinkabi khona umkolo uhlanzekile, kodwa kulesivuno esinengi ngamandla enkabi.
ʻI he potu ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fanga pulu ʻoku maʻa ai ʻae ʻaiʻanga kai: ka ʻoku ai ʻae tupu lahi ʻi he mālohi ʻoe pulu.
5 Umfakazi othembekileyo kaqambi amanga, kodwa umfakazi wamanga uphafuza amanga.
ʻE ʻikai faʻa loi ʻae fakamoʻoni angatonu: ka ʻe lea loi pe ʻae fakamoʻoni loi.
6 Odelelayo udinga inhlakanipho, kodwa kayikho; kodwa ulwazi lulula koqedisisayo.
ʻOku kumi ʻae poto ʻe he manuki, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia: ka ʻoku maʻungofua ʻae poto kiate ia ʻoku fakakaukau.
7 Suka phambi komuntu oyisithutha, nxa ungayikunanzelela kuye indebe zolwazi.
ʻAlu atu mei he ʻao ʻoe tangata vale, ʻoka ke ka mamata ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae loungutu ʻoe poto.
8 Inhlakanipho yokhaliphileyo yikuqedisisa indlela yakhe, kodwa ubuthutha bezithutha buyinkohliso.
Ko e poto eni ʻae fakamākukanga ke ne ʻilo pe hono hala: ka ko e vaʻinga ʻae vale ko e kākā ia.
9 Izithutha ziyakloloda ngesono, kodwa phakathi kwabaqotho kulomusa.
ʻOku manukiʻi ʻae angahala ʻe he kakai vale: ka ʻoku ai ʻae lelei ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
10 Inhliziyo iyazi ukubaba kwayo ngokwayo, lowemzini kahlanganyeli lentokozo yayo.
ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he loto ʻa ʻene mamahi ʻaʻana: pea ʻoku ʻikai ke kau ha taha kehe ʻi heʻene fiefia.
11 Indlu yabakhohlakeleyo izachithwa, kodwa ithente labaqotho lizahluma.
ʻE holoki hifo ʻae fale ʻoe angahala: ka ʻe maʻu pe ʻae lelei ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe angatonu.
12 Kukhona indlela ebonakala ilungile emuntwini, kodwa ukuphela kwayo zindlela zokufa.
ʻOku ai ʻae hala ʻoku matamata totonu ki he tangata, ka ko hono ngataʻanga ko e ngaahi hala ʻoe mate.
13 Lekuhlekeni inhliziyo isebuhlungwini, lokuphela kwaleyontokozo lusizi.
ʻI he lolotonga ʻae kata, ʻoku mamahi ai ʻae loto: pea ko e ikuʻanga ʻoe vākē ko ia ko e māfasia.
14 Ohlehlela nyovane ngenhliziyo uzasutha ngezindlela zakhe, kodwa umuntu olungileyo uzasutha ngaye ngokwakhe.
ʻE fakafonu ʻaia ʻoku fakaholomui ʻi loto ʻaki hono ngaahi hala ʻoʻona: pea ʻe mākona ʻae tangata angalelei meiate ia pe.
15 Ongelalwazi ukholwa lonke ilizwi, kodwa olengqondo unanzelela ukuhamba kwakhe.
ʻOku tui ʻe he taʻepoto ki he lea kotoa pē: ka ʻoku tokanga lahi ʻaia ʻoku anga fakapotopoto ki heʻene ʻalu.
16 Ohlakaniphileyo uyesaba, asuke ebubini, kodwa isithutha siyathukuthela, silitshapha.
ʻOku manavahē ʻae tangata poto, ʻo ne fakamamaʻo mei he kovi: ka ʻoku fakalili ʻae vale, mo faʻa polepole.
17 Ophangisa ukuthukuthela wenza ubuthutha, lomuntu wamacebo amabi uzazondwa.
ʻOku fai vale ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻita vave: pea ʻoku tupu ʻae fehiʻa ki he tangata ʻoku filioʻi kovi.
18 Abangelalwazi badla ilifa lobuthutha, kodwa abakhaliphileyo bazathwala umqhele wolwazi.
ʻOku maʻu ʻe he fakavalevale ʻae vale: ka ʻoku tatā ʻaki ʻae poto ʻaia ʻoku fakamākukanga.
19 Ababi bakhothama phambi kwabalungileyo, labakhohlakeleyo emasangweni abalungileyo.
ʻOku punou ʻae angakovi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe angalelei: pea mo e angahala ʻi he matapā ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
20 Umyanga uzondwa langumakhelwane wakhe, kodwa abathanda onothileyo banengi.
ʻOku fehiʻanekina ʻae tangata masiva ʻe hono kaungāʻapi: ka ʻoku toko lahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki he koloaʻia.
21 Odelela umakhelwane wakhe uyona, kodwa olomusa kubayanga ubusisiwe.
Ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono kaungāʻapi ko e fai hala ia: ka ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku angaʻofa ki he masiva.
22 Kabaduhi yini abaceba okubi? Kodwa umusa leqiniso ngokwalabo abaceba okuhle.
ʻIkai ʻoku hē ʻakinautolu ʻoku filioʻi kovi? Ka ʻe ʻoe kakai ʻoku filioʻi lelei ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
23 Kumtshikatshika wonke kulenzuzo, kodwa inkulumo yendebe ibanga inswelo kuphela.
ʻOku ai hono ʻaonga ʻoe ngāue kotoa pē: ka ko e faʻa lea ʻae loungutu ʻoku tupu ai ʻae masiva.
24 Umqhele wabahlakaniphileyo uyinotho yabo; ubuthutha bezithutha buyibuthutha.
Ko e koloa ʻae poto ko honau tatā ia: ka ko e fai vale ʻae vale ko honau vale ia.
25 Umfakazi oqinisileyo uyophula imiphefumulo, kodwa ophafuza amanga ungumkhohlisi.
ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻe he fakamoʻoni ʻoku moʻoni: ka ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae loi ʻe he fakamoʻoni loi.
26 Ekuyesabeni iNkosi kulethemba eliqinileyo, labantwana bakhe bazakuba lesiphephelo.
ʻOku ai ʻae falala mālohi ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova: pea ʻe maʻu ʻe heʻene fānau ʻae potu hūfanga.
27 Ukuyesaba iNkosi kungumthombo wempilo, ukusuka emijibileni yokufa.
Ko e manavahē kia Sihova ko e matavai ia ʻoe moʻui, ke tau hao ai mei he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate.
28 Lusebunengini babantu udumo lwenkosi, kodwa kusekuswelekeni kwabantu ukuchitheka kombusi.
ʻOku ongoongo lahi ha tuʻi ʻi he toko lahi ʻo hono kakai: ka ko e masiva kakai ko e vaivaiʻanga ia ʻoe houʻeiki.
29 Ophuza ukuthukuthela ulokuqedisisa okukhulu, kodwa ophangisa ukuzonda ukhulisa ubuthutha.
ʻOku poto lahi ia ʻaia ʻoku fakatuotuai ʻene ʻita: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻoho vave hono loto ʻoku fakahikihiki ʻe ia ʻae vale.
30 Inhliziyo ephilileyo iyimpilo yenyama, kodwa umhawu uyikubola kwamathambo.
Ko e loto angamalū ko e moʻui ia ʻae kakano: ka koe meheka koe fakapopo ia ʻoe ngaahi hui.
31 Ocindezela umyanga uthuka uMenzi wakhe, kodwa olomusa koswelayo uyamdumisa.
Ko ia ʻoku fakamālohiʻi ʻae masiva ʻoku manukiʻi ʻe ia ʻa hono Tupuʻanga: ka ko ia ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia, ʻoku angaʻofa ia ki he masiva.
32 Okhohlakeleyo uwiswa ebubini bakhe, kodwa olungileyo ulethemba ekufeni kwakhe.
ʻOku kapusi atu ʻae angakovi ʻi heʻene angahala: ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ʻi heʻene mate.
33 Inhlakanipho ihlala enhliziyweni yoqedisisayo, kodwa okuphakathi kwezithutha kuyaziwa.
ʻOku nofo ʻae poto ʻi he loto ʻo ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae faʻa ʻilo: ka ʻoku fakahā mai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he loto ʻoe kakai vale.
34 Ukulunga kuphakamisa isizwe, kodwa isono silihlazo ebantwini.
ʻOku hiki hake ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻae puleʻanga. ka ko e meʻa fakamā ʻae angahala ki he ngaahi puleʻanga.
35 Umusa wenkosi usencekwini ehlakaniphileyo, kodwa intukuthelo yayo izakuba kwethela ihlazo.
ʻOku ʻofeina ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻoku poto: ka ʻoku houhau ia kiate ia ʻoku tupu mei ai ʻae mā.
