Izaga 16
1 Umuntu ulamacebo enhliziyo, kodwa impendulo yolimi ivela eNkosini.
ʻOku meia Sihova ʻae teuteu ʻoe loto ʻi he tangata, pea mo e tali ʻoe ʻelelo.
2 Zonke indlela zomuntu zihlanzekile emehlweni akhe, kodwa iNkosi ilinganisa imimoya.
ʻOku maʻa ʻae hala kotoa pē ʻoe tangata ki hono mata ʻoʻona; ka ʻoku fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi laumālie.
3 Giqela eNkosini imisebenzi yakho, lamacebo akho azaqiniswa.
Tuku kia Sihova hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ai hoʻo ngaahi mahalo.
4 INkosi izenzele konke, lomubi laye usuku lobubi.
Kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa kotoa pē maʻana: ʻio, naʻa mo e kau angahala ki he ʻaho ʻoe kovi.
5 Wonke ozigqajayo ngenhliziyo uyisinengiso eNkosini; isandla esandleni, kayikuyekelwa engajeziswanga.
ʻOku fakalielia kia Sihova ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku loto fielahi: pea kapau ʻe puke ʻae nima ki he nima, ʻe ʻikai taʻehoko hono tautea.
6 Ngomusa leqiniso isono siyahlawulelwa, langokuyesaba iNkosi umuntu uyasuka ebubini.
ʻOku fakamaʻa mei he angahala ʻe he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni: pea ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova ʻoku tafoki ai ʻae tangata mei he kovi.
7 Nxa indlela zomuntu zithokozisa iNkosi, iyenza lezitha zakhe zibe lokuthula laye.
ʻOka lelei kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoe tangata, ʻoku ne pule ki hono ngaahi fili ke nau fakalelei mo ia.
8 Okulutshwana kanye lokulunga kungcono kulobunengi benzuzo engelakulunga.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae meʻa siʻi mo e māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he maʻu ʻae koloa lahi ʻi he taʻetotonu.
9 Inhliziyo yomuntu iceba indlela yakhe, kodwa iNkosi iqondisa inyathelo lakhe.
ʻOku fili ʻe he loto ʻoe tangata ki hono hala: ka ʻoku fakahinohino ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene ngaahi laka.
10 Isinqumo sikaNkulunkulu sisendebeni zenkosi; umlomo wayo kawuyikuphambeka kusahlulelo.
ʻOku haʻu mei he loungutu ʻoe tuʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻoku totonu: ʻoku ʻikai fai hala hono ngutu ʻi heʻene fai ʻae fakamaau.
11 Isikali lesilinganiso esilungileyo kungokweNkosi; wonke amatshe okulinganisa omgodla angumsebenzi wayo.
Ko e meʻa fakamamafa mo e meʻa fakatatau totonu ʻoku meia Sihova ia: ko e maka fakamamafa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he kato ko ʻene ngāue ia.
12 Kuyisinengiso emakhosini ukwenza okubi, ngoba isihlalo sobukhosi simiswa ngokulunga.
Ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae fai angahala ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: he ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻa ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
13 Indebe zokulunga ziyintokozo yamakhosi; iyathanda okhuluma izinto eziqondileyo.
Ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻae loungutu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate ia ʻoku lea totonu.
14 Ulaka lombusi luyizithunywa zokufa, kodwa umuntu ohlakaniphileyo uzaluthulisa.
Ko e tuputāmaki ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku tatau ia mo e ngaahi talafekau ʻae mate: ka ʻe lolomi ia ʻe he tangata ʻoku poto.
15 Ekukhanyeni kobuso benkosi kulempilo, lomusa wayo unjengeyezi lezulu lamuva.
ʻI he maama ʻoe fofonga ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku ai ʻae moʻui; pea ko ʻene ʻofa ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻao ʻoe ʻuha mui.
16 Kungcono kangakanani ukuzuza inhlakanipho kulegolide; lokuzuza ukuqedisisa kukhethwa kulesiliva.
He ʻikai ʻoku lelei hake ʻae maʻu ʻoe poto ʻi he maʻu ʻoe koula? Pea ʻikai ʻoku lelei hake ʻae maʻu ʻae faʻa ʻilo ʻi he fili ki he siliva?
17 Umgwaqo omkhulu wabaqotho yikusuka ebubini; olondoloza umphefumulo wakhe unanzelela indlela yakhe.
Ko e hala motuʻa ʻoe angatonu ko ʻenau afe mei he kovi: ko ia ʻoku tauhi ki hono hala ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe ia hono laumālie.
18 Ukuzigqaja kuqalela ukubhujiswa, lokuziphakamisa komoya kuqalela ukuwa.
ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻae fielahi ʻi he fakaʻauha, pea mo e loto angahiki ʻi he hoko ʻae hinga.
19 Kungcono ukuthobeka ngomoya kanye labamnene, kulokwabelana impango labazigqajayo.
ʻOku lelei lahi hake ia ke loto angavaivai mo e kakai angavaivai, ʻi he vahevahe ha koloa kuo maʻu mo e fielahi.
20 Ophatha udaba ngenhlakanipho uzathola okuhle; lothemba eNkosini uyathaba.
ʻE maʻu ʻae lelei ʻe ia ʻoku tokanga fakapotopoto ki ha meʻa: pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku falala kia Sihova.
21 Ohlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo kuthiwa ngoqedisisayo; lobumnandi bendebe bandisa imfundiso.
ʻE ui ʻakinautolu ʻoku loto poto ko e fakamākukanga; pea ʻoku tupu ʻae poto mei he loungutu ʻoku melie.
22 Ukuqedisisa kwabalakho kungumthombo wempilo, kodwa ukulaya kwezithutha kuyibuthutha.
Ko e faʻa ʻilo ko e matavai ia ʻoe moʻui kiate ia ʻoku maʻu ia: ka ko e akonaki mei he vale ko e vale pe ia.
23 Ingqondo yohlakaniphileyo yenza umlomo wakhe uhlakaniphe, izakwandisa imfundiso endebeni zakhe.
ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he loto ʻoe poto ʻa hono ngutu, pea ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae poto ki hono loungutu.
24 Amazwi amnandi aluhlanga loluju, amnandi emphefumulweni, ayimpiliso emathanjeni.
ʻOku tatau mo e ngeʻesi ʻoe hone ʻae lea mālie, ʻi hono huʻa melie ki he laumālie, pea ko e moʻui ia ki he ngaahi hui.
25 Kukhona indlela ebonakala iqondile emuntwini, kodwa ukuphela kwayo zindlela zokufa.
ʻOku ai ʻae hala ʻoku matamata totonu ki he tangata, ka ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona ko e ngaahi hala ki he mate.
26 Indlala yomtshikatshiki iyazitshikatshikela, ngoba umlomo wakhe uyamkhuthaza.
Ko ia ʻoku ngaue ʻoku ngāue maʻana: he ʻoku tangi ai kiate ia ʻa hono ngutu.
27 Umuntu omubi ugebha ububi; lendebeni zakhe kulokunjengomlilo otshisayo.
ʻOku keli hake ʻae kovi ʻe he tangata angakovi: pea ʻoku ʻi hono loungutu ʻae afi kakaha.
28 Umuntu ophambeneyo ungenisa ingxabano, lonyeyayo wehlukanisa umngane oseduze.
ʻOku tūtuuʻi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻae feʻiteʻitani: pea ʻoku fakamāvae ʻe he tangata faʻa fafana ʻae kaumeʻa feʻofoʻofani.
29 Umuntu wobudlwangudlwangu uhuga umakhelwane wakhe, amhambise ngendlela engalunganga.
ʻOku fakahalaʻi ʻe he tangata ʻoku angamālohi ʻa hono kāinga, ʻo ne tataki ia ki he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei.
30 Uvala amehlo akhe ukuceba izinto eziphambeneyo, eluma indebe zakhe aqede ububi.
ʻOku ne fakamohe hono mata koeʻuhi ke ne fakakaukau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kovi: ʻi he ngāue ʻa hono loungutu ʻoku hoko ai ʻae kovi.
31 Izimvu zekhanda zingumqhele wodumo; zitholakala endleleni yokulunga.
Ko e ʻuluhinā ko e tatā ia ʻoe ongoongolelei, ʻo ʻilo ia ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
32 Ophuza ukuthukuthela ungcono kuleqhawe, lobusa umoya wakhe kulothumba umuzi.
Ko ia ʻoku fakatotoka ki he ʻita ʻoku lelei hake ia ʻi ha taha ʻoku mālohi; pea pehē foki ia ʻoku faʻa pule ki hono loto ʻi ha taha ʻoku hamu ha kolo.
33 Inkatho iphoselwa ethangazini, kodwa isinqumo sayo sonke sivela eNkosini.
ʻOku lī ki he loto kofu ʻae talotalo; ka ʻoku ʻia Sihova, ʻa hono fakamaauʻi.
