Izaga 20
1 Iwayini liyisideleli; okunathwayo okulamandla kulomsindo; njalo wonke oduha kukho kahlakaniphanga.
Ko e meʻa manuki ʻae kava, pea ko e meʻa fakatupu lili ʻae kava mālohi: pea ko ia kuo kākaaʻi ʻaki ia ʻoku taʻepoto.
2 Ukwesabeka kwenkosi kunjengokubhonga kwebhongo lesilwane; oyithukuthelisayo wona umphefumulo wakhe.
Ko e tuputāmaki ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku hangē ko e ngungulu ʻae laione; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻene houhau ʻoku fai angahala ia ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
3 Kuludumo emuntwini ukuyekela inkani; kodwa sonke isiwula siyaziveza.
Ko e meʻa ongoongolelei ʻi ha tangata ke ne tuku ʻae kē: ka ʻoku fie kau ai ʻae vale kotoa pē.
4 Ngenxa yobusika ivila kaliyikulima; ngakho lizaphanza esivunweni, kodwa kungabi lalutho.
ʻOku ʻikai ke keli ʻae fakapikopiko koeʻuhi ko e momoko; ko ia te ne faʻa kole ai ʻi he ututaʻu, ka ʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa.
5 Iseluleko enhliziyweni yomuntu sinjengamanzi azikileyo, kodwa umuntu oqedisisayo uzasikha.
ʻOku hangē ko e vai loloto ʻae poto ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata; ka ʻe fusi hake ia ʻe he tangata faʻa fakakaukau.
6 Inengi labantu limemezela, lowo lalowo ukulunga kwakhe, kodwa ngubani ongathola umuntu othembekileyo?
ʻOku tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻoku taki taha viki ʻi heʻene lelei ʻaʻana: ka ko hai ʻoku ne faʻa ʻilo ki ha tangata angatonu.
7 Olungileyo uhamba ngobuqotho bakhe; babusisiwe abantwana bakhe emva kwakhe.
ʻOku ʻeveʻeva ʻae tangata angatonu ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni: ʻoku monūʻia ʻa ʻene fānau kimui ʻiate ia.
8 Inkosi ehlezi esihlalweni sesahlulelo ihlakaza bonke ububi ngamehlo ayo.
Ko e tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe fakamaau, ʻoku ne fakahēʻi ʻae kovi ʻaki hono fofonga.
9 Ngubani ongathi: Ngihlanzile inhliziyo yami, ngihlambulukile esonweni sami?
Ko hai ʻoku ne faʻa lea ʻo pehē, “Kuo u fakamaʻa hoku loto, ʻoku ou maʻa au mei heʻeku angahala?”
10 Amatshe ezilinganiso ezehlukeneyo, ama-efa ehlukeneyo, kuyisinengiso eNkosini, yebo kokubili.
Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa, mo e faikehekehe ʻi he fuofua meʻa, ʻoku fakatou fakalielia tatau kia Sihova.
11 Lomntwana uyazazisa ngezenzo zakhe, loba umsebenzi wakhe uhlanzekile kumbe loba uqotho.
Naʻa mo e tamasiʻi, ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻi heʻene faianga; pe ʻoku maʻa ʻene ngāue, pe ʻoku totonu ia.
12 Indlebe ezwayo lelihlo elibonayo, iNkosi yakwenza, yebo kokubili.
Kuo fakatou ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae telinga ke fanongo mo e mata ke sio ʻaki.
13 Ungathandi ubuthongo, hlezi ube ngumyanga; vula amehlo akho, usuthe isinkwa.
ʻOua naʻa ke manako ki he mohe, telia naʻa ke hoko ʻo masiva ai: ke ʻā pe ho mata, pea ʻe fakamākona koe ʻaki ʻae mā.
14 Kubi, kubi, kutsho umthengi; kodwa esehambile abesezincoma.
ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻoku fakatau, “Ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena, ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena,” ka ʻoka ʻalu ia ʻi hono hala, ʻoku ne toki polepole.
15 Kulegolide, lobunengi bamatshe aligugu, kodwa indebe zolwazi zingumceciso oligugu.
ʻOku ai ʻae koula, pea taʻefaʻalaua ʻae ngaahi maka koloa; ka ko e teunga mahuʻinga ʻae loungutu ʻoe poto.
16 Thatha isembatho sakhe oyisibambiso sowemzini, umbambe abe yisibambiso sabezizwe.
Ke toʻo pe ʻae kofu ʻoʻona ʻoku tongia ha taha ʻoku taʻeʻiloʻi: pea ke maʻu mei ai ʻae tuku paʻanga ko e langomekina ʻoe fefine muli.
17 Isinkwa samanga simnandi emuntwini, kodwa emva kwalokho umlomo wakhe uzagcwaliswa ngokhethe.
Ko e mā ʻoku maʻu ʻi he kākā ʻoku ifoifo lelei ki he tangata: ka ʻe toki fakafonu kimui ʻa hono ngutu ʻaki ʻae pata.
18 Imicabango uyimisa ngeseluleko; ngakho yenza impi ngamaqhinga amahle.
ʻOku tuʻumaʻu ʻae tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē ʻi he fakakaukau: pea ka hoko ʻae tau, ke tomuʻa fakakaukau lelei ki ai.
19 Ohambahamba enyeya wembula imfihlakalo; ngakho ungahlangani lokhohlisa ngendebe zakhe.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻalu fano ko e faʻa fafana ʻoku fakahā ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tala fufū: ko ia ʻoua naʻa ke kau kiate ia ʻoku faʻa lapu ʻaki hono loungutu.
20 Othuka uyise loba unina, isibane sakhe sizacitshwa ebumnyameni obumnyama.
Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kape ki heʻene tamai pe ki heʻene faʻē, ʻe tāmateʻi ke mate ʻa hono maama ʻi he fakapoʻuli ʻoe ʻuliʻuli.
21 Ilifa lingaphangisiswa ekuqaleni, kodwa ukucina kwalo kakuyikubusiswa.
ʻE faʻa maʻu fakavave ha tofiʻa ʻi he kamataʻanga: ka e ʻikai fakamonūʻia ia ʻi hono ikuʻanga.
22 Ungathi: Ngizaphindisela okubi; lindela iNkosi, njalo izakusindisa.
ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ʻe koe, “Te u totongi ʻeau ki he kovi;” ka ke tatali pe kia Sihova, pea te ne fakamoʻui koe.
23 Amatshe ezilinganiso ezehlukeneyo ayisinengiso eNkosini, lesikali esikhohlisayo kasilunganga.
Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa, koe fakalielia ia kia Sihova: pea ko e meʻa fakamamafa kākā ʻoku ʻikai lelei ia.
24 Izinyathelo zomuntu zivela eNkosini; pho, umuntu angaqedisisa njani indlela yakhe?
ʻOku pule pe ʻa Sihova ki he tangata ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga: pea ko ia, ʻe faʻa ʻiloʻi fēfē ʻe he tangata ʻa hono hala ʻoʻona?
25 Kungumjibila emuntwini ukuginya okungcwele, lokuhlolisisa emva kwezifungo.
Ko e kai ʻoe meʻa ʻoku tapu ko e tauhele ia ki he tangata kuo ne fai ia: pea ʻoku pehē foki ʻae fai ʻoe fuakava, kae toki fehuʻi kimui ki hono ʻuhinga.
26 Inkosi ehlakaniphileyo ihlakaza ababi, ibuyisela ivili phezu kwabo.
ʻOku fakamovetevete ʻae angahala ʻe he tuʻi ʻoku poto; ʻo ne taʻomi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae meʻa teka.
27 Umphefumulo womuntu uyisibane seNkosi, sihlolisisa wonke amakamelo esisu.
Ko e laumālie ʻoe tangata ko e maama ia meia Sihova, ʻoku fakamaama ʻae potu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate ia.
28 Umusa leqiniso kuyayigcina inkosi, isekela isihlalo sayo sobukhosi ngokulunga.
ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻae tuʻi ʻe he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni: pea ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu hono nofoʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.
29 Udumo lwejaha lungamandla alo, lobukhosi babadala yizimvu zekhanda.
Ko e toulekeleka ʻoe kau talavou ʻa honau mālohi: pea ko e meʻa matamatalelei ʻi he kau mātuʻa ko honau ʻuluhinā.
30 Imivimvinya yenxeba ihlanza ububi, ngokunjalo izidutshuzo zamakamelo esisu.
Ko e lavea ʻoku toka ʻuli ko e faitoʻo ia ki he kovi: ʻoku pehē foki hono ʻaonga ʻoe tautea ki he ngaahi potu ʻi loto.
