Izaga 22
1 Ibizo elihle likhethekile kulenotho enengi; isisa esihle kulesiliva njalo kulegolide.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae fili ki he hingoa ʻoku ongolelei ʻi he fili ki he koloa lahi, pea lelei hake ke ʻofeina ʻi he maʻu ʻae siliva mo e koula.
2 Onothileyo lomyanga bayahlangana; iNkosi yabenza bonke.
ʻOku nofo fakataha ʻae koloaʻia mo e masiva: ko Sihova, naʻa ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
3 Ohlakaniphileyo ubona ububi acatshe, kodwa abangelalwazi bayaqhubeka babesebejeziswa.
ʻOku sio mamaʻo atu ʻae tangata fakapotopoto ki he kovi, ʻo ne fufū ia mei ai: ka ʻoku mole atu pe ʻae vale, pea tautea ia.
4 Umvuzo wokuthobeka lokwesaba iNkosi kuyinotho lodumo lempilo.
Ko e totongi ʻoe angavaivai mo e manavahē kia Sihova ko e koloa, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e moʻui.
5 Ameva lemijibila kusendleleni yabaphambeneyo; ogcina umphefumulo wakhe uzakuba khatshana labo.
ʻOku ʻi he hala ʻoe talangataʻa ʻae ʻakau talatala mo e ngaahi tauhele: ko ia ʻoku fai ke tauhi hono laumālie te ne hiki mamaʻo mei ai.
6 Fundisa umntwana endleleni angahamba ngayo; ngitsho esemdala kayikuphambuka kuyo.
Akonakiʻi ʻae tamasiʻi ʻi he hala ʻoku totonu ke ne ʻalu ai: pea ka hoko ia ʻo motuʻa, ʻe ʻikai te ne foki mei ai.
7 Onothileyo ubusa abayanga, lomeboleki uyisigqili somebolekisi.
ʻOku pule ʻae koloaʻia ki he masiva, pea ko ia ʻoku nō ʻoku tamaioʻeiki kiate ia ʻoku foaki mai.
8 Ohlanyela ukonakala uzavuna ukuhlupheka, lentonga yolaka lwakhe izaphela.
Ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻae kovi ʻe utu ʻe ia ʻae mamahi: pea ʻe ʻauha ia ʻi he meʻa tā ʻi heʻene ʻita.
9 Olelihlo elilokuhle yena uzabusiswa, ngoba unikile okwesinkwa sakhe kumyanga.
ʻE monūʻia ia ʻoku mataʻofa; he ʻoku foaki ʻe ia a ʻene mā ki he masiva.
10 Xotsha isideleli, kuzaphuma lenkani, yebo, ingxabano lehlazo kuzaphela.
Ke lī kituʻa ʻaia ʻoku manuki, pea ʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae fakakikihi foki: ʻio, ʻe ngata ʻae feʻiteʻitani mo e lauʻikovi.
11 Othanda ukuhlanzeka kwenhliziyo, ngenxa yesisa sendebe zakhe, inkosi ingumgane wakhe.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki he loto maʻa, ʻe kāinga ʻaki ia ʻe he tuʻi koeʻuhi ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻo hono loungutu.
12 Amehlo eNkosi alondoloza ulwazi, kodwa izachitha amazwi abangathembekanga.
ʻOku tauhi ʻae poto ʻe he fofonga ʻo Sihova, pea ʻoku ne fulihi ʻae ngāue ʻae angahala.
13 Ivila lithi: Kulesilwane ngaphandle; ngizabulawa phakathi kwezitalada.
ʻOku pehē ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko, “ʻOku ai ʻae laione ʻituʻa, pea te u mate ʻi he ngaahi hala.”
14 Umlomo wabesifazana bemzini ungumgodi otshonayo; lowo iNkosi emthukutheleleyo uzawela khona.
Ko e ngutu ʻoe kau fefine kovi ko e luo taumamaʻo: pea ʻe tō ki ai ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sihova.
15 Ubuthutha bubotshelwe enhliziyweni yomntwana; uswazi lokuqondisa luzabususela khatshana laye.
ʻOku nonoʻo ʻae vale ʻi he loto ʻoe tamasiʻi; ka ko e vaʻa ʻakau ʻoe tauteʻi ʻe kapusi mamaʻo ai ia ʻiate ia.
16 Ocindezela umyanga ukwandisa alakho, opha onothileyo, isibili uzakuba ngoswelayo.
Ko ia ʻoku fakamālohiʻi ʻae masiva ke tupu ai ʻene koloa, pea mo ia ʻoku foaki ki he koloaʻia, ʻe hoko moʻoni kiate ia ʻae masiva.
17 Beka indlebe yakho, uzwe amazwi abahlakaniphileyo, umise inhliziyo yakho elwazini lami.
Fakaongo ho telinga, pea fanongo ki he lea ʻae poto, pea fakatokangaʻi ho loto ki heʻeku ʻilo.
18 Ngoba kumnandi uba uwalondoloza emibilini yakho; azahlala elungile kanyekanye endebeni zakho.
He ko e meʻa lelei ʻo kapau te ke tauhi ia ʻiate koe; pea ʻe taau ke lea ʻaki ia ʻe ho loungutu.
19 Ukuze ithemba lakho libe seNkosini, ngikwazisile wona lamuhla, ngitsho wena.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻia Sihova hoʻo falala, ʻaia kuo u fakahā kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻio, kiate koe pe.
20 Kangikubhalelanga yini izinto ezinhle kakhulu kuzeluleko lelwazini?
ʻIkai kuo u tohi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei, ʻi he enginaki, pea mo e poto,
21 Ukukwazisa ukuqiniseka kwamazwi eqiniso, ukuze ubuyisele amazwi eqiniso kulabo abakuthumileyo.
koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ai kiate koe ʻae moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi lea moʻoni: koeʻuhi ke ke tali ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe moʻoni ʻakinautolu ʻoku fekau mai kiate koe?
22 Ungamphangi umyanga ngoba engumyanga, njalo ungamchobozi oswelayo esangweni.
ʻOua naʻa kaihaʻa mei he masiva koeʻuhi ko e masiva ia: pea ʻoua naʻa fakamālohiʻi ʻaia ʻoku mamahi ʻi he matapā:
23 Ngoba iNkosi izamela udaba lwabo, iphange umphefumulo wababaphangayo.
Koeʻuhi ʻe langomakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova, pea te ne maumauʻi ʻae laumālie ʻonautolu ʻoku maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
24 Ungahlanganyeli lomuntu ololaka, ungahambisani lomuntu othukuthelayo,
ʻOua naʻa ke fakakāinga mo e tangata faʻa ʻita; pea ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ke ʻalu mo ha tangata loto lili:
25 hlezi ufunde indlela zakhe, wemukele umjibila emphefumulweni wakho.
Telia naʻa ke ako ki hono ngaahi hala, pea tauheleʻi ai ho laumālie.
26 Ungabi phakathi kwababambana izandla, phakathi kwabayizibambiso ngezikwelede.
Ke ʻoua naʻa ke kau koe mo kinautolu ʻoku fepukeaki nima, pe ko kinautolu ʻoku fakapapau ki he fai ʻo ha totongi.
27 Uba ungelakho okokuhlawula, kungani ezathatha umbheda wakho ngaphansi kwakho?
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai hao meʻa ke totongi aki, ko e hā ʻoku ʻave ai ho mohenga mei lalo ʻiate koe?
28 Ungatshedisi isikhonkwane esidala somngcele, oyihlo abasenzayo.
ʻOua naʻa hiki ʻae kauʻā motuʻa, ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe hoʻo kau mātuʻa.
29 Uyambona yini umuntu oyingcitshi emsebenzini wakhe? Uzazimisa phambi kwamakhosi; kayikuzimisa phambi kwabantukazana.
ʻOku ke mamata ki ha tangata ʻoku faʻa fai ki heʻene ngāue? ʻE tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi; ʻe ʻikai nofo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai meʻavale.
