UZefaniya 2

1 Zibuthaniseni, lizibuthanise, lina sizwe esingaloyisekiyo,

Fakataha ʻakimoutolu, ʻio, fakataha, ʻae puleʻanga ʻoku ʻikai ke holi;

2 isimiso singakazali, lalolosuku lwedlule njengamakhoba, intukuthelo yolaka lweNkosi ingakalehleli, usuku lolaka lweNkosi lungakalehleli.

‌ʻI he teʻeki ke ʻomi ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻaho, ʻaia ʻalu atu ʻo hangē ko e kafukafu, ʻi he teʻeki ke hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae houhau kakaha ʻo Sihova, ʻi he teʻeki ke hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaho ʻoe tuputāmaki ʻo Sihova.

3 Dingani iNkosi, lina lonke abamnene bomhlaba, elenze isahlulelo sayo; dingani ukulunga, lidinge ubumnene; mhlawumbe lingafihlwa ngosuku lolaka lweNkosi.

Mou kumi kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae angamalū ʻoe fonua, kuo mou fai ʻa ʻene fakamaau; kumi ki he māʻoniʻoni, kumi ki he angamalū: heiʻilo ʻe fufū ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova.

4 Ngoba iGaza izadelwa, leAshikeloni ibe lunxiwa; bazaxotsha iAshidodi emini enkulu, leEkhironi isitshunwe.

Koeʻuhi ʻe liʻaki ʻa Kesa, pea fakaʻauha ʻa ʻAsikeloni: te nau kapusi ʻa ʻAsitoti ʻi he hoʻatā, pea ʻe taʻaki fuʻu ʻa Ekiloni.

5 Maye kwabakhileyo belizwe lolwandle, isizwe samaKerethi! Ilizwi leNkosi limelene lani. Wena Khanani, lizwe lamaFilisti, ngizakuchitha, kuze kungabi lomhlali.

Ke malaʻia ki he kakai ʻoe matātahi, ko e puleʻanga ʻoe kakai Kiliti! ʻOku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻE Kēnani, ko e fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, naʻa mo koe, te u fakaʻauha koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha taha ʻe nofo ai.

6 Lelizwe lolwandle lizakuba ngamadlelo alemigodi yamanzi yabelusi, lezibaya zezimvu.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻae matātahi ko e ngaahi nofoʻanga, mo e ngaahi fale maʻa e kau tauhi sipi, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā maʻa e fanga sipi.

7 Njalo ilizwe lizakuba ngelensali yendlu kaJuda; bazakudla kulo; kusihlwa bazalala ezindlini zeAshikeloni; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo izabahambela, iphendule ukuthunjwa kwabo.

Pea ʻe tuku ʻae fonua maʻa e toenga ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta; te nau kai ai: te nau tokoto ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻo ʻAsikeloni ʻi he efiafi: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻa honau ʻOtua ko Sihova, pea ʻe liliu ai honau fakapōpula.

8 Ngiyizwile inhlamba kaMowabi, lokuthuka kwamadodana kaAmoni, abahlambaze ngakho abantu bami, bezikhulisa bemelene lomngcele wabo.

Kuo u fanongo ki he valoki ʻa Moape, mo e ngaahi manuki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻaia kuo nau lauʻikoviʻi ai ʻa hoku kakai, mo fakahikihiki ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua.

9 Ngakho kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, isibili uMowabi uzakuba njengeSodoma, labantwana bakaAmoni njengeGomora, indawo yezimbabazane, lemigodi yetshwayi, lencithakalo kuze kube phakade. Insali yabantu bami izabaphanga, labaseleyo babantu bami badle ilifa labo.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe hangē ko Sotoma ʻa Moape, pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻe hangē ko Komola, ʻio, ko e potu ʻoe ʻakau veli, mo e ngaahi luo māsima, mo e fakaʻauha tuʻumaʻu: ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he toe ʻo ʻeku kakai, pea ʻe maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe he toenga ʻo ʻeku kakai.

10 Lokhu bazakuba lakho endaweni yokuziphakamisa kwabo, ngoba bathuka, bazikhulisa bemelene labantu beNkosi yamabandla.

‌ʻE maʻu eni ʻekinautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fielahi, koeʻuhi kuo nau valoki, mo fakahikihiki ʻakinautolu, ki he kakai ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

11 INkosi izakwesabeka kubo, ngoba izacakisa bonke onkulunkulu bomhlaba; njalo bazakhothama kuyo, ngulowo lalowo esendaweni yakhe, zonke izihlenge zezizwe.

‌ʻE fakailifia ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu: he te ne fakahonge ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe lotu ʻae kakai kiate ia, taki taha ʻi hono potu, ʻio, ko e ngaahi ʻotu motu kotoa pē ʻoe hiteni.

12 Lani maEthiyophiya, lizakuba ngababuleweyo ngenkemba yami.

ʻAkimoutolu foki, ʻae kakai ʻItiopea, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku heletā.

13 Njalo izakwelula isandla sayo imelene lenyakatho, ichithe iAsiriya, ibeke iNineve ibe lunxiwa, yome njengenkangala.

Pea ʻe mafao atu ʻe ia ʻa hono nima ki he tokelau, mo maumauʻi ʻa ʻAsilia; pea te ne ngaohi ʻa Ninive ko e fakaʻauha, pea mōmoa ʻo hangē ko e toafa.

14 Njalo imihlambi izalala phansi phakathi kwayo, zonke izinyamazana zezizwe; lalo iwunkwe kanye lenhloni kulale ezidukwini zayo; ilizwi lizahlabela ewindini, incithakalo ibe sembundwini; ngoba ezakwembula umsebenzi womsedari.

Pea ʻe tokoto ʻae fanga sipi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia, ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga; ʻe fakatou nofo ʻae komolane mo e pitane ʻi he funga matapā ʻi ʻolunga; ʻe hiva ʻa honau leʻo ʻi he ngaahi matapā sioʻata; ʻe ʻi he ngaahi lakaʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻae fakaʻauha: he te ne veteki ʻae ngāue ʻoe sita.

15 Lo ngumuzi ojabulayo, obuhlezi ngokuvikeleka, owawusithi enhliziyweni yawo: Yimi, njalo kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami. Yeka ukuba kwawo yincithakalo, indawo yokulala yezinyamazana! Wonke owedlula kiwo uyancifa, anyikinye isandla sakhe.

Ko eni ʻae kolo fakafiefia ʻaia naʻe nofo fakafiemālie kovi, ʻaia naʻe pehē ʻi hono loto, Ko au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha mo au: hono ʻikai kuo hoko ia ko e fakaʻauha, ko e potu ke tokoto ai ʻae fanga manu! ʻE taki taha ʻiseʻisa mo ʻalu atu ʻiate ia, mo tupetupeʻi hono nima.
