1 Mpeleke mwana kondoo kuongoza nchi kutoka Sela huko jangwani, kwenye mlima wa binti Sayuni.
Ke mou fekau ke ʻave ʻae lami ki he pule ʻoe fonua mei Sila ʻo aʻu ki he toafa, ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione.
2 Kama ndege wazururao, viota vimetapakaa, hivyo basi wanawake wa Moabu watavuka kwenye mto Arnoni.
Koeʻuhi ʻe hangē ko e manu he ʻoku kapusi mei hono pununga, ʻe pehē ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Moape ʻi he ngaahi potu mamaha ʻa ʻAlinoni.
3 Toa maelekezo, tekeleza haki; toa kivuli kama usiku wakati wa mchana; wahifadhi watuhumiwa; msiwahini watuhumiwa.
Mou fakakaukau, fai fakapotopoto; ngaohi hoʻatā ke hangē ko e pō ʻi he hoʻatāmālie; fufū ʻae kau ʻāuhē; ʻoua naʻa fakahā ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu hēhē.
4 Waache waishi miongoni mwenu, wakimbizi kutoka Moabu; muwe mahali pakujifichia wao wasiangamizwe.'' maana mateso yatakwisha, na uharibifu utapungua utakuwa na kikomo, wale wanotetemeka watapotea katika nchi.
Tuku ke nofo kiate koe ʻa ʻeku kau ʻāuhē, ʻe Moape; ke ke hoko ko e ungaʻanga kiate kinautolu mei he mata ʻoe kaihaʻa: he kuo ngata ʻaia ʻoku fakamālohi, kuo tuku ʻae kaihaʻa, kuo ʻauha ʻae kau fakamamahi mei he fonua.
5 Kiti cha enzi kitaanzishwa katika agano la uaminifu; na mmoja katika hema la Daudi atakaa pale kwa uaminifu. Atahukumu kwa kufuata haki na atatenda haki.
Pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he ʻaloʻofa: pea te ne nofo ai ʻi he moʻoni ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻo Tevita, ʻo fai ʻae fakamaau, pea kumi ki he angatonu, mo fakavave ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
6 Tumesikia kiburi cha Moabu, kiburi chake, majivuno yake, na hasira yake. Lakini majivuno yake ni maneno tu.
Kuo mau fanongo ki he laukau ʻa Moape; ʻoku laukau ʻaupito ia: ʻio ʻi heʻene fielahi, mo ʻene laukau, mo ʻene ʻita: ka ko e meʻa taʻeʻaonga ʻene ngaahi loi.
7 Hivyo basi Moabu atalia juu ya Moabu-wote watalia! wataomboleza, nyie mlioharibiwa kabisa, mikate ya Kira Haresethi.
Ko ia ʻe tāngiloa ʻa Moape koeʻuhi ko Moape, ʻe tangi ʻae kakai kotoa pē: te mou mamahi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo Kili-Haleseti; he ko e moʻoni kuo taaʻi ʻakinautolu.
8 Shamba la Heshboni limekauka kabisa pamoja na mizabibu ya Sibma. Kiongozi wa mataifa amekanyaga mizabibu iliyochaguliwa na kuelekea Jazeri na kuelekea jangwani. Mizizi yake nje ya nchi; imenda juu ya bahari.
He kuo mae ʻae ngoue ʻo Hesiponi, pea mo e vaine ʻo Sipima: kuo fesiʻi hifo ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe hiteni ʻa hono ngaahi ʻakau lelei, kuo nau haʻu ki Sesa, naʻa nau ʻalu fano ʻi he toafa: kuo mafola atu hono ngaahi vaʻa, kuo nau ika ʻi he tahi.
9 Kweli nitalia pamoja Jazeri kwasababu ya shamba la mizabibu la Sibma. Nitakuloanisha kwa machozi yangu, Heshboni, na Eleale. Maana katika mashamba yenu kipindi cha majira ya joto matunda na mazao nitaishia kwa kupiga kelele za furaha.
Ko ia te u tangi ʻi he tangi ʻo Sesa koeʻuhi ko e vaine ʻo Sipima: te u fakaviviku koe ʻaki hoku loʻimata, ʻE Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale: he kuo ʻosi ʻae kalanga koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fua ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana pea mo hoʻo ututaʻu.
10 Furaha na shangwe zimezimwa na matunda ya miti ya shambani; na hakuna nyimbo wala kelele katika mashamba ya mizabibu, maana nimeweka mwisho wa kupiga kelele kwa yeyote anayetembea.
Kuo toʻo ʻo mole ʻae fiefia, mo e nekeneka mei he ʻapi mahu; pea ʻe ʻikai ha hiva, pe ha kalanga ʻe fai ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine: ʻe ʻikai toe malaki ha uaine ʻe he kau malaki ʻi he ngaahi tataʻoʻanga; kuo u pule ke tuku ʻenau kalanga fiefia.
11 Hivyo, moyo wangu unalia kama kinubi, na ndani yangu maana kwa ajili ya Kiri Hareseth.
Ko ia ʻe tangi ʻa hoku fatu ʻo hangē ko ha haʻape koeʻuhi ko Moape, mo hoku toʻotoʻonga koeʻuhi ko Kili-Haleseti.
12 Pindi ambapo Moabu wamejivika mahali pa juu, na kuingia katika hekalu kuomba, maombi yake hayatatimiza chochote.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka hā mai kuo ongosia ʻa Moape ʻi he potu māʻolunga, pea te ne haʻu ki hono potu tapu ke hū; ka e ʻikai te ne lavaʻi.
13 Haya ndio maneno aliyoyazungumza Yahwe kuhusu Moabu iliyopita.
Ko eni ʻae folofola kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova, ki Moape talu ʻae kuonga ko ia.
14 Tena Yahwe amesema, ''Ndani ya miaka mitatu utukufuwa Moabu utatoweka; japo watu wake wengi, watakao bakia ni wachache, na wasionafaida.
Ka ko eni kuo folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he teʻeki kakato ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu, hangē ko e taʻu ʻo ha taha ʻoku ngāue kae totongi, ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻae nāunau ʻo Moape, mo e fuʻu tokolahi ʻoku ʻi ai; pea ʻe siʻi ʻaupito pea vaivai ʻa hono toenga.”
