1 Meʻa Hokohoko 16
1 Ko ia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, mo tuku ia ʻi he loto fale fehikitaki ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ki ai ʻe Tevita: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
Balithwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu bayalingenisa ethenteni uDavida ayelilungiselele lona, banikela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa leyobudlelwano phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
2 Pea ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Tevita ʻae ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae kakai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.
UDavida eseqedile ukunikela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa langeyobudlelwano, wabusisa abantu ngebizo likaThixo.
3 Pea naʻa ne tufaki ki he kakai taki taha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he tangata mo e fefine fakatouʻosi, ke taki taha haʻane foʻi mā, mo e konga kanomate lahi, mo e ipu uaine ʻe taha.
Wababela bonke abako-Israyeli, abesilisa labesifazane, yilowo lalowo isinkwa, lekhekhe lezithelo kanye lekhekhe lamavini awonyisiweyo.
4 Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau Livai ke tauhi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ke fai ʻae tohi fakamanatu, pea ke fai ʻae fakafetaʻi mo e fakamālō kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli:
Wakhetha abanye abaLevi ukukhonza phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo bedumisa uThixo, bebonga uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli:
5 Ko honau ʻeiki ʻa ʻAsafi, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Sakalia, mo Sieli, mo Similamoti, mo Sehieli, mo Matitia, mo ʻIliapi, mo Penaia, mo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi: pea naʻe ʻia Sieli ʻae ngaahi ūtete mo e ngaahi haʻape; ka naʻe ʻia ʻAsafi ʻae fakaongo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi;
Induna kwakungu-Asafi, uZakhariya engumsekeli, kulandela uJeyeli, loShemiramothi, loJehiyeli, loMathithiya, lo-Eliyabi, loBhenaya, lo-Obhedi-Edomi kanye loJeyiyeli. Babezatshaya amachacho lemihubhe, u-Asafi etshaya izigubhu,
6 Pea naʻe ʻia Penaia foki mo Seesieli ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua.
abaphristi uBhenaya loJahaziyeli bengabokuvuthela amacilongo phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
7 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fuofua ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo ʻAsafi pea mo hono kāinga.
Ngalolosuku uDavida wamisa ukuba u-Asafi labanye bakhe bahlabelele lelihubo bebonga uThixo:
8 Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ui ki hono huafa, fakaongoongo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
Bongani uThixo, memezani ibizo lakhe, lizazise phakathi kwabantu izenzo zakhe.
9 Mou hiva kiate ia, hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saame kiate ia, mou fetalanoaʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
Hlabelelani kuye, hlabelelani indumiso kuye; likhulume ngezenzo zakhe zonke ezimangalisayo.
10 Mou vikiviki ʻi hono huafa māʻoniʻoni: tuku ke fiefia ʻae loto ʻokinautolu, ʻoku kumi kia Sihova.
Jabulani ebizweni lakhe elingcwele; kazithokoze inhliziyo zabo abamdingayo uThixo.
11 Mou kumi kia Sihova pea mo ʻene mālohi, mou kumi maʻuaipē ki hono fofonga.
Dingani uThixo lamandla akhe, limdinge yena njalonjalo.
12 Manatu ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue fakamanavahē ʻaia kuo ne fai, ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakaofo, pea mo e fakamaau mei hono fofonga:
Khumbulani izenzo zakhe ezimangalisayo azenzayo, izimangaliso azenzayo, lezahlulelo azikhulumayo,
13 ʻAkimoutolu ʻae hako ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻa Sekope, ʻae kakai kuo ne fili.
lina zizukulwane zika-Israyeli inceku yakhe, lina madodana kaJakhobe, abakhethiweyo bakhe.
14 Ko ia ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi māmani kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakamaau.
Yena unguThixo uNkulunkulu wethu; izahlulelo zakhe zigcwele wonke umhlaba.
15 Mou manatu maʻuaipē ki heʻene fuakava; ʻae folofola ko ia naʻa ne fekau ʻaki ki he toʻutangata ʻe afe;
Uyakhumbula isivumelwano sakhe nini lanini, ilizwi lomlayo wakhe, okwezizukulwane ezizinkulungwane,
16 ʻAia naʻa ne fai mo ʻEpalahame, pea mo ʻene fuakava kia ʻAisake;
isivumelwano asenza lo-Abhrahama, isifungo asenza lo-Isaka,
17 Pea kuo ne fakapapau ia kia Sekope ko e fono tuʻumaʻu, pea ko e fuakava taʻengata ki ʻIsileli.
wasiqinisa kuJakhobe saba yisimiso, laku-Israyeli saba yisivumelwano esingapheliyo,
18 ʻI [heʻene ]pehē, “Ko koe te u foaki ki ai ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ko e tufakanga ʻo homou tofiʻa;”
wathi “Ngizalinika ilizwe laseKhenani njengesabelo selifa lenu.”
19 Lolotonga ʻa hoʻomou tokosiʻi pe, ʻio, ko e tokosiʻi pe, pea ko e kau muli pe ʻi ai.
Kwathi lisesebalutshwana, bebalutshwana kakhulu, beyizihambi kulo,
20 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu fano mei he fonua ʻe taha ki ha fonua kehe, pea mei he puleʻanga ʻe taha ki ha kakai kehe;
bezula kuzizwe ngezizwe besuka komunye umbuso besiya komunye.
21 Naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke fai taʻetotonu kiate kinautolu ʻe ha tokotaha: naʻa mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻa ne valokiʻi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu,
Kavumelanga loba ngubani ukubancindezela; wawakhuza amakhosi ngenxa yabo,
22 [Mo ne pehē], “ʻOua naʻa ala kiate ia kuo u pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha kovi ki hoku kau palōfita.”
“Lingabathinti abagcotshiweyo bami; lingahlukuluzi abaphrofethi bami.”
23 Ke hiva kia Sihova, ʻa māmani kātoa; fakahāhā atu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻa ʻene fakamoʻui.
Hlabelani kuThixo lina, mhlaba wonke, limemezele insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.
24 Fanongonongo ʻa ʻene nāunauʻia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai hiteni; mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo lahi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
25 He ʻoku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku taau mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi lahi: ʻoku taau mo ia foki ʻae manavahē ke lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
26 He ko e ngaahi tamapua pe ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai: ka naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi.
Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.
27 ʻOku ʻi hono ʻao ʻoʻona ʻae nāunau, mo e ʻapasia; ʻoku ʻi hono nofoʻanga ʻae mālohi mo e fiefia.
Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe Amandla lentokozo kusendaweni yakhe yokuhlala.
28 ʻAtu kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kakai, ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae nāunau mo e mālohi.
Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.
29 ʻAtu kia Sihova ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoku taau mo hono huafa: ʻomi ha feilaulau, pea haʻu ki hono ʻao: lotu kia Sihova ʻi he matamatalelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe. Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe;
30 Ke manavahē kiate ia ʻa māmani kotoa pē: ʻe nofomaʻu foki ʻa māmani ke ʻoua naʻa ngaue ia.
thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke! Umhlaba ugxilile, ngeke ugudluzwe.
31 Tuku ke fiefia ʻae ngaahi langi, pea tuku ke nekeneka ʻa māmani: pea tuku ke pehē ʻe he kakai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, “ʻOku pule ʻa Sihova.”
Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule, kabathi phakathi kwabezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.”
32 Ke ʻuʻulu ʻae tahi, pea mo hono fonu ʻo ia: ke fiefia ʻae ngaahi tokanga ngoue mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai.
Ulwandle kaluhlokome lakho konke okukulo, amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo.
33 ʻE toki pā atu ʻae hiva ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe vao ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne hāʻele mai ke fakamaau ʻa māmani.
Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba.
34 Mou tuku ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku ne angalelei; pea ʻoku taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
Bongani uThixo ngoba ulungile. Uthando lwakhe olungapheliyo lumi kokuphela.
35 Pea mou pehē, “Fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, ʻa koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo homau fakamoʻui, pea tānaki fakataha ʻakimautolu, pea fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he hiteni, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, pea [mau ]vikiviki ʻi he fakamālō kiate koe.”
Celani lithi: “Sisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu Mkhululi wethu, usiqoqe usikhulule phakathi kwezizwe, ukuze silibonge ibizo lakho elingcwele, sijabule ekukudumiseni.”
36 Ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, “ʻEmeni,” mo nau fai ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
Kabongwe uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kusukela endulo kuze kube nininini. Bonke abantu bathi: “Ameni. Kabongwe uThixo!”
37 Ko ia naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻAsafi mo hono kāinga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tauhi maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo hangē ko e ngāue naʻe totonu ke fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē:
UDavida wasetshiya o-Asafi labakhula bakhe ukuba bagcine ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, bakhonze njalo benze konke okufanele kwenziwe lapho ngezinsuku zonke.
38 Mo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi mo honau kāinga, ko e toko onongofulu ma valu; ka ko e kau leʻo matapā ʻa ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e foha ʻo Situtuni, pea mo Hosa:
Abanye abatshiya lapho ukuze bakhonze labo ngo-Obhedi-Edomi labakhula bakhe, ababengamatshumi ayisithupha lasificaminwembili. U-Obhedi-Edomi indodana kaJeduthuni, kanye loHosa babengabalindi bamasango.
39 Pea ko Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova ʻi he potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipione,
UDavida watshiya uZadokhi umphristi kanye labanye abaphristi phambi kwethabanikeli likaThixo endaweni ephakemeyo yokukhonzela eGibhiyoni
40 Ke [nau ]ʻohake ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu maʻuaipē ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki ʻIsileli;
ukunikela kuThixo iminikelo yokutshiswa e-alithareni ngezikhathi zonke, ekuseni lantambama, njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaThixo, awupha abako-Israyeli.
41 Pea naʻe fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa Hemani mo Situtuni mo kinautolu naʻe fili, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻa honau hingoa, ke fai ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻoku taʻengata;
Abanye abasala labo babengoHemani loJeduthuni labanye bonke balabo ababekhethiwe beqanjwa ngamabizo ukuba badumise uThixo, “ngoba uthando lwakhe lumi kuze kube nininini.”
42 Pea fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa Hemani mo Situtuni mo ʻena ngaahi meʻalea mo ʻena ngaahi meʻa pakihi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻe hiva ki he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva. Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Situtuni ko e kau leʻo matapā ʻakinautolu.
UHemani loJeduthuni babengabokuvuthela amacilongo lokutshaya izigubhu lamanye amachacho ezingoma ezingcwele. Amadodana kaJeduthuni ayehlala esangweni.
43 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai, ko e tangata taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona: pea naʻe ʻalu foki ʻa Tevita ke ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa hono fale.
Abanye bonke basuka, ngulowo lalowo waqonda emzini wakhe, uDavida wabuyela emzini wakhe ukuyabusisa abendlu yakhe.
