Teutalonome 21
1 “Kapau ʻoku ʻilo ha tokotaha kuo tāmateʻi ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke maʻu, kuo tuku ʻi he ngoue, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo pe ko hai kuo ne tāmateʻi ia:
“Nxa kungafunyanwa umuntu obuleweyo egangeni, elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu, kungaziwa ukuthi ubulewe ngubani,
2 ʻE toki haʻu ai hoʻo kau mātuʻa mo hoʻo kau fakamaau, pea tenau fakafuofua ki he ngaahi kolo ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia kuo fakapoongi:
abakhokheli kanye labehluleli benu bazakuya balinganise umango phakathi kwalowo obuleweyo lamadolobho aseduze.
3 Pea ʻe pehē, ʻilonga ʻae kolo ʻoku ofi ki he tangata kuo tāmateʻi, ʻio ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia, tenau ʻomi ha pulu fefine mui ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngāueʻaki, pea naʻe ʻikai toho meʻa ʻi ha haʻamonga;
Kuzakuthi abakhokheli bamadolobho aseduzane lesidumbu leso bathathe ithokazi elingakaze lisetshenziswe futhi okungakaze kugaxwe ijogwe phezu kwalo
4 Pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia ʻae pulu fefine mui ki ha teleʻa tokakovi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai keli pe tō, pea ʻe tutuʻu ai ʻae ʻulu ʻoe pulu fefine mui ʻi he teleʻa.
balithintele esigodini esingakaze silinywe kumbe kuhlanyelwe ulutho kiso njalo lapho okulesifula esigelezayo khona. Kabephule intamo yalo khonapho esigodini leso.
5 Pea ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Livai: he kuo fili ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke tauhi kiate ia, pea ke[fai ʻae ]tāpuaki ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe fakamaauʻaki ʻenau lea ʻae fakakikihi kotoa pē mo e tā kotoa pē:
Abaphristi, amadodana kaLevi, bazasondela, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ubakhethile ukuba benze inkonzo njalo bamemezele izibusiso ebizweni likaThixo bahlulele amacala okuxabana lawokulwa.
6 Pea ko e kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻoe kolo ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ofi ki he tangata kuo tāmateʻi, tenau fanofano honau nima ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he pulu fefine mui ʻaia kuo tutuʻu hono ʻulu ʻi he teleʻa:
Abakhokheli balawo madolobho aseduzane lesidumbu leso bazagezela izandla zabo phezu kwethokazi elephulelwe intamo esigodini,
7 Pea tenau lea ʻo pehē, ‘Naʻe ʻikai lilingi ʻe homau nima ʻae toto ni, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata homau mata ki ai.
bafakaze bathi: ‘Izandla zethu kazilichithanga leligazi, futhi asibonanga kusenzeka.
8 Ke ke ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, ki ho kakai ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ke huhuʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻae hia ʻoe toto māʻoniʻoni ki ho kakai ʻIsileli. Pea ʻe fakamolemole ʻae toto kiate kinautolu.’
Yamukela lindlela yokubuyisana yabantu bakho abako-Israyeli, obahlengileyo, Oh Thixo, ungabeki icala phezu kwabantu bakho ngenxa yegazi lomuntu omsulwa.’ Ngakho ukuchithwa kwegazi kuzahlawulelwa.
9 ʻE pehē ʻa hoʻomou tukuange ai meiate kimoutolu ʻae hia ʻoe toto māʻoniʻoni, ʻoka ke ka fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Ngalokho lizazigeza emlandwini wokuchitha igazi elingelacala, njengoba selenzile okuhle emehlweni kaThixo.”
10 “ʻOka ke ka ʻalu atu ki he tau ki ho ngaahi fili, pea tuku mai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki ho nima, pea kuo ke maʻu pōpula ʻakinautolu,
“Nxa usiya empini ukuyahlasela izitha zakho kuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu anikele izitha zenu ezandleni zenu, lizithumbe,
11 Pea ʻoku ke mamata ʻi he kau pōpula ki ha fefine hoihoifua, pea ʻoku ke tokanga kiate ia koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko ho uaifi:
ungabona owesifazane omuhle njalo akukhange, ungamthatha abe ngumkakho.
12 pehē, te ke ʻomi ia ki ʻapi ki ho fale: pea te ne tekefua ia, pea fakanounou hono ngeʻesinima.
Uzamusa emzini wakho, aphuce ikhanda lakhe, aqume inzipho zakhe njalo
13 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae kofu ʻo ʻene pōpula ʻiate ia, pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi ho fale, pea ʻe tēngihia ʻe ia ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he māhina kātoa ʻe taha: pea hili ia, ʻe ngofua hoʻo toki ʻalu kiate ia, ʻo hoko ko hono husepāniti, pea ʻe hoko ia ko ho uaifi ʻoʻou.
akhulule izigqoko athunjwe ezigqokile. Kuzakuthi lapho eseqede inyanga eyodwa esemzini wakho elilela uyise lonina, usungamthatha abe ngumkakho,
14 Pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie siʻi ʻiate ia, te ke toki tukuange ia ke ʻalu ʻo faʻiteliha pe ia; ka ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke fakatauʻaki ia ʻae paʻanga, ke ʻoua naʻa ke meʻa fakatauʻaki ia, koeʻuhi kuo ke fakavaivaiʻi ia.
kodwa nxa engakuthokozisi, umkhulule ayelapho athanda khona. Ungamthengisi kumbe umphathe njengesigqili, ngoba usumngcolisile.”
15 “Kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻae uaifi ʻe ua ʻe ha tangata, ko e ʻofeina ʻae taha ka ko e fehiʻanekina ʻae taha, pea kuo na fānau fakatouʻosi pe kiate ia, ʻae ʻofeina mo e fehiʻanekina; pea kapau ko e ʻuluaki foha ko e tama ia ʻo ia ʻoku fehiʻanekina:
“Nxa indoda ilabafazi ababili, ithande omunye kodwa omunye ingamthandi, kuthi bobabili bayizalele amadodana kodwa izibulo libe yindodana yomfazi engamthandiyo,
16 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fai ke fakahoko hono ngaahi foha ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana, ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke ngaohi ʻae tama ʻae ʻofeina ke ʻuluaki ia ʻo tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he tama ʻae fehiʻanekina, ʻaia ko e ʻuluaki fānau[moʻoni]:
nxa ehlela ukwabela amadodana akhe impahla yakhe, akumelanga emuke izibulo lakhe ilungelo lalo aliphe indodana yomfazi amthandayo esikhundleni sezibulo langempela, indodana yomfazi engamthandiyo.
17 Ka ʻe fakahā ʻe ia ʻae tama ʻae fehiʻanekina ko e ʻuluaki tupu, ʻi heʻene ʻatu kiate ia ʻae vāhenga ʻe ua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu, he ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻo hono mālohi; ʻoku ʻaʻana pe ʻae lelei ʻoe ʻuluaki tupu.
Kufanele itshengisele ukuthi indodana yomfazi ongathandwayo yilo izibulo ngokuyinika isabelo esiphindwe kabili sempahla yayo yonke. Indodana leyo iyisibonakaliso sakuqala samandla kayise. Ilungelo lobuzibulo ngelayo.”
18 “Kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha foha ʻoku paongataʻa mo angatuʻu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene tamai, pe ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻi heʻena tautea ia, ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinaua:
“Nxa indoda ilendodana eyisiqholo njalo engumhlamuki engalaleli uyise lonina nxa beyikhuza,
19 ʻE toki puke ia ʻe heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, ʻo ʻomi ia kituʻa ki he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, pea ki he matapā ʻo honau potu;
uyise lonina bazayibamba bayise ebadaleni esangweni ledolobho lakibo.
20 Pea te na pehē ki he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, ‘Ko homa foha ko eni ʻoku paongataʻa mo angatuʻu, ʻoku ʻikai tui ia ki heʻema fekau: ko e ʻuakai ia mo e konā.’
Kumele bafike ebadaleni balelodolobho bathi, ‘Indodana yethu le iyisiqholo njalo ingumhlamuki. Ayisilaleli. Iyisixhwali njalo iyisidakwa.’
21 Pea ʻe tolongaki ia ʻe he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻa hono kolo ʻaki ʻae maka, ke mate ai ia: ʻe pehē pe hoʻo motuhi ai ʻae kovi meiate kimoutolu; pea ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea manavahē.
Ngakho wonke amadoda akulelodolobho azayitshaya ngamatshe ize ife. Kufanele liqede bonke ububi phakathi kwenu. U-Israyeli wonke uzakuzwa lokhu esabe.”
22 “Pea kapau kuo fai angahala ʻe ha tangata ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mate ai ia, pea kuo tonu ke tāmateʻi ia, pea ʻoku ke tautau ia ki he ʻakau:
“Nxa umuntu olecala elikhulu ebulawa kuthi isidumbu silengiswe esihlahleni,
23 ʻE ʻikai tuku hono sino ʻi he ʻakau ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho, ka te ke tanu moʻoni ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: (he ko ia kuo tautau ko e malaʻia ia ʻi he ʻOtua; ) koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa halaia ho fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe ko ho tofiʻa.
lingaboyekela isidumbu sakhe silenga esihlahleni ubusuku bonke. Kangcwatshwe mhlalokho, ngoba umuntu olengiswa esihlahleni uqalekisiwe nguNkulunkulu. Lingangcolisi ilizwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona njengelifa.”
