Teutalonome 7

1 “ʻOka ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia, pea kuo kapusi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kakai mei ho ʻao, ko e kau Heti, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi, ko e puleʻanga ʻe fitu ʻoku lahi hake mo mālohi lahi ʻiate koe;

“Lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu elingenisa elizweni alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu uxotsha izizwe ezinengi phambi kwenu, amaHithi, amaGigashi, ama-Amori, amaKhenani, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi, izizwe eziyisikhombisa ezinkulu njalo ezilamandla kulani,

2 Pea ka tuku mai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi ho ʻao; te ke taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu; ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha fuakava mo kinautolu, pe fakahā ha angaʻofa kiate kinautolu:

kuthi lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu esezinikele ezandleni zenu lani selizinqobile kufanele lizitshabalalise ngokupheleleyo. Lingabi lesivumelwano lazo, njalo lingabi lesihawu kuzo.

3 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou femaliʻaki mo kinautolu; ʻoua naʻa ke ʻatu ho ʻofefine ki hono foha, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fili hono ʻofefine ki ho foha.

Lingendiselani lazo. Lingendiseli amadodakazi enu emadodaneni azo, kumbe lithathele amadodana enu amadodakazi azo,

4 He tenau fakatafoki ho foha mei he muimui ʻiate au, kenau tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe: ko ia ʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ke fakaʻauha fakafokifā pe koe.

ngoba azaphambula amadodana enu ekungikhonzeni abesekhonza abanye onkulunkulu, kuthi ulaka lukaThixo luvuthe lulitshabalalise.

5 Ka te mou fai pehē kiate kinautolu; ke mou maumauʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea fesiʻi hifo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea tā hifo ʻenau ngaahi vao tapu, pea tutu honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi he afi.

Nanku okumele likwenze kulezi zizwe: Dilizani ama-alithare azo, libhidlize amatshe eziwakhonzayo, ligamule izinsika zika-Ashera njalo litshise izithombe zazo ngomlilo.

6 He ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: kuo fili koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke hoko ko e kakai ʻofeina kiate ia, ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.

Phela lina lingabantu abangcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulikhethile phakathi kwabantu bonke emhlabeni ukuthi libe ngabantu bakhe, isipho sakhe esiligugu.

7 Naʻe ʻikai fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻene ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pe fili ʻakimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko homou tokolahi hake ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; he naʻa mou tokosiʻi hifo ʻi he kakai kotoa pē:

UThixo kazange ehlisele uthando lwakhe phezu kwenu ngoba libanengi kulezinye izizwe, phela lina livele liyisizwe sabantu abalutshwana.

8 Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea koeʻuhi ko hono finangalo ke fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ʻaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko ia kuo ne ʻomi ai kituaʻā ʻakimoutolu ʻi he nima māfimafi, ʻo ne huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he fale ʻoe kau pōpula, mei he nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite.

Kodwa kungenxa yokuthi uThixo walithanda wagcina isifungo asifunga kubokhokho benu walikhupha ngesandla esilamandla walihlenga ezweni lobugqili, emandleni kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe.

9 Ko ia ke ke ʻilo ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ia, ko e ʻOtua angatonu, ʻaia ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia, pea fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toʻutangata laui afe;

Yazini-ke ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu unguNkulunkulu; unguNkulunkulu othembekileyo, ogcina isivumelwano sothando kuze kufike esizukulwaneni senkulungwane salabo abamthandayo njalo begcina imilayo yakhe.

10 Pea ʻoku totongi ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia ki honau mata, ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: ʻe ʻikai fai tuai ia kiate ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate ia, ʻe totongi ʻe ia kiate ia ki hono mata.

Kodwa labo abamzondayo uzaphindisela kubo ngokubabhubhisa; kayikuphuza ukuphindisela kulabo abamzondayo.

11 Ko ia ke ke tauhi ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi fekau, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke fai ki ai.

Kungakho, nanzelelani lilandele imilayo, izimiso kanye lemithetho engilinika yona lamuhla.

12 “Pea ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻo kapau te mou tokanga ki he ngaahi fakamaau ni, pea tauhi, pea fai ki ai, ʻe fai kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai;

Nxa linanzelela limithetho njalo liyilandela, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzagcina isivumelwano sakhe sothando kini, njengoba wafunga kubokhokho benu.

13 Pea te ne ʻofa ʻe ia kiate koe, pea tāpuakiʻi koe, mo ne fakatokolahi koe: pea ʻe tāpuaki ʻe ia ʻae fua ʻo ho manāva, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, ʻa hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, mo hoʻo lolo, mo e fanafanau ʻa hoʻo fanga manu, mo hoʻo ngaahi fanga sipi, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe.

Uzalithanda alibusise andise ubunengi benu. Uzabusisa izithelo zenzalo yezisu zenu, izilimo zamasimu enu, amabele enu, iwayini elitsha kanye lamafutha, amathole emihlambi yenkomo zenu kanye lamazinyane emihlambi yezimvu zenu elizweni afunga ukuthi uzalinika okhokho benu ukuba balinike lona.

14 ‌ʻE monūʻia lahi hake koe ʻi he kakai kotoa pē: ʻe ʻikai paʻa ha tangata pe ha fefine ʻiate kimoutolu, pe ʻi hoʻomou fanga manu.

Lina lizabusiswa okungaphezu kwabanye abantu; kakho phakathi kwamadoda labafazi kini ozaswela umntwana, njalo lezifuyo zenu ngeke ziswele amankonyane.

15 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻai kiate koe ha mahaki kovi ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi; ka te ne hilifaki ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe.

UThixo uzaliphephisa emikhuhlaneni yonke. Kayikulehlisela imikhuhlane yonke eyesabekayo elaliyibona eGibhithe, kodwa uzayehlisela kulabo abalizondayo.

16 Pea te ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe tukuange kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ke ʻoua siʻi naʻa ʻofa ho mata kiate kinautolu: pea ʻoua naʻa ke tauhi honau ngaahi ʻotua; he tenau hoko ko e tauhele kiate koe.

Libobhubhisa bonke abantu uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu abanikela ezandleni zenu. Lingabazweli usizi, lingakhonzi onkulunkulu babo, ngoba lokho kuzakuba yisifu kini.

17 Kapau ʻoku ke lau ʻi ho loto, ʻOku tokolahi hake ʻae ngaahi kakai ni ʻiate au; ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻeku faʻa kapusi ʻakinautolu?

Mhlawumbe lizakuthi: ‘Lezizizwe zilamandla kulathi. Sizazixotsha njani lapha?’

18 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: ka ke manatu lelei pe ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kia Felo, pea ki ʻIsipite kotoa pē.

Kodwa lingazesabi; khumbulani ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wenzani kuFaro kanye lakulo lonke elaseGibhithe.

19 Ko e ʻahiʻahi lahi naʻe mamata ki ai ʻe ho mata, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa mana, mo e toukupu māfimafi, mo e nima kuo mafao, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ai koe kituʻa ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ke manavahē ki ai.

Lazibonela ngawenu amehlo imilingo emikhulu, izibonakaliso zemilingo lezimanga, isandla esilamandla lokwelulwa kwengalo, khona okwasetshenziswa nguThixo wenu ukulikhupha. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzakuphinda khonokho kubo laba abantu elibesabayo.

20 Pea ʻe fekau foki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fanga langomū kiate kinautolu, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, ʻonau fufū ʻakinautolu meiate koe.

Phezu kwalokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzathumela olonyovu phakathi kwabo kuze kuthi labasilileyo balicatshela babhujiswe.

21 ‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koe kiate kinautolu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ko e ʻOtua māfimafi mo fakamanavahē.

Lingabesabi, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ophakathi kwenu, nguThixo omkhulu njalo owesabekayo.

22 Pea ʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kakai na mei ho ʻao ʻo faifai mālie pe: ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu, telia naʻa tupu ʻo lahi kiate koe ʻae fanga manu fekai ʻoe vao.

UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzazidudula lezozizwe phambi kwenu kancanekancane. Aliyikuvunyelwa ukuzibhubhisa ngasikhathi sinye ngoba izinyamazana zeganga zinganda zilihanqe.

23 Ka ʻe tuku mai ʻakinautolu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he fakaʻauha lahi, kaeʻoua kenau ʻauha.

Kodwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzabanikela kini, abaphazamise baze babhujiswe.

24 Pea ʻe tukuange ʻe ia honau ngaahi tuʻi ki ho nima, pea te ke fakaʻauha honau hingoa mei he lalo langi: ʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ha tangata ʻi ho ʻao, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻiate koe.

Amakhosi azo uzawanikela ezandleni zenu, njalo lizakwesula amabizo awo ngaphansi komkhathi. Kakho ozakwenelisa ukumelana lani, lizababhubhisa.

25 Ke mou tutuʻaki ʻae afi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kuo tā ʻo ʻenau ngaahi ʻotua: ʻoua naʻa ke holi ki he siliva pe ko e koula ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu, pea toʻo ia kiate koe, telia naʻa heleʻi ai koe: he koe meʻa fakalielia ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

Izithombe zabonkulunkulu bazo lizazitshisa ngomlilo. Lingahawukeli isiliva legolide eliphezu kwezithombe, lingazigcineli lona, ngoba lizabe selizibambisile emjibileni ngalo, ngoba liyisinengiso kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.

26 Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa fakalielia ki ho fale, telia naʻa ke hoko ko e meʻa malaʻia ʻo hangē ko ia: ka ke fehiʻa matemate ki ai, pea ke fakaliliʻa ki ai he ko e meʻa fakamalaʻia ia.

Lingalethi okunengisayo ezindlini zenu, ngoba lani njengakho lokho lizakhethelwa ukubhujiswa. Kwenyanyeni linengeke ngakho, ngoba kumiselwe ukutshabalaliswa.”
