ʻIsikieli 42
1 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ki hono potu fakatokelau; pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he potu fale ʻaia naʻe hanga mai ki he potu ʻataʻatā ʻaia foki naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he fale ʻi hono feituʻu fakatokelau.
Wasengikhuphela egumeni elingaphandle, ngendlela ekhangele ngasenyakatho; wangiletha ekamelweni eliqondene lendawo eyehlukeneyo, njalo eliqondene lesakhiwo ngasenyakatho.
2 Ko hono lōloa ʻi hono potu ki he matapā ki tokelau, ko e kiupite ʻe teau, pea ko hono laulahi, ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu.
Phambi kobude bezingalo ezilikhulu kwakulomnyango wenyakatho; lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
3 Naʻe ngaohi ke fehāngaaki ʻae ngaahi hala ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻi he ngaahi fata ʻe tolu, ʻo feangai atu mo e kiupite ʻe uofulu naʻe tuku ko e lotoʻā ki loto, pea feʻunga mai mo e potu naʻe faliki ke lotoʻā ʻaki, kituʻa.
Maqondana lezingalo ezingamatshumi amabili ezazingezeguma langaphakathi, lamaqondana lendawo egandelweyo eyayingeyeguma elingaphandle, kwakulomkhandlo maqondana lomkhandlo, ngezitezi ezintathu.
4 Pea ʻi he mata fale naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hala, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu hono laulahi ki loto, mo e hala ʻoe kiupite ʻe taha; pea naʻe hanga hono ngaahi matapā ki he tokelau.
Laphambi kwamakamelo kwakulendawo yokuhamba ezingalo ezilitshumi ngobubanzi ngaphakathi, indlela eyingalo eyodwa, leminyango yawo yayingasenyakatho.
5 Ka ko eni naʻe fakanounou ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki ʻolunga, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻatā ange ʻa hono hala kituʻa ʻi ʻolunga, ʻi he hala ʻoe fata ki lalo, mo ia naʻe hoko ai.
Amakamelo angaphezulu-ke ayemafitshane; ngoba imikhandlo yayinciphisa kuwo, kulakwaphansi lakulakwaphakathi kwesakhiwo.
6 He naʻe fata tolu foki, ka naʻe ʻikai hano ngaahi pou, ʻo hangē ko e fakapou ʻoe ngaahi lotoʻā: ko ia naʻe ʻapiʻapi ai ʻae fale ʻolunga, ʻi hono potu ko ia naʻe ʻi lalo, mo ia naʻe hoko hake ai.
Ngoba ayelezitezi ezintathu, kodwa zazingelazinsika njengezinsika zamaguma; ngakho-ke isakhiwo sasinciphile kulakwaphansi lakulakwaphakathi kusukela emhlabathini.
7 Pea naʻe ʻi tuaʻā hono ʻā, ʻo hangatonu ia ki he ngaahi potu fale naʻe tuʻu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻi hono potu ki ʻao ʻoe ngaahi fale, pea ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu.
Lomduli owawungaphandle maqondana lamakamelo, indlela yeguma elingaphandle ngaphambi kwamakamelo, ubude bawo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
8 He ko e lōloa ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ʻaia naʻe ʻi he lotoʻā kituʻa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu: pea, vakai, ko hono lōloa ki hono potu ki ʻao ʻoe fale tapu ko e kiupite ʻe teau.
Ngoba ubude bamakamelo ayesegumeni elingaphandle babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu; khangela-ke, ngaphambi kwethempeli kwakuzingalo ezilikhulu.
9 Pea naʻe ai ʻae hūʻanga ʻi he potu ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ni, ki hono potu fakahahake ʻi he ʻaluʻanga ʻo ha taha ʻoku hū ki ai, mei he lotoʻā kituʻa.
Langaphansi kwalamakamelo kwakulokungena ngasempumalanga, lapho umuntu engena kuwo evela egumeni elingaphandle.
10 Naʻe ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻi he matolu ʻoe ʻā ʻoe lotoʻā, ki hono potu ki hahake, ʻo hangatonu mai ki he potu naʻe ʻataʻatā, pea mo e fale lahi.
Amakamelo ayesebubanzini bomduli weguma, indlela yempumalanga, ngaphambi kwendawo eyehlukanisiweyo, langaphambi kwesakhiwo.
11 Pea ko e hala ki muʻa ʻi ai naʻe mata tatau ia mo e ngaahi potu fale ki he potu tokelau, naʻe tatau hono lōloa mo ia, pea tatau mo hono laulahi: pea ko hono ngaahi kātupa naʻe tatau pe hono anga mo ia, pea tatau mo hono ngaahi matapā.
Lendlela phambi kwawo yayinjengesimo samakamelo ayesendleleni yenyakatho, njengobude bawo, ngokunjalo njengobubanzi bawo. Lakho konke ukuphuma kwawo kwakunjengokwemikhuba yawo lanjengokweminyango yawo.
12 Pea hangē ko e ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ʻaia naʻe hanga ki he feituʻu tonga, naʻe ai ʻae matapā ʻi he tefito hala, ʻio, ʻae hala naʻe hangatonu atu ki he ʻā, ki he potu hahake, ʻoka hū atu ha taha ki ai.
Lanjengokweminyango yamakamelo ayesendleleni yeningizimu kwakulomnyango esihlokweni sendlela, indlela phambi komduli oqondileyo, lapho umuntu engena indlela yempumalanga.
13 Hili ia naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi potu fale ki he tokelau mo e ngaahi potu fale ki he feituʻu tonga, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu mai ki he potu ʻataʻatā, ko e ngaahi potu fale tapu ia, ʻaia ʻe kai ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai kia Sihova, ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻaupito: te nau hilifaki ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻaupito, mo e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, mo e feilaulau ki he angahala, mo e feilaulau ki he fai hala; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae potu.
Wasesithi kimi: Amakamelo enyakatho lamakamelo eningizimu, aphambi kwendawo eyehlukanisiweyo, angamakamelo angcwele, lapho abapristi abasondela eNkosini abazakudla khona izinto ezingcwelengcwele; babeke khona izinto ezingcwelengcwele, lomnikelo wokudla, lomnikelo wesono, lomnikelo wecala, ngoba indawo ingcwele.
14 ʻOka hū atu ki ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe ʻalu atu mei he potu māʻoniʻoni ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ka ko e potu pe ko ia naʻa nau ngāue ai, ʻe tuku ʻi ʻai ʻa honau ngaahi kofu; he ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni; pea te nau ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe, ʻoka nau ka ʻalu ʻo kau ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻae kakai.”
Lapho abapristi bengena, kabayikuphuma endaweni engcwele baye egumeni elingaphandle, kodwa bazabeka lapho izembatho zabo abakhonza ngazo, ngoba zingcwele; bagqoke ezinye izembatho, basondele kukho okungokwabantu.
15 Pea hili ʻae fakaʻosi ʻe ia hono fuofua ʻoe fale ki loto, naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake, pea naʻa ne fua takatakai ia.
Eseqedile izilinganiso zendlu engaphakathi, wangikhupha ngendlela yesango elikhangele indlela yempumalanga, wayilinganisa inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo.
16 Naʻe fua ʻa hono potu fakahahake ʻaki ʻae kaho naʻe fuofua ʻaki, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau, ʻa hono fua takatakai ʻo ʻosi.
Walinganisa uhlangothi lwempumalanga ngomhlanga wokulinganisa, imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu, ngomhlanga wokulinganisa inhlangothi zonke.
17 Naʻa ne fua ʻae potu ki he tokelau ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau ʻi hono fua takatakai ʻaki ʻae kaho.
Walinganisa uhlangothi lwenyakatho, imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu, ngomhlanga wokulinganisa inhlangothi zonke.
18 Naʻa ne fua ʻae potu ki he feituʻu tonga ʻaki ʻae kaho, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau.
Walinganisa uhlangothi olungeningizimu, imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu, ngomhlanga wokulinganisa.
19 Naʻa ne foki atu ki he potu ki lulunga pea ne fua ʻaki ia ʻae kaho ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau.
Wasephendukela kuhlangothi lwentshonalanga, walinganisa imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu ngomhlanga wokulinganisa.
20 Naʻa ne fua ia ʻi hono potu ʻe fā: naʻe takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau hono lōloa, mo e nimangeau ʻa hono laulahi koeʻuhi ke fevahaʻanaki ai ʻae potu tapu mo e potu ngofua.
Wayilinganisa ezinhlangothini zozine. Yayilomduli inhlangothi zonke uzingelezele, ubude bangamakhulu amahlanu, lobubanzi bungamakhulu amahlanu, ukwehlukanisa phakathi kokungcwele lokungangcwele.
