ʻIsikieli 44
1 Hili ia naʻa ne toe ʻomi au ki mui ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻoe potu tapu kituʻa, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki hahake; pea naʻe tāpuni ia.
Emva kwalokho umuntu lowo wangibuyisela esangweni langaphandle lendlu engcwele, leli elikhangele empumalanga, njalo lalivaliwe.
2 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate au; “ʻE tāpuni ʻae matapā ni, pea ʻe ʻikai fakaava ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe hū atu ki ai; he koeʻuhi kuo hāʻele atu ai ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko ia ʻe tāpuni ai ia.
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Isango leli kumele lihlale livaliwe. Akumelanga livulwe; akulamuntu ongangena ngalo. Kumele lihlale livaliwe ngoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ungene ngalo.
3 Kuo tuku ia ki he tuʻi; ʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻae tuʻi ke kai mā ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ko ia ia ʻe hū atu ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻi he matapā ko ia, pea te ne toe ʻalu atu ai pe kituʻa.”
Inkosana yona ngokwayo yiyo kuphela engahlala phakathi kwesango ukuba idle phambi kukaThixo. Kuzamele ingene ngendlela yengenelo lesango njalo iphume ngayonaleyo indlela.”
4 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hala ʻi he matapā ki tokelau ʻi he mata fale: pea naʻaku sio, pea vakai, naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova; pea naʻaku tō hifo ki hoku mata.
Indoda leyo yangisa phambi kwethempeli ngendlela yesango lasenyakatho. Ngakhangela ngabona inkazimulo kaThixo igcwele ethempelini likaThixo, ngathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, tokanga lahi ho loto, pea sio ʻaki ho mata, pea fanongo ho telinga ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻoku kau ki he fale ʻo Sihova, mo hono ngaahi fekau; pea ke tokanga lahi ki he ngaahi hūʻanga ki loto fale, mo hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē kituʻa, mei he potu toputapu.”
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, khangela ngokunanzelela, ulalelisise njalo uqaphele konke engikutshela khona mayelana lemithetho yonke eqondane lethempeli likaThixo. Qaphela intuba lethempeli layo yonke iminyango yokuphuma yendlu engcwele.
6 Pea te ke lea ki he kau angatuʻu, ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, tuku ke lahi eni ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi fakalielia,
Tshono kuyo indlu ehlamukayo ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, kaziphele izenzo zakho ezinengayo!
7 He kuo mou ʻomi ʻae kakai muli, ʻae kau taʻekamu ʻi loto, pea taʻekamu fakakakano ke nau ʻi hoku potu toputapu ke nau fakalieliaʻi ia, ʻio, ʻa hoku fale, ʻi hoʻomou ʻatu ʻa ʻeku meʻa, ʻae ngako, pea mo e toto, pea kuo nau maumauʻi ʻa ʻeku fuakava, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia.
Phezu kwazo zonke ezinye izenzo zakho ezinengayo ungenise abezizweni abangasokanga enhliziyweni lasenyameni endlini yami engcwele, ungcolisa ithempeli lami lapho unginika ukudla, amafutha legazi, njalo wephula isivumelwano sami.
8 Pea kuo ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni; ka kuo mou fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo maʻamoutolu pe, ke tauhiʻi ʻa hoku potu toputapu.
Ekubeni wenze okumele ukwenze mayelana lezinto zami ezingcwele, wena wabeka abanye ukuba baphathe indlu yami engcwele.
9 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE ʻikai ha taha muli, pe ha taʻekamu ʻi loto, pe ha taʻekamu fakakakano, ʻe hū ki hoku potu toputapu, pe ha taha ʻi he kau muli kotoa pē ʻoku nofo mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Akulamuntu wezizweni ongasokanga enhliziyweni lasenyameni ozangena endlini yami engcwele ngitsho labezizweni abahlala phakathi kwama-Israyeli.
10 Pea ko e kau Livai naʻe ʻalu ʻo hē mamaʻo meiate au, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hēhē ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hē meiate au, ko e muimui ki honau ngaahi tamapua; te nau fua pe ʻekinautolu ʻa ʻenau fai angahala.
AbaLevi abaya khatshana lami lapho u-Israyeli wayeduhile njalo sebehlanhlathekele ezithombeni zabo besuka kimi, kumele bathwale umvuzo wesono sabo.
11 Ka neongo ia te nau tauhi ʻa hoku fale tapu, mo leʻohi ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale, mo fai ʻae ngāue ʻi loto fale: te nau tāmateʻi ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau ʻae kakai, pea te nau tutuʻu ʻi honau ʻao, mo ngāue kiate kinautolu.
Bangakhonza endlini yami engcwele, bephethe amasango ethempeli njalo bekhonza phakathi kwalo; bangahlabela abantu iminikelo leminikelo yokutshiswa njalo bame phambi kwabantu babasebenzele.
12 Koeʻuhi naʻa nau ngāue kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi tamapua, mo nau fakahalaʻi ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ko ia kuo u hiki hake ai ʻa hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea te nau fua ʻenau angahala.
Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi babasebenzela phambi kwezithombe zabo benza indlu ka-Israyeli yawela esonweni, ngakho sengifunge ngesandla siphakanyisiwe ukuthi kumele bathwale umvuzo wesono sabo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
13 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau haʻu ke ofi kiate au, ke fai ha ngāue fakataulaʻeiki kiate au, pe te nau ofi mai ki heʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he potu toputapu ʻaupito: ka te nau fua pe ʻenau mā, pea mo e ngaahi fakalielia ʻaia kuo nau fai.
Akumelanga basondele eduze ukuba bangikhonze njengabaphristi loba basondele eduze kwaloba yiphi yezinto zami ezingcwele loba iminikelo yami engcwele kakhulu; kumele bathwale ihlazo lezenzo zabo ezinengayo.
14 Ka te u tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauhi ki he nāunau ʻoe fale, ʻi hono ngāue ʻo ia, mo ia kotoa pē ʻe fai ʻi ai.
Ikanti ngizabenza baphathe imisebenzi yasethempelini kanye lemisebenzi yonke okumele yenziwe phakathi kwalo.
15 “Ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻae kau Livai, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Satoki, ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ki hoku fale tapu, ʻi heʻene ʻalu pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli meiate au, ko kinautolu ia ʻe ʻomi ke ofi kiate au, ke nau tauhi kiate au, pea te nau tutuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, ke feilaulau ʻaki kiate au, ʻae ngako mo e toto, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua:
Kodwa abaphristi, abangabaLevi njalo beyinzalo kaZadokhi abasebenza ngokuthembeka imisebenzi yasendlini yami engcwele lapho ama-Israyeli ayengihlamukele, kumele basondele eduze ukuba bakhonze phambi kwami; kumele bame phambi kwami ukuba banikele umhlatshelo wamafutha legazi, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
16 Te nau hū atu ki hoku potu tapu, pea te nau ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki heʻeku keinangaʻanga, ke fai ngāue kiate au, pea te nau tauhi ʻa ʻeku fekau.
Bona kuphela kumele bangene endlini yami engcwele; bona kuphela kumele basondele phansi kwetafula lami ukuba bakhonze phambi kwami benze umsebenzi wami.
17 Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ʻoka nau ka hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, te nau kofuʻaki ʻae kofu tupenu lelei; ʻe ʻikai siʻi kau ha kofu sipi ki heʻenau kofu, ʻoka nau ka fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, pe ʻi loto.
Lapho bengena emasangweni eguma langaphakathi kumele bagqoke izigqoko zelineni; akumelanga bagqoke isigqoko sewulu lapho bekhonza emasangweni eguma kumbe phakathi kwethempeli.
18 Te nau tatā ʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei ki honau ʻulu, pea te nau kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei ki honau kongaloto; ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻai kiate kinautolu ha meʻa ʻoku fakatupu pupuha.
Kumele bagqoke amaqhiye elineni emakhanda abo lezigqoko zangaphansi zelineni ezinkalweni zabo. Akumelanga bagqoke into ezabaginqisa.
19 Pea ka nau ka ʻalu atu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻio, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa ki he kakai, te nau toʻo honau ngaahi kofu naʻa nau ngāue ai, mo tuku ia ʻi he ngaahi potu fale māʻoniʻoni, pea te nau ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ngaahi kofu.
Lapho besiya phandle egumeni langaphandle lapho okulabantu khona, kumele bakhuphe izigqoko ababekhonza bezigqokile njalo kumele bazitshiye ezindlini ezingcwele, bagqoke ezinye izigqoko, ukuze bangangcwelisi abantu ngezembatho zabo.
20 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tekefua, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ke lōloa honau louʻulu, ka ʻe kosikosi pe ke nounou.
Akumelanga baphuce amakhanda abo kumbe bayekele inwele zabo zikhula zisiba zinde; kodwa kumele bagcine inwele zabo zigundiwe.
21 Pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi inu ha uaine ʻe ha taulaʻeiki ʻoka fai ʻe ia ke hū ki he lotoʻā ki loto.
Akulamphristi ozanatha iwayini lapho engena iguma langaphakathi.
22 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau uaifi ʻaki ha fefine kuo mate ʻa hono husepāniti, pe ha taha kuo fakamavae: ka tenau mali mo e kau finemui ʻi he hako ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko e fefine naʻe mali mo ha taulaʻeiki kuo pekia.
Akumelanga bathathe abafelokazi loba abesifazane abehlukana labomkabo; kumele bathathe izintombi ezimsulwa kuphela ezenzalo yako-Israyeli loba abafelokazi babaphristi.
23 Pea te nau akoʻi ʻa hoku kakai ke ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mo ia ʻoku kovi, mo nau fakahā ke mahino kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa ʻoku taʻemaʻa mo ia ʻoku maʻa.
Kumele bafundise abantu bami umahluko phakathi kokungcwele lokwabantu bonke babatshengise indlela yokwehlukanisa phakathi kokungcolileyo lokuhlanzekileyo.
24 Pea ka ai ha fakakikihi, ko kinautolu ia ʻe tuʻu ko hono fakamaauʻi; pea te nau fakamaauʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku fakamaau: pea te nau fai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻi he ngaahi fakataha kotoa pē ʻoku fai kiate au; pea te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu.
Lapho kulombango abaphristi bazasebenza njengabahluleli baqume mayelana lezimiso zami. Kumele bagcine imithetho yami lezimemezelo zami kuyo yonke imikhosi yami emisiweyo, njalo kumele bagcine amaSabatha ami engcwele.
25 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki ha taha kuo mate, ke nau ʻuli ai: ka ʻe ngofua ʻenau fakaʻuliʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo kapau ko haʻanau tamai, pe ko e faʻē, pe ko e foha pe ko e ʻofefine, pe ko ha tokoua, pe ha tuofefine ʻoku ʻikai ke mali.
Umphristi akumelanga azingcolise ngokuya phansi komuntu ofileyo; kodwa-ke nxa umuntu ofileyo ubenguyise loba unina, indodana yakhe kumbe indodakazi, umfowabo kumbe udadewabo ongendanga, lapho angazingcolisa.
26 Pea hili hono fakamaʻa ia, te nau lau kiate ia ha ʻaho ʻe fitu.
Emva kokuba esehlanjululiwe, uzakuma insuku eziyisikhombisa.
27 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ne hū atu ai ki he potu tapu, ki he lotoʻā ki loto, ke ngāue ʻi he potu tapu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te ne feilaulau ʻaki maʻana ha feilaulau ʻi he angahala.
Ngosuku azakuya ngalo egumeni langaphakathi lendlu engcwele ukuba enze inkonzo endlini engcwele, kumele azinikelele umnikelo wesono, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
28 Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tofiʻa kiate kinautolu: ko au ko honau tofiʻa: pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai vahe ai hanau tofiʻa ʻi ʻIsileli: he ko honau tofiʻa au.
Mina ngizakuba yilona lifa kuphela abaphristi abalalo. Akukho lifa ozabapha lona ko-Israyeli; mina ngizakuba yilifa labo.
29 Te nau kai mei he feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala, mo e feilaulau ʻi he fai hala; pea ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi ʻIsileli.
Bazakudla iminikelo yamabele, iminikelo yesono leminikelo yecala; kanye lakho konke okuko-Israyeli okwahlukaniselwe uThixo kuzakuba ngokwabo.
30 Pea ʻe ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻuluaki vahe ʻi he ʻuluaki fua ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē, mo e feilaulau kotoa pē ʻi hoʻomou feilaulau kehekehe: te mou ʻatu foki ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻuluaki vahe ʻo hoʻomou mā kuo natu, koeʻuhi ke hoko ai mo nofomaʻu ʻae tāpuaki ki homou fale.
Okuhle kakhulu kwazo zonke izithelo zakho zakuqala lokwezipho zenu ezikhethiweyo kuzakuba ngokwabaphristi. Kumele libaphe ingxenye yakuqala yempuphu yenu echoliweyo ukuze isibusiso sihlale endlini yenu.
31 ʻE ʻikai kai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi ha meʻa kuo mate mahaki pe, pe ʻi ha meʻa kuo haehae pe ko ha manupuna pe ko ha manu kehe ia.”
Abaphristi akumelanga badle loba yini, inyoni kumbe inyamazana, etholakale ifile kumbe idlithizwe yizinyamazana zeganga.’”
