< ʻIsikieli 6 >

1 Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, likisema,
2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kikite ki ai,
“Mwana wa adamu, weka uso wako dhidi ya milima ya Israeli na uwatabirie.
3 Mo pehē, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngaahi tafungofunga mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa; Vakai ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate kimoutolu, pea te u fakaʻauha homou ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
Sema, 'Milima ya Israeli, silikilizeni neno la Bwana Yahwe! Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwenye milima kwenye vilele, kwenye vijito na kwenye mabonde: Tazama! Naleta upanga dhidi yenu, na nitapaharibu pahali penu pa juu.
4 Pea ʻe liʻaki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe maumauʻi homou ngaahi tamapua: pea te u lī hifo ʻa hoʻomou mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi tamapua.
Kisha madhabahu zenu zitakuwa ukiwa na nguzo zenu zitaharibiwa, na nitatupa chini wafu wenu mbele ya sanamu zao.
5 Pea te u tuku ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tamapua; pea te u tūtuuʻi takatakai homou hui ʻi he ngaahi feilaulauʻanga.
Nitalaza miili iliyokufa kwa watu wa Israeli mbele ya sanamu zao, na kuitawanya mifupa yenu kuzizunguka madhabahu zenu.
6 Pea ʻe fakalala homou ngaahi kolo ʻi homou potu nofoʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe ngaongao homou ngaahi potu fakaʻeiʻeiki; koeʻuhi ke veteki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mo liʻaki, pea maumauʻi mo fakaʻosi homou ngaahi ʻotua, pea hifi ki lalo homou ngaahi tamapua, pea fakaʻauhamālie hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue.
Kila mahali utaishi, miji itaharibiwa na mahali pa juu kuangamia, hivyo basi madhabahu zenu zitaharibiwa na kufanywa ukiwa. Kisha zitavunjwa na kupotea, nguzo zenu zitaangushwa chini na kazi zenu zitafutwa mbali.
7 Pea ʻe tō hifo ʻae mate tāmateʻi ʻi loto ʻiate koe, pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.
Waliokufa wataanguka chini kati yenu nanyi mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
8 “Ka te u tuku ha toenga, koeʻuhi ke ai haʻamou niʻihi ʻe hao mei he heletā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻoka movetevete ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi fonua.
Lakini nitahifadhi mabaki kwenu, na kutakuwa na wale watakao toroka upanga miongoni mwa mataifa,
9 Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hao ʻiate kimoutolu te nau manatu kiate au, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia ʻe ʻave pōpula ki ai ʻakinautolu, ʻo kau ka fesiʻi honau loto angahala naʻe mamaʻo ʻiate au, mo honau mata naʻe sio holi pe ki honau ngaahi tamapua: pea te nau fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kovi ʻaia kuo nau fai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia.
Kisha wale watakao toroka watanikumbuka miongoni mwa mataifa amabapo watakapochukuliwa mateka, ndivyo nitakavoyowaponda mioyo yao ya kikahaba ambayo imeniacha, na kwa macho yao ya kikahaba kufuata sanamu zao. Kisha wataonyesha chuki kwenye nyuso zao kwa udhaifu walioufanya kwa machukizo yao yote.
10 Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te u lea vaʻinga ʻaki ʻa ʻeku pehē te u fai ʻae kovi ni kiate kinautolu.”
Hivyo watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe. Kulikuwa na sababu kwamba nimesema nitaleta huu uovu kwao.
11 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ke pasi ho nima pea malakaki ho vaʻe, pea ke pehē, ʻOiauē ʻae ngaahi kovi fakalielia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli! He te nau tō ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Piga makofi na kanyaga kwa mguu wako! Sema! 'Ole!' kwa sababu ya uovu wote wa chukizo wa nyumba ya Israeli! Wataanguka kwa upanga, njaa, na tauni.
12 Ko ia ʻoku nofo mamaʻo ʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha; pea ko ia ʻoku ofi ʻe tō ʻi he heletā; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ʻi he nofo kolo ʻe mate ʻi he honge: ʻe pehē ʻeku fakahoko hoku houhau kiate kinautolu.
Yule aliye mbali sana atakufa kwa tauni, na yule aliyekaribu ataanguka kwa upanga. Wale watakaobaki na kuishi watakufa kwa upanga. Kwa njia hii ndivyo nitakavyo kamilisha madhabahu yangu dhidi yao.
13 Pea te nau toki ʻilo, tā ko au ko Sihova, ʻoka tuku honau kakai tāmatea fakataha mo honau ngaahi tamapua ʻo takatakai ʻi honau ngaahi ʻesifeilaulau, ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻi he lolo ʻakau moʻui kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻoke lau maʻuiʻui ʻaia ne ʻatu ai ʻae namu kakala ki honau ngaahi tamapua.
Kisha mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, wakati waliokufa watakapolala kati ya sanamu zao, kuzizunguka madhabahu, kwa kila mlima mrefu-juu ya vilele vya mlima, na chini ya mti wenye majani mabichi na mwalo mnene-sehemu wanapochomea ubani kwa sanamu zao zote.
14 ‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku mafao atu hoku nima kiate kinautolu, mo fakaʻauha ʻae fonua, ʻio, ʻe lahi hake ʻae lala ʻo honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, ʻi he toafa ko Tipilate; pea te nau ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova.”
Nitapiga kwa mkono wangu na kuifanya nchi ukiwa na isiyofaa, kutoka jangwa hata Dibla, kupita sehemu zote wanapoishi. Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”
