< Semisi 1 >

1 Ko au Semisi, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ki he faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua kuo fakahē mamaʻo, ʻofa atu.
Neni Yakobu, ntumintumi gwa Mlungu na gwa Mtuwa Yesu Kristu, nuwalembera mwenga makabila lilongu na mawili ga Israeli yagaweriti kila pahala pasipanu! Nuwalamsiya.
2 ‌ʻE hoku kāinga, ʻoka mou ka tō ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kehekehe, ui ia kotoa pē ko e meʻa fakafiefia;
Walongu wangu, muliholi kuwera na nemeleru nakamu pampatwa na majeru ga ntambu yingiyingi,
3 ‌ʻO ʻilo, ko e ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻo hoʻomou tui, ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae kātaki.
muvimana handa kujerwa kwa njimiru yenu hayiwapanani uhepelera.
4 Kae tuku ʻae kātaki ke ngāue ki he haohaoa, koeʻuhi ke mou haohaoa mo māʻopoʻopo, ʻo taʻemasiva ʻi ha meʻa.
Muweri na unakaka kuwera uhepelera wenu hawumalili lihengu mngati mwenu, mpati kuwera teratera na wagangamala pota kupungukiwa shoseri.
5 Ka ai hamou taha ʻoku masiva ʻi he poto, ke kole ʻe ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki lahi ki he kakai kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokiʻi; pea ʻe foaki ia kiate ia.
Kumbiti handa yumu gwenu kahera luhala, su kafiruwa kumluwa Mlungu, nayomberi hakamupanani, toziya Mlungu kawapanani woseri kwa uvuwa na kwa mawoku mawili.
6 Ka ʻe lelei ʻene kole ʻi he tui, ʻo taʻefakataʻetaʻetui. He ko ia ʻoku fakataʻetaʻetui ʻoku hangē ia ko e peau ʻoe tahi ʻoku fakateka mo feliliʻaki ʻe he matangi.
Kumbiti kafiluwa kuluwa kwa njimiru pota na shashatika. Muntu yakawera na shashatika ndo kawera gambira makupala ga mubahali, geni gasukumwa na kwaswakwaswa na lipuga.
7 Ke ʻoua naʻa mahalo ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ha meʻa mei he ʻEiki.
Su muntu yakawera na maholu gingi, nakalihola kuwera kapata shoseri shilii kulawa kwa Mtuwa.
8 Ko e tangata ʻoku lotolotoua, ʻoku taʻemaau ʻi heʻene anga kotoa pē.
Toziya muntu yakawera na maholu gingi, kagalambuka galambuka munjira zyakuwi.
9 Ke fiefia ʻae tokoua ʻoku masiva ʻi hono hakeakiʻi:
Mlongu yakawera muhushu, kafiruwa kunemelera kwa kukweniziwa kwakuwi,
10 Ka ko e maʻumeʻa, ʻi hono fakaangavaivaiʻi: koeʻuhi ʻe mole atu ia ʻo hangē ko e fisi ʻoe mohuku.
nayomberi mlunda kafiruwa kunemelera kwa kusulusiwa kwakuwi, toziya mlunda hakawuki gambira uluwa wa kuntundu.
11 He ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā mo e vela lahi, pea ne fakamae ʻae mohuku, pea ngangana ai hono fisi ʻoʻona, pea ʻauha mo e fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo hono ngaohi: ʻe pehē foki ʻae ʻauha ʻoe tangata koloaʻia mei hono hala.
Mshenji gulawira na kwa livuki lyakuwi likalipa liyumiziya vimeru, na uluwa wakuwi utuluka na uherepa wakuwi woseri upera. Ntambu iraa ayi mlunda nayomberi akagamiziwi mumahengu gakuwi.
12 ‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ne kātaki ʻae ʻahiʻahi: he ʻoka ʻilo ia ʻoku lelei, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae pale ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia kuo talaʻofa ki ai ʻae ʻEiki kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia.
Mbaka muntu yakasigala mwaminika mumajeru, toziya pakahepelera, hakanki lijenjeri lyakuwi, ukomu ulii Mlungu wakawalagiliti walii yawamfira.
13 Ke ʻoua naʻa pehē ʻe ha taha ʻoka ʻahiʻahi [koviʻi ]ia, Kuo ʻahiʻahi [koviʻi ]au ʻe he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻe he kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻahiʻahi[koviʻi ]ʻe ia ha tokotaha:
Handa muntu pakajerwa nakalonga, “Njerwa na Mlungu!” Toziya Mlungu hapeni kajerwi na ukondola, ama hapeni kamujeri muntu yoseri.
14 Ka kuo ʻahiʻahi [koviʻi ]ʻae tangata, ʻaia kuo takiekina, pea fakaoloolo, ʻe heʻene holi ʻaʻana.
Kumbiti muntu kazyangalirwa pakanikwa na kugomuziwa na matamata zyakuwi zidoda.
15 Pea ʻoka tuituʻia ʻae holi kovi, ʻoku fanauʻi ko e angahala: pea ka kakato ʻae angahala, ʻoku fanauʻi ai ʻae mate.
Shakapanu matamata payiwula ilera vidoda, na vidoda pavikamala vilera kuhowa.
16 ‌ʻE hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa mou hē.
Walongu wangu yanuwafira, muntu nakawapayira!
17 Ko e foaki lelei kotoa pē mo e foaki haohaoa kotoa pē ʻoku mei ʻolunga, pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ia mei he Tamai ʻoe ngaahi maama, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha fetoʻoaki, pe ko e ʻata ʻae feliliuʻaki.
Kila lifupu liherepa na lyalikamilika lilawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu Tati, yakanyawiti miweru yoseri yaiwera kulyera. Mlungu hapeni kagalambuki ama kuwera na ntambu ya kugalambuka.
18 Pea ko hono finangalo pe ʻoʻona naʻa ne fakatupu ai ʻakitautolu ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni, koeʻuhi ke tau hoko ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻi hono kakai.
Kwa kufira kwakuwi mweni katupananiti ukomu kwa shisoweru shakuwi shanakaka, su tuweri gambira mabenu ga kwanja pakati pa viwumbi vyakuwi.
19 Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ke fakavave ʻae tangata kotoa pē ki he fanongo, pea fakatuotuai ki he lea, ʻo fakatotoka ki he ʻita:
Walongu wangu yanuwafira, mushiholi shisoweru ashi, kila muntu kapikaniri kamkamu, kumbiti nakalopokera kulonga ama kukalala.
20 He ʻoku ʻikai ke fakatupu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua ʻe he ʻita ʻae tangata.
Muntu yakawera na maya kaweza ndiri kutenda galii yagamfiriziya Mlungu yagawera ga nakaka.
21 Ko ia mou liʻaki ʻae ʻuli kotoa pē pea mo hono lahi fau ʻoe angahala, pea tali ʻi he angavaivai ʻae folofola kuo tō, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi ke fakamoʻui homou laumālie.
Hangu, muleki kutali vitwatira vyoseri vidoda na matendu madoda gavuwa gageneya, mumjimiri Mlungu na kwanka shisoweru shashiyalitwi mumyoyu mwenu, na shiweza kuwalopoziya.
22 Ka ke fai ʻekimoutolu ki he folofola, pea ʻoua naʻa ngata ʻi he fanongo, ʻo mou kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu.
Namulipayira mwaweni kwa kupikinira hera shisoweru sha Mlungu, su mtendi ntambu yashilonga.
23 He kapau ʻoku fanongo ʻe ha taha ki ne folofola, kae ʻikai fai, ʻoku tatau ia mo ha taha ʻoku ne fakasio ki he mata ʻo hono sino ʻi ha sioʻata:
Toziya muntu yakapikanira hera shisoweru pota kutenda ntambu yashilonga, kalifana na muntu yakalilola sheni shakuwi mweni mushiloleru.
24 He ʻoku ne fakasio kiate ia, pea ʻalu, pea ngalo leva ʻiate ia pe ʻoku matamata fēfē ia.
Kalilolaga, shakapanu kagenda zyakuwi, na katepu kalyaluwa ntambu yakawera.
25 Ka ko ia ʻoku sio fakamamaʻu ki he fono haohaoa ʻoe tauʻatāina, pea fai maʻuaipē ki ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai fanongo mo ngalo, ka ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue, ʻe monūʻia ʻae tangata ni ʻi heʻene ngāue.
Kumbiti muntu yakalilola weri lilagaliru teratera lyaliwapanana wantu ulekeru, na yakendereya kulikolera, na kulipikanira ndiri hera na shakapanu kulilyaluwa, kumbiti kalitenda nakamu, muntu ayu hakatekelerwi mukila shintu shakatenda.
26 Kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne mahalo ko e lotu ia, kae ʻikai taʻofi hono ʻelelo, kae kākaaʻi hono loto ʻoʻona, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae lotu ʻae tangata ko ia.
Handa muntu pakalishera kuwera yomberi ndo muntu gwa njira ya kumfata Mlungu, kumbiti kaweza ndiri kululewelera lulimi lwakuwi, su kalipayira mweni, na njira yakuwi ya kumfata Mlungu yahera mota.
27 Ko e lotu māʻoniʻoni mo taʻehanomele ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ko eni ia, Ke ʻaʻahi ki he ngaahi tamai mate mo e kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, ʻi heʻenau mamahi, pea ke fakaʻehiʻehi ia mei māmani ke taʻehanomele.
Njira yaiherepa ya kumfata Mlungu na yahera likosa kulongolu kwa Mlungu Tati ndo ayi. Kuwatanga washiwa na wakenja mutabu zyawu, na kulilolera weri weni nawudodisiwa pasipanu.
