Selemaia 40
1 Ko e folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia, hili hono tukuange ia mei Lama ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, he naʻe haʻisia ʻaki ia ʻae maea ukamea fihifihi fakataha mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema mo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ki Papilone.
Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini emva kokuthi uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi esemyekele wahamba esuka eRama, esemthethe ebotshiwe ngamaketane phakathi kwabo bonke ababethunjwe eJerusalema lakoJuda, abasiwa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni.
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo kia Selemaia, “Kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae kovi ni, ki he potu ni.
Induna yabalindi yasimthatha uJeremiya yathi kuye: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, yakhuluma lokhu okubi ngalindawo.
3 Pea ko eni, kuo fakahoko ia ʻe Sihova, pea kuo fai ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola: koeʻuhi kuo mou fai angahala kia Sihova, pea ʻikai talangofua ki hono leʻo, ko ia kuo hoko ai ʻae meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu.
INkosi isikulethile yakwenza njengokutsho kwayo, ngoba lonile eNkosini, kalilalelanga ilizwi layo; ngakho loludaba lwenzakele kini.
4 Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo u vete mei ho nima he ʻaho ni ʻae maea ukamea fihifihi. Pea kapau ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke tā ʻo mo au ki Papilone, haʻu; pea te u fai lelei kiate koe: pea kapau ʻoku kovi kiate koe ke tā ʻo mo au ki Papilone, tuku: vakai ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa pē: pea ko e potu ʻoku lelei mo ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻalu ki ai, ke ke ʻalu ki ai.”
Khathesi-ke, khangela, lamuhla ngiyakukhulula kulamaketane asezandleni zakho. Uba kukuhle emehlweni akho ukuya lami eBhabhiloni, woza, ngimise ilihlo lami phezu kwakho; kodwa uba kukubi emehlweni akho ukuya lami eBhabhiloni, yekela. Bona, ilizwe lonke liphambi kwakho; lapho kukuhle kuqondile emehlweni akho ukuhamba, hamba uye khona.
5 Pea ʻi he teʻeki ai te ne liliu atu, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko ia ke ke nofo mo Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ke ke nofo mo ia mo e kakai: pe te ke ʻalu ki ha potu ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke ʻalu ki ai,” Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae ʻoho mo e totongi, pea tukuange ia.
Kodwa engakabuyeli, wathi: Buyela kuGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, emmisileyo inkosi yeBhabhiloni abe phezu kwemizi yakoJuda, uhlale laye phakathi kwabantu; kumbe loba kungaphi lapho kuqondile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, hamba. Ngakho induna yabalindi yasimnika umphako lesipho, yamyekela ukuthi ahambe.
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Selemaia kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ʻi Misipa; ʻo nofo mo ia pea mo e kakai naʻe toe ʻi he fonua.
Ngakho uJeremiya wafika kuGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu eMizipa, wahlala laye phakathi kwabantu ababesele elizweni.
7 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae ʻeikitau kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, ʻakinautolu mo honau kakai, kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ke pule ʻi he fonua, pea kuo tukuange kiate ia ʻae kau tangata, mo e kau fefine, mo e fānau, pea mo e kakai masiva ʻoe fonua, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai fetuku fakapōpula ki Papilone;
Kwathi zonke induna zamabutho ezazisegangeni, zona kanye lamadoda azo, besizwa ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni ibekile uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu abe phezu kwelizwe, lokuthi inikele kuye amadodana labesifazana labantwana, lakwabangabayanga belizwe, kulabo ababengathunjelwanga eBhabhiloni,
8 Naʻa nau haʻu kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻio, ko ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea ko Sohanani mo Sonatani ko e ongo foha ʻo Kalia, pea ko Selaia ko e foha ʻo Tanumeti, pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIfai ko e tangata Nitofa, pea mo Seasania ko e foha ʻoe tangata mei Meaka, ʻakinautolu mo honau kau tangata.
khona beza kuGedaliya eMizipa, oIshmayeli, indodana kaNethaniya, loJohanani, loJonathani, amadodana kaKareya, loSeraya, indodana kaTanihumethi, lamadodana kaEfayi, umNetofa, loJezaniya, indodana yomMahakathi, bona lamadoda abo.
9 Pea naʻe fuakava kiate kinautolu mo ʻenau kakai ʻe Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē ke tauhi ki he kau Kalitia: mou nofo ʻi he fonua, pea tauhi ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ʻe lelei ia kiate kimoutolu.
UGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, wasefunga kibo lamadoda abo, esithi: Lingesabi ukusebenzela amaKhaladiya; hlalani elizweni, liyisebenzele inkosi yeBhabhiloni; khona kuzalilungela.
10 Pea ko eni, vakai, te u nofo ʻi Misipa, ke tauhi ʻae kau Kalitia, ʻakinautolu ʻe haʻu kiate kitautolu: ka ko kimoutolu, ke mou tānaki ʻae uaine, mo e ngaahi fua momoho, mo e lolo, pea tuku ia ki he ngaahi puha, pea nonofo ʻi homou ngaahi kolo ʻaia kuo mou maʻu.”
Khangelani-ke, mina ngihlala eMizipa ukuma phambi kobuso bamaKhaladiya azafika kithi; kodwa lina buthani iwayini lezithelo zehlobo lamafutha, likufake ezitsheni zenu, lihlale emizini yenu eliyithetheyo.
11 Pea kuo fanongo foki ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Moape, pea ʻi he kau ʻAmoni, pea ʻi ʻItomi, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngaahi potu, kuo tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae toenga kakai ʻi Siuta, pea kuo fakanofo ke pule kiate kinautolu ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani;
Futhi, lapho wonke amaJuda ayekoMowabi laphakathi kwabantwana bakoAmoni leEdoma lawayekuwo wonke amazwe esezwile ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni itshiyile insali yakoJuda, lokuthi yabeka phezu kwabo uGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani;
12 Naʻe liliu mai ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai, ʻonau haʻu ki he fonua ʻo Siuta, kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa: pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻae uaine mo e ngaahi fua momoho ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
wonke amaJuda asebuya esuka endaweni zonke ayexotshelwe khona, eza elizweni lakoJuda, kuGedaliya eMizipa; abutha iwayini lezithelo zehlobo, kwaba kunengi kakhulu.
13 Pea naʻe haʻu kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻa Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoe kau tau naʻe ʻi he ngoue.
UJohanani indodana kaKareya lazo zonke induna zamabutho ayesegangeni basebesiza kuGedaliya eMizipa,
14 Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo pau kuo fekau ʻe Pelisi ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoni ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ke tāmateʻi koe?” Ka naʻe ʻikai tui kiate kinautolu ʻe Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami.
bathi kuye: Uyakwazi isibili yini ukuthi uBhahalisi inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni uthume uIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ukukutshaya empilweni? Kodwa uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu kabakholwanga.
15 Pea naʻe lea fakafufū ʻa Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu, pea te u tāmateʻi ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha: te ne tāmateʻi koe, koeʻumaʻā; ke fakamovetevete ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē kuo fakataha kiate koe, pea ʻauha ʻae toenga kakai ʻi Siuta?”
UJohanani indodana kaKareya wasekhuluma loGedaliya ensitha eMizipa esithi: Ake ungiyekele ngihambe ngiyetshaya uIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, kungabi lamuntu okwaziyo. Uzakutshayelani empilweni, ukuze bahlakazeke bonke abakoJuda ababuthene kuwe, kubhubhe insali yakoJuda?
16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami kia Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke fai ʻae meʻa ni: he ʻoku ke lohiakiʻi ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli.”
Kodwa uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu wathi kuJohanani indodana kaKareya: Ungayenzi le indaba, ngoba uqamba amanga ngoIshmayeli.
