Selemaia 50

1 Ko e folofola eni naʻe folofola ʻaki ʻe Sihova ki Papilone, pea mo e fonua ko Kalitia, ʻia Selemaia ko e palōfita.

Ilizwi iNkosi eyalikhuluma imelene leBhabhiloni, imelene lelizwe lamaKhaladiya, ngesandla sikaJeremiya umprofethi, lisithi:

2 “Fakahā ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea fakaʻilo, pea hiki hake ʻae fuka: fakaʻilo, pea ʻoua naʻa fakafufū: fakahā kuo kapa ʻa Papilone, kuo fakamaaʻi ʻa Peli, kuo maumauʻi ke lailai ʻa Melotaki; kuo fakamaaʻi ʻene ngaahi tamapua, kuo laiki ʻaupito hono ngaahi meʻa fakatātā.’

Memezani phakathi kwezizwe, lizwakalise; misani uphawu, lizwakalise, lingakufihli, lithi: IBhabhiloni ithunjiwe, uBheli uyangekile, uMerodaki ubhidliziwe; izithombe zayo ziyangisiwe, imifanekiso yayo ibhidliziwe.

3 “He kuo haʻu kiate ia ʻae puleʻanga mei he tokelau, ʻaia te ne fakalala hono fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ki ai ha taha: te nau hiki, te nau ʻalu, ʻae tangata mo e manu fakatouʻosi.”

Ngoba isizwe senyuka simelene layo esivela enyakatho, esizakwenza ilizwe layo libe lunxiwa, ukuze kungabi lomhlali kulo; kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni kuyabaleka kuhambile.

4 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu mo e fānau ʻa Siuta fakataha, te nau ʻalu mo e tangi: te nau ʻalu pea kumi kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua.

Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi, itsho iNkosi, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazakuza, bona labantwana bakoJuda kanyekanye; behamba bekhala inyembezi, bazahamba, bedinga iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo.

5 Te nau fehuʻi ki he hala ki Saione, pea fakahanga honau mata ki ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Haʻu ke tau fakataha ʻakitautolu kia Sihova ʻi he fuakava taʻengata ʻaia ʻe ʻikai fakangaloʻi.’

Bazabuza indlela eZiyoni, ubuso babo bukhangele ngakuyo; wozani, lizihlanganise leNkosi ngesivumelwano esiphakade esingayikukhohlakala.

6 “Ko hoku kakai ko e fanga sipi kuo mole: kuo fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe honau kau tauhi, kuo nau fakaafe ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi moʻunga: kuo nau ʻalu mei he moʻunga ki he moʻunga, kuo nau fakangalongaloʻi ʻa honau mālōlōʻanga.

Abantu bami bebeyizimvu ezilahlekileyo; abelusi babo babaduhisile, bebaphendulela ezintabeni; bahamba besuka entabeni besiya eqaqeni, bakhohlwa indawo yabo yokulala.

7 Naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻekinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe pehē ʻe honau ngaahi fili, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te mau fai kovi, koeʻuhi kuo nau fai angahala kia Sihova, ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe angatonu, ʻio, kia Sihova, ko e ʻamanaki leleiʻanga ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.’

Bonke ababatholayo babadla, lezitha zabo zathi: Kasiyikuba lacala, ngenxa yokuthi bonile eNkosini, ikhaya lokulunga, ngitsho iNkosi, ithemba laboyise.

8 “Mou hiki ʻi Papilone, pea ʻalu ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea te mou hangē ko e fanga kosi tangata, ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻi he fanga manu.

Balekani liphume phakathi kweBhabhiloni, liphume elizweni lamaKhaladiya, libe njengezimpongo phambi komhlambi.

9 “Vakai, he te u langa pea ʻomi ki Papilone, ʻae fakataha ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga lahi mei he fonua tokelau: pea te nau teu tau kiate ia; pea te nau ʻave ia; ko ʻenau ngaahi ngahau ʻoku tatau mo e ngaahi ngahau ʻae tangata tau ʻoku poto; pea ʻe ʻikai foki taʻeʻaonga mai ha taha.

Ngoba khangela, ngizavusa ngenze ukuthi kwenyukele eBhabhiloni ixuku lezizwe ezinkulu zivela elizweni lenyakatho, zizihlele zimelene layo; kusukela lapho zithunjwe; imitshoko yakhe njengeqhawe elilamandla kayiyikubuyela ize.

10 Pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kalitia ko e papaniʻanga; pea ʻe fiemālie ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku papani mei ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

Njalo iKhaladiya izakuba yimpango; bonke abayiphangayo bazasutha, itsho iNkosi.

11 “ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kau fakaʻauha ʻo hoku tofiʻa, koeʻuhi kuo mou nekeneka, pea kuo mou fiefia, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou sino ʻo hangē ko e manu mui ʻoku kai mohuku, pea tangi ʻo hangē ko e fanga hoosi mālohi;

Ngoba lalijabula, ngoba lathokoza, lina bachithi belifa lami, ngoba liqolotsha njengethokazi etshanini, likhonye njengamabhiza amaduna;

12 ‌ʻE puputuʻu lahi ʻa hoʻomou faʻē; ʻe mā lahi ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻakimoutolu: vakai, te ke hoko ko e kimui ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, ko e potu lala, ko e fonua mōmoa, pea ko e toafa.

unyoko ulenhloni kakhulu, owalizalayo uyangekile. Khangela, ingemuva yezizwe iyinkangala eyomileyo lelugwadule.

13 ‌ʻE ʻikai fakakakai ia koeʻuhi ko e houhau ʻo Sihova, ka ʻe fakalala ʻaupito ia: ʻe ofo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi Papilone, pea fakaʻiseʻisa koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi tautea.

Ngenxa yolaka lweNkosi kayiyikuhlalwa, kodwa izakuba yincithakalo yonke; wonke owedlula eBhabhiloni uzamangala kakhulu, ancife ngenxa yazo zonke inhlupheko zayo.

14 Mou teu tau ki Papilone ʻo kāpui ia: ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa teke ʻae kaufana, fanaʻi ia, pea ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ʻae ngaahi ngahau: koeʻuhi kuo ne fai angahala kia Sihova.

Zihleleleni ukumelana leBhabhiloni inhlangothi zonke, lina lonke eligobisa idandili, litshoke kuyo, lingagodli mtshoko, ngoba yonile eNkosini.

15 Kalanga ʻakimoutolu ʻoku takatakai ia: kuo ne tuku mai hono nima: kuo hinga hono ngaahi tuʻunga, kuo holoki hifo hono ngaahi ʻā: koeʻuhi ko e houhau ia ʻo Sihova: mou totongi kiate ia; fai kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai ʻe ia.

Memezani limelene layo inhlangothi zonke; isinike isandla sayo, izisekelo zayo ziwile, imiduli yayo idiliziwe; ngoba lokho kuyimpindiselo yeNkosi; phindiselani kuyo, lenze kuyo njengokwenza kwayo.

16 Tuʻusi ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi mei Papilone, pea mo ia ʻoku ala ki he hele tuʻusi ʻi he ututaʻu: he ko e manavahē ki he heletā ʻoe fakaʻauha, te nau taki taha afe ai ki hono kakai, pea te nau taki taha hola ki hono fonua.

Qumani umhlanyeli asuke eBhabhiloni, laye ophatha isikela ngesikhathi sokuvuna; ngenxa yenkemba ecindezelayo bazaphenduka, ngulowo lalowo kwabakibo, babaleke, ngulowo lalowo elizweni lakibo.

17 “Ko e sipi hē ʻa ʻIsileli; kuo fakahēʻi ia ʻe he fanga laione: kuo tomuʻa keina ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia; pea muimui ʻa Nepukanesa ni ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone kuo ne fesiʻi hono ngaahi hui.

UIsrayeli uyimvu ehlakazekileyo; izilwane zimxotshile; kuqala inkosi yeAsiriya yamudla, emva kwalokho lo uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni wephule amathambo akhe.

18 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u tautea ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone pea mo hono fonua, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tautea ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.

Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangela, ngizayijezisa inkosi yeBhabhiloni lelizwe layo, njengalokho ngayijezisa inkosi yeAsiriya.

19 Pea te u toe ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli ki hono nofoʻanga, pea ʻe fafanga ia ʻi Kameli mo Pesani, pea ʻe mākona hono laumālie ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi mo Kiliati.”

Njalo ngizabuyisela uIsrayeli endaweni yakhe yokuhlala, njalo uzadlisa eKharmeli leBashani, lomphefumulo wakhe usuthe entabeni yakoEfrayimi leGileyadi.

20 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻe kumi ki ha angahala ʻa ʻIsileli, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia; pea mo e angahala ʻa Siuta, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiloa: he te u fakamolemole ʻakinautolu ʻaia kuo u fakatoe.

Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi, itsho iNkosi, kuzadingwa ububi koIsrayeli, kodwa bungabi khona, lezono zikaJuda, kodwa zingatholwa; ngoba ngizabathethelela labo engibenza babe yinsali.

21 “ʻAlu hake ki he fonua ʻoe kau angatonu, te u tau kiate ia, mo e kakai ʻo Pikote:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ngaohi ke lala mo fakaʻauha ʻa honau hako, pea fai ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe.

Umelene lelizwe leMerathayimi, yenyuka umelene layo, njalo umelene labahlali bePhekhodi; uchithe, utshabalalise emva kwabo, itsho iNkosi, wenze njengakho konke engikulaye khona.

22 ‌ʻOku ai ʻae longolongo tau ʻi he fonua, pea mo e fakaʻauha lahi.

Umsindo wempi uselizweni, lokuchitheka okukhulu.

23 Hono ʻikai tuʻusi mo maumauʻi ʻae hamala ʻo māmani kotoa pē! Hono ʻikai hoko ʻa Papilone ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga!

Yeka ukuganyulwa lokwephuka kwesando somhlaba wonke! Yeka ukwenziwa kweBhabhiloni unxiwa phakathi kwezizwe!

24 ‌ʻE Papilone kuo u ʻai ʻae tauhele kiate koe, pea kuo ke moʻua foki, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo: kuo ʻilo koe, pea kuo maʻu koe foki, koeʻuhi kuo ke angatuʻu kia Sihova.

Ngakuthiya ngomjibila, futhi lawe wathunjwa, Bhabhiloni, lawe wawungazi; watholwa, futhi wabanjwa, ngoba waphikisana leNkosi.

25 Kuo fakaava ʻe Sihova hono fale mahafutau, pea kuo ʻomi mei ai ʻae ngaahi mahafu ʻo hono houhau: he ko e ngāue eni ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Kalitia.

INkosi ivulile isiphala sayo, yakhupha izikhali zolaka lwayo, ngoba lokhu kungumsebenzi weNkosi uJehova wamabandla elizweni lamaKhaladiya.

26 Haʻu kiate ia mei he ngaahi potu mamaʻo, fakaava ʻa hono ngaahi feleoko: pea laku hake ia ke hangē ko e ngaahi tafungofunga, pea fakaʻauha ia; ʻoua naʻa fakatoe ha meʻa siʻi kiate ia.

Wozani limelane layo livela ephethelweni, livule izibuya zayo, liyibuthelele njengezinqumbi, liyitshabalalise, ingabi lansali.

27 Tāmateʻi ʻene fanga pulu kotoa pē, tuku ke nau ʻalu hifo ki he tāmateʻi: ʻe malaʻia ʻakinautolu! He kuo hokosia honau ʻaho, ko e kuonga ʻo honau ʻaʻahi.”

Bulalani amajongosi ayo wonke, kawehlele ekuhlatshweni. Maye kuwo! Ngoba usuku lwawo lufikile, isikhathi sempindiselo yawo.

28 Ko e leʻo ʻokinautolu ʻoku hola pea hao mei he fonua ʻo Papilone, ke fakahā ʻi Saione ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ko e totongi koeʻuhi ko hono fale tapu.

Ilizwi lababalekayo labaphunyukayo bevela elizweni leBhabhiloni, ukuze bamemeze eZiyoni impindiselo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, impindiselo yethempeli layo.

29 “Ui ke fakataha ʻae kau tangata fakakaufana ki Papilone: ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku teke ʻae kaufana, mou nofo takatakai ki ai; ke ʻoua naʻa hao ha taha mei ai: totongi kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngāue; fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne fai, koeʻuhi kuo ne fielahi kia Sihova, ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

Bizani abatshoki bamelane leBhabhiloni, bonke abagobisa idandili, limise inkamba limelane layo inhlangothi zonke; kayingabi lokuphunyuka; liyiphindisele njengomsebenzi wayo, lenze kuyo njengakho konke ekwenzileyo; ngoba yenze ngokuziqhenya imelene leNkosi, imelene loNgcwele kaIsrayeli.

30 Ko ia ʻe tō ai ʻa hono kau talavou ʻi he hala, pea ʻe tuʻusi ʻa hono kau tangata tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

Ngakho amajaha ayo azakuwa ezitaladeni zayo, lawo wonke amadoda ayo empi azabhujiswa ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi.

31 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Vakai ʻoku ou fili ʻaki koe, ʻa koe ko e fielahi, he kuo hokosia mai ho ʻaho, pea mo e kuonga te u ʻaʻahi ai kiate koe.

Khangela, ngimelana lawe, wena oziqhenyayo, itsho iNkosi uJehova wamabandla; ngoba usuku lwakho selufikile, isikhathi engizakuhambela ngaso.

32 Pea ʻe tōhumu ʻo hinga ʻae fielahi, pea ʻe ʻikai fokotuʻu hake ia ʻe ha taha: pea te u tutu ʻae afi ʻi hono ngaahi kolo, pea te ne fakaʻauha takatakai kotoa pē ia.”

Khona oziqhenyayo ezakhubeka awe, njalo kungekho ozamvusa; njalo ngizaphemba umlilo emizini yakhe ozakudla konke okumhanqileyo.

33 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Naʻe taʻomia fakataha ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli pea mo e fānau ʻa Siuta: pea kuku maʻu ʻekinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ke tukuange ʻakinautolu.

Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Babecindezelwe abantwana bakoIsrayeli labantwana bakoJuda ndawonye; njalo bonke ababathumbileyo babagagadlele; bala ukubayekela bahambe.

34 ‌ʻOku mālohi ʻa honau Huhuʻi; ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: te ne langomakiʻi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke ne foaki ʻae fiemālie ki he fonua, pea mo e maveuveu ki he kakai ʻo Papilone.

Umhlengi wabo ulamandla, iNkosi yamabandla libizo layo; isibili izamela udaba lwabo, ukuze inike umhlaba ukuphumula, kodwa inyakazise abahlali beBhabhiloni.

35 “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE hoko ʻae heletā ki he kau Kalitia, mo e kakai ʻo Papilone, mo e houʻeiki, pea mo hono kau tangata poto.

Inkemba iphezu kwamaKhaladiya, itsho iNkosi, laphezu kwabahlali beBhabhiloni, laphezu kweziphathamandla zayo, laphezu kwabahlakaniphileyo bayo.

36 Pea ʻe hoko ʻae heletā ki he kau kākā; pea te nau loto vale: pea ʻe hoko ʻae heletā ki hono kau mālohi; pea te nau manavahē.

Inkemba iphezu kwabaqambimanga ukuze benze ngobuthutha; inkemba iphezu kwamaqhawe ayo ukuze adilizwe.

37 Pea ʻe hoko ʻae heletā ki heʻenau fanga hoosi, mo ʻenau ngaahi saliote, mo e kakai kehekehe ʻoku ʻiate ia pea te nau liliu ʻo hangē ko e kau fefine: ʻe hoko ʻae heletā ki heʻene koloa; pea ʻe kaihaʻasia ʻakinautolu.

Inkemba iphezu kwamabhiza ayo, laphezu kwenqola zayo, laphezu kwayo yonke ingxube yexuku ephakathi kwayo, ukuze babe ngabesifazana; inkemba iphezu kokuligugu kwayo, ukuze kuphangwe.

38 ‌ʻE laʻāina ʻa hono ngaahi vai; pea te nau maha: he ko e fonua ia ʻoe meʻa fakatātā kuo tā, pea ʻoku nau vikiviki ʻi he ngaahi tamapua.

Imbalela iphezu kwamanzi ayo, ukuze ome, ngoba iyilizwe lezithombe ezibaziweyo; bayahlanya ngenxa yezithombe ezesabekayo.

39 Ko ia ʻe nofo ai ʻae fanga manu hehengi ʻoe toafa, pea mo e fanga manu hehengi ʻoe ngaahi motu, pea ʻe nofo ai ʻae fanga lulu; pea ʻe ʻikai fakakakai ia ʻo taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻikai ha toe nofo ʻe fai ai mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.

Ngakho izilo zenkangala lamakhanka kuzahlala khona, lamadodakazi ezintshe azahlala kuyo, kakusayikuhlala muntu kuyo kuze kube nininini, kakuyikwakhelwa kuyo esizukulwaneni kusiya esizukulwaneni.

40 ‌ʻE tatau ia mo e fakaʻauha ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ofi ki ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻE ʻikai nofo ai ha tangata, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻāunofo ki ai ʻae foha ʻoe tangata.

Njengoba uNkulunkulu wagenqula iSodoma leGomora labomakhelwane bayo, itsho iNkosi, ngokunjalo kakuyikuhlala muntu khona, njalo kakulandodana yomuntu ezahlala njengowezizwe kuyo.

41 “Vakai, ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai mei he tokelau, ko e puleʻanga lahi, pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi tuʻi mei he ngaahi fonua mamaʻo.

Khangela, abantu bazavela enyakatho, lesizwe esikhulu, lamakhosi amanengi azavuswa evela emikhawulweni yomhlaba.

42 Te nau kuku ki he kaufana mo e tao: te nau ʻita, pea ʻe ʻikai fai ʻaloʻofa: ʻe longoaʻa honau leʻo ʻo hangē ko e tahi, pea te nau heka ki he fanga hoosi, pea ʻe teu tau taki taha, ʻo hangē ko e tangata tau kiate koe, ʻE taʻahine ʻo Papilone.

Bazabamba idandili lomkhonto; balesihluku, kabayikuba lomusa; ilizwi labo lizahlokoma njengolwandle, bagade amabhiza, ngulowo lalowo ehleliwe njengomuntu wempi emelene lawe, ndodakazi yeBhabhiloni.

43 Naʻe fanongo ki heʻenau ongoongo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea kuo hoko ʻo vaivai hono nima: pea kuo maʻu ia ʻe he mamahi, mo e feinga ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā.

Inkosi yeBhabhiloni izwile umbiko wabo, lezandla zayo zaba buthakathaka; ucindezelo lwayibamba, umhelo njengowobelethayo.

44 Vakai te ne ʻalu hake ʻo hangē ko e laione, mei he fonu mahakehake ʻo Sioatani ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe mālohi: ka te u pule ke nau hola fakafokifā meiate ia: pea ko hai ha tangata kuo fili koeʻuhi ke u tuʻutuʻuni ke puleʻi ia? He ko hai ʻoku tatau mo au? Pea ko hai te ne akonakiʻi au? Pea ko hai ʻae tauhi ko ia ke ne tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao?”

Khangela, njengesilwane esivela ekukhukhumaleni kweJordani uzakwenyuka emelene lendawo yokuhlala okungapheliyo, kodwa ngizahle ngimgijimise asuke kuyo; njalo ngubani okhethiweyo engingammisa phezu kwayo? Ngoba ngubani onjengami? Ngubani-ke ozangibizela ukulandisa? Njalo nguwuphi lowomelusi ongema phambi kwami?

45 Ko ia mou fanongo ki he fakakaukau ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ki Papilone; pea mo e tuʻutuʻuni, kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ki he kakai ʻo Kalitia: ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻe he siʻi hifo: ko e moʻoni te ne ngaohi honau nofoʻanga ko e potu liʻaki ʻiate kinautolu.

Ngakho, zwanini icebo leNKOSI elicebe imelene leBhabhiloni, lemicabango yayo eyicabange imelene lelizwe lamaKhaladiya: Isibili abancinyane bomhlambi bazabadonsa; isibili izachitha indawo yokuhlala phezu kwabo.

46 ‌ʻOku ngalulu ʻae kelekele ʻi he longoaʻa ʻoe kapa ʻo Papilone, pea ʻe ongo atu ʻene tangi ki he kakai kotoa pē.”

Ngomsindo wokuthunjwa kweBhabhiloni umhlaba uyazamazama, lokukhala kuzwakala phakathi kwezizwe.
