Selemaia 6
1 “ʻAe fānau ʻa Penisimani mou fakataha ʻakimoutolu pea hola atu mei Selūsalema, pea ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi Tikoa, pea fokotuʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga afi ʻi Pete-Hakilime; he ʻoku hā mai ʻae kovi mei he tokelau, pea mo e fakaʻauha lahi.
“Kimbieni kwa usalama wenu, enyi watu wa Benyamini! Kimbieni kutoka Yerusalemu! Pigeni tarumbeta katika Tekoa! Inueni ishara juu ya Beth-Hakeremu! Kwa kuwa maafa yanaonekana yakitoka kaskazini, na uharibifu wa kutisha.
2 Kuo u fakatatau ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Saione ki he fefine hoihoifua mo angalelei.
Nitamwangamiza Binti Sayuni, aliye mzuri sana na mwororo.
3 ʻE haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau tauhi mo ʻenau fanga sipi; pea te nau fokotuʻu honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo takatakai kiate ia; pea te nau taki taha kai ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona.
Wachungaji pamoja na makundi yao watakuja dhidi yake; watapiga mahema yao kumzunguka, kila mmoja akichunga kundi lake mwenyewe.”
4 “Mou teuteu kiate ia; tuʻu hake pea ke tau ʻalu hake ʻi he hoʻatāmālie. ʻOiauē ʻakitautolu! He kuo ʻalu ʻae ʻaho, pea kuo mafola atu ʻae malumalu ʻoe efiafi.
“Jiandaeni kwa vita dhidi yake! Inukeni tumshambulie mchana! Lakini, ole wetu, mchana unaisha, na vivuli vya jioni vinazidi kuwa virefu.
5 Tuʻu hake, pea tau ʻalu atu ʻi he poʻuli, pea fakaʻauha hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki.”
Kwa hiyo inukeni, tufanye mashambulizi usiku, na kuharibu ngome zake!”
6 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Tā hifo hono ngaahi ʻakau, pea fai ha tanu puke ki Selūsalema; ko e kolo eni ke kapa; kuo pito ia ʻi loto ʻi he fakamālohi.
Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: “Kateni miti mjenge boma kuzunguka Yerusalemu. Mji huu ni lazima uadhibiwe, umejazwa na uonevu.
7 ʻO hangē ʻoku puna ʻae vai mei he matavai, ʻoku pehē ʻae hā mai ʻae angahala meiate ia; ʻoku ongoʻi ʻiate ia ʻae fakamālohi pea mo e maumauʻi; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao maʻuaipē ʻae mamahi mo e ngaahi lavea.
Kama vile kisima kinavyomwaga maji yake, ndivyo anavyomwaga uovu wake. Ukatili na maangamizi yasikika ndani yake, ugonjwa wake na majeraha yake viko mbele yangu daima.
8 ʻE Selūsalema, ke akonekina koe, telia naʻa ʻalu ʻiate koe ʻa hoku laumālie; telia naʻa ngaohi koe ke tala, ko e fonua taʻehanokakai.”
Pokea onyo, ee Yerusalemu, la sivyo nitageukia mbali nawe na kuifanya nchi yako kuwa ukiwa, asiweze mtu kuishi ndani yake.”
9 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te nau tānaki hono toe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo hangē ko e vaine: pea ʻe toe ai ho nima ki he ngaahi vaʻa ʻo hangē ko e tangata ʻoku toli ʻae fua ʻoe vaine.”
Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: “Wao na wayakusanye mabaki ya Israeli kwa uangalifu kama kwenye mzabibu; pitisha mkono wako kwenye matawi tena, kama yeye avunaye zabibu.”
10 Te u lea mo valoki kia hai, koeʻuhi ke nau fanongo? Vakai, kuo tāpuni honau telinga, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa ongoʻi; vakai, ko e meʻa manuki kiate kinautolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻoku ʻikai te nau fiefia ki ai.
Niseme na nani na kumpa onyo? Ni nani atakayenisikiliza mimi? Masikio yao yameziba, kwa hiyo hawawezi kusikia. Neno la Bwana ni chukizo kwao, hawalifurahii.
11 Ko ia kuo u fonu ʻi he houhau ʻo Sihova; ʻoku ou fiu ʻi he taʻofi: “Te u lilingi atu ia, ki he fānau ʻoku ʻi he hala; pea ki he fakataha ʻae kau talavou, ʻio, ʻe ʻave ʻae tangata mo hono uaifi, ʻae motuʻa pea mo ia ʻoku lahi hono ngaahi ʻaho.
Lakini nimejaa ghadhabu ya Bwana, nami siwezi kuizuia. “Wamwagie watoto walioko barabarani, na juu ya vijana waume waliokusanyika; mume na mke watakumbwa pamoja ndani yake, hata nao wazee waliolemewa na miaka.
12 “Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai kehe honau ngaahi fale, mo e ngaahi ngoue, fakataha mo honau ngaahi uaifi: he te u mafao atu hoku nima ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.’
Nyumba zao zitapewa watu wengine, pamoja na mashamba yao na wake zao, nitakapounyoosha mkono wangu dhidi ya wale waishio katika nchi,” asema Bwana.
13 “He ʻoku nau taki taha manumanu mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi; pea taki taha fai kākā mei he palōfita, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taulaʻeiki.
“Kuanzia aliye mdogo kabisa hadi aliye mkubwa kabisa, wote wana tamaa ya kupata faida zaidi; manabii na makuhani wanafanana, wote wanafanya udanganyifu.
14 Kuo nau fakamoʻui kākā foki ʻae lavea ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai, ʻonau pehē, ‘Fiemālie, fiemālie;’ ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie.
Wanafunga majeraha ya watu wangu bila uangalifu. Wanasema, ‘Amani, amani,’ wakati hakuna amani.
15 He naʻa nau mā ʻi heʻenau fai meʻa fakalielia? Naʻe ʻikai, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau mā, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fekulaʻi ʻi he mā; ko ia te nau hinga mo kinautolu ʻoku hinga: ʻo kau ka ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻe lī ki lalo ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
Je, wanaona aibu kwa ajili ya tabia yao inayochukiza mno? Hapana, hawana aibu hata kidogo; hawajui hata kuona haya. Kwa hiyo wataanguka miongoni mwa hao walioanguka, watashushwa chini nitakapowaadhibu,” asema Bwana.
16 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Mou tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi hala, ʻo mamata, pea fehuʻi ki he ngaahi motuʻa hala, ‘Ko e fē ʻae hala lelei?’ Pea mou ʻaʻeva ʻi ai, pea te mou ʻilo ʻae fiemālie ki homou laumālie. Ka naʻa nau pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau ʻeveʻeva ai.’
Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: “Simama kwenye njia panda utazame, ulizia mapito ya zamani, ulizia wapi ilipo njia nzuri, uifuate hiyo, nanyi mtapata raha nafsini mwenu. Lakini ninyi mlisema, ‘Hatutaipita hiyo.’
17 Pea naʻaku fakanofo kiate kimoutolu foki ʻae kau tangata leʻo, ʻo pehē, ‘Fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe meʻalea.’ Ka naʻa nau pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau fanongo.’
Niliweka walinzi juu yenu na kusema, ‘Sikieni sauti ya tarumbeta!’ Lakini mkasema, ‘Hatutasikiliza.’
18 “Ko ia mou fanongo, ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ʻilo ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kakai, ʻae meʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu.
Kwa hiyo sikilizeni, enyi mataifa, angalieni, enyi mashahidi, lile litakalowatokea.
19 Fanongo, ʻe māmani: vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he kakai ni, ko e fua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi mahalo, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, pe ki heʻeku fono, ka kuo nau liʻaki ia.
Sikia, ee nchi: Ninaleta maafa juu ya watu hawa, matunda ya mipango yao, kwa sababu hawakusikiliza maneno yangu na wameikataa sheria yangu.
20 He ko e hā hono ʻaonga ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa namu kakala kiate au mei Sipa, pea mo e tō huʻamelie mei he potu mamaʻo? ʻoku ʻikai lelei kiate au homou ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pea ʻoku ʻikai huʻamelie kiate au homou ngaahi feilaulau.”
Unanifaa nini uvumba kutoka Sheba, au udi wa harufu nzuri kutoka nchi ya mbali? Sadaka zako za kuteketezwa hazikubaliki, dhabihu zako hazinifurahishi mimi.”
21 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, te u ʻai ʻae ngaahi tūkiaʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ni, pea ʻe tūkia fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi tamai pea mo e ngaahi foha; pea ʻe malaʻia ʻae kaungāʻapi mo honau kāinga.”
Kwa hiyo hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: “Nitaweka vikwazo mbele ya watu hawa. Baba na wana wao watajikwaa juu yake, majirani na marafiki wataangamia.”
22 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ha kakai mei he fonua ʻi he tokelau, pea ʻe fakatupu ʻae kakai lahi mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: “Tazama, jeshi linakuja kutoka nchi ya kaskazini, taifa kubwa linaamshwa kutoka miisho ya dunia.
23 Pea te nau ala ki he kaufana mo e hōfangahau; ʻoku nau loto fefeka, pea taʻeʻaloʻofa; ʻoku ʻuʻulu honau leʻo ʻo hangē ko e tahi; pea ʻoku nau heka ki he fanga hoosi, ʻo fakaʻotu ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata te u tau kiate koe, ʻE ʻofefine ʻo Saione.”
Wamejifunga pinde na mkuki, ni wakatili na hawana huruma. Wanatoa sauti kama bahari inayonguruma wanapoendesha farasi zao. Wanakuja kama watu waliojipanga tayari kwa vita ili kukushambulia, ee Binti Sayuni.”
24 Kuo tau fanongo ki hono ongoongo: ʻoku vaivai hotau nima; kuo maʻu ʻakitautolu ʻe he mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e langā ha fefine ke fāʻele.
Tumesikia taarifa zao, nayo mikono yetu imelegea. Uchungu umetushika, maumivu kama ya mwanamke katika utungu wa kuzaa.
25 ʻOua naʻa ʻalu ki he ngoue, pe ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala; he ʻoku ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae heletā ʻoe fili mo e fakailifia.
Usitoke kwenda mashambani au kutembea barabarani, kwa kuwa adui ana upanga, na kuna vitisho kila upande.
26 ʻE ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai ke ke nonoʻo ʻaki koe ʻae tauangaʻa, pea fetafokifokiaki koe ʻi he efuefu; ke ke mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fai ki he foha pe taha, ko e tangilāulau mamahi: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu fakafokifā pe kiate koe ʻae fakaʻauha.
Enyi watu wangu, vaeni magunia mjivingirishe kwenye majivu, ombolezeni kwa kilio cha uchungu kama amliliaye mwana pekee, kwa maana ghafula mharabu atatujia.
27 “Kuo u fakanofo koe ko e ʻahiʻahi, mo e fakamaʻa ki hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻiloʻi mo ʻahiʻahi ki heʻenau anga.
“Nimekufanya wewe kuwa kitu cha kujaribu chuma, nao watu wangu kama mawe yenye madini, ili upate kuzijua na kuzijaribu njia zao.
28 Ko e kau angatuʻu fakamamahi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko e kau lauʻi kovi: ko e palasa mo e ukamea ʻakinautolu: ko e kau fakakovi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
Wote ni waasi sugu, wakienda huku na huko kusengenya. Wao ni shaba na chuma, wote wanatenda upotovu.
29 Kuo vela ʻae tapili, kuo vela ʻo vai ʻae pulu ʻi he afi; ʻoku fai ʻae haka taʻeʻaonga ʻe he fakamaʻa: he ʻoku ʻikai mavahevahe ʻae kovi.
Mivuo inavuma kwa nguvu, kinachoungua kwa huo moto ni risasi, lakini pamoja na kusafisha kote huku ni bure; waovu hawaondolewi.
30 ʻE ui ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ko e siliva kākā, koeʻuhi kuo liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova.”
Wanaitwa fedha iliyokataliwa, kwa sababu Bwana amewakataa.”
