Siope 18
1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Pilitati mei Suaa, ʻo ne pehē,
Kwathi lapho uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:
2 “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa pea ke fakangata ʻae lea? Tokanga, pea te mau toki lea.
“Koze kube nini ulokhu uphethe emlonyeni? Nakana andubana sikhulume.
3 Ko e hā kuo lau ai ʻakimautolu ko e fanga manu, pea lau ko e ʻuli ʻi ho ʻao?
Kungani usithatha njengezinkomo kube ingathi siyizithutha kuwe na?
4 ʻOku ne haehae ia ʻe ia pe ʻi heʻene ʻita: ʻe liʻaki ʻa māmani koeʻuhi ko koe? Pea ʻe hiki ʻae fuʻu makatuʻu mei hono potu?
Wena ozidabudabulayo ube yiziqa ngokuthukuthela kwakho, uthi sesingawudela umhlaba ngenxa yakho? Loba uthi amadwala agudlulwe ezindaweni zawo na?
5 “Ko e moʻoni, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoe angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai ulo ʻae kalofiama ʻo ʻene afi.
Isibane somubi siyacima; ilangabi lomlilo wakhe liyaphela ukubhebha.
6 ʻE fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻi hono fale, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene maama fakataha mo ia.
Ukukhanya ethenteni lakhe kuyafiphala; isibane esiseceleni kwakhe siyacima.
7 ʻE fakaʻapiʻapi ʻae lakaʻanga ʻo hono mālohi, pea ʻe lī ki lalo ia ʻe heʻene fakakaukau ʻaʻana.
Izisinde zakhe zamandla ziyadeda; lamacebo akhe yiwo amlahla phansi.
8 He ko hono kauvaʻe ʻoʻona kuo ne lī ia ki he kupenga, pea ʻoku ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he funga tauhele.
Inyawo zakhe zimbeka emambuleni acine esemthandele.
9 ʻE moʻua ia ʻe he hele ʻi hono muivaʻe, pea ʻe ikuna ia ʻe he kaihaʻa.
Umjibila umhwiphula ngesithende; isihitshela simuthi nki.
10 Kuo ʻai ʻae tauhele kiate ia ʻi he kelekele, mo e sokitanu kiate ia ʻi he hala.
Isihitshela usifihlelwe phansi; umjibila uthukuziwe endleleni yakhe.
11 ʻE fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻe he ngaahi meʻa fakailifia mei he potu kotoa pē, pea ʻe fakaveʻevave ia.
Uyethuka ngokwesaba inxa zonke kumlandelele langaphi aya khona.
12 ʻE kai ʻe he fiekaia ʻa hono mālohi, pea ʻe tali ofi ʻae fakaʻauha ki hono vakavaka.
Umonakalo umlambele; incithakalo imlindele nxa esiwa.
13 ʻE fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ʻo hono sino: ʻio, ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻoe mate te ne fakaʻauha ʻene mālohi.
Kudla ingxenye yesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidla izitho zakhe.
14 ʻE lī kituʻa mei hono fale ʻa hono falalaʻanga, pea ko ia ʻe ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ʻoe fakailifia.
Uyasuswa ekuvikelekeni kwethente lakhe aqhutshwe asiwe enkosini yokwesaba.
15 ʻE nofo ia ʻi hono fale, he ʻoku ʻikai ʻoʻona ia: ʻe tūtuuʻi ki hono ʻapi ʻae sulifa.
Umlilo uhlala ethenteni lakhe; isolufa evuthayo ichithachithwe emzini wakhe.
16 ʻE mōmoa mei lalo hono ngaahi aka, pea ʻe motuhi mei ʻolunga ʻa hono vaʻa.
Impande zakhe ziyabuna ngaphansi lamagatsha akhe abune ngaphezulu.
17 Ko hono manatuʻi ʻe ʻauha mei he fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai hano hingoa ʻi he hala.
Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyaphela emhlabeni; kalabizo elizweni.
18 ʻE kapusi ia mei he maama ki he poʻuli, pea ʻe tulia ia mei he māmani.
Uyasuswa ekukhanyeni aye ebumnyameni njalo axotshwe emhlabeni.
19 ʻE ʻikai maʻu ʻe ia ha foha pe mokopuna ʻi hono kakai, ʻe ʻikai toe ha niʻihi ʻi hono ngaahi fale.
Kalabantwana loba isizukulwane ebantwini bakibo, kakho loyedwa owakhe lapho ake ahlala khona.
20 Ko kinautolu ʻe muimui ʻiate ia te nau ofo ki hono ʻaho, ʻo hangē ko e ilifia ʻanautolu naʻa nau feangai.
Abantu bentshonalanga bayanengwa yisiphetho sakhe; abantu bempumalanga bayatshaqeka.
21 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku pehē pe ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe angahala, pea ko eni ʻae potu ʻo ia ʻoku taʻeʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua.”
Ngempela linjalo ikhaya lomuntu omubi; yiyo indawo yalowo ongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.”
