Soeli 1
1 Naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Soeli ko e foha ʻo Petueli.
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJoweli indodana kaPhethuweli.
2 Fanongo ki he meʻa ni, ʻakimoutolu ko e kau mātuʻa, pea tokanga homou telinga, ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua. Kuo ʻai ha meʻa pehē ni ʻi homou ngaahi ʻaho, pe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai?
Zwanini lokhu, lina badala; lalelani lonke lina elihlala elizweni. Into enjengale seyake yenzakala na ensukwini zenu loba ensukwini zabokhokho benu?
3 Tala ia ki hoʻomou fānau, pea ke nau tala ki heʻenau fānau, pea mo e fānau ʻanautolu ki he toʻutangata ʻe taha.
Kutsheleni abantwabenu, abantwabenu labo batshele ababantwababo, abantwababo batshele isizukulwane esilandelayo.
4 Ko ia naʻe tuku ʻe he heʻe kuo kai ʻe he heʻe maumau; pea ko ia naʻe tuku ʻe he heʻe maumau kuo kai ʻe he ʻunufe fulufulu, pea ko ia naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻunufe fulufulu, kuo kai ʻe he ʻunufe.
Lokho okutshiywe ngumtshitshi wezintethe kudliwe yisikhongwane; okutshiywe yisikhongwane kudliwe yibuyane; okutshiywe yibuyane kudliwe ngezinye intethe.
5 ʻAe kau konā, mou ʻā, pea tangi; pea fakatangiloloa, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau inu uaine, koeʻuhi ko e uaine foʻou; he kuo motuhi ia mei homou ngutu.
Vukani lina zidakwa likhale! Lilani lonke lina banathi bewayini; lilani ngenxa yewayini elitsha, ngoba lihluthunwe ezindebeni zenu.
6 He kuo ʻalu hake ha puleʻanga ki hoku fonua, ʻoku mālohi pea taʻefaʻalaua, ko hono nifo ko e nifo ʻoe laione, pea ko hono kouʻahe ko e kouʻahe ʻoe laione lahi.
Isizwe sihlasele ilizwe lami, silamandla asingeke sibalwe, silamazinyo esilwane, ingavula zesilwanekazi.
7 Kuo ne fakalala ʻeku vaine, pea fohiʻi ʻae kili ʻo ʻeku ʻakau ko e fiki; kuo ne fakamolemole ia ʻo maʻa; kuo fakahinehina hono ngaahi vaʻa.
Sesitshabalalise izivini zami, saqothula lezihlahla zami zemikhiwa. Sebule amaxolo azo sawaphosela khatshana, ingatsha zazo zasala sezimhlophe nke.
8 Tangi, ʻo hangē ko e taʻahine poloʻi kuo kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, koeʻuhi ko e husepāniti ʻo ʻene kei siʻi.
Lilani njengentombi egqoke isaka idabukele umyeni wobutsha bayo.
9 Ko e hifo ʻaki ʻae meʻakai, pea mo e hifo ʻaki ʻae meʻainu kuo motuhi ia mei he fale ʻo Sihova; ʻoku tangi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ʻae kau faifekau ʻa Sihova.
Umnikelo wamabele lomnikelo wokunathwa kususiwe endlini kaThixo. Abaphristi bayalila, bona abakhonzayo phambi kukaThixo.
10 ʻOku maumau ʻae ngoue, ʻoku tangi ʻae fonua; he kuo maumauʻi ʻae koane; ʻoku maha ʻae uaine foʻou, ʻoku vaivai ʻae lolo.
Amasimu atshabalele, umhlabathi womile; amabele onakele, iwayini elitsha liphelile, amafutha kawasekho.
11 Mou mā, ʻae kau tangata ngoue; fakatangilōloa, ʻe kau tauhi vaine, koeʻuhi ko e uite mo e paʻale; he kuo ʻauha ʻae ututaʻu ʻi he ngoue.
Delani, lina balimi, lilani, lina balimi bamavini; bubulelani ingqoloyi lebhali, ngoba isivuno sensimu sitshabalalisiwe.
12 ʻOku mōmoa ʻae vaine, ʻoku vaivai ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki; ko e ʻakau ko e pomikanite, mo e ʻakau ko e ponga, mo e ʻakau ko e ʻapele foki, ʻio, ko e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue ʻoku mae; koeʻuhi ʻoku mate ʻae fiefia mei he loto ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
Ivini lomile lomkhiwa ubunile; iphomegranathi, lelala lesihlahla sama-aphula, zonke izihlahla zeganga, zomile. Impela ukuthokoza kwabantu kuphelile.
13 Noʻotaki homou vala, pea tangi, ʻae kau taulaʻeiki: tangi fakalōloa, ʻae kau faifekau ʻoe feilaulauʻanga; haʻu, ʻo tokoto ʻi he pō kātoa ʻi he tauangaʻa ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoku ʻOtua: he ko e feilaulau meʻakai pea mo e feilaulau inu, kuo taʻofi mei he fale ʻo homou ʻOtua.
Vunulani amasaka, lina baphristi, likhale. Lilani lina elikhonzayo phambi kwe-alithari. Wozani, lilale lembethe amasaka ebusuku, lina elikhonzayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wami, ngoba iminikelo yamabele leminikelo yokunathwayo igodliwe, kayanikelwa endlini kaNkulunkulu wenu.
14 Mou tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ʻaukai, fanongonongo ʻae fakataha mamafa, tānaki ʻae kau mātuʻa, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ki he fale ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea tangi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
Memezelani ukuzila okungcwele; bizani ibandla elingcwele. Memani abadala labo bonke abahlala elizweni, baye endlini kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, likhale kuThixo.
15 ʻOiauē ʻae ʻaho! He kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe hoko mai ia ʻo hangē ko e fakaʻauha mei he Māfimafi.
Maye ngalolosuku! Ngoba usuku lukaThixo seluseduze; luzafika njengencithakalo evela kuSomandla.
16 ʻIkai kuo motuhi ʻae meʻakai mei hotau mata, ʻio, ko e fiefia mo e nekeneka mei he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua?
Ukudla akuzange kuphele phambi kwamehlo ethu, lokuthokoza kanye lokuthaba endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu na?
17 ʻOku popo ʻae tenga ʻi he loto kelekele, ʻoku lala ʻae ngaahi feleoko, kuo holoki ʻae ngaahi fale koloa; he kuo mae ʻae koane.
Inhlanyelo itshwabhene ngaphansi kwamagade. Izindlu zamabele zingamanxiwa, iziphala zidiliziwe, ngoba amabele kawasekho.
18 ʻOiauē ʻae toʻe ʻae fanga manu! ʻOku feinga ʻae fanga pulu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai hanau mohuku; ʻio, ʻoku tuʻutāmaki ʻae fanga sipi.
Yeka ukukhala kwezinkomo! Imihlambi yenkomo iyaphithizela ngoba kayilamadlelo; lemihlambi yezimvu iyahlupheka.
19 ʻE Sihova, te u tangi kiate koe: koeʻuhi kuo kai ʻe he afi ʻae mohuku ʻoe toafa, pea kuo tutu ʻe he ulo afi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē ngoue.
Ngiyakhala kuwe Thixo, ngoba umlilo usuqede amadlelo lamalangabi asetshise zonke izihlahla zeganga.
20 ʻOku tangi foki kiate koe ʻae fanga manu ʻoe vao: koeʻuhi ʻoku mōmoa ʻae ngaahi tafeʻanga vai, pea kuo kai ʻe he afi ʻae mohuku ʻoe toafa.
Lezinyamazana zeganga zifuna wena; izifula zamanzi sezicitshile njalo lomlilo usuqede amadlelo.
