Fakamaau 17
1 Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻoe moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, naʻe hingoa ko Maika.
Namicha biyya gaara Efreem keessa jiraatu kan maqaan isaa Miikaayaa jedhamu tokkotu ture;
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene faʻē, “Ko e konga siliva ʻe taha afe mo e teau ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe kaihaʻasi ʻiate koe, ʻaia naʻa ke kape ai, mo ke lea ki ai ʻi hoku ʻao foki, vakai, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae siliva; ko au naʻaku ʻave ia.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē, “Ko ʻeku tama, ke ke monūʻia koe ʻia Sihova.”
innis haadha isaatiin, “Meetiin kuma tokkoo fi dhibba tokko ulfaatu kan si duraa badee ani utuu ati nama si jalaa fudhate abaartuu dhagaʼe sun na bira jira; kan fudhates anuma” jedhe. Haati isaas, “Yaa ilma ko, Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu” jetteen.
3 Pea ʻi heʻene toe ʻatu ʻae konga siliva ʻe taha afe mo e teau ki heʻene faʻē, naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē, “Naʻe ʻosi ʻeku fakatapu hono kotoa ʻoe siliva kia Sihova mei hoku nima, pea mei heʻeku tama, ke ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo haka: pea ko eni, te u toe tuku ia kiate koe.”
Yommuu inni meetii kuma tokkoo fi dhibba tokko sana deebisee haadha isaatti kennettis, haati isaa, “Akka ilmi koo fakkii meetiin itti uffifame ittiin hojjetuuf ani meetii koo Waaqayyoof addaan baaseera. Ani ammas deebisee sittin kenna” jetteen.
4 Ka naʻa ne toe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ki heʻene faʻē; pea toʻo ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻo tuku ki he tufunga haka meʻa, ʻae konga siliva ʻe uangeau, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e fakatātā kuo haka: pea ne na tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Maika.
Kanaafuu inni meetii sana deebisee haadha isaatiif kenne; isheenis meetii dhibba lama fuutee tumtuu meetiitti kennite; tumtuun sunis fakkii fi Waaqa tolfamaa ittiin hojjete. Fakkii fi Waaqni tolfamaan sunis mana Miikaayaa keessa kaaʼaman.
5 Pea naʻe ʻi he tangata ko Maika ha fale ʻo hono ʻotua, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ha ʻefoti mo e tamapua, pea naʻa ne fakatapui hono foha ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe hoko ko ʻene taulaʻeiki.
Namichi Miikaa jedhamu kunis galma Waaqa tolfamaa qaba ture; innis dirataa fi waaqota tolfamoo tokko tokko tolchee ilmaan isaa keessaa nama tokko luba godhate.
6 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, ka naʻe fai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
Bara sana Israaʼel keessa mootiin hin jiru ture; tokkoon tokkoon namaa waanuma isatti tole hojjeta ture.
7 Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata talavou ʻe taha mei Petelihema Siuta ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, ko e Livai ia, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai.
Yeroo sanatti biyya Yihuudaa keessa dargaggeessa gosa Lewwii kan Beetlihem keessa gosa Yihuudaa gidduu jiraatu tokkotu ture.
8 Pea naʻe hiki ʻae tangata ko ia mei he kolo ko Petelihema Siuta ke ʻalu ʻo ʻāunofo ʻi ha potu te ne hoko ki ai: pea naʻe hoko atu ia ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi ki he fale ʻo Maika, ʻi heʻene fononga.
Innis iddoo jireenyaa kan biraa barbaaduuf jedhee magaalaa sana dhiisee deeme. Utuma deemuus gara biyya gaaraa Efreem mana Miikaa dhufe.
9 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Maika kiate ia, “ʻOku ke haʻu mei fē? Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, Ko e Livai au mei Petelihema Siuta, pea ʻoku ou ʻalu ke nofo ʻi ha potu pe.”
Miikaanis, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhee isa gaafate. Innis, “Ani nama Lewwii kan Beetlihem biyya Yihuudaatii dhufee iddoo jireenyaa barbaaduu dha” jedheen.
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Maika kiate ia, “Ke ta nonofo, mo au, pea ke ʻiate au ko e tamai mo e taulaʻeiki, pea te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae konga siliva ʻe hongofulu ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha, mo e ngaahi kofu kotoa, pea mo e meʻakai.” Pea naʻe afe ki lotoʻā ʻae tangata Livai.
Miikaanis, “Na wajjin jiraadhuutii abbaa fi luba naa taʼi; anis waggaatti meetii kudhan siif kenna; uffata keetii fi nyaata kees nan dandaʼa” isaan jedhe.
11 Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae Livai ke na nonofo mo e tangata; pea naʻe tatau ʻae talavou kiate ia mo hono foha ʻe taha.
Kanaafuu Lewwichi sun isa wajjin jiraachuuf walii gale; dargaggeessi sunis Miikaadhaaf ilmaan isaa keessaa akkuma nama tokkoo taʼe.
12 Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe Maika ʻae tangata Livai; pea naʻe hoko ʻae talavou ko hono taulaʻeiki, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he fale ʻo Maika.
Miikaanis dargaggeessa Lewwii sana muudate; innis luba isaa taʼee mana isaa jiraate.
13 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Maika, “ʻOku ou ʻilo eni ʻe fai lelei ʻe Sihova kiate au, he kuo u maʻu ha [tangata ]Livai ke taulaʻeiki.”
Miikaanis, “Erga Lewwichi kun luba koo taʼe, ani akka Waaqayyo waan gaarii naa godhu nan beeka” jedhe.
