Fakamaau 5
1 Pea naʻe toki hiva ai ʻa Tepola mo Pelaki ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē,
Ngalolosuku uDibhora loBharakhi indodana ka-Abhinowami bahlabela ingoma le:
2 “Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he langomakiʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻatu fiemālie pe ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai.
“Lapho amakhosana ko-Israyeli esekhokhela, lapho abantu bezinikela ngokuzithandela, dumisani uThixo!
3 Mou fanongo, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi; fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki; ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u hiva kia Sihova; te u hiva fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
Zwanini lokhu lina makhosi! Lalelani lina babusi! Ngizahlabelela kuThixo, ngizahlabelela; ngizahubela ihubo, kuThixouNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
4 “ʻE Sihova ʻi hoʻo hāʻele atu mei Seia, ʻi hoʻo hāʻele mei he ngoue ʻo ʻItomi, naʻe tetetete ʻa māmani, pea naʻe tō ʻae ngaahi langi. Naʻe tō foki ʻae vai mei he ngaahi ʻao.
Awu Thixo, ekuqhamukeni kwakho eSeyiri, lapho usuka elizweni lase-Edomi, umhlaba wanyikinyeka, amazulu athululeka, amayezi athululela amanzi phansi.
5 Naʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, naʻa mo Sainai [naʻe pehē ]mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
Izintaba zazamazama phambi kukaThixo, yena owaseSinayi, phambi kukaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
6 “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Samikaʻa ko e foha ʻo ʻAnati, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Saeli, naʻe lala ʻae ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai fononga ʻi he ngaahi hala piko.
Ensukwini zikaShamigari indodana ka-Anathi, ensukwini zikaJayeli, imigwaqo yayideliwe; izihambi zithatha izindledlana ezimazombe.
7 Naʻe ngaongao ʻae ngaahi potu kakai, naʻa nau ʻosiʻosi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku tuʻu hake au ko Tepola, pea u tuʻu hake ko e faʻē ʻi ʻIsileli.
Izakhamizi zako-Israyeli kazizange zilwe, zahlehlela emuva kwaze kwavela mina Dibhora, kwavela umama ko-Israyeli.
8 Naʻa nau fili ʻae ngaahi ʻotua foʻou, pea naʻe toki hoko ʻa ʻetau ʻi he ngaahi matapā: he naʻe hā mai ha fakaū pe ha foʻi tao ʻe taha ʻi he toko fā mano ʻi ʻIsileli?
UNkulunkulu wakhetha abakhokheli abatsha lapho impi isifike emasangweni edolobho, kodwa akulahawu kumbe umkhonto owabonakalayo phakathi kwezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane ko-Israyeli.
9 ʻOku hanga atu hoku loto ki he kau pule ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻatu fiemālie pe ʻakinautolu kia Sihova fakataha mo e kakai. Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
Inhliziyo yami ikanye lamakhosana ako-Israyeli, kanye labazinikela ngokuzithandela phakathi kwabantu. Dumisani uThixo!
10 “ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku heka ʻi he ngaahi ʻasi hina, mou tokanga, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fakamaau, pea ko kimoutolu foki ʻoku fononga ʻi he hala;
Lina eligada obabhemi abamhlophe, lihlezi ezihlalweni zenu zengubo, lani elihamba emgwaqweni cabangani
11 ʻI he tuku ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe kau tangata fana ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻoe fusi hake ʻoe ʻutu vai, tenau fakahā ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ki hono ngaahi potu kakai ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ʻe toki ʻalu hifo ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi matapā.
ilizwi labahlabeleli ezindaweni zamanzi okunathisa. Bahuba ngokulunga kukaThixo, ukunqoba kwezakhamizi zako-Israyeli. Lapho-ke abantu bakaThixo behlela emasangweni edolobho.
12 Ke ke ʻā hake, ʻā hake, ʻe Tepola: ʻā hake, ʻā hake, fai ʻae hiva: tuʻu hake, ʻe Pelaki, pea tataki fakapōpula ʻa hoʻo pōpula, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami.
‘Vuka, vuka, Dibhora! Vuka, vuka, uhlabele ingoma! Vuka weBharakhi! Uthumbe abathunjiweyo bakho, wena ndodana ka-Abhinowami.’
13 Naʻa ne ngaohi ai ʻaia naʻe toe ke pule ia ki he houʻeiki ʻi he kakai: naʻe fakanofo au ʻe Sihova ke u pule ki he kau mālohi.
Ngakho abantu ababesele bafika ezikhulwini; abantu bakaThixo beza kimi labalamandla.
14 Naʻe ai ʻae aka ʻokinautolu mei ʻIfalemi naʻe tuʻu hake ki ʻAmaleki; ko Penisimani naʻe muimui ʻiate koe, mei hoʻo kakai: naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Mekili ʻae kau pule, pea mei Sepuloni ʻakinautolu ʻoku ala ki he peni ʻae tangata tohi.
Abanye bavela ko-Efrayimi, abamdabuko wabo use-Amaleki; uBhenjamini wayelabantu abakulandelayo. Izinduna zamabutho zavela eMakhiri, koZebhuluni labo abaphatha intonga yomlawuli webutho.
15 Pea naʻe ʻia Tepola ʻae houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsaka; ʻio, ʻa ʻIsaka mo Pelaki foki: naʻe fekau ia ʻi hono vaʻe ki he teleʻa. ʻI he ngaahi mavahevahe ʻa Lupeni naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi fifili lahi ʻoe loto.
Amakhosana ako-Isakhari ayeloDibhora; yebo, u-Isakhari wayeloBharakhi emxhuma ngesiqubu ezigodini. Eziqintini zakoRubheni kwaba lokuhlolwa okukhulu kwezinhliziyo.
16 Ko e hā naʻa ke nofo ai ʻi he ngaahi ā sipi, ke fanongo ki he tangi ʻae fanga sipi? ʻI he ngaahi mavahevahe ʻa Lupeni [naʻe ʻi ai ]ʻae ngaahi fifili lahi ʻoe loto.
Lahlalelani ezibayeni ukuzwa amakhwelo enqanda izimvu na? Eziqintini zakoRubheni, kwaba lokuhlolwa okukhulu kwezinhliziyo.
17 Naʻe nofo ʻa Kiliati ʻituʻa Sioatani, pea ko e hā naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tani ʻi he ngaahi vaka? Naʻe nofo pe ʻa ʻAseli ʻi he matātahi, pea nofo pe ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo.
UGiliyadi wahlala ngaphetsheya kweJodani. LoDani wasalelani ngasemikhunjini na? U-Asheri wasala ngasokhunjini wahlala emathekwini akhe olwandle.
18 Ko e kakai ʻo Sepulone mo Nafitalai naʻe siʻaki ʻenau moʻui ki he mate, ʻi he ngaahi potu fonua māʻolunga.
Abantu bakoZebhuluni bafaka impilo yabo uqobo engozini; wenza njalo loNafithali emiqolweni yeganga.
19 “Naʻe haʻu ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo tau, pea tau ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Kenani ʻi Tenaki ʻo ofi ki he vai ko Mekito; naʻe ʻikai tenau toʻo ha paʻanga totongi.
Amakhosi afika, alwa; amakhosi aseKhenani alwa, eThanakhi ngasemachibini aseMegido, kodwa kawazathwala isiliva, lempango.
20 Naʻa nau tau mei langi; ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻi honau ngaahi ʻaluʻanga naʻa nau tauʻi ʻa Sisela.
Izinkanyezi zalwa zisemazulwini, zalwa loSisera zisezindleleni zazo.
21 Naʻe ʻauhia ʻakinautolu ke mole ʻi he vaitafe ko Kisone, ʻae vaitafe muʻa ko ia, ʻae vaitafe ko Kisone. ʻE hoku laumālie, kuo ke malakaki hifo ʻae mālohi.
Umfula uKhishoni wabakhukhula, umfula wendulo, umfula uKhishoni. Phambili, mphefumulo wami; Qina!
22 Naʻe toki maumau ʻae ngaahi ʻaofivaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi ko e meʻa ʻi he lele vave, ko e lele vave ʻae ngaahi manu mālohi.
Kwaduma amasondo amabhiza ematha, ematha ehamba amabhiza akhe alamandla.
23 ‘Mou fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻa Melosi,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, ‘Mou fakamamahi ʻae kakai ʻo ia; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau haʻu ke tokoni ʻa Sihova, ke tokoni ʻa Sihova ʻo tuʻu hake ki he mālohi.’
‘Iqalekiseni iMerozi,’ kwatsho ingilosi kaThixo, ‘Baqalekiseni kabuhlungu abantu bayo, ngoba kabezanga ukuzencedisa uThixo, ukuzasiza uThixo emelane labalamandla.’
24 “ʻE monūʻia lahi taha ʻi he kau fefine ʻa Saeli, ko e uaifi ʻo Hepa ko e Kena, ʻe monūʻia lahi taha pe ia ʻi he kau fefine ʻi he fale fehikitaki.
Kabe ngobusiswe kakhulu kwabesifazane uJayeli, umkaHebheri umKheni, obusiswe kakhulu kwabesifazane abahlala emathenteni.
25 Naʻe kole ʻe ia ʻae vai, pea ne ʻange ʻe ia ʻae huʻahuhu; naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae pota ʻi he ipu ngalingali ʻeiki.
Wacela amanzi, yena wamnika uchago, wamlethela amasi ngomganu ofanele izikhulu.
26 Naʻe mafao ʻe ia hono nima ki he faʻo, mo hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he hamala ʻae tufunga; pea ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻa Sisela ʻae hamala, naʻa ne tā ʻaki ia hono ʻulu, ʻi heʻene tui ke ʻasi hono manifinifihanga.
Wathatha isikhonkwane sethente ngesandla sakhe, isandla sakhe sokudla sathatha isando somkhandi. Watshaya uSisera, wachoboza ikhanda lakhe, waphahaza wabhoboza inhlafuno yakhe.
27 Naʻe punou hifo ia ʻi hono vaʻe, naʻa ne tō hifo, pea tokoto hifo: naʻe punou hifo ia ʻi hono vaʻe, pea tō hifo: ʻi he potu naʻa ne punou hifo, naʻe tō ai ia ʻo mate.
Wawohlokela ezinyaweni zakhe, wawa; wabhazalala khonapho. Wawohlokela ezinyaweni zakhe wawa; lapho awohlokela khona, wawela khonapho esefile.
28 “Naʻe fakasiosio ʻe he faʻē ʻa Sisela ʻi he matapā sioʻata, pea kalanga ia mei he tupa, “Ko e hā ʻoku tuai pehē ai hono saliote ʻi heʻene haʻu? Ko e hā ʻoku tatali ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa teka ʻo ʻene saliote?’
UnakaSisera walunguza ngefasitela; ngemva kwewindi wanqolonga wathi, ‘Kungani inqola yakhe yempi iphuze kangaka ukufika? Kungani ukugodlozela kwezinqola zakhe zempi kuphuzile?’
29 Naʻe tali ia ʻe heʻene kau fefineʻeiki poto, ʻio, naʻe tali ʻe ia ia ʻa ʻene lea,
Ohlakaniphe kakhulu kumakhosazana akhe wamphendula; impela yena uhlezi ezitshela esithi,
30 ‘ʻIkai kuo nau lavaʻi? ʻIkai kuo nau vahevahe ʻae vete? Ko e taʻahine ʻe tokotaha pe toko ua ki he tangata taki taha kotoa pē; ko e koloa maʻa Sisela ko e meʻa lanu kehekehe, ʻae meʻa lanu kehekehe ʻoe ngāue tuitui, ʻae meʻa lanu kehekehe ʻoe ngāue tuitui fakapotu ua, ʻo ngali mo e kia [ʻokinautolu ]ʻoku maʻu ʻae vete?’
‘Kanti kabafumani mpango bayabelane na; intombazana loba amabili indoda nganye, izigqoko ezimibalabala eziyimpango kaSisera, izigqoko ezimibalabala ezicecisiweyo, izigqoko eziceciswe kakhulu zentamo yami, konke lokhu kuyimpango?’
31 “Ke ʻauha pehē pe ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻe Sihova: ka ke tatau ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia mo e laʻā ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake ʻi hono mālohi.” Pea naʻe fiemālie ʻae fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
Ngakho sengathi zingabhubha zonke izitha zakho, Oh Thixo! Kodwa sengathi labo abakuthandayo bangaba njengelanga lapho liphuma ngamandla alo.” Kwasekusiba lokuthula elizweni iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
