Maika 1
1 Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Maika, ko e tangata Molesi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sotami, mo ʻAhasi, mo Hesekaia, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻa ne mamata ai naʻe kau ki Samēlia mo Selūsalema.
Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuMika umMorashethi ensukwini zikaJothamu, uAhazi, loHezekhiya, amakhosi akoJuda, alibona mayelana leSamariya leJerusalema.
2 Fanongo ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē; fakafanongo ʻe māmani, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: pea tuku ke talatalaakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻEiki mei hono fale tapu.
Zwanini, lina zizwe lonke; ulalele, wena mhlaba, lokugcwala kwawo; kakuthi iNkosi uJehova ibe ngumfakazi omelene lani, iNkosi isethempelini layo elingcwele.
3 He vakai, ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻa Sihova mei hono potu, pea te ne hāʻele mai mo tuʻu ʻi he potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani.
Ngoba khangela, iNkosi iyaphuma endaweni yayo, yehle inyathele endaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba.
4 Pea ʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi lalo ʻiate ia, pea ʻe mafahi ʻae ngaahi teleʻa, hangē ko e pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe afi, pe hangē ko e vai ʻoku lilingi ʻi ha potu tahifohifo.
Lezintaba zizancibilika ngaphansi kwayo, lezihotsha ziqhekezeke, njengengcino phambi komlilo, njengamanzi athululwa emthezukweni.
5 “ʻOku hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa Sēkope, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi hia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli. Ko e hā ʻae angahala ʻa Sēkope? ʻIkai ko Samēlia? Pea ko e hā ʻae ngaahi potu Māʻolunga ʻo Siuta? ʻIkai ko Selūsalema?
Konke lokhu kungenxa yesiphambeko sikaJakobe, langenxa yezono zendlu kaIsrayeli. Siyini isiphambeko sikaJakobe? KakusiSamariya yini? Njalo ziyini izindawo eziphakemeyo zikaJuda? KakusiJerusalema yini?
6 Ko ia te u ngaohi ʻa Samēlia ke hangē ha puke ʻoe ngoue, pea hangē ko e ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau ʻoku tō ʻi he ngoue vaine: pea te u lilingi ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo ia ki he teleʻa, pea te u fakahā ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga.
Ngakho ngizakwenza iSamariya ibe yinqumbi yensimu, ibe zindawo zokuhlanyelwa kwesivini; njalo ngizathululela amatshe ayo esihotsheni, ngembule izisekelo zayo.
7 Pea ko e ngaahi tamapua kuo tongi ʻi ai, ʻe laiki, pea ko e ngaahi totongi kotoa pē ʻo ia, ʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ko e ngaahi tamapua ko ia te u fakalala: he naʻa ne tānaki ia mei he totongi ʻoe muitau, pea ʻe foki ia ki he totongi ʻoe muitau.”
Lazo zonke izithombe zayo ezibaziweyo zizaphahlazwa, layo yonke imivuzo yayo yewule izatshiswa ngomlilo, lazo zonke izithombe zayo ngizazenza zibe yincithakalo. Ngoba izibuthelele ngenhlawulo yewule, njalo zizabuyela kunhlawulo yewule.
8 Ko ia te u tangilāulau mo ʻioho, te u ʻalu veteki pe mo telefua: te u tangi ʻo hangē ha fanga siakali, pea tangi mamahi ʻo hangē ko e fanga lulu.
Ngenxa yalokhu ngizalila ngiqhinqe isililo, ngizahamba ngihlutshulwe nginqunu; ngenze isililo njengamakhanka, ngikhale njengamadodakazi ezintshe.
9 He ko hono lavea ʻoku taʻefaʻafakamoʻui; he kuo hoko ia ʻo aʻu ki Siuta, kuo ne hoko ki he matapā ʻo hoku kakai, ʻio, ki Selūsalema.
Ngoba inxeba layo kalelapheki; ngoba sekufikile koJuda; kufinyelele esangweni labantu bami, eJerusalema.
10 ʻOua naʻa fakahā ia ʻi Kati, ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mou tangi: ʻi he fale ʻo ʻAfala, ke ke tekefili ʻi he efu.
Lingakukhulumi eGathi, lingalili lokulila; lizibhuquze othulini endlini kaAfera.
11 Mole atu ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Safila, mo e mā ʻa ho telefua: naʻe ʻikai ke hū mai ʻae kakai ʻo Senani ʻi he tangi ʻa Petesili; te ne maʻu meiate kimoutolu ʻa hono tuʻunga.
Dlula wena, mhlalikazi weShafiri, ohlazo lakho linqunuliwe; umhlalikazi weZawanani kaphumanga; isililo siseBhethi-Ezeli; uzakwemukela ukuma kwakhe kini.
12 He naʻe tatali ʻamanaki pe ki he lelei ʻae kau nofo ʻi Maloti: ka naʻe hoko ʻae kovi meia Sihova, ki he matapā ʻo Selūsalema.
Ngoba umhlalikazi weMarothi ulomhelo ngokuhle, ngoba okubi kwehla kuvela eNkosini, kwaze kwaba sesangweni leJerusalema.
13 ʻE! ʻA koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Lakisi, noʻotaki ʻae saliote ki he manu veʻe vave: ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻoe angahala ki he ʻofefine ʻa Saione: he ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻilo ʻiate koe.
Bophela inqola emabhizeni alejubane, wena mhlalikazi weLakishi; yona iyikuqala kwesono kundodakazi yeZiyoni; ngoba iziphambeko zakoIsrayeli zatholakala kuwe.
14 Ko ia te ke ange ʻae ngaahi foaki ki Molesiti-Kati: ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo ʻAkisipi, ko e loi ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
Ngakho uzakupha uMorashethi-Gathi izipho zokuvalelisana; izindlu zeAkizibi zizakuba yinkohliso emakhosini akoIsrayeli.
15 Ka te u ʻomai ha foha hoko kiate koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Malesa: te ne haʻu ki ʻAtulami, ko e nāunau ʻo ʻIsileli.
Ngisezakulethela indlalifa, wena mhlalikazi weMaresha; uzakuza eAdulamu udumo lukaIsrayeli.
16 Fakatekefua mo kosi koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fānau fakapelepeleʻi; fakalahi ho tula hangē ko e ʻikale; he kuo nau ʻalu ki he pōpula meiate koe.
Zenze ube lempabanga uziphuce, ngenxa yabantwana bothando lwakho; khulisa impabanga yakho njengokhozi, ngoba bathunjiwe besuka kuwe.
