Maika 2
1 Malaʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatupu hia, mo filioʻi kovi ʻi honau mohenga! ʻOka maama ʻae pongipongi, ʻoku nau fai ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻi he mālohi ʻa honau nima.
Maye kulabo abaceba ububi, kulabo abaceba ukwenza okubi emibhedeni yabo! Ekudabukeni kokusa bayakwenza ngoba kusemandleni abo ukukwenza.
2 Pea ʻoku nau fakaʻamu ki he ngaahi ngoue, pea faʻao fakamālohi ia; mo e ngaahi fale, pea ʻave ia; ʻoku pehē ʻenau fakamālohi ʻae tangata mo hono fale, ʻio, ʻae tangata mo hono tofiʻa.
Bahawukela amasimu bawathumbe, kanye lezindlu, bazithathe. Badlelezela umuntu ngomuzi wakhe, lomuntu wakibo ngelifa lakhe.
3 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Vakai, ʻoku ou fakatupu ha kovi ki he fānau ni, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai hao mei ai homou kia: pea ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻalu mo e fielahi; he ʻoku kovi ʻae kuonga ni.
Ngakho uThixo uthi: “Ngiceba ukwenza umonakalo kulababantu, elingeke liziphephise kuwo. Kalisayikuhamba ngokuziqhenya, ngoba kuzakuba yisikhathi sencithakalo.
4 ʻI he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha ha lea fakatātā kiate kimoutolu, pea tangi ʻaki ʻae tangi mamahi, pea pehē, ‘Kuo tau maumau ʻaupito: kuo ne fakakehe ʻae tofiʻa ʻo hoku kakai: ʻa ʻene ʻave ia meiate au! ʻI heʻene tafoki atu, kuo ne vahevahe hotau ngaahi ngoue.’”
Ngalolosuku abantu bazalihleka; bazaliklolodela ngale ingoma yokulila bathi: ‘Thina sichithwe okupheleleyo; ilifa labantu bami labiwe. Uyangithathela! Amasimu ethu uwanika abathengisi.’”
5 Ko ia ʻe ʻikai toe kiate koe ha niʻihi, ke lī ha afo ʻi he talotalo ʻi he fakataha ʻo Sihova.
Ngakho-ke kawuzukuba laye ebandleni likaThixo ozalabela ilizwe ngenkatho.
6 ʻOku nau pehē kiate kinautolu ʻoku kikite, “ʻOua naʻa mou kikite:” “ʻE ʻikai te nau kikite kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau mā.”
Abaphrofethi babo bathi, “Lingaphrofethi. Lingaphrofethi ngalezizinto; ihlazo kaliyikusehlela.”
7 ʻA koe kuo ui ko e fale ʻo Sēkope, “ʻOku ʻapiʻapi koā ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova? Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni, ko ʻene ngāue? ʻIkai ʻoku hoko lelei ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva totonu?”
Wena ndlu kaJakhobe, kufanele yini ukuba kuthiwe, “UMoya kaThixo uzondile na? Uyazenza izinto ezinje na?” “Amazwi ami kawenzi okulungileyo kuye ozindlela zakhe ziqondile na?
8 “ʻIo, kuo tuʻu hake ki mui ni ʻa hoku kakai kiate au, hangē ha fili: ʻoku mou hamusi ʻae kofutuʻa mo e kofu loto meiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi he melino, hangē ko e kau tangata taʻepoto ki he tau.
Okwamanje abantu bami sebehlamuke njengesitha. Lihlubula ingubo eligugu kulabo abedlulayo linganakile, njengabantu abavela empini.
9 Kuo mou kapusi ʻae kau fefine ʻo hoku kakai mei honau ngaahi fale lelei; mei heʻenau fānau, kuo mou ʻave hoku nāunau ʻo lauikuonga.
Abesifazane babantu bami liyabaxotsha emizini yabo emihle. Lisusa isibusiso sami kokuphela ebantwaneni babo.
10 Mou tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu; he ʻoku ʻikai ko homou mālōlōʻanga eni; koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻuli ia ʻe fai ʻae fakaʻauha, ʻio, ʻae fakaʻauha lahi.
Sukani lihambe! Ngoba le akusindawo yenu yokuphumula, ngoba ingcolile, ichithekile, okungeke kulungiswe.
11 Kapau ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he laumālie mo e loi, pea ne pehē, “Te u kikite kiate koe ki he uaine, mo e kava mālohi;” ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ia ko e palōfita ki he kakai ni.
Nxa umqambi wamanga lomkhohlisi efika athi, ‘Ngizaliphrofethela iwayini elinengi lotshwala,’ uyabe engumphrofethi walababantu nje kuphela!”
12 Ko e moʻoni te u tānaki ʻa hoʻo kātoa, ʻe Sēkope; ko e moʻoni te u tānaki ʻae toenga ʻo ʻIsileli; te u fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻo Posila, hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻi he lotoʻā sipi: ʻe lahi ʻae patatū ko e meʻa ʻi he [tokolahi ʻoe ]kau tangata.”
“Impela ngizalibutha lonke, wena Jakhobe; impela ngizabaqoqela ndawonye abako-Israyeli abasalayo. Ngizabaqoqela ndawonye njengezimvu esibayeni, njengomhlambi wezimvu emadlelweni awo; indawo ibe lokuphithizela kwabantu.
13 Kuo ʻalu hake ʻi honau ʻao ʻaia ʻoku fakaava: kuo nau movete mo laka atu ʻi he matapā, pea kuo nau hū ai kituaʻā: pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻa honau tuʻi ʻiate kinautolu, pea mo Sihova ʻi honau ʻao.
Lowo ozavula indlela uzahamba phambi kwabo; bazafohla isango baphume. Inkosi yabo izadlulela phambi kwabo, uThixo abe phambi kwabo.”
