Lea Fakatātā 3
1 ʻE hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa fakangaloʻi ʻa ʻeku fono; ka ke tauhi ʻe ho loto ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau:
Ndodana yami, ungakhohlwa umlayo wami, kodwa inhliziyo yakho kayigcine imilayo yami.
2 He koeʻuhi ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ia kiate koe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lōloa, mo e moʻui fuoloa, pea mo e melino.
Ngoba yengezelela kuwe ubude bezinsuku leminyaka yempilo lokuthula.
3 Ke ʻoua naʻa mahuʻi ʻiate koe ʻae manavaʻofa mo e moʻoni: nonoʻo ia ki ho kia; tohi ia ki he kakano ʻo ho loto:
Umusa lothembeko kakungakutshiyi, kubophele entanyeni yakho, ukubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
4 Ko ia te ke ʻilo ai ʻae lelei, pea ʻe tāpuekina koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua mo e tangata.
Ngalokho uzathola umusa lokuqedisisa okuhle emehlweni kaNkulunkulu labantu.
5 Falala kia Sihova ʻaki ho loto kotoa; pea ʻoua naʻa ke faʻaki ki ho poto ʻoʻou.
Themba eNkosini ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ungeyami ekuqedisiseni kwakho.
6 Ke ke fakaongoongo kiate ia ʻi ho hala kotoa pē, pea ʻe fakatonutonu ʻe ia ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
Ivume endleleni zakho zonke, yona-ke izaqondisa imikhondo yakho.
7 ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ʻi ho mata ʻoʻou, ʻoku ke poto: ka ke manavahē kia Sihova, pea tafoki mei he kovi.
Ungabi ngohlakaniphileyo emehlweni akho; yesabe iNkosi, usuke ebubini.
8 ʻE hoko ia ko e moʻui ki ho pito, mo e uho ki ho ngaahi hui.
Kuzakuba yikwelatshwa kwenkaba yakho, lokunathwayo kwamathambo akho.
9 Fakaʻapaʻapa kia Sihova ʻaki hoʻo koloa, pea mo e ʻuluaki fua ʻo hoʻo meʻa kotoa pē kuo tupu:
Hlonipha iNkosi ngemfuyo yakho, langezithelo zakho zokuqala zesivuno sakho sonke.
10 Ko ia ʻe fonu ai ho ngaahi feleoko ʻi he mahu, pea ʻe hā ʻae uaine foʻou mei hoʻo ngaahi tataʻoʻanga.
Khona iziphala zakho zizagcwaliswa ngenala, lezikhamelo zakho zewayini ziphuphume iwayini elitsha.
11 ʻE hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke manukiʻi ʻae tautea meia Sihova; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fiu ʻi heʻene valoki:
Ndodana yami, ungadeleli ukulaya kweNkosi, unganengwa yikukhuza kwayo.
12 He ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻoku ne tautea; ʻo hangē pe ko e tamai ki he foha ʻoku ne fiemālie ai.
Ngoba iNkosi iyamlaya emthandayo, yebo, njengoyise indodana athokoza ngayo.
13 ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae poto, mo e tangata ʻoku ne lavaʻi ʻae ʻilo.
Ubusisiwe umuntu othola inhlakanipho, lomuntu ozuza ukuqedisisa.
14 He ʻoku maʻongoʻonga hake ia ʻi he fakatau ʻoe siliva, mo hono mahuʻinga ʻi he koula lelei.
Ngoba inzuzo yakho ingcono kulenzuzo yesiliva, lokutholakalayo kwakho kulegolide.
15 ʻOku mahuʻinga hake ia ʻi he ngaahi maka koloa: pea ʻoku ʻikai tatau mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke faʻa holi ki ai.
Kuligugu elidlula amatshe aligugu, lakho konke ongakufisa kakulinganiswa lakho.
16 ʻOku ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lōloa; pea ʻoku ʻi hono nima toʻohema ʻae koloa mo e ongoongolelei.
Ubude bezinsuku busesandleni sakho sokunene, kwesokhohlo sakho inotho lodumo.
17 Ko hono ngaahi hala ko e hala ʻoe fiemālie, pea ʻoku melino ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga kotoa pē.
Izindlela zakho zizindlela zentokozo, lemikhondo yakho yonke iyikuthula.
18 Ko e ʻakau ia ʻoe moʻui kiate kinautolu ʻoku puke kiate ia: pea ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kuku ia ke maʻu.
Kuyisihlahla sempilo kwabakubambayo, lobambelela kukho ubusisiwe.
19 Kuo fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani ʻi he poto; pea ʻi he ʻilo kuo ne teuteu ai ʻae ngaahi langi.
Ngenhlakanipho iNkosi yasekela umhlaba; yamisa amazulu ngokuqedisisa.
20 Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene faʻa ʻilo ʻoku mapunopuna hake ai ʻae ngaahi loloto, pea ʻoku toʻi ʻae hahau mei he ngaahi ʻao.
Ngolwazi lwayo izinziki zaqhekezwa, lamayezi athonta amazolo.
21 E hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ke mole atu ia mei ho ʻao: tauhi ke maʻu ʻae poto moʻoni mo e ʻiloʻilo.
Ndodana yami, kakungasuki emehlweni akho; gcina inhlakanipho eqotho lengqondo.
22 Pea ʻe hoko ai ia ko e moʻui ki ho laumālie, mo e teunga lelei ki ho kia.
Njalo kuzakuba yimpilo yomphefumulo wakho, lesisa entanyeni yakho.
23 Pea te ke toki ʻalu lelei ʻi ho hala, pea ʻe ʻikai tūkia ho vaʻe.
Khona uzahamba indlela yakho uvikelekile, lonyawo lwakho kaluyikukhubeka.
24 ʻOka ke ka tokoto ki lalo, ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē: ʻio, te ke tokoto hifo, pea ʻe melie hoʻo mohe kiate koe.
Nxa ulala phansi, kawuyikwesaba, yebo, uzalala, lobuthongo bakho buzakuba mnandi.
25 ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki ha meʻa fakailifia ʻoku fakafokifā mai; pe ki he fakaʻauha ʻoe angahala, ʻoka hoko mai ia.
Ungesabi uvalo olujumayo, kumbe ukuchitheka kwababi nxa kufika.
26 He ko ho falalaʻanga ʻa Sihova, pea ʻe fakahaofi ʻe ia ho vaʻe ke ʻoua naʻa ʻefihia.
Ngoba iNkosi izakuba sethembeni lakho, igcine unyawo lwakho ukuze lungabanjwa.
27 ʻOua naʻa taʻofi ʻae lelei meiate kinautolu ʻoku totonu ke ʻatu ia ki ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻi ho nima hono mafai.
Ungagodleli umninikho okuhle nxa kusemandleni esandla sakho ukukwenza.
28 ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ki ho kaungāʻapi, “ʻAlu, pea ke toe haʻu, pea te u foaki ia kiate koe ʻapongipongi;” kae ʻosi ʻoku ke maʻu pe ʻae meʻa ʻiate koe.
Ungathi kumakhelwane wakho: Hamba, ubuye, kusasa ngizakunika; nxa ulakho.
29 ʻOua naʻa ke filioʻi kovi ki ho kaungāʻapi, he ʻoku ne nofo falala pe kiate koe.
Ungacebi okubi ngomakhelwane wakho, ngoba yena uhlala lawe evikelekile.
30 ʻOua naʻa fekuki mo ha taha taʻehanoʻuhinga, ʻo kapau kuo ʻikai ke fai ʻe ia ha kovi kiate koe.
Ungaphikisani lomuntu kungelasizatho, nxa engakonanga.
31 ʻOua naʻa ke meheka ki he tangata fakamālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fili ki hono ngaahi hala ʻoʻona.
Ungahawukeli umuntu olobudlwangudlwangu; ungakhethi leyodwa yezindlela zakhe.
32 He ko e angahala ʻoku fakalielia ia kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻa hono finangalo fufū.
Ngoba ophambeneyo uyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa imfihlo yayo ikwabaqotho.
33 ʻOku ʻi he fale ʻoe angahala ʻae fakamalaʻia meia Sihova: ka ʻoku ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻoe angatonu.
Isiqalekiso seNkosi sisendlini yomubi, kodwa iyawubusisa umuzi wabalungileyo.
34 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ne manukiʻi ʻae kau manuki: ka ʻoku foaki ʻe ia ʻae lelei ki he angavaivai.
Isibili, yona iyabeyisa abeyisayo, kodwa inika umusa kwabathobekileyo.
35 ʻE maʻu ʻe he poto ʻae ongoongolelei: ka ko e hakeakiʻi ʻoe vale ko e meʻa fakamā.
Abahlakaniphileyo bazakudla ilifa lodumo, kodwa abayizithutha, isabelo sabo silihlazo.
