Lea Fakatātā 30
1 Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAkuli ko e foha ʻo Sake, ʻaia ko e kikite: naʻe lea ʻae tangata kia ʻItieli, ʻio, kia ʻItieli mo ʻUkali.
Amazwi ka-Aguri indodana kaJakhe, amazwi ahlakaniphileyo: Umuntu lo wathi ku-Ithiyeli: “Ngikhathele, Oh Nkulunkulu, kodwa ngizophumelela.
2 “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi hake ʻa ʻeku vale ʻi he tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae poto ʻo ha tangata.
Angilalwazi okudlula bonke abantu; angilakho ukuzwisisa komuntu.
3 Kuo ʻikai akonekina au ki he poto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
Angikufundanga ukuhlakanipha njalo kangilalwazi ngaye oNgcwele.
4 Ko hai kuo ʻalu hake ki he langi, pe ʻalu hifo? Ko hai ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae matangi ʻi hono nima? Ko hai kuo ne fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi ha kofu? Ko hai kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani? Ko hai hono huafa, pea ko hai ʻae huafa ʻo hono ʻAlo, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke faʻa fakahā?
Ngubani oseke waya ezulwini waphinda wehla na? Ngubani oseke wafumbatha umoya ngesandla sakhe na? Ngubani oseke wagoqela amanzi ngesigqoko sakhe na? Ngubani omise yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba na? Lingubani ibizo lakhe, lebizo lendodana yakhe? Ngitshela nxa usazi!
5 “ʻOku maʻa ʻae folofola kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua: pea ko e ungaʻanga ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
Wonke amazwi kaNkulunkulu akalamposiso; uyisihlangu kulabo abacatsha kuye.
6 ʻOua naʻa ke fakalahi ki heʻene folofola telia naʻa ne valokiʻi koe, pea ʻe ʻilo ai koe ko e loi.”
Ungengezeleli emazwini akhe, funa akukhuze akwenze umqambimanga.
7 Ko e meʻa ʻe ua kuo u kole kiate koe; pea ʻoua naʻa ke taʻofi ia ʻiate au ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku mate.
Zimbili izinto engizicela kuwe, Oh Thixo; ungangincitshi zona ngingakafi:
8 Hiki ke mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae vaʻinga mo e loi: pea ʻoua naʻaku masiva pe koloaʻia: fafanga ʻaki au ʻae meʻakai ʻoku taau pe mo au:
Susa kimi inkohliso lamanga; ungangiphi ubuyanga loba inotho, kodwa ungiphe kuphela ukudla kwami kwansukuzonke.
9 Telia naʻaku mākona, pea u fakafisiʻi koe, pea u pehē, Ko hai ʻa Sihova? Telia foki naʻaku masiva, pea u kaihaʻa, mo takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo hoku ʻOtua.
Phela ngingaba lokunengi kakhulu ngikuphike wena ngithi, ‘Ungubani uThixo?’ loba ngibengumyanga ngintshontshe; ngalokho ngiliyangise ibizo likaNkulunkulu wami.
10 ʻOua naʻa ke fakakoviʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki, telia naʻa ne kapeʻi koe, pea ʻilo ko koe ʻoku halaia.
Ungahlebi inceku enkosini yayo, ngoba izakuqalekisa ungene enkathazweni.
11 ʻOku ai ʻae fānau ʻoku kape ki heʻenau tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tāpuakiʻi ʻenau faʻē.
Bakhona abathuka oyise, abangababusisiyo onina;
12 ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni ʻi honau mata ʻonautolu, ka ʻoku teʻeki ke fufulu ʻenau anga fakalielia.
labo abazibona belungile ikanti kabahlambululwanga emanyaleni abo;
13 ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻOi seuke! Hono ʻikai māʻolunga ʻa honau mata! Pea kuo nau hiki hake honau laumata.
labo abamehlo abo ahlezi egcwele ulaka, abakhangela ngokudelela;
14 ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻoku tatau honau nifo mo e heletā, mo honau ngao ʻoku hangē ko e hele, ke kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae masiva mei he funga ʻo māmani, pea ʻosi mo e paea mei he kakai.
labo omazinyo abo zinkemba, omihlathi yabo inanyathiselwe izingqamu ukuze baginye abayanga baphele emhlabeni, labaswelayo abaphakathi kwabantu.
15 “ʻOku maʻu ʻe he aluka ʻae ʻofefine ʻe toko ua ʻoku tangi, ‘Foaki mai, foaki mai.’ “ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ke fiemālie, ʻio, ʻoku fā ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke nau pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi:’
Umkhaza ulamadodakazi amabili; ayamemeza athi, ‘Siphe! Siphe!’ Zintathu izinto ezingasuthiyo, zine ezingakaze zithi, ‘Sekwanele!’:
16 Ko e faʻitoka; mo e manāva ʻoku paʻa; ko e kelekele ʻoku ʻikai pito ʻi he vai; pea mo e afi ʻoku ʻikai ke pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi.’ (Sheol h7585)
lingcwaba yisisu senyumba, lomhlabathi ongasuthiyo amanzi, lomlilo ongezukufa wathi, ‘Sekwanele!’ (Sheol h7585)
17 “Ko e mata ʻoku manuki ki heʻene tamai, pea ʻikai tokanga ke fai talangofua ki heʻene faʻē, ʻe kapeʻi ia ʻe he fanga leveni ʻoe teleʻa, pea ʻe kai ia ʻe he fanga ʻikale iiki.
Ilihlo elihleka uyise, elidelela ukulalela unina, lizakotsholwa ngamawabayi asesigodini, lizadliwa ngamanqe.
18 ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au, ʻio, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi.
Kukhona izinto ezintathu ezingimangalisayo kakhulu, ezine engingazizwisisiyo:
19 Ko e punaʻanga ʻoe ʻikale ʻi he ʻatā; mo e hala ʻoe ngata ʻi he funga maka; mo e ʻaluʻanga ʻoe vaka ʻi he loto vaha; mo e anga ʻae tangata ki he tāupoʻou.
indlela yengqungqulu emkhathini, umzila wenyoka edwaleni, indlela yomkhumbi olwandle, lendlela yejaha lentombi.
20 ʻOku pehē ʻae anga ʻae fefine tonotangata; ʻoku ne kai, ʻo ne holoholo hono ngutu, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u fai ha kovi.”
Le yindlela yesiphingikazi: siyadla sesule umlomo waso besesisithi, ‘Angenzanga lutho olubi.’
21 Ko e meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku maveuveu ai ʻa māmani, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai ke ne faʻa kātakiʻi:
Zintathu izinto ezizamazamisa umhlaba, zine ongeke uzithwale:
22 Ko e tamaioʻeiki kuo fakanofo ke pule; mo e tangata vale kuo mākona ʻi he meʻakai;
yinceku ebayinkosi, yisiwula esisuthiyo,
23 Mo e fefine anga fakalielia kuo mali; mo e kaunanga ʻoku hoko ki he koloa ʻa ʻene ʻeiki fefine.
ngumfazi owendileyo ongathandwayo, lencekukazi ethathela inkosikazi indoda.
24 ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku iiki ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, ka ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻenau poto:
Kukhona emhlabeni izinto ezine ezincinyane, ikanti-ke zihlakaniphile kakhulu:
25 Ko e lō, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku ʻikai ke mālohi, ka ʻoku nau tokonaki ʻenau meʻakai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana.
Ubunyonyo kabulamandla anganani, kodwa buyabuthelela ukudla kwabo ehlobo;
26 Ko e fanga safana, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku vaivai pe, ka ʻoku nau ngaohi honau fale ʻi he ngaahi maka;
lezimbila ziyizidalwa ezilamandla angatsho lutho, kodwa zenza izikhundla zazo ezingoxweni zamadwala;
27 ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ha tuʻi ʻe he fanga heʻe, ka ʻoku nau puna fakataha atu;
izintethe kazilankosi, kodwa zihamba ziludibi olwesabekayo;
28 ʻOku puke ʻaki ʻe he hina ʻa hono nima, ʻo ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
umbankwa ungabanjwa ngesandla, kodwa ungena lasezigodlweni zamakhosi.
29 ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku lelei ʻenau ʻalu, ʻio, ʻoku fā, ʻae meʻa ʻoku matalelei ʻenau ʻalu:
Kulezinto ezintathu ezihamba zinqekuza kamnandi, zine ezihamba zibeka kamnandi:
30 Ko e laione ʻaia ʻoku mālohi ʻi he fanga manu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki atu ʻi ha taha;
yisilwane, esilamandla esabekayo phakathi kwezilo, esingabalekeli lutho;
31 Ko e hoosi; mo e kosi tangata foki; pea mo e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fai ki ai ha angatuʻu.
liqhude eliditshazelayo, yimpongo, njalo lenkosi nxa ihanqwe libutho layo.
32 “Kapau kuo ke fai vale ʻi hoʻo hiki hake koe ʻe koe, pea kapau kuo ke mahalo kovi, ke ke ʻai ho nima ki ho ngutu.
Nxa ube yisithutha waziphakamisa, kumbe nxa wakhe amacebo okwenza okubi, vala umlomo wakho ngesandla sakho.
33 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tupu ʻae pota ʻi he tuki ʻae huʻahuhu ʻoe manu, pea tupu ʻae toto ʻi he mioʻi ʻoe ihu: ʻoku pehē, ʻoku tupu ʻae fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he ʻita fakamālohi.”
Ngoba njengokuphehla uchago kudala iphehla, lanjengoba ukugubha amakhala kubanga umungula, kunjalo ukuvusa ulaka kudala ingxabano.”
