Lea Fakatātā 5
1 ʻE hoku foha, tokanga ki heʻeku poto, pea ke fakaongo ho telinga ki heʻeku ʻilo:
Ndodana yami, nanzelela ukuhlakanipha kwami, ulalele kuhle amazwi ami alombono,
2 Koeʻuhi ke ke tokangaʻi ʻae fakapotopoto, pea ke maʻu pe ʻi ho loungutu ʻae ʻilo.
ukuze uhlale ukwazi ukukhetha okuqondileyo lokuze izindebe zakho zigcine ulwazi.
3 He ʻoku toʻi ʻae loungutu ʻoe fefine muli ʻo hangē ko e ngeʻesi ʻoe honi, pea ʻoku molemole lahi hake ʻi he lolo ʻa hono ngutu:
Phela izindebe zesifebekazi zithonta uluju, lenkulumo yaso iyatshelela kulamafutha;
4 Ka ʻoku tatau mo e kona ʻīʻī ʻa hono ikuʻanga, ʻo māsila ʻo hangē ha heletā fakatoumata.
kodwa ekucineni iyababa ingathi yinyongo, ibukhali njengenkemba esika nxa zombili.
Inyawo zaso zehlela ekufeni; izinyathelo zaso ziqonda nta elibeni. (Sheol h7585)
6 Pea telia naʻa ke fakakaukau ki he hala ʻoe moʻui, ʻoku fakafihi ʻe ia hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga, ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻiloʻi ia.
Kasikhathali ukuthi kuphilwa njani; izindlela zaso ziyazombeleza, kodwa kasikuboni lokho.
7 Ko ia ʻae fānau, ke mou fanongo kiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa mou hē mei he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.
Ngalokho-ke, madodana ami, ngilalelani; lingaphambuki kulokho engikukhulumayo.
8 Ke fakamamaʻo ʻaupito ho hala meiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ofi ki he matapā ʻo hono fale:
Hambani ngendlela ekhatshana kwaso, lingasondeli emnyango wendlu yaso,
9 Telia naʻa ke foaki ho ongolelei ki ha kakai kehe, pea moho ngaahi taʻu ki he kakai loto fakafasifasi:
funa unikele kwabanye amandla akho wonke lobudala bakho kulowo olesihluku,
10 Telia naʻa pito ʻae kau muli ʻi ho mālohi; pea ʻe ʻi he fale ʻoe muli hoʻo ngaahi ngāue;
funa abemzini bazitike ngenotho yakho lokusebenza kwakho kunothise umuzi wenye indoda.
11 Pea ke tangi mamahi ʻamui, ʻoka kai ʻo ʻosi ho kakano mo ho sino,
Ekupheleni kokuphila kwakho uzabubula, lapho inyama yakho lomzimba wakho sekugugile.
12 ʻo ke pehē ai, “ʻOiauē, naʻe lahi ʻeku fehiʻa ki he akonaki, pea naʻe manukiʻi ʻe hoku loto ʻae valoki;
Uzakuthi, “Uthi ngangikuzonda yini ukulaywa! Inhliziyo yami yayikuzonda njani ukuqondiswa!
13 Pea naʻe ʻikai teu talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo hoku kau akonaki, pe fakatokangaʻi hoku telinga kiate kinautolu naʻa nau ako kiate au!
Ngangingafuni ukulalela abafundisi bami kumbe ukulalela abeluleki bami.
14 Naʻaku meimei kau ʻi he kovi kotoa pē, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe haʻohaʻonga mo e fakatahaʻanga.”
Ngacina sengisenkingeni enkulu ngiphakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu.”
15 Inu ʻae vai mei ho lepa pe ʻoʻou, mo e vaitafe mei he vai keli pe ʻoʻou.
Natha amanzi kowakho umgqomo, amanzi agelezayo kowakho umthombo.
16 Ke tafe atu ho ngaahi mangamangaʻi vai, mo e vaitafe ʻoe ngaahi vai ki he ngaahi hala.
Kambe imifudlana yakho ingayekelwa igelezela emigwaqweni, lezifula zakho zamanzi zigelezele ezinkundleni zabantu na?
17 Ke tuku ia ko hoʻo meʻa ʻaʻau pe, pea ʻoua naʻa kau ai mo koe ha muli.
Kazibe ngezakho wena wedwa, ungazabelani labafokazana nje.
18 Ke monūʻia ho matavai: pea ke fiefia koe ʻi ho uaifi [ʻaia naʻa ke maʻu ]ʻi hoʻo kei talavou.
Sengathi ungabusiswa umthombo wakho njalo sengathi ungathokoza ngomfazi wobutsha bakho.
19 Ke tatau pe ia mo e hainite ʻofa mo e kāseli fakaʻofoʻofa; pea ke fiemālie maʻuaipē koe ʻi hono fatafata; pea ke fakafiefiaʻi koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi heʻene ʻofa.
Oyimpalakazi ethandekayo, imbabala ebutshelezi amabele akhe sengathi angakusuthisa lanini, nini lanini ukhangwe luthando lwakhe.
20 ʻE hoku foha, ko e hā ka ke ka hē ai ʻi he fefine muli, pea fāʻufua ki he fatafata ʻoe muli?
Kungani ndodana yami, uthunjwa yisifebekazi? Kungani ugona iqolo lomfazi wenye indoda?
21 He ʻoku tokaimaʻananga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoe tangata, pea ʻoku vakai ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
Phela izindlela zomuntu zisobala kuThixo, uyazihlola zonke izindlela zakhe.
22 ʻE moʻua ʻae angahala ʻi heʻene ngaahi hia ʻaʻana, pea ʻe haʻisia ʻaki ia ʻae afo ʻo ʻene angahala.
Izenzo ezimbi zomuntu omubi ziyamthiya; izibopho zesono sakhe zimuthe nko.
23 ʻE mate taʻeakonekina ia; pea ʻe hē ia ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻene vale.
Uzabhubha ngoba engalayeki, elahlekiswa yibuphukuphuku bakhe.
