Lea Fakatātā 8
1 ʻIkai ʻoku kalanga ʻae poto? Pea ʻai mai ʻe he faʻa ʻilo hono leʻo?
Ukuhlakanipha kakumemezi yini? Ukuqedisisa kakuphakamisi ilizwi lakho na?
2 ʻOku tuʻu ia ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi potu ʻi he ngaahi veʻe hala.
Emiqolweni yezindlela, emahlanganweni ezindlela kulapho okujame khona;
3 ʻOku ne kalanga ʻi he ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi matanikolo, ʻi he ava ʻoe ngaahi matapā.
emasangweni angena phakathi kwedolobho, ezintubeni kuyamemeza kakhulu kusithi:
4 “ʻAe kau tangata, ʻoku ou ui kiate kimoutolu! Pea ʻoku hiki hake hoku leʻo ki he fānau ʻae tangata,
“Ngimemeza lina, madoda; ilizwi lami libiza bonke abantu.
5 ʻAe kau sesele, mou ʻilo ʻae poto: pea ke maʻu ʻekimoutolu, ko e kau vale, ʻae loto faʻa ʻilo.
Lina eliyizithutha, zuzani ukuqonda; lina ziphukuphuku, zuzani ukuqedisisa.
6 Fanongo; he te u lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei; pea ʻe mafaʻa hoku loungutu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa totonu.
Lalelani ngoba ngilitshela izinto eziqakathekileyo; ngivula izindebe zami ngikhuluma okuqondileyo.
7 Pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻe hoku ngutu; pea ko e meʻa fakalielia ki hoku loungutu ʻae kovi.
Umlomo wami ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ngoba izindebe zami ziyabenyanya ububi.
8 ʻOku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa hoku ngutu; ʻoku ʻikai ha pikopiko pe ha kākā ʻi ai.
Wonke amazwi omlomo wami aqondile; kalikho lelilodwa elitshekileyo loba elingcolileyo.
9 ʻOku ʻilongofua kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku poto, pea totonu kiate kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻae ʻilo.
Kulowo ozwisisayo wonke alungile; akulankohliso kulabo abalolwazi.
10 Maʻuā ʻeku akonaki, kae siʻaki ʻae siliva; pea ke lelei hake ʻae maʻu ʻoe ʻilo ʻi he koula lelei.
Khetha iseluleko sami kulesiliva, ulwazi kulegolide elikhethiweyo,
11 “He ʻoku lelei hake ʻae poto ʻi he ngaahi maka koloa; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tatau mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke faʻa holi ki ai.
ngoba ukuhlakanipha kuligugu okudlula amarubhi, njalo akulanto ongayifisa ezifisweni zakho okulingana lakho.
12 Ko au poto ʻoku ma nonofo mo faʻa filioʻi, pea u maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻi he fakatupu meʻa foʻou.
Mina, kuhlakanipha, ngihlala ndawonye lokuqondisisa; ngilolwazi lokukhetha kuhle.
13 Ko e manavahē kia Sihova, ko e fehiʻa ia ki he kovi: ko e fielahi, mo e fakapuhopuhā, mo e angakovi mo e ngutu kovi, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.
Ukwesaba uThixo yikuzonda ububi; ngiyakuzonda ukuzazisa lobuqholo, ukuziphatha kubi lenkulumo ebolileyo.
14 ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae akonaki, mo e poto moʻoni: ko au ko e faʻa ʻilo, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae mālohi.
Ukweluleka lokwahlulela okuhle kungokwami; ngilokuzwisisa lamandla.
15 Ko e meʻa ʻiate au ʻoku pule ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, pea fai fakamaau ʻe he houʻeiki.
Amakhosi abusa ngenxa yami lababusi balakho ukutshaya imithetho elungileyo;
16 ʻOku pule ʻae houʻeiki ʻiate au, mo e kakai ʻeiki, mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
amakhosana abusa ngami, lazozonke izikhulu ezibusa emhlabeni.
17 ʻOku ou ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au; pea ʻe maʻu au ʻekinautolu ʻoku kumi tōtōaki kiate au.
Ngiyabathanda labo abangithandayo, labo abangidingayo bayangithola.
18 ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae koloa mo e ongoongolelei; ʻio, ʻae koloa taʻepopo mo e māʻoniʻoni.
Kimi kukhona inotho lodumo, inotho engapheliyo lokuphumelela.
19 ʻOku lelei hake ʻi he koula ʻa hoku fua, ʻio, ʻi he koula lelei; mo ʻeku koloa ʻi he siliva lelei.
Izithelo zami zingcono kulegolide elicengiweyo; okuphuma kimi kwedlula isiliva sekhethelo.
20 ʻOku ou takimuʻa ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he loto hala ʻoe fakamaau:
Ngihamba ngendlela yokulunga, ngilandela umkhondo wokuqonda,
21 Koeʻuhi ke u pule ke maʻu ʻae koloa moʻoni ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au; pea te u fakafonu honau tukunga koloa.
ngiyabela inotho kulabo abangithandayo ngigcwalise iziphala zabo.
22 “Naʻe maʻu au ʻe Sihova ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo hono hala, ʻi muʻa ange ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi muʻa.
UThixo wangenza ngaba khona ngaqalela konke okukhona, kuqala kokwenza ezinye izinto;
23 Naʻe fokotuʻu au talu mei muʻa, mei he kamataʻanga ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻa māmani.
ngaba khona ekudabukeni kwezinto, kwasekuqaleni, umhlaba ungakabi khona.
24 Naʻe fanauʻi au ʻi he teʻeki ke ai ha loloto; ʻi he teʻeki ai ha matavai ʻoku fonu ʻi he vai.
Kungakabi lezilwandle, ngasengizelwe, kungakabi khona izihotsha ezigcwele amanzi;
25 ʻI he teʻeki ke tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga; naʻe fanauʻi au ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga:
izintaba zingakamiswa ensikeni zazo, engakabi khona amaqaqa, ngasengizelwe,
26 ʻI he teʻeki ai te ne ngaohi ʻa māmani, pe ko e potu maʻalaʻala, pe ko e potu lahi ʻoe efu ʻo māmani.
uThixo engakawenzi umhlaba lamaganga, loba lonke uthuli lomhlaba.
27 ʻI heʻene teuteu ʻae ngaahi langi, naʻaku ʻi ai au: pea ʻi heʻene tuku ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe funga loloto:
Ngangikhona uThixo ehlela kuhle izulu, ephawula kuhle imingcele yomkhathi lolwandle,
28 ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi ʻolunga: ʻi heʻene fakamālohi ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe loloto:
esenza amayezi emkhathini wazizinzisa inziki zolwandle,
29 ʻI heʻene tuku ki he tahi ʻene fono, ke ʻoua naʻa laka mai ia ʻi he meʻa kuo ne fekau: ʻi heʻene tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani.
ebeka imingcele yolwandle ukuze amanzi angedluli izimiso zakhe, ngesikhathi lapho emisa izisekelo zomhlaba.
30 Naʻaku ʻi ai mo ia, ʻo hangē ha taha kuo tupu hake mo ia: ko hono fiefiaʻanga au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pe naʻaku fiefia maʻuaipē i hono ʻao;
Ngalesosikhathi ngangingumbumbi eceleni kwakhe. Ngangilenjabulo enkulu insuku ngensuku, ngithokoza ukuba laye kokuphela,
31 Naʻaku fiefia ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻo māmani ʻoku kakai, pea naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻae tangata ʻa ʻeku fiefiaʻanga.
ngithokoza ngomhlaba wakhe wonke ngijabuliswa yibukhona babantu.
32 “Ko ia, ʻE fānau, mou fanongo mai kiate au: he ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻoku tokanga ki hoku ngaahi hala.
Ngakho-ke, madodana ami, ngilalelani; babusisekile labo abalondoloza izindlela zami.
33 Mou fanongo ki he akonaki, pea mou poto, pea ʻoua naʻa mou taʻetokanga ki ai.
Lalelani imfundiso yami ukuze lihlakaniphe; lingaqali ukuyidela.
34 ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku fanongo kiate au, ʻo ne tatali ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi hoku ngaahi matapā, ʻo ne nofo ʻi hoku veʻe matapā.
Ubusisiwe lowomuntu ongilalelayo, olinda imihla yonke eminyango yami, elindile entubeni yami.
35 He ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu au ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae moʻui, pea ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei meia Sihova.”
Ngoba lowo ongifumanayo uzuza ukuphila emukeliswe ukuthandwa nguThixo.
36 Ka ko ia ʻoku fai angahala kiate au, ʻoku ne fai kovi ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona: ʻoku ʻofa ki he mate ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
Kodwa lowo owehlulekayo ukungifumana uyazilimaza; bonke abangizondayo bathanda ukufa.”
