Saame 14

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Kuo pehē ʻe he vale ʻi hono loto, “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua.” Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, kuo nau fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue fakalielia, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei.

Mpumbavu husema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wamepotoka nakufanya uovu haramu; hakuna hata mmoja atendaye dhambi.

2 Naʻe ʻafio hifo ʻe Sihova mei he langi ki he fānau ʻae tangata, ke ʻafio pē ʻoku ai ha niʻihi ʻoku ʻilo, mo kumi ki he ʻOtua.

Yahwe anatazama chini kwa wanadamu kutoka mbinguni aone kama kuna yeyote anayeelewa, amtafutaye Mungu.

3 Kuo ʻalu hē kotoa pē, kuo nau hoko ʻo fakalielia kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha.

Wote wamegeukia njia nyingine. Kwa pamoja wamepotoka. Hakuna yeyote atendaye mema, hakuna, hata mmoja.

4 “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi? ʻAkinautolu ʻoku kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kai mā, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ui kia Sihova.”

Je, hawajui lolote, wale wafanyao uovu, wale wanao kula watu wangu kama vile wanakula mkate, lakini hao hawamuiti Yahwe?

5 Pea naʻa nau manavahē ai ʻi he manavahē lahi: he ʻoku ʻi he toʻutangata ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.

Wao wana tetemeka kwa hofu. Kwa kuwa Mungu yuko pamoja na kusanyiko la wenye haki!

6 Naʻa mou manukiʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe masiva, ka ko hono hūfanga ʻa Sihova.

Ninyi mnataka kumfedhehesha mtu maskini japo kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio lake.

7 Ko hai te ne foaki mei Saione ʻae fakamoʻui ki ʻIsileli? ʻOka toe ʻomi ʻe Sihova hono kakai kuo pōpula, ʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sēkope, pea nekeneka ʻa ʻIsileli.

Oh, kwamba wokovu wa Israeli ungetokea Sayuni! Wakati Yahwe akiwarudisha watu wake kutoka utumwani, ndipo Yakobo atashangilia na Israeli itakuwa na furaha!
