Saame 42
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e akonaki ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ʻOku hangē ko e holi ʻae hainiti ki he ngaahi tafeʻanga vai, ʻoku pehē ʻae holi ʻa hoku laumālie kiate koe, ʻE ʻOtua.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo lamaDodana kaKhora. Njengempala inxwanela imifula yamanzi, kunjalo umphefumulo wami uyakunxwanela, Oh Nkulunkulu.
2 ʻOku holi hoku laumālie ki he ʻOtua, ki he ʻOtua moʻui: te u hoko ʻafē ʻo fakahā au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua?
Umphefumulo wami womela uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ophilayo. Ngizahamba nini ngiyohlangana loNkulunkulu?
3 Ko ʻeku meʻakai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻa hoku ngaahi loʻimata, lolotonga ʻoku nau pehē maʻuaipē kiate au, “Ko e fē ho ʻOtua?”
Inyembezi zami seziyikudla kwami imini lobusuku, lapho abantu besithi kimi ilanga lonke, “Ungaphi uNkulunkulu wakho?”
4 ʻI heʻeku manatu ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻoku ou lilingi hoku laumālie ʻiate au: he naʻaku faʻa ʻalu mo e tokolahi, naʻaku ʻalu mo kinautolu ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he leʻo ʻoe fiefia mo e fakafetaʻi, mo e tokolahi naʻe tauhi ʻae ʻaho tapu.
Lezizinto ngiyazikhumbula nxa ngizisola kakhulu ngidabukile: Ngangihamba endlini kaNkulunkulu, ngaphansi kwempiko zikaSomandla sihlokoma ngentokozo langokubonga lexuku elithakazelela umkhosi.
5 Ko e hā ʻoku ke mapelu ai ki lalo, ʻE hoku laumālie? pea ko e hā kuo ke maveuveu ai ʻi loto ʻiate au? Ke ke ʻamanaki lelei ki he ʻOtua? He ko e moʻoni te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi fakamoʻui ʻo hono fofonga.
Kungani wephukile na, wena mphefumulo wami? Kungani udungekile kanje ngaphakathi kwami? Beka ithemba lakho kuNkulunkulu, ngoba ngisezakumdumisa, uMsindisi wami loNkulunkulu wami.
6 ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku mapelu ki lalo hoku laumālie ʻi loto ʻiate au: ko ia te u manatu ai kiate koe mei he fonua ʻo Sioatani, pea mo Heamoni, mo e moʻunga siʻi ko Maisa.
Umphefumulo wami wephukile ngaphakathi kwami; ngakho ngizakukhumbula kusukela esifundeni seJodani, iziqongo zaseHemoni, kusukela entabeni iMizari.
7 ʻOku ui ʻae loloto ki he loloto ʻi he longoaʻa ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻahiohio vai: ʻoku lōmakiʻi au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi peau kotoa pē mo hoʻo ngaahi ngalu.
Inziki imemeza inziki phakathi kwenhlokomo yezimpophoma zakho; wonke amavinqo lokukhaphaka sekugabhela phezu kwami.
8 Ka ko e moʻoni ʻe fekau mai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻi he ʻaho, pea ʻe ʻiate au ʻene hiva ʻi he poʻuli, mo ʻeku lotu ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
Emini uThixo uyaluqondisa uthando lwakhe ebusuku ingoma yakhe ikhona kimi umkhuleko kuNkulunkulu wempilo yami.
9 Te u pehē ki he ʻOtua ko hoku makatuʻu, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakangaloʻi ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku ou ʻalu mamahi pē ʻi he taʻomia ʻe he fili?”
Ngithi kuNkulunkulu iDwala lami, “Kutheni usungikhohliwe na? Kutheni sengizula ngingolilayo, ngincindezelwa yisitha na?”
10 Ko e manuki ʻa hoku ngaahi fili, ʻoku hangē ko e heletā kuo uhu ki hoku ngaahi hui; ʻi heʻenau pehē mai kiate au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, “Ko e fē ho ʻOtua?”
Amathambo ami ezwa ubuhlungu obungiqedayo lapho izitha zami zingihoza, zisithi kimi ilanga lonke, “Ungaphi uNkulunkulu wakho?”
11 Ko e hā ʻoku ke mapelu ai ki lalo, ʻE hoku laumālie? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke maveuveu ai ʻi loto ʻiate au? Ke ke ʻamanaki lelei ki he ʻOtua: he ko e moʻoni te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia, ʻaia ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoku mata, mo hoku ʻOtua.
Kungani wephukile na, wena mphefumulo wami? Kungani udungekile kanje ngaphakathi kwami? Beka ithemba lakho kuNkulunkulu, ngoba ngisezakumdumisa, uMsindisi wami loNkulunkulu wami.
