Saame 49
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. Mou fanongo ki he meʻa ni, ʻae kakai kotoa pē; fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani:
Zwanini lokhu lonke bantu. Bekani indlebe lonke bakhileyo bomhlaba,
2 ʻAe māʻulalo mo e māʻolunga, ʻae maʻumeʻa mo e masiva, fakataha.
bonke abantukazana labaphakemeyo, abanothileyo labayanga, ndawonye.
3 ʻE lea hoku ngutu ʻi he poto; pea ʻe kau ki he ʻilo ʻae fakakaukau ʻa hoku loto.
Umlomo wami uzakhuluma izinhlakanipho, lokuzindla kwenhliziyo yami kuzakuba yikuqedisisa.
4 Te u fakatokangaʻi hoku telinga ki he lea fakatātā: te u fakahā ʻi he haʻape ʻeku lea ʻilongataʻa.
Ngizabeka indlebe yami kuso isaga, ngizavula ilibho lami ngechacho.
5 Ko e hā te u manavahē ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kovi, ʻoka takatakai au ʻe he hia ʻo hoku vaʻe?
Ngizakwesabelani ensukwini zobubi, nxa ububi babagwenxi bami buzangihanqa.
6 Ko kinautolu ʻoku falala ki heʻenau mālohi, ʻo polepole ʻi hono lahi ʻo ʻenau koloa;
Abathemba ingcebo yabo, abazincoma ngobunengi benotho yabo,
7 ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ʻe hanau tokotaha ke huhuʻi hono tokoua, pe ʻatu ki he ʻOtua hano totongi:
umuntu kasoze ahlenge lokuhlenga umfowabo, kasoze amnike uNkulunkulu inhlawulo yakhe,
8 He ko e huhuʻi ʻo honau laumālie ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi, pea ʻoku tuku ai pe ia ʻo taʻengata:
(ngoba uhlengo lomphefumulo wabo luligugu, futhi luyaphela laphakade)
9 Koeʻuhi ke ne kei moʻui maʻuaipē, pea ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
ukuze ahlale ephila phakade, angaboni ukubola.
10 He ʻoku ne mamata ʻoku mate ʻae kau tangata poto, pea ʻoku ʻauha foki ʻae tangata vale pea mo e taʻeʻilo, ʻonau tuku ʻenau koloa ki he kakai kehe.
Ngoba ubona ukuthi abahlakaniphileyo bayafa, lokuthi isithutha kanye lesiphukuphuku bayabhubha, batshiyele inotho yabo abanye.
11 ʻOku mahalo ʻa honau loto, ʻe tuʻumaʻu pē honau fale ʻo taʻengata, mo honau ngaahi nofoʻanga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē; ʻoku nau fakahingoa honau ʻapi ki honau hingoa ʻonautolu.
Umcabango wabo wangaphakathi uyikuthi izindlu zabo zizakuba ngezaphakade, izindawo zabo zokuhlala zibe ngezezizukulwana, babize amazwe ngamabizo abo.
12 Ka ko e moʻoni ko e tangata ʻoku māʻolunga ʻoku ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia: ʻoku tatau ia mo e fanga manu ʻoku ʻauha.
Kodwa umuntu elodumo kayikuma, uyafanana lenyamazana ezibhubhayo.
13 Pea ko honau hala ni ko ʻenau vale ia: ka ʻoku mālieʻia honau hako ʻi heʻenau ngaahi lea. (Sila)
Le indlela yabo iyibuthutha babo; kube kanti ababalandelayo bathokoza ngomlomo wabo. (Sela)
14 Kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ki he faʻitoka ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi; ʻe fafanga ʻaki ʻae mate ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe maʻu ʻae mālohi kiate kinautolu ʻe he kakai angatonu ʻi he pongipongi; pea ʻe ʻauha honau matamatalelei ʻi he faʻitoka mei honau nofoʻanga. (Sheol h7585)
Njengezimvu bamiselwe ingcwaba, ukufa kuzabelusa; labaqotho bazababusa ekuseni, isimo sabo ngesokuqedwa lingcwaba ukuze bangabi lendawo yokuhlala. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ka ʻe huhuʻi hoku laumālie ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mālohi ʻoe faʻitoka: he te ne maʻu au. (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
Kodwa uNkulunkulu uzahlenga umphefumulo wami emandleni engcwaba, ngoba uzangemukela. (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
16 ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē koe ʻoka hoko ʻo koloaʻia ha tokotaha, ʻi he tupu pē ʻae nāunau ʻo hono fale;
Ungesabi nxa umuntu enotha, nxa udumo lwendlu yakhe lusanda;
17 He ʻoka mate ia ʻe ʻikai te ne fua ʻo ʻave ha meʻa ʻe taha: ʻe ʻikai muimui hifo ʻiate ia hono nāunau.
ngoba ekufeni kwakhe kayikuthatha lutho, udumo lwakhe kaluyikwehla lumlandele.
18 Ka ʻi heʻene moʻui naʻa ne tāpuaki hono laumālie: pea ʻe fakamālō ʻae kakai kiate koe, ʻoka ke ka fai lelei kiate koe.
Lanxa empilweni yakhe wabusisa umphefumulo wakhe, njalo bakudumisa nxa uzenzela okuhle,
19 ʻE ʻalu ia ki he toʻutangata ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai; ʻe ʻikai tenau mamata ki he maama.
uzakuya esizukulwaneni saboyise, kabayikubona ukukhanya kuze kube phakade.
20 Ko e tangata ʻoku māʻolunga, ka ʻoku ʻikai poto, ʻoku tatau ia mo e fanga manu ʻoku ʻauha.
Umuntu olodumo, engaqedisisi, unjengezinyamazana ezibhubhayo.
