Sakalaia 3
1 Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate au ʻa Siosiua, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova; pea tuʻu ʻa hono fili ko Sētane ʻi hono potu toʻomataʻu, ko hono tukuakiʻi.
Kisha akanionyesha Yoshua, kuhani mkuu, akiwa amesimama mbele ya malaika wa Bwana, naye Shetani amesimama upande wake wa kuume ili amshtaki.
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻa Sihova kia Sētane, “ʻE Sētane ke valokiʻi koe ʻe Sihova, ʻio, ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne fili ʻa Selūsalema, ke ne valokiʻi koe! ʻIkai ko e potupotuʻi afi eni, kuo hamusi mai mei he afi?”
Bwana akamwambia Shetani, “Bwana akukemee Shetani! Bwana, ambaye ameichagua Yerusalemu, akukemee! Je, mtu huyu siyo kijinga kinachowaka kilichonyakuliwa kwenye moto?”
3 Ka ko eni, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Siosiua ʻae ngaahi kofu fakalielia, ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻāngelo.
Wakati huu, Yoshua alikuwa amevaa nguo chafu alipokuwa amesimama mbele ya malaika.
4 Pea naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo pehē, “Vete meiate ia ʻae ngaahi kofu fakalielia;” pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo u pule ke mole atu meiate koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi hia, pea te u totongi mo fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae kofu foʻou.”
Malaika akawaambia wale waliokuwa wamesimama mbele yake, “Mvueni hizo nguo zake chafu.” Kisha akamwambia Yoshua, “Tazama, nimeiondoa dhambi yako, nami nitakuvika mavazi ya kitajiri.”
5 Pea ne u pehē, “Tuku ke nau ʻai ki hono ʻulu ʻae pale fakasanisani; pea ko ia naʻa nau ʻai ha pale fakasanisani ki hono ʻulu, pea naʻe ʻai mo e ngaahi kofu kiate ia. Pea naʻe tuʻu ofi ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova.
Kisha nikasema, “Mvike kilemba kilicho safi kichwani mwake.” Kwa hiyo wakamvika kilemba safi kichwani na kumvika yale mavazi mengine, wakati malaika wa Bwana akiwa amesimama karibu.
6 Pea naʻe fakapapau mai ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē,
Malaika wa Bwana akamwamuru Yoshua:
7 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Kapau te ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, pea kapau te ke fai ki heʻeku fekau, pehē, te ke toki fakamaau foki ʻi hoku fale, pea te ke tauhi foki ʻa hoku ngaahi lotoʻā, pea te u vaheʻi ha ngaahi potu ke ke ʻeveʻeva fakataha ai mo kinautolu ʻoku tau tutuʻu ai ni.
“Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: ‘Ikiwa utakwenda katika njia zangu na kushika masharti yangu, basi utaitawala nyumba yangu na kuwa na amri juu ya nyua zangu, nami nitakupa nafasi miongoni mwa hawa wasimamao hapa.
8 Fanongo eni, ʻE Siosiua ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻaa koe, mo hoʻo kaunga ngāue ʻoku nofo ʻi ho ʻao: he ko e kau tangata ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae ofo; he vakai, te u fakahā ʻeau ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko e VAA.
“‘Sikiliza, ee Yoshua kuhani mkuu, pamoja na wenzako walioketi mbele yako, ambao ni watu walio ishara ya mambo yatakayokuja: Ninakwenda kumleta mtumishi wangu, Tawi.
9 Koeʻuhi, vakai ki he maka ʻaia kuo u ʻai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Siosiua; ʻe ʻi he maka ʻe taha ʻae mata ʻe fitu; vakai te u tongi ʻeau ʻae tongi ʻe fai ki ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘pea te u ʻave ʻae angahala ʻae fonua ko ia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.’
Tazama, jiwe nililoliweka mbele ya Yoshua! Kuna macho saba juu ya jiwe lile moja, nami nitachora maandishi juu yake,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, ‘nami nitaiondoa dhambi ya nchi hii kwa siku moja.
10 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘ko e ʻaho ko ia ʻe feuiʻaki ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kaungāʻapi ʻi he lolo vaine mo e lolo fiki.’”
“‘Katika siku hiyo kila mmoja wenu atamwalika jirani yake akae chini ya mzabibu wake na mtini wake,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.”
