Hopa 21
1 Ano ra ko Hopa; i mea ia,
Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 Ata whakarongo mai ki taku kupu, a hei tenei he kupu whakamarie mai ma koutou.
Zwanini lilalele ilizwi lami, lalokho kube zinduduzo zenu.
3 Tukua ahau, a ka korero hoki ahau; a ka mutu aku korero, haere tonu ta koutou tawai.
Ngibekezelelani, ukuthi mina ngikhulume; lemva kokukhuluma kwami lingakloloda.
4 Ahau nei, ki te tangata koia taku amuamu? A he aha ahau te manawanui ai?
Mina-ke ukusola kwami kusemuntwini yini? Kodwa uba kunjalo, kungani umoya wami ungekhathazeke?
5 Titiro mai ki ahau, miharo ai; kopania atu te ringa ki te mangai.
Ngikhangelani, likhakhamale, libeke isandla phezu komlomo.
6 Mahara kau ahau, ka wehi, mau pu te wehi o oku kikokiko.
Yebo, lapho ngikhumbula, ngitshaywa luvalo, lokuthuthumela kubamba inyama yami.
7 He aha te hunga kino i ora ai, i koroheke ai, ae, i marohirohi ai to ratou kaha?
Ababi baphilelani, babe badala, yebo, bakhule emandleni?
8 Pumau tonu o ratou uri ki to ratou taha ki to ratou aroaro, a ko a ratou whanau kei ta ratou tirohanga atu.
Inzalo yabo izinze phambi kwabo kanye labo, lembewu yabo emehlweni abo.
9 O ratou whare kei runga i te rangimarie, kahore he wehi, kahore hoki a te Atua patu ki a ratou.
Izindlu zabo zilokuthula kungelakwesaba, loswazi lukaNkulunkulu kaluphezu kwabo.
10 E kaha ana tana puru ki te ekeeke, kahore hoki e he; ka whanau tana kau, kahore hoki he whakatahe.
Inkunzi yakhe iyakhwela ingaphuthi; inkomokazi yakhe iyazala, ingaphunzi.
11 E tukua mai ana e ratou a ratou kohungahunga ano he kahui hipi, e pekepeke ana a ratou tamariki.
Bakhupha abantwanyana babo njengomhlambi, labantwana babo bayagida.
12 He hunga hapai ratou i te timipera, i te hapa, e koa ana ki te tangi o te okana.
Baphakamisa ilizwi ngesigujana lechacho, bathokoze ngelizwi lomhlanga.
Bachitha insuku zabo ngokuhle, behlele engcwabeni ngokucwayiza kwelihlo. (Sheol h7585)
14 Koia ratou i mea ai ki te Atua, Mawehe atu i a matou; kahore hoki o matou hiahia kia matau ki ou ara.
Babesebesithi kuNkulunkulu: Suka kithi; ngoba kasifisi ulwazi lwendlela zakho.
15 He aha ra te Runga Rawa e mahi ai matou ki a ia? He aha hoki te rawa ki a matou ki te inoi ki a ia?
Uyini uSomandla ukuthi simkhonze? Sizazuzani uba simncenga?
16 Nana, kahore he pai mo ratou i o ratou ringa ake: matara atu i ahau te whakaaro o te hunga kino.
Khangela, okuhle kwabo kakukho esandleni sabo; icebo lababi likhatshana lami.
17 Pehea te maha o nga matenga o te rama a te hunga kino? O nga panga mai ano hoki o to ratou aitua ki a ratou? O te tuwhanga mai a te Atua i nga mamae i a ia e riri ana?
Kukangaki isibane sababi sicitshwa, kusiza ukuchitheka kwabo phezu kwabo! UNkulunkulu ubabela ubuhlungu elakeni lwakhe.
18 E rite ai ratou ki te kakau witi i mua i te hau, ki te papapa e kahakina atu ana e te paroro?
Banjengamahlanga phambi komoya, lanjengomule isiphepho esiwuphephulayo.
19 E mea ana koutou, E rongoatia ana e te Atua tona kino hei mea mo ana tamariki. Mana e utu tera ki a ia tonu, kia mohio ai ia.
UNkulunkulu ubekela abantwana bakhe usizi lwakhe. Uyamvuza, njalo uzakwazi.
20 Tukua kia kite ona ake kanohi i tona hunanga, a tukua ia kia inu i te riri o te Kaha Rawa.
Amehlo akhe azabona ukuchitheka kwakhe, anathe okolaka lukaSomandla.
21 He aha hoki tana manako ki tona whare i muri i a ia? ka poroa hoki ona marama i waenga?
Ngoba iyini intokozo yakhe endlini yakhe emva kwakhe, lapho inani lenyanga zakhe liqunywa?
22 E whakaako ianei tetahi i te Atua ki te matauranga? Ko te kaiwhakawa hoki ia mo te hunga whakakake.
Kukhona ongafundisa uNkulunkulu ulwazi yini? Ngoba yena wehlulela abaphezulu.
23 Tenei tangata, mate iho ia, pakari rawa ano hoki ona kaha, ata takoto ana ana mea katoa, kahore hoki he raruraru.
Lo uyafa esemandleni akhe apheleleyo, yena wonke onwabile, elokuthula.
24 Ki tonu ona u i te waiu, a e makuku ana ona wheua i te hinu.
Iziphathelo zakhe zigcwele uchago, lomnkantsho wamathambo akhe umanzi.
25 Mate iho hoki tera tangata, kawa tonu tona wairua, kahore hoki he pai hei kai mana.
Lomunye ufa elomphefumulo obabayo, engadlanga kokuhle.
26 Ka takoto ngatahi raua ki te puehu, a ko te iro hei hipoki mo raua.
Balala ndawonye ethulini, lempethu zibasibekele.
27 Nana, e mohio ana ahau ki o koutou whakaaro, ki ta koutou ngarahu nanakia ano hoki moku.
Khangelani, ngiyayazi imicabango yenu, lamacebo eliwaceba limelene lami.
28 E ki ana hoki koutou, Kei hea te whare o te rangatira? Kei hea hoki te teneti i noho ai te hunga kino?
Ngoba lithi: Ingaphi indlu yesiphathamandla? Njalo lingaphi ithente lendawo zababi zokuhlala?
29 Kahore ianei koutou i ui ki te hunga e haere atu ana i te ara? Kahore ranei koutou i mohio ki a ratou tohu?
Kalibabuzanga yini abadlula ngendlela, njalo kalinanzeleli iziboniso zabo?
30 Kei te rongoa nei hoki te tangata kono mo te ra o te whakangaro; ka whakaputaina ratou i te ra o te riri.
Ukuthi omubi uyekelwa osukwini lokubhujiswa; bazalethwa osukwini lwezintukuthelo.
31 Ko wai e whakaatu i tona ara ki tona aroaro? Ko wai hoki hei hoatu i te utu mo tana mahi ki a ia?
Ngubani ozamtshela indlela yakhe ebusweni? Ngubani ozamphindisela ngakwenzileyo?
32 Heoi ka kawea ia ki te urupa; kei te puranga he wahi mona.
Kanti yena uzasiwa engcwabeni, lilindwe idundulu.
33 Ka reka ki a ia nga pokuru o te awaawa, ka whai mai ano hoki nga tangata katoa i a ia; e kore nei hoki e taea te tatau te hunga i mua i a ia.
Amagade esihotsha amnandi kuye, njalo udonsa wonke umuntu emva kwakhe, njengoba bengelakubalwa abaphambi kwakhe.
34 He pehea ra ta koutou whakamarie tinihanga i ahau, e toe na hoki te he i roto i a koutou kupu e whakahoki mai na?
Pho lizangiduduza njani ngeze, ngoba empendulweni zenu kusele inkohliso?
