UYakobi uzinyulele wena, wambeka ngoEsawu; uYakobi waba yingxokolo eninzi. 17 Kwathi, ekuyikhupheni kwakho imbewu yakhe eYiputa, wenyusa waya entabeni yeSinayi. 18 Walithoba izulu, waliseka ihlabathi, walinyibilikisa elimiweyo; 19 Ubungangamsha bakho bungene ngamasango omane, umlilo, nonyikimo, nomoya, nokubanda; Ukuba usiyalele imbewu kaYakobi, Ukhawuleze isizukulwana sikaSirayeli. 20 ukanti akuyisusanga kubo intliziyo enobubi, ukuze umyalelo wakho uvelise isiqhamo kubo. 21 Kuba owokuqala uAdam waba nentliziyo engendawo, wakreqa; babe njalo bonke abazelwe nguye. 22 Ngaloo ndlela ubulwelwe benziwa basisigxina; nomthetho (kwakhona) entliziyweni yabantu ngobubi

Sisiphi na isizukulwana esikholwayo eminqophisweni yakho njengoYakobi? 33 ukanti umvuzo wabo awubonakali, akwabakho siqhamo sokubulaleka kwabo; ngokuba ndicanda phakathi kweentlanga; 34 Khawubulinganise ke ngoku ububi bethu esikalini, nabo bemiyo elimiweyo; ukuze igama lakho lingabi nakufunyanwa ndawo ngaphandle kwaSirayeli. 35 Kunini na apho abemi behlabathi abonanga phambi kwakho? Ngoobani na abantu abayigcinileyo imithetho yakho? 36 Wofumana ukuba uSirayeli uzigcinile iziyalezo zakho; kodwa hayi abahedeni. ISAHLUKO 4 1 Saphendula isithunywa esithunyiweyo kum, esigama linguUriyeli, sathi, 2 Wathi, Intliziyo yakho igalele kude kweli hlabathi; uyayiqonda na indlela yOsenyangweni? 3 Ndathi, Ewe, nkosi yam. Sandiphendula, sathi, Ndithunywe ukuba ndikubonise iindlela ezintathu, nokumisa imizekeliso emithathu phambi kwakho. 4 Ukuba uthe wandazisa, ndokubonisa nendlela othanda ukuyibona, ndikubonise apho ivela khona intliziyo engendawo. 5 Ndathi, Xela, nkosi yam. Wathi kum, Hamba uhambe, undilinganisele ubunzima bomlilo, undilinganisele ukuvuthuza komoya, ungandibize ngalaa mini idluleyo. 6 Ndaphendula ke mna ndathi, Ngubani na onako ukwenza le nto, ukuba ude ubuze kum? 7 Wathi kum, Ukuba ndithe ndikubuza ukuba mingaphi na iminquba esesazulwini solwandle, nokuba mingaphi na imithombo esenzulwini yolwandle; iparadesi: 8 Mhlawumbi ungathi kum, Andizange ndihle ndiye enzonzobileni, ndingekangeni nasesihogweni, ndingazange ndinyuke ndiye ezulwini.
9 Noko ke ngoku ndikubuza kodwa ngomlilo nomoya kuphela, nangemini odlule kuyo, nangezinto ongenako ukwahlulwa kuzo, ukanti akunako ukundiphendula kuzo. 10 Wathi kum, Akuzazi na izinto zakho ezizikhulele kuwe; 11 Singathini na ke ngoko ukuba nako ukuyiqonda indlela yoPhezukonke, ukuba ihlabathi ngoku lonakele ngokuphandle, liqonde ukonakala okubonakalayo emehlweni am? 12 Ndathi ke kuye, Bekusilungele kanye ukuba singabikho, kunokuba siqhubeke sisebubini, sibandezeleke, singazi nto ingako. 13 Sandiphendula, sathi, Ndingene ehlathini ethafeni, yacebisana imithi; 14 zathi, Yizani, silwe nolwandle, lumke phambi kwethu, senze amahlathi. 15 Kwangokunjalo nemilambo yolwandle yacebisana, yathi, Yizani, sinyuke, siloyise ihlathi lehewu, sisenzele khona ilizwe limbi. 16 Kwaba lilize ukucinga ngeenkuni; kwafika umlilo, wawudla. 17 Kwangokunjalo kwaphela neengcinga zeemilambo zolwandle, kuba intlabathi yema, yabavingca. 18 Ukuba ubugweba phakathi kwabo bobabini, ubuya kuqala bani na ukugwebela? ungamgweba bani na? 19 Ndaphendula ndathi, Yinto yobudenge abacinga yona bobabini; 20 Sandiphendula ke sathi, Ugwebe ngobulungisa; kodwa, yini na ukuba ungazigwebi nawe? 21 Kuba njengokuba umhlaba unikelwa emithini, nolwandle lunike imikhukula yalo, kwangokunjalo abo bemiyo phezu komhlaba abaqondi nto ingelilo lelasehlabathini; eziphezu kwendawo ephakamileyo yamazulu. 22 Ndaphendula ndathi, Ndiya kukhunga, Nkosi yam, ndiqonde; 23 Ngokuba ibingekuko ukuthanda izinto eziphakamileyo, le nto bendicanda kuthi imihla ngemihla, le nto uSirayeli enikelwe ukuba abe sisingcikivo ezintlangeni, anikelwe kuko abantu obathandayoyo. ngenxa yeentlanga ezingahloneli Thixo; 24 Kwaye siyadlula emhlabeni njengeentethe, kwaye ubomi bethu buyakhwankqiswa noloyiko, kwaye asifanelekanga ukuzuza inceba. 25 Uya kuthini na ke ngoko kwigama lakhe esibizwa ngalo? ndicele kwezi zinto. 26 Sandiphendula, sathi, Okukhona uphengulula, uya kumangaliswa; ngokuba ihlabathi liyakhawuleza ukudlula; 27 Kananjalo akanako ukuziqonda izinto ezithenjiswa amalungisa ngexesha elizayo; ngokuba eli hlabathi lizele kukungalungisi nokuswela. 28 Kodwa ngokuphathelele yona Ondibuza ngako ndokuxelela; ngokuba ububi buhlwayelwa, ke akukafiki intshabalalo yabo. 29 Ukuba ke loo nto ibihlwayelwa ibingagezelwanga, ukuba uthe akwabakho ndawo kuyo, apho ihlwayelwa khona ububi, akusayi kufika loo nto ihlwayelwe okulungileyo. 30 Kuba ukhozo lwembewu ekhohlakeleyo lwahlwayelwa entliziyweni ka-Adam ukususela ekuqalekeni, kwaye
kungakanani na ukungahloneli Thixo okukunyusileyo ukuza kuthi ga kweli xesha? Ingakanani na ke yona isaya kuvelisa, kude kufike ixesha lokubhula? 31 Khawuzibonele ngokwakho, ukuba sasingakanani na ukusikwa kwesiqhamo sobubi; 32 Xa zithe zagawulwa iindlebe ezingenakubalwa, ziya kuzaliswa zingaphi na isanda? 33 Ndaphendula ke ndathi, Ziya kubakho nini na ezi zinto? Yini na ukuba iminyaka yethu ibe mincinane, ibe mibi? 34 Sandiphendula, sathi, Musa ukukhawuleza usukele Osenyangweni; kuba lilize ukuba mkhulu kunaye; 35 Ayibuzanga na ke imiphefumlo yamalungisa ezingontsini zayo, isithi, Koda kube nini na ndithembele ngale nto? siya kufika nini na isiqhamo somgangatho womvuzo wethu? 36 Wabaphendula ke u-Uriyeli isiphatha-zithunywa zezulu, wathi, Naxa inani lembewu lizaliswe kuni; ngokuba ulilinganisele elimiweyo esikalini. 37 Uwalinganise ngomlinganiselo amaxesha; Wawabala ke amaxesha ngamaxesha; akashukumi, akashukumi, ude uzaliseke umlinganiselo lowo. 38 Ndaphendula ke mna, ndathi, Nkosi yam, nkosi yam, sonke singamatshijolo; 39 Kwaye ngenxa yethu mhlawumbi kukuba imigangatho yamalungisa ayizali, ngenxa yezono zabo bahleli phezu komhlaba. 40 Yandiphendula, yathi, Hamba uye kumfazi omithiyo, ubuze kuye, xa athe wazaliseka iinyanga ezisithoba, ukuba siseza kuzala kwakhona. 41 Ndathi ke, Hayi, Nkosi, ayinako. Wathi kum, Engcwabeni ayafana nesizalo somfazi; 42 Kuba, njengomfazi ozalayo, engxamele ukubaleka inzala, kwangokunjalo nabo aba bayakhawuleza ukuyihlangula loo nto bayiphathisiweyo. 43 Kwasekuqalekeni, khangela, ongxamele ukukubona, uya kuyinikwa; 44 Ndaphendula ndathi, Ukuba ndibabalwe nguwe, ukuba kunokwenzeka, nokuba ndiyafaneleka, ngoko, 45 Ndazise ukuba kusekho okuza kudlula, nokuba kugqithile, kugqithisele na kusemva. 46 Into edlulileyo ndiyakwazi, kodwa into ezayo andiyazi. 47 Yathi kum, Yima ngasekunene, ndikuxelele umzekeliso. 48 Ndema ke, ndabona, nanko kugqitha phambi kwam iziko lezonka elivutha umlilo, kwathi, lakuba lidlule ilangatye, ndabheka, nango umsi uhleli. 49 Emveni koko, kwegqitha ilifu lamanzi phambi kwam, lenisa imvula enkulu ngesaqhwithi; kwathi kwakudlula izandyondyo zemvula, amathontsi azola. 50 Wathi kum, Camagu; injengomlilo imvula ngaphezu kwamathontsi, nomlilo umkhulu kunomsi; kuba kusele amathontsi nomsi; 51 Ndathandaza ndathi, Usadla ubomi na, kude kube lelo xesha? Kuya kubakho ntoni na ngaloo mihla? 52 Sandiphendula sathi, Imiqondiso ondibuzayo ngayo, ndothetha ngayo kuwe nakancinane; kuba andiyazi.
ISAHLUKO 5 1 Nangona kunjalo njengokuba iza imiqondiso, qaphelani, imihla iya kuza, yokuba abo bahlala emhlabeni baya kuthatyathwa babe linani elikhulu, kwaye indlela yenyaniso iya kufihlwa, nelizwe liya kuba ngumqwebedu wokholo. 2 Bubandisile ubugwenxa ubugwenxa obu bubona ngoku, nobuviweyo kwakudala. 3 Ilizwe olibonayo ngoku ukuba lineengcambu, uya kulibona lisenkangala ngesiquphe. 4 Ukuba ke Osenyangweni uthe wakunika ukuba udle ubomi, wobona emva kwexilongo lesithathu ukuba ilanga liphume ngesiquphe ebusuku, nenyanga kathathu emini; 5 Lithontsize igazi emthini, likhuphe izwi ilitye lalo, bakhwankqiswe abantu; 6 Kwaye uya kulawula, abangamlindelanga abo bemiyo phezu komhlaba, kunye neentaka ziya kusaba kunye. 7 Kwaye ulwandle lwaseSodom luya kuphosela iintlanzi, kwaye ebusuku kuya kugquma, into abangayaziyo abaninzi, kodwa bonke baya kuliva isandi salo. 8 Kuya kubakho isiphithiphithi kwiindawo ezininzi, kuphinde kuphunyezwe umlilo, namarhamncwa azitshintshe iindawo zawo, namaxhwele azale izilo; 9 Amanzi anetyuwa aya kufunyanwa kwabamnandi, kwaye zonke izihlobo ziya kutshabalalisana; yandule ukuzifihla, iqonde egumbini layo elisithekileyo; 10 Kuya kufunwa ngabaninzi, bangafumaneki; 11 Kananjalo ilizwe liya kubuza kwelinye, lithi, Bubulungisa obuhambisa ilungisa na? ngawe? Wothi, Hayi. 12 Ngelo xesha baya kuthemba abantu, bangazuzi nto; bayabulaleka, kodwa iindlela zabo aziyi kuphumelela. 13 Ke mna ndisiyekile ukukubonisa imiqondiso. kwaye ukuba uya kuthandaza kwakhona, ulila, njengangoku, kwaye uzile ukutya kwanamhlanje, uya kuva izinto ezinkulu ngakumbi. 14 Emva koko ndavuka, yaye unkwantyo olukhulu lwawutyhutyha wonke umzimba wam, yaye ingqondo yam yaphazamiseka kangangokuba yawa isiqaqa. 15 Sandibamba isithunywa esibe sithetha nam, sandithuthuzela, sandimisa ngeenyawo zam. 16 Kwathi ngobusuku besibini kweza kum uSalatiyeli, umthetheli wabantu, wathi, Ubuphi na? Yini na ukuba bube nzima ubuso bakho? 17 Akwazi na, ukuba uSirayeli uzinikele kuwe ezweni lokuthinjwa kwawo? 18 Vuka ngoko, udle isonka, ungasishiyi, njengomalusi owushiya umhlambi wakhe ezandleni zeengcuka ezikhohlakeleyo. 19 Ndathi kuye, Hamba uyemka kum, ungasondeli kum. Uyivile ke into endiyithethayo, wemka kum. 20 Ndazila ke ukudla iintsuku zasixhenxe, ndilila, ndilila, njengoko wandiwisela umthetho ngako u-Uriyeli isithunywa. 21 Kwathi, emva kweentsuku ezisixhenxe, izicamango zentliziyo yam zabuya zaba buhlungu kakhulu kum. 22 Wawubuyisa umphefumlo wam ke umoya wokuqonda, ndaqala ukuthetha noPhezukonke.
23 Wathi, Nkosi yam, nkosi, kuyo yonke imithi yehlabathi, nemithi yayo yonke, unyulele umdiliya omnye wodwa; 24 Ezizweni zonke zehlabathi uzikhethele umhadi ube mnye, nenyibiba ibe nye kuzo zonke iintyatyambo zawo. 25 Ezinzulwini zonke zolwandle uzizalise umlambo wamnye, nemizi yonke ekwakhiweyo uzingcwalisele iZiyon; 26 Ezintakeni zonke ezidaliweyo wayithiya igama lanye, nenyamakazi yonke ezitho zine, wayenza imvu yanye. 27 Ezingxoweni zonke zezizwe wazenzela abantu banye; 28 Kwaye ngoku, Owu Nkosi, kungani na ukuba ubanike esi sizwe sinye kwabaninzi? kwaye phezu kwengcambu enye ulungiselele abanye, kwaye kutheni na ukuba usasaze abantu bakho ekuphela kwabo phakathi kwabaninzi? 29 Kwaye abo bazizuzayo izithembiso zakho, kwaye bengakholelwa eminqophisweni yakho, bayinyathele phantsi. 30 Ukuba uthe wabathiya kakhulu abantu bakho, Wobohlwaya ngezakho izandla; 31 Ke kaloku ndakuba ndiwathethile la mazwi, ingelosi eyayize kum ngobusuku obungaphambili yathunyelwa kum. 32 Wathi kum, Ndiphulaphule, ndikufundise; Libekele indlebe ilizwi endilithethayo, ndongezelele kuwe. 33 Ndathi, Thetha, Nkosi yam. Wathi kum, Wena ukhwankqiswe kakhulu ngenxa kaSirayeli; uyathanda na ukuba abantu bagqithisele kuMdali wabo? 34 Ndathi ke, Hayi, Nkosi; ndithethe ndibuhlungu kakhulu; 35 Wathi kum, Aninako. Ndathi ke mna, Ngani na, Nkosi? Ndazalelwa ntoni na ke? Yini na ukuba isizalo sikama sibe singabikho kwelo ngcwaba lam, ukuze ndingayiboni imisebenzi kaYakobi, nokubulaleka okudinisayo komlibo kaSirayeli? 36 Wathi kum, Ndibale izinto ezingekezi; 37 Ndivulele iindawo ezivaliweyo, undikhuphele imimoya evaliweyo, undibonise umfanekiso welizwi; 38 Ndathi ke mna, Nkosi, nkosi, ngubani na ozaziyo ezi zinto? 39 Mna ke andilumkile; ndingathini na ke ukuzithetha ezo zinto undibuza zona? 40 Yaza yathi kum, Njengokuba ungenako ukwenza nanye kwezi zinto ndithethe ngazo, kwangokunjalo aninako ukuwufumana umgwebo wam, okanye ekugqibeleni uthando endiluthembise abantu bam. 41 Ndathi ke, Uyabona, Nkosi yam, uselesondele kwabagciniweyo kude kuse ekupheleni; 42 Yathi kum, Ndiya kuwufanisa umgwebo wam nomsesane; njengokuba kungekho ukucotha kowokugqibela, ngokunjalo akukho kungxama kokokuqala. 43 Ndaphendula ndathi, Ubungenakuzenza na ezo zidaliweyo, ezikhoyo ngoku, neziza kubakho kamsinya? Ukuze uwuvakalise kamsinyane umgwebo wakho? 44 Yandiphendula ke, yathi, Indalo ayinako ukungxama kumenzi; nehlabathi alinakuzibamba ngaxeshanye eziya kudalwa kulo. 45 Ndathi ke, Njengoko uthethileyo kumkhonzi wakho, ukuthi, Wena ubadlisa ubomi bonke, wayidlisa kwakanye into oyidalileyo, yaza indalo yathwala; ngoku yiba khona kwangoko.
46 Wathi kum, Sibuze isizalo somfazi, uthi kuye, Ukuba uthe wazala, yini na ukuba ningazalali, nabantwana emva komnye? Mcele, azale abantwana abalishumi n kwangoko. 47 Ndathi ke, Akanako; 48 Yathi kum, Ngenjenjalo ukusinika isizalo somhlaba, abo bahlwayelwayo kulo ngamaxesha abo. 49 Kuba, njengokuba umntwana engenakuzivelisa izinto zexhego, ngokunjalo mna ndilimise ihlabathi endalidalayo. 50 Ndabuza ndathi, Undinike indlela ngoku, ndothetha phambi kwakho; ngokuba uselesondele emdala; 51 Wandiphendula, wathi, Buza kumfazi ozalayo, wokuxelela. 52 Yithi kuye, Yini na ukuba abo ubazeleyo, babe njengabangaphambili, abakhulu ngoku bancinane? 53 Athi ke kuwe, Abazelwe ngamandla obutsha bamzimba mnye; 54 Zigqaleni nani ngoko, ukuba ningaphantsi ngomzimba kunabo babekho ngaphambi kwenu. 55 Kwaye banjalo abo baza emva kwenu bengaphantsi kunani, njengezidalwa eziqale ukuba ngamadala, kwaye zidlule phezu kwamandla obutsha. 56 Ndathi, Ndiya kukhunga, Nkosi, ukuba ndibabalwe nguwe, khawumbonise umkhonzi wakho lowo usivelelayo isidalwa sakho. ISAHLUKO 6 1 Wathi kum, Ekuqalekeni, ekudalweni kwehlabathi, kungekabikho imida yehlabathi, ingekavuthuthi imimoya; 2 Phambi kokuba idudume, ikhanyise, nokuba zibekwe iziseko zeparadesi, 3 Ngaphambi kokuba iintyatyambo ezintle zibonakale, okanye nokuba amandla ashukumayo emisiwe, ngaphambi kokuba inkitha engenakubalwa yezithunywa zezulu ihlanganiselwe ndawonye. 4 Kungekabe kuthiwe uphakamele imilinganiso yesibhakabhaka, kungekabi nagama imilinganiso yesibhakabhaka, Kungekashushu neetshimini eZiyon; 5 Kwaye ngaphambi kokuba le minyaka yangoku yakhangelwa, kwaye okanye nanini na izinto eziqanjiweyo zabo ngoku zijikwe, phambi kokuba batywinwe abahlanganise ukholo kwindyebo; 6 Ezi zinto ndazigqala ke; zonke zenziwe ngam ndedwa, azibangakho namnye; 7 Ndaphendula ke ndathi, Kuya kuba yintoni na ukuphela kwamaxesha? Kuya kuba nini na ukuphela kweyokuqala, nokuqalwa kokulandelayo? 8 Wathi kum, Kuthabathela kuAbraham kwesa kuIsake, ekuzalweni kwakhe uYakobi noEsawu, isandla sikaYakobi sibambe isithende sikaEsawu kuqala. 9 Kuba uEsawu lisiphelo sehlabathi, noYakobi ke ingqalo yalo. 10 Isandla somntu siphakathi kwesithende nesandla; wubuze umbuzo othi, Ezra, musa ukubuza. 11 Ndaphendula ke ndathi, Nkosi yam, ukuba ndibabalwe nguwe, 12 Khawusibonise umkhonzi wakho isiphelo semiqondiso yakho, ondibonise yona phezolo.
13 Saphendula sathi kum, Suka ume ngeenyawo zakho, uve isandi esinamandla. 14 Kwaye kuya kuba ngathi yintshukumo enkulu; ke loo ndawo umi kuyo ayiyi kushukunyiswa. 15 Ngenxa yoko, xa lithethayo musani ukoyika; kuba ilizwi lelesiphelo, nesiseko sehlabathi siyaqonda. 16 Kwaye ngoba? ngokuba intetho yezi zinto iyanyikima, ishukuma; 17 Ke kaloku kwathi, ndakukuva oko, ndema ngeenyawo, ndaphulaphula; nalo izwi lithetha, nesandi salo singathi sisandi samanzi amaninzi. 18 Yathi, Yabonani, kuza imihla endiya kuqala ukusondela, ndivelele abo bemiyo phezu komhlaba; 19 Kwaye baya kuqala ukubabuza, ukuba bangaba yintoni na abenzakalise ngokungekho sikweni ngentswelabulungisa yabo, naxa imbandezelo yeZiyon iya kuzaliseka; 20 Xa lithe lagqitywa ihlabathi eliya kuthi shwaka, ndiya kuyibonisa le miqondiso: ziya kuvulwa iincwadi phambi kwesibhakabhaka, babone bonke kunye; 21 Oonyana abamnyaka mnye baya kuthetha ngezwi labo, abafazi abamithiyo bazale abantwana abaxhwalekileyo beenyanga ezintathu okanye ezine, kwaye baya kuphila baphinde bavuke. 22 Kuya kuvela ngequbuliso iindawo ezihlwayelweyo, zibe nguvimba ozala ngesiquphe; 23 Liya kuvakala ixilongo isandi esithi, bakuva bonke abantu, boyike ngesiquphe. 24 Ngelo xesha izihlobo ziya kulwa enye kwenye njengeentshaba, kwaye umhlaba uya kunkwantya nabemi bawo, imithombo yemithombo iya kuma, kwaye ngeeyure ezintathu ayiyi kubaleka. 25 Bonke abathe basala kuzo zonke ezi zinto ndizithethileyo kuwe, baya kusinda, balubone usindiso lwam, nesiphelo sehlabathi lakho. 26 Kwaye amadoda amkelekileyo aya kukubona, abo bangakuvanga kufa kwasekuzalweni kwabo; 27 Kuba ububi buya kucinywa, nenkohliso buya kucinywa. 28 Ke lona ukholo, luya kuchuma, ukonakala kuya koyiswa, kwaye inyaniso, ekudala ingenasiqhamo, iya kubhengezwa. 29 Kwaye xa wayethetha nam 10Yabona, ndabheka kancinane kulo mntu ndimi phambi kwakhe. 30 Kwaye la mazwi wawathetha kum; Ndize kukubonisa ixesha lobusuku obuzayo. 31 Ukuba uthe waphinda wathandaza, wabuya wazila ukudla iintsuku ezisixhenxe, ndokuxelela izinto ezinkulu kunale mini ndizivileyo; 32 Ngokuba izwi lakho liviwe zOsenyangweni; Ngokuba uSomandla ububonile ubulungisa bakho, Wabubona ubunyulu bakho, obe nabo kwasebuncinaneni bakho. 33 Ngenxa yoko undithumile ukuba ndikubonise zonke ezi zinto, nokuba ndithi kuwe, Yomelela, ungoyiki. 34 musani ukukungxamela amaxesha adluleyo, nicinga izinto ezililize, ukuze ningangxami kumaxesha amva. 35 Kwathi emveni koko, ndalila kwakhona, ndazila ukudla iintsuku zasixhenxe, kwangokunjalo, ukuze ndizizalise iiveki ezintathu abendixelele zona.
36 Ngobusuku besibhozo yabuya yakhathazeka intliziyo yam phakathi kwam, ndaza ndathetha phambi koPhezukonke. 37 Kuba umoya wam wavutha umlilo kakhulu, nomphefumlo wam ububandezelekile. 38 Ndaza ndathi, Owu Nkosi, wathetha wena kwasekuqalekeni kwendalo, kwanamhla wokuqala, waza wenjenje ukuthetha; Makwenziwe izulu nomhlaba; ilizwi lakho libe ligqibelele; 39 Waza ngoko umoya, nobumnyama noxolo lwabakho macala onke; sasingekabikho isandi selizwi lomntu. 40 Emva koko uyalele ukhanyiso olulungileyo ukuba luphume ebuncwaneni bakho, ukuze umsebenzi wakho ube nokubonakala. 41 Ngomhla wesibini wawenza umoya wesibhakabhaka, wawuwisela umthetho ukuba ucande, wahlula amanzi, ukuze kunyuke elinye icala, elinye lihlale ngaphantsi. 42 Ngomhla wesithathu wawisa umthetho, ukuba amanzi ahlanganiselwe kwisahlulo sesixhenxe sehlabathi; izahlulo ezintandathu womisile, uzigcine, ukuze ezo zityeliweyo zivela kuThixo, zikukhonze. 43 Ngokuba ekuphumeni kwelizwi lakho, wenziwa wasebenza. 44 Kuba kwaoko kwabakho isiqhamo esikhulu, esingenakubalwa, neentlobo ngeentlobo zeentlobo-ntlobo zezityalo eziyolisa isongo, neentyantyambo ezimibalabala, nevumba elimnandi; kwaba ke ngomhla wesithathu. 45 Ngomhla wesine wawisa umthetho wokuba ilanga likhanye, inyanga ikhanyise, zilungelelane iinkwenkwezi; 46 Wabawisela umthetho wokuba bakhonze umntu oza kwenziwa. 47 Ngomhla wesihlanu wathi kwisahlulo sesixhenxe, apho ahlanganisene khona amanzi, ukuba kuphume izinto eziphilileyo, iintaka neentlanzi; kwaba njalo. 48 Ngokuba amanzi angathethiyo, nangenabomi, ngomlomo kaThixo, ZiQalo 25:12 Ziyibulele imisebenzi yakho ebalulekileyo, zonke iintlanga. 49 Wazimisa ke izinto eziphilileyo zambini; 50 Baza bahlula, bathi okwesixhenxe, apho amanzi ahlanganisene khona, ababanga nakuwabamba omabini. 51 UEnoki wamnika esinye isahlulo, esomileyo ngosuku lwesithathu, ukuba ahlale phezu kwewaka leenduli; 52 Ke iLeviyatan wayinika isahlulo sesixhenxe esingumanzi; yaye umgcine ukuba aqwengwe nguye, nokuba nini na. 53 Ngosuku lwesithandathu wawuwisela umthetho umhlaba, ukuba liphume phambi kwakho amarhamncwa, neenkomo, nezinambuzane. 54 Emveni ke kwabo, noAdam, owamenza inkosi yazo zonke izidalwa zakho; siphuma kuye sonke, nabantu obanyulileyo. 55 Zonke ezi zinto ndizithethile phambi kwakho, Nkosi, ngenxa yokuba ulenze ihlabathi ngenxa yethu 56 Ke bona abanye abantu, abaphuma kuAdam, uthe bona abanto, bafana namathe, ubuninzi babo wayifanisa nethontsi eliwa emkhombeni. 57 Ke ngoku, Owu Nkosi, yabona, ezi ntlanga, zingabangeli nto, ziqalisile ukwenza iinkosi phezu kwethu, nokusiqwenga.
58 Kodwa thina bantu bakho, owababiza ngokuba ngamazibulo akho, okuphela kwamzeleyo, nesithandwa sakho esishushu, sinikelwe ezandleni zabo. 59 Ukuba ihlabathi ngoku lenziwe ngenxa yethu, kungani na ukuba singabi nalifa kunye nehlabathi? koda kube nini na? ISAHLUKO 7 1 Ndaza ke ndakugqiba ukuthetha la mazwi, kwathunyelwa kum isithunywa esasithunyelwe kum ngobusuku obudlulileyo. 2 Yathi kum, Vuka, Ezra, uve amazwi endize kuwathetha kuwe. 3 Ndathi, Thetha, Thixo wam. Wathi kum, Ulwandle lusendaweni ebanzi ngeenxa zombini, ukuze lube nzulu, lube nzulu; 4 Ke isango belimxinwa, linjengomlambo; 5 Ngubani na ke ongangena elwandle, alubone, alulawule? Ukuba ubengacandanga endaweni emxinwa, angathini na ukungena endaweni yobubanzi? 6 Kukho nenye into; Umzi wakhiwa, ubekwe entsimini ebanzi, uzele zizinto zonke ezilungileyo; 7 Icango lawo limxinwa, libekwe endaweni eyingozi, ngathi kumlilo ekunene, nasekhohlo amanzi anzongonzongo; 8 yaba nye indlela phakathi kwazo zombini, phakathi komlilo namanzi, incinane, ukuba ingabi nakuhamba akukho mntu uya khona kwaoko. 9 Ukuba lo mzi uthe ngoku wawunikwe umntu ukuba ube lilifa, akagqithanga phambi kwawo, wothini na ukulizuza eli lifa? 10 Ndathi ke, Kunjalo, Nkosi. Wathi kum, Sikwanjalo isabelo sikaSirayeli; 11 ngokuba ihlabathi ndalenza ngenxa yabo; 12 Athi ke amasango eli hlabathi amxinwa, anesithukuthezi nayimigudu, bambalwa, bangendawo; 13 Kuba iminyango yelizwe elidala yayibanzi kwaye iqinisekile, kwaye yayizisa isiqhamo esingafiyo. 14 Ukuba ngoko abo badla ubomi babulalekela, bengangeni kwezo zinto zicuthayo, zingento, abanakuze bazizuze ezo ziqwetyelwe bona. 15 Kaloku ke yini na ukuba uzikhathaze, ungumntu owonakalisayo? Yini na ukuba ugxadazele, ungumntu nje? 16 Yini na ukuba ungayicingeli le nto izayo, ingaphezu kwekhoyo ngoku? 17 Ndaphendula ke mna ndathi, Nkosi, mlawuli, umisele umthetho wakho ukuba amalungisa azidle ilifa ezo zinto, ke bona abangahloneli Thixo batshabalale. 18 Ke lona ilungisa liyabandezeleka, linethemba elikhulu; 19 Kwaye wathi kum. Akukho mgwebi mkhulu kunoThixo, akukho unengqondo ngaphezu koPhezukonke. 20 Kuba baninzi abatshabalalayo kobu bomi, ngokuba bewudelile umthetho kaThixo obekwe phambi kwabo. 21 Kuba uThixo ubawisele umthetho ongqongqo, wokuba abo bafikayo benze ntoni na, ukuze baphile, njengoko bezayo, noko bamelwe kukuzigcina, ukuze baphephe isohlwayo.
22 Nangona kunjalo abazange bamthobele; Wathetha ngaye, wacinga izinto ezililize; 23 Kwaye bazikhohlisa ngezenzo zabo ezikhohlakeleyo; wathi kOsenyangweni, akakho; Wayengazazi iindlela zakhe; 24 Ke umyalelo wakhe bawucekisile, bayikhanyela iminqophiso yakhe; abathembekanga emimiselweni yakhe, abazenzanga izenzo zakhe. 25 Ngako oko, Ezra, kuba okunene bayinto engento, ukanti aba bazalayo baya kuzala. 26 Qaphelani, ilixa liya kufika, lokuba le miqondiso ndinixelele yona iya kwenzeka, kwaye umtshakazi uya kubonakala, kwaye yena esiza ngaphambili uya kubonwa, lowo ngoku ususiweyo emhlabeni. 27 Kwaye nabani na osindisiweyo ebubini obuxeliweyo uya kuyibona imimangaliso yam. 28 Kuba unyana wam uYesu uya kutyhilwa kunye nabo banaye, kwaye abo basalayo baya kuvuya phakathi kwamakhulu amane eminyaka. 29 Emveni kwale minyaka, uya kufa unyana wam uKristu, nabo bonke abadla ubomi; 30 liya kujika ihlabathi libe lelokuthula, imihla esixhenxe, njengemigwebo yangaphambili, kungasali mntu. 31 Kwaya kuthi emveni kweentsuku ezisixhenxe, ihlabathi lingekavuki, libuye livuswe, elifa lonakeleyo. 32 Kwaye umhlaba uya kubuyisela abo balele kuwo, kwaye ngokunjalo uthuli luya kubakhulula abo bahlala eluxolweni, kwaye iindawo ezifihlakeleyo ziya kuyikhulula loo miphefumlo eyayinikelwe kubo. 33 Kwaye Osenyangweni uya kubonakala phezu kwesihlalo sokugweba, kwaye imbandezelo iya kudlula, kwaye ukunyamezela kuya kuba nesiphelo. 34 Kodwa ngumgwebo kuphela oya kuhlala, inyaniso iya kuma, kwaye ukholo luya komelela; 35 Kwaye umsebenzi uya kulandela, kwaye umvuzo uya kubonakaliswa, kwaye izenzo ezilungileyo ziya kuba namandla, kwaye izenzo ezikhohlakeleyo aziyi kulawula. 36 Ndathi ke, Wawathandazela uAbraham amaSodom kuqala, noMoses wawathandazela oobawo abo bona entlango; 37 Kwaye uYesu emva kwakhe kumaSirayeli ngexesha lika-Akan. 38 ooSamuweli noDavide ke babatshabalalisa; uSolomon waba ngabo basondela engcweleni. 39 noElias kwaba bafumene imvula; nabafileyo, ukuze baphile; 40 noHezekiya ebantwini ngexesha likaSaneribhe, waba baninzi kwabaninzi. 41 Ngoku ke ngoku, ukuba bukhulile ubugqwetha, nobubi busanda, namalungisa athandazela abangahloneli Thixo; 42 Sandiphendula sathi, Obu bomi abuyisosiphelo, apho kukho uzuko olukhulu; ke ngoko bathandazele ababuthathaka. 43 Ke yona imini yomgwebo iya kuba kukuphela kweli xesha, isiqalo sokungabhubhi, kufike ukonakala, okudluleyo; 44 Kuphele kona ukuswela, kunqunyulwe ubuhenyu, bukhulile ubulungisa, kuhlume inyaniso.
45 Akuyi kuba nako ukumsindisa lowo utshabalalayo, akukho namnye unako ukumcudisa lowo uphumeleleyo. 46 Ndaphendula ndaza ndathi, Lilizwi lam elokuqala nelokugqibela eli, elithi, ngekuba bekulunge kanye, ukuba ihlabathi lingàlinikwa uAdam; 47 Kuba kunalungelo lini na ngoku ukuhlala elubandezelweni, lokudla ubomi ngokuphila ubomi obungenasiphelo? 48 Wena Adam, wenze ntoni na? kuba noko, awonayo, awawedwa; sisuka thina sonke siphuma kuwe. 49 Kuba kuya kusinceda ngantoni na kuthi, ukuba sithenjiswe ixesha lokungafi? Senze imisebenzi yokufa na? 50 Kwaye sithenjiswe ithemba lanaphakade, ngeli lixa thina singabona bakhohlakeleyo senziwe into engento? 51 Kwaye nokokuba kugcinelwe thina iindawo zokuhlala ezinempilo nokhuseleko, ngeli lixa besiphila ngokukhohlakeleyo? 52 Kwaye uzuko lOsenyangweni lugcinelwe ukukhusela abo baphila ubomi obulumkileyo, ngelixa thina sihambe kwezona ndlela zikhohlakeleyo zazo zonke? 53 Kwaye kuya kuboniswa iparadesi, esiqhamo sayo sihlala sihleli, apho kukho ukhuseleko namayeza, ekubeni singayi kungena kuyo? 54 (Kuba sihambe ezindaweni ezimbi.) 55 Kwaye ubuso babenzi bobubi buya kukhanya ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi, kanti ubuso bethu buya kuba mnyama kunobumnyama? 56 Kuba oko besidla ubomi, sisenza ubugwenxa, singagqibanga ukuba singaqali umva ubunzima ngenxa yabo; 57 Sandiphendula, sathi, Nantsi imeko yedabi, aya kulwa ngalo umntu ozelwe ehlabathini; 58 ukuze, ukuba uthe woyisa, uya kuva ubuva, njengoko ubutshilo; kodwa ukuba uthe wazuza uloyiso, uya kukwamkela oko ndikuthethayo. 59 Kuba bubo obu ubomi, awathetha ngabo uMoses ebantwini oko ebesadla ubomi, esithi, Zinyulele ubomi, uphile. 60 Noko ke abakholwanga nguye, kwanabaprofeti abasemva kwakhe, kwanam bathethayo kubo; 61 Ukuze kungabikho ntlungu injalo ekutshatyalalisweni kwabo, njengoko kuya kubakho uvuyo phezu kwabo beyiseke elusindisweni. 62 Ndaphendula ngoko ndathi, Ndiyazi, Nkosi, ukuba Osenyangweni ubizwa ngokuba unenceba, ngokuba unenceba kwabangekafiki ehlabathini. 63 Kwanabo babuyelayo emyalelweni wakhe; 64 Kwaye nokuba unomonde, kwaye unyamezela ixesha elide abo bonayo, njengezidalwa zakhe; 65 Kwaye nokuba unesisa, kuba ukulungele ukupha apho kuyimfuneko; 66 Kwaye nokokuba unenceba enkulu, kuba uzandisa ngakumbi nangakumbi imfesane kwabo bakhoyo, nabo badluleyo, kwanakwabo bazayo. 67 Kuba ukuba akayi kuzandisa iinceba zakhe, ihlabathi aliyi kuqhubeka kunye nabo badla ilifa kulo. 68 Uxolele; Kuba, ukuba ebengenzanga ngokwenceba yakhe, ukuze bakhululeke kubo abenza ubugwenxa, isahlulo seshumi samawaka abantu besingayi kuphila.
69 Egwebayo ke, ukuba akabaxoleli abo baphilisiweyo ngelizwi lakhe, azikhuphe iimbambaniso ezininzi; 70 Kufuneka kubekho ithutyana eliseleyo elimbalwa kwisihlwele esingenakubalwa. ISAHLUKO 8 1 Saza sandiphendula sathi, Osenyangweni ulenzele abaninzi eli hlabathi, kanti nelo liza kubakho bambalwa. 2 Ndiya kukuxelela umzekeliso, Ezra; Xa sukuba uwubuza umhlaba, wothi kuwe, Mninzi unyibilikisi, ekwenziwa ngawo izitya zodongwe; ke wona uthuli oluphuma kulo igolide; 3 Baninzi abadaliweyo, kodwa bambalwa abaya kusindiswa. 4 Ndaphendula ndathi, Gqitha, mphefumlo wam, ukuqonda, budle ubulumko. 5 Kuba uvumelene ngokubeka indlebe, wathanda ukuprofeta; 6 Owu Nkosi, ukuba akumvumeli umkhonzi wakho ukuba athandaze phambi kwakho, kwaye wena usinike imbewu entliziyweni yethu, nenkcubeko engqondweni yethu, ukuze sivelise isiqhamo sayo; Angathini na ukuba umntu owonakeleyo, ukuba aphile endaweni yendoda? 7 Ngokuba nguwe wedwa, simnye sonke sisebenza ngezandla zakho, njengoko utshoyo. 8 Kuba xa umzimba ùthe ùthi wenziwe wema esizalweni sonina, waza wawunikela amalungu, indalo yakho igcinwe emlilweni nasemanzini, kuthi ke iinyanga ezisithoba umsebenzi wakho uphele, indalo yakho leyo idalelweyo kuye. 9 Ke yona igcinayo, igciniwe, iya kugcinelwa kokubini; kwathi ke lakufika ixesha, isizalo sigcinelwe oko, sivelise ezihlulileyo kuyo. 10 Kuba wawisa umthetho emalungwini abo, oko kukuthi, emabeleni, mawanikwe amasi, oko kukuthi, isiqhamo samabele; 11 ukuze into eyiliweyo yondliwe okwexeshana, ude uyibeke ngokwenceba yakho. 12 Wakhulisa ngobulungisa bakho, wawukhulisela ngomyalelo wakho, wawulungisa ngobulungisa bakho. 13 Kwaye uya kuyisika njengesidalwa sakho, kwaye uyidlise njengomsebenzi wakho. 14 Ukuba ke ngoko uthe wamtshabalalisa lowo wenziwa wasebenza nzima, kuyinto elula ukuba amiswe ngomthetho wakho, ukuze loo nto yenziweyo igcinwe. 15 Kaloku ke, Nkosi yam, ndiya kuthetha; ukubamba umntu ngokubanzi, wazi kakuhle; ngokubhekisele kubantu bakho, endizohlwaya ngenxa yabo; 16 ngenxa yelifa lakho, endilililelayo ngenxa yalo; nakuSirayeli endibandezelekileyo ngenxa yakhe; nangenxa kaYakobi, endicinezelekileyo ngenxa yakhe; 17 Ngako oko ndiya kuqala ndithandazele mna naphambi kwakho phambi kwakho; 18 Ke mna ndivile ukukhawuleza komgwebi lowo uzayo. 19 Liveni ke ilizwi lam, niwaqonde amazwi am, ndithethe phambi kwakho. Yiyo le ingqalo yamazwi kaEsdras, ngaphambi kokuba anyuswe uncedo,
20 Owu Nkosi, wena uhleli ephakadeni obona ngaphezu kwezinto ezisemazulwini nasesibhakabhakeni; 21 Otrone yakhe ayinakulinganiswa nanto; obuqaqawuli bungenakuqondwa; emi phambi kwayo imikhosi yezithunywa zezulu ingcangcazela; 22 abankonzo yabo ihambelana nomoya nomlilo; abalizwi liyinyaniso, namazwi angawo; omthetho unamandla, nommiselo wuyoyikeka; 23 Owomisa amanzi anzongonzongo, azinyibilikise iintaba; leyo ingqinayo inyaniso; 24 Wuve umthandazo womkhonzi wakho, Ubekele indlebe ukutarhuzisa komphefumlo wakho. 25 Ngokuba ndisadla ubomi, ndisathetha, ndibe nengqiqo, ndiphendule. 26 Musa ukukhangela izono zabantu bakho; kodwa ujonge abo bakukhonza ngenyaniso. 27 Musa ukubheka ebugwenxeni beentlanga; 28 Musa ukubacingela abo bahamba benyhwalaza phambi kwakho; 29 Musa ukubatshabalalisa abahleli njengeenkomo; kodwa ndikhangele kwabo bawufundisa ngokucacileyo umthetho wakho. 30 Musa ukubacaphukela abo kuthiwa babi ngaphezu kweenkomo; bathande abakholosa ngamaxesha onke ngobulungisa nozuko lwakho. 31 Kuba thina noobawo bethu sodwa sisifo esinjalo; 32 Kuba, ukuba unqwenela ukuba nenceba kuthi, wothiwa unenceba kuthi, thina bangenamisebenzi yabulungisa. 33 Kuba amalungisa anemisebenzi emininzi emihle egcinwe nguwe, aya kwamkela ngokwawo umvuzo. 34 Ngokuba uyintoni na umntu, ukuba usuke ube nomsindo ngaye? Siyintoni na isizukulwana esonakalisayo, ukuba ube krakra kuso? 35 Kuba okunene akukho namnye kwabazelweyo, ukuba wenze ububi; phakathi kwabathembekileyo akukho namnye ungenzanga gwenxa. 36 Kuba koku, Owu Nkosi, ubulungisa bakho nokulunga kwakho buya kubhengezwa, ukuba unenceba kwabo bangenantembelo kwimisebenzi elungileyo. 37 Sandiphendula ke, sathi, Uthethe walungisa, kwaye kuya kwenzeka ngokwamazwi akho. 38 Kuba okunene andiyi kucinga similo sabanye abo bona ngaphambi kokufa, ngaphambi komgwebo, ngaphambi kwentshabalalo; 39 Ke mna ndiya kugcoba ngesimilo samalungisa, ndikhumbule nokuhamba kwawo, nosindiso, nomvuzo aya kuba nawo. 40 Njengoko ndithethileyo ngoku, kuya kuba njalo. 41 Kuba, njengokuba umlimi wahlwayela imbewu eninzi emhlabeni, watyala imithi emininzi, into ehlwayelwe ilungileyo ngexesha layo ayifiki, kananjalo konke okutyelweyo akuncothuli, kwaba njalo nakwabo bahlwayelweyo. emhlabeni; abayi kusindiswa bonke. 42 Ndaphendula ngoko ndathi, Ukuba ndibabalwe, mandithethe. 43 kunjengembewu yomlimi itshabalalayo, ukuba ayithanga ivele, ize ingayamkeli imvula yakho ngexesha elililo; nokuba kuthe kwakho imvula enkulu, yayonakalisa;
44 Kwangokunjalo naye uyatshabalala umntu oyimbumba ngezandla zakho, lowo kuthiwe ungumfanekiselo wakho, ngokuba ufana naye, owenze zonke izinto ngenxa yakhe, wamfanekisa nembewu yomlimi. 45 Musa ukuba noburhalarhume kuthi; yeka nenceba abantu bakho, Unemfesane ngenxa yelifa lakho; ngokuba unenceba kwindalo yakho. 46 Sandiphendula ke sathi, Izinto eziya kwenzeka ngoku, neziza kubakho kweziya kubakho. 47 Kuba ukufutshane kuwe, ukuba ube nako ukuyithanda indalo yam ngaphezu kwam; 48 Nakule nto ungabalulekanga kOsenyangweni; 49 ngokuthi wazithoba, njengoko bekufanelekile kuwe, awazigweba ukuba ufanelwe kuzukiswa kakhulu phakathi kwamalungisa. 50 Kuba zininzi iintsizi ezinkulu eziya kwenziwa kubo abaya kuthi ngexesha lamva behleli ehlabathini, ngenxa yokuba behambe ngekratshi elikhulu. 51 Kodwa ziqondele ngokwakho, ufune uzuko lwabanjengawe. 52 Kuba kuni iparadesi ivuliwe, umthi wobomi utyaliwe, ixesha elizayo lilungisiwe, intabalala ilungisiwe, isixeko siyakhiwa, kwaye ukuphumla kuvunyelwe, ewe, ukulunga okugqibeleleyo nobulumko. 53 Ingcambu yobubi itywiniwe kuni, ubuthathaka nenundu lifihliwe kuni, nokonakala kubalekele esihogweni ukuze kulityalwe. 54 Zigqithile iintlungu, aze ubutyebi obungafiyo bubonakale. 55 Ke ngoko ungabi sabuza mibuzo ngokunxulumene nesihlwele sabo batshabalalayo. 56 56 Kuba bathi, bekhululekile, bamgiba Osenyangweni, bawugxeka umyalelo wakhe, bazishiya iindlela zakhe. 57 Babunyhashele phantsi ubulungisa bakhe, 58 Batsho entliziyweni yabo, ukuba akukho Thixo; ewe, kwaye besazi ukuba kufuneka bafe. 59 Kuba njengokuba izinto zangaphambili ziya kunamkela, kwangokunjalo balungiselwe ukunxanwa nentlungu; 60 Ke zona idaliweyo banazo bangcolisa igama lalowo wabenzayo, kwaye babengenambulelo kulowo wayebalungiselele ubomi. 61 Ke ngoko umgwebo wam ukufuphi. 62 Ezi zinto andizibonisanga kubo bonke abantu; Ndaphendula ke ndathi. 63 Khawubone, Nkosi, undibonisile ngoku, inkitha yemimangaliso, oya kuqala ukuyenza ngamaxesha okugqibela; ISAHLUKO SE-9 1 Sandiphendula ke sathi, Lilinganise kakuhle ixesha ngokwalo; 2 Uya kwandula ke uqonde, ukuba kusengelo xesha linye, apho Osenyangweni eya kuqalisa ukuhambela ihlabathi alenzileyo. 3 Ngako oko, xa zithe zabonakala iinyikima zomhlaba neziphithiphithi zabantu ehlabathini;
4 uya kwandula ukuqonda, ukuba Osenyangweni wathetha ezo zinto, kususela kwimihla ephambi kwakho, kwasekuqalekeni. 5 Kuba kwanjengokuba konke okwenzekayo ehlabathini kunesiqalo nesiphelo, nesiphelo siyabonakala; 6 Kwangokunjalo ke namaxesha bOsenyangweni aneziqalelo ezicacileyo, ezingummangaliso nezibalulekileyo, eziphela ngemiqondiso, nemiqondiso. 7 Kwaye wonke umntu oya kusindiswa uya kuba nako ukusinda ngayo imisebenzi yakhe, nangokholo enakholwa ngalo. 8 Ndiya kukhuselwa kwiingozi ezixeliweyo, kwaye ndiya kulubona usindiso lwam ezweni lam, naphakathi kwemida yam; kuba ndibangcwalisele bona kwasekuqalekeni. 9 Baya kuba lusizi ngenxa yoko bazihlambeleyo iindlela zam ngoku; 10 Kuba abo bazuzayo ebomini, abandazi; 11 Kwaye abo bawucekisayo umthetho wam, ngeli lixa babesenenkululeko, kwaye, xa yayingekafiki indawo yenguquko kubo, abazange bawuqonde, kodwa bawudelile; 12 Okukwanjalo kumele kukwazi emva kokufa ngeentlungu. 13 Ngoko ke musa ukuthandabuza ukuba baya kohlwaywa nini na abangahloneli Thixo; 14 Ndaphendula ke ndathi, 15 Sendixele kade, nangoku ndisathetha, ndiya kuthetha, ndithi nakwasemva kokuba, baninzi abatshabalalayo kunabo baya kusindiswa; 16 Njengelaza lilikhulu kunethontsi; 17 Sandiphendula, sathi, Njengokuba injalo intsimi, ikwanjalo nembewu; njengoko zinjalo iintyatyambo, injalo nemibala; njengoko unjalo umsebénzi, unjalo ke umsebenzi; kwanjengoko anjalo umlimi, unjalo ukulima kwakhe; kuba belixesha lehlabathi. 18 Kwaye ngoku xa ndandililungisa ihlabathi, elalingekadalwa, nkqu ukuze bahlale kulo ngoku badla ubomi, akukho bani wathetha ngokuchasene nam. 19 Kuba ngelo xesha babelulamela abantu bonke; 20 Ndaligqala ihlabathi, nantso ingozi ingekho, ngenxa yecebo elingene kulo. 21 Ndabona, ndasibeka kakhulu, ndasindela isidiliya esihlokweni, nesityalo sabantu abaninzi. 22 Mayitshabalale ngoko ingxokolo ezelwe ililize; mazigcinwe iidiliya zam, nesityalo sam; ngokuba ndiyenze igqibelele ngokubulaleka okukhulu. 23 Noko ke, ukuba nithe nayeka iintsuku ezisixhenxe, anizileli ngazo; 24 Kodwa yiyani entsimini yeentyatyambo, engakhiwanga ndlu; musa ukungcamla nyama, ungaseli wayini, kodwa yidla iintyatyambo zodwa;) 25 Nithandaze ngamaxesha onke kwesenyangweni, ndoza ndithethe nani. 26 Ndahamba ke ndaya entsimini ekuthiwa yiArdati, njengoko wandiwisela umthetho ngako; ndahlala phantsi ke phakathi kweentyatyambo, ndayidla imifuno yasendle, ndahlutha nenyama yazo. 27 Ndahlala engceni emva kweentsuku ezisixhenxe; 28 Ndawuvula umlomo wam, ndathetha kOsenyangweni, ndathi,
29 Wena, Nkosi yam, wazibonakalisayo kuthi, waboniswa koobawo entlango, endaweni enganyathelwanga mntu, endaweni ebaleleyo, ekuphumeni kwabo eYiputa. 30 wathi, Ndiphulaphule, Sirayeli; wabekeleni indlebe amazwi am, nzala kaYakobi. 31 Ngokuba, yabonani, ndihlwayela kuni umyalelo wam, othwala isiqhamo kuni, nizukiswe ngawo ngonaphakade. 32 Ke oobawo, bona bawamkelayo umthetho, abawugcinanga, abawugcina namasiko akho; 33 Ke bona abalwamkelayo batshabalala, ngokuba bengazigcinanga izinto ezihlwayelweyo kubo. 34 Yabonani, kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukuba umhlaba uthe wahlwayelwa, nokuba yinqanawa, nokuba yiyiphi na, nokuba yiyiphi na, nokuba yiyiphi na, into ekuhlwayelwa kuyo, nokuba yiyiphi na into eselwayo; 35 Loo nto ihlwayelweyo, nokuba iphoswe kuyo, nokuba yamkelwe, iyatshabalala; ayihlali kuthi; 36 Kuba thina bawamkeleyo umthetho, sitshabalala ngenxa yesono; 37 Noko ke wona umthetho awutshabalali, uhlala uhleli amandla akhe. 38 Ke kaloku, ndakuzithetha ezi zinto entliziyweni yam, ndibheke ngasemva ngamehlo am, ndabona inkazana ngasekunene, yabona, yenza isijwili, ilila ngezwi elikhulu, ebuhlungu kakhulu entliziyweni. zazikrazulwa iingubo, enothuthu entloko. 39 Ndaziyeka ke izicamango zam endandinazo, ndabuyela kuye; 40 Wathi kuye, Ulilelani na? Yini na ukuba ube buhlungu kangaka engqondweni yakho? 41 Yathi kum, Nkosi, ndiyeke, ndenze isijwili, ndongeze intlungu yam; 42 Ndathi kuye, Uhlelwe yintoni na? Ndixelele. 43 Wathi kum, Mna umkhonzi wakho bendiludlolo, ndingenamntwana, nakuba bendinendoda iminyaka emashumi mathathu. 44 Kwaye loo minyaka imashumi mathathu andenzanga nto yimbi imini nobusuku, nangeyure nganye, kodwa ndenza owam, umthandazo koPhezukonke. 45Emva kweminyaka emashumi mathathu, uThixo wandiva umkhonzazana wakho, wabubona ububi bam, wabubona ububi bam, wandinika unyana; ndamvuyisa kakhulu, wenjenjalo nomyeni wam, nabo bonke abamelwane bam; uSomandla. 46 Ndamondla ngobulaleko olukhulu. 47 Ke kaloku, yakukhula, yaza kufika ilixa lokuba nomfazi, ndenza itheko. ISAHLUKO SE-10 1 Kwathi, xa unyana wam wangena egumbini lakhe lomtshato, wawa, wafa. 2 Sazibhukuqa ke izibane sonke, besuka bonke abamelwane bam, beza kundithuthuzela; ndaphumla, kwada kwaba lusuku lwesibini ebusuku. 3 Kwathi, bakuba bephelile ukundithuthuzela, ndizole; Ndavuka ebusuku, ndabaleka, ndaya kulo mhlaba, njengoko ubona ngako. 4 Ngoku ke mna andizimisele kubuyela kuwo umzi;
5 Ndaziyeka ke izicamango ebendinazo, ndathetha kuye ndinomsindo, ndathi, 6 mfazindinindini ungenangqiqo, akukuboni na ukulila kwethu? Kwenzeka ntoni na kuthi? 7 Utheni na, iZiyon unyoko ezele bubunzima, ethobekile, enesingqala esikrakra? 8 Ngoku ke, ekubeni sonke sisenza isijwili, sibuhlungu, kuba sonke sisentlungwini, yintoni na wena ukrakra ngenxa yonyana omnye? 9 Kuba bubuze umhlaba, uya kukuxelela, ukuba ngawo omelwe kukuzila ngenxa yokuwa kwabaninzi abakhule phezu kwawo. 10 Ngokuba baphume kuyo bonke kwasekuqalekeni; baya kuphuma kuyo bonke abanye; yabona, bahamba phantse bonke besiya entshabalalweni; 11 Ngubani na ke ongenza isijwili esingaphezu kwayo, elahlekelwe sisininzi esingaka? Asinguwe ke, lusizi, kodwa? 12 Ukuba uthe kum, Isijwili sam asinjengesehlabathini, ngenxa yokuba ndidane isiqhamo sesizalo sam, endasikhuphayo ndinanimba, ndazala ndinesingqala; 13 Ke lona ihlabathi alibanga njalo; 14 Ndithi ke kuwe, Njengokuba uzele ngokubulaleka kwakho; kwangokunjalo nomhlaba wavelisa isiqhamo sawo, oko kukuthi, umntu kwasekuqalekeni, kuye uMenzi wawo. 15 Ngoku ke zigcine, iintlungu zakho uzigcine, ube nentliziyo echwayithileyo ngenxa yaloo nto ikuhleleyo. 16 Kuba xa uthe wakuvuma umiselo lukaThixo lokuba lilungisa, uya kumamkela kokubini unyana wakho, kwaye uya kunconywa phakathi kwabafazi. 17 Hamba uye kuwo umzi endodeni yakho. 18 Wathi kum, Andiyi kuyenza loo nto; andiyi kungena kuwo umzi, ndiya kufela apha. 19 Ndaphinda ndathetha naye, ndathi, 20 Musa ukuba njalo; ngam: zingaphi iimbandezelo zaseZiyon? nithuthuzeleke ngenxa yentlungu yeYerusalem. 21 Uyabona ukuba ingcwele yethu ichithakele, isibingelelo sethu sidiliziwe, itempile yethu idiliziwe; 22 Ubekwe emhlabeni umrhubhe wethu, zivathulwe iingoma zethu, iphelile imihlali yethu, kucinyiwe isibane sethu, ityeya yomnqophiso wethu ibhuqiwe, inqambi iingcwele zethu, negama elithe saa kulo. Badanile oonyana bethu, batshisiwe ababingeleli bethu, abaLevi bethu bafuduswa, iintombi zethu zidyobhekile, abafazi bethu badlwengulwe; amadodana ethu asiwe ebukhobokeni, abantwana bethu baphangiwe, amadodana ethu enziwe ebukhobokeni, namagorha ethu awile; 23 Kwaye, eyona inkulu kuzo zonke, itywina leZiyon ngoku liphulukene nembeko yalo; ngokuba unikelwe esandleni sabasithiyileyo. 24 Zivuthulule ngoko umvandedwa wakho omkhulu, uyisuse ingxokolo yakho, ukuze uSomandla abuye abe nemfesane kuwe, Osenyangweni akuphumze, akuphumze emigudwini yakho. 25 Kwathi, ndithetha naye, yabona, ubuso bakhe bubengezela ngesiquphe, babengezela, ndamoyika, ndacinga ukuba kuyintoni na. 26 Nanko ukhala ngelizwi elikhulu, eloyikeka kakhulu;
27 Ndabona, nanko, akaba sabonakala kum umfazi lowo, kodwa umzi wakhiwe, unodonga olungqingqwa. Kwavela indawo ebanzi kwasezisekweni. Ndoyika ke, ndakhala ngezwi elikhulu, ndathi. 28 Uphi na u-Uriyeli isithunywa, seza kum ekuqaleni? ngokuba undiwisele emigibeni emininzi; 29 Kwaye njengoko ndandithetha la mazwi qaphela, weza kum, waza wandijonga. 30 Yabona, ndilele phantsi, ndinjengofileyo, ndakoyiswa ingqondo yam; wandibamba ngesandla sokunene, wandithuthuzela, wandimisa ngeenyawo zam, wathi kum. 31 Uhlelwe yintoni na? Yini na ukuba ukhathazeke? Yini na ukuba ibe nzima ingqondo yakho, neengcinga zentliziyo yakho? 32 Ndathi ke, Kungenxa yokuba undishiyile, ndenza ngokwamazwi akho, ndaya entsimini; nanku ndibonile; 33 Wathi kum, Phakama ndoda, ndikucebisa. 34 Ndathi, Thetha kum, nkosi yam; kodwa musa ukundishiya, hleze ndife litshitshiswa ithemba lam. 35 Kuba ndibonile ukuba bendingazi, ndeva endingaziyo. 36 Urhwebesheke na, umphefumlo wam usephupheni? 37 ke ngoko ndiyakubongoza ukuba umxelele umkhonzi wakho lo mbono. 38 Sandiphendula ke, sathi, Ndiphulaphule, ndikuxelele, ndikuxelele into oyivayo ukoyika; ngokuba Osenyangweni uya kukutyhilela izinto ezininzi ezifihlakeleyo. 39 Uyibonile ukuba ithe tye indlela yakho; ngokuba uhlala usenza isijwili ngabantu bakho, wenze isijwili esikhulu ngeZiyon. 40 Yiyo ke le intsingiselo yombono owubonileyo mva nje: 41 Wabona inkazana eyenza isijwili, wayithuthuzela; 42 Kungokunje awusayiboni ifanekiselo yenkazana leyo; kusuke kwabonakala kuwe umzi owakhiweyo. 43 Ke yena ekuxeleleni ukufa konyana wakhe, isicombululo eso. 44 Le nkazana uyibonileyo yiZiyon; 45 Wathi ke kuwe, uminyaka imashumi mathathu engafumani bantwana; 46 Ke kaloku, ekupheleni kweminyaka emashumi mathathu, wawakha uSolomon umzi, wanyusa amadini, wazala oludlolo unyana. 47 Ekubeni wayetshilo kuwe, ukuba wamgcina ebulaleka, yena lowo ube ngumzi waseYerusalem. 48 Uthe ke kuwe, Uthe unyana wam xa ebengena engontsini yakhe yomtshato, waqhawuka, wafa. 49 Wayibona ke imbonakalo yakhe, wathi ngenxa yokuba emenzele isijwili unyana wakhe, waqala ukumthuthuzela; 50 Kuba ngoku Osenyangweni uyakubona ukuba buhlungu kwakho ngokungenakuhanahanisa, uzeke ngentliziyo yakho yonke ngenxa yakhe, wobubonisa ubungangamsha bobungangamsha bayo, nobuhle bobuhle bayo. 51 Ndathi ke kuwe, hlala entsimini, kungakhiwanga ndlu. 52 Kuba bendisazi ukuba Osenyangweni uya kukubonisa oku. 53 Ndakuwisela umthetho wokuba uye entsimini, apho kungekho siseko sasinye isakhiwo. 54 Kuba apho athe Osenyangweni waqala ukuwubonisa umzi wakhe, akukho sakhiwo samntu siya kuma.

66 Niya kuthini na? Nothini na ukuzifihla izono zenu phambi koThixo nezithunywa zakhe? 67 Yabona, uThixo uya kugweba yena, moyikeni; 68 Kuba, yabonani, uyavutha umsindo wesihlwele esikhulu phezu kwenu; 69 Kwaye abavumayo baya kuba yintlekisa nengcikivo, banyathelwe ngeenyawo. 70 Kuba kuyo yonke indawo, nakwizixeko ezikufuphi, kuya kubakho isaqunge esikhulu kwabo bamoyikayo uYehova. 71 Baya kuba njengegeza, bangacongi; 72 Kuba baya kuchitha kwaye bazithabathe iimpahla zabo, baze babakhuphele ngaphandle kwezindlu zabo. 73 Ngoko baya kwaziwa, abanyulwa bam; banyibilike njengegolide emlilweni. 74 Yivani, owu zintanda zam, itsho iNkosi: yabonani, imihla yembandezelo isondele, kodwa ndiya kunihlangula kuyo. 75 Musani ukoyika, ningathandabuzi; ngokuba uThixo ungumkhokeli wakho, 76 Kwaye umkhokeli wabo bayigcinayo imiyalelo yam nemimiselo yam, itsho iNkosi uYehova: mazinganicinezeli izono zenu, kwaye ubugwenxa benu bungaziphakamiseli phezulu. 77 Yeha kwabo baboshwe zizono zabo, kwaye bagutyungelwe bubugwenxa babo njengentsimi evuthiswe ngamatyholo, nendlela yayo evuthiswe ngameva, kungabikho ucanda kuyo. 78 Liyekwa lihlulwe, lijulwe emlilweni, litshiswe ngalo.
