Isithunywa seNkosi

1 Khangelani ^a, ngithuma isithunywa ^b sami, esizalungisa ^c indlela phambi kwami; leNkosi eliyidingayo ^d izafika ^e masinyane ethempelini layo, ngitsho ^f isithunywa sesivumelwano elithokoza ^g ngaso; khangela siyeza ^h, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.

2 Kodwa ngubani ⁱ ongalumela usuku ^j lokuza kwaso, njalo ngubani ^k ongema ekubonakaleni kwaso? Ngoba ^l sinjengomlilo ^m womcwengi wegolide, lanjengesepa ⁿ yomwatshi. 3 Sizahlala njengomcwengi ^o lomhlambululi wesiliva, sihlambulule ^p amadodana kaLevi, siwacwenge ^q njengegolide lanjengesiliva; ukuze asondeze ^r iminikelo ngokulunga ^s eNkosini. 4 Lapho umnikelo ^t wakoJuda loweJerusalema uzakuba mnandi ^u eNkosini njengensukwini zendulo, lanjengeminyakeni ^v yakuqala.

5 Njalo ngizasondela kini ngokwahlulela; ngibe ^w ngumfakazi ^x ophangisayo ngimelene labathakathi ^y, ngimelene lezifebe ^{z
,} ^aa, ngimelene labafungi bamanga ^ab, ngimelene ^ac labacindezeli ^{ad
,} ^ae bamaholo abaqhatshiweyo, umfelokazi ^af, lentandane ^ag, labasunduzela ^ah abezizweni ^{ai
,} ^aj eceleni, njalo abangangesabiyo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla. 6 Ngoba ngiyiNkosi, kangiphenduki ^ak; ngakho ^al lina madodana kaJakobe kaliqedwa.

7 Ngitsho ^am kusukela ensukwini zaboyihlo liphambukile ezimisweni zami, kalizigcinanga. Buyelani ^an kimi, lami ngizabuyela kini, itsho iNkosi yamabandla. Kanti ^ao lithi: Sizabuyela ngani?

8 Umuntu angamphanga ^ap yini uNkulunkulu? Kanti lina lingiphangile ^aq. Kodwa ^ar lithi: Sikuphange ^as ngani? Ngokwetshumi ^at langomnikelo ^au. 9 Liqalekisiwe ngesiqalekiso ^av, ngoba lingiphangile ^aw, lesisizwe sonke. 10 Lethani ^ax konke okwetshumi esiphaleni ^ay ukuze kube lokudla ^az endlini yami. Lingihlole-ke ^ba khathesi kukho, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, uba ngingayikulivulela ^bb amawindi amazulu, ngilithululele ^bc isibusiso ^bd kuze kungabi lendawo eyaneleyo. 11 Ngizakhuza odlayo ^be ngenxa yenu, njalo kayikulichithela ^bf izithelo zomhlabathi; levini ^bg kaliyikulibozisela ensimini, itsho iNkosi yamabandla. 12 Njalo zonke ^bh izizwe zizakuthi libusisiwe, ngoba lina lizakuba yilizwe elithokozisayo ^bi, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.

Ukwehlukaniswa phakathi kwabalungileyo lababi

13 Amazwi enu ^bj abelukhuni emelene lami, itsho iNkosi. Kanti ^bk lithi: Sikhulumeni simelene lawe? 14 Lithe ^{bl
,} ^bm: Kuyize ^bn ukukhonza uNkulunkulu. Njalo kuyinzuzo ^bo bani ukuthi sigcine ^bp imfanelo ^bq yakhe, lokuthi sihambe sikwezimnyama ^br phambi kweNkosi yamabandla? 15 Khathesi-ke ^bs sithi ^bt abaziqhenyayo ^bu babusisiwe; yebo ^bv, labo ^bw abenza inkohlakalo bayakhiwa ^bx; yebo ^by balinga ^bz uNkulunkulu, baphephe.

16 Khona labo ^ca abayesabayo iNkosi bakhulumisana ^cb; njalo iNkosi yalalela, yezwa; logwalo ^cc lwesikhumbuzo lwalotshwa phambi kwayo ngabo ^cd abayesabayo iNkosi, langalabo abazindla ngebizo layo. 17 Njalo bazakuba ngabami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngalolosuku ^ce engizakwenza ^cf ngalo okuligugu ^{cg
,} ^ch kwami, njalo ngizabayekela ^ci njengendoda ^cj eyekela indodana yayo eyisebenzelayo ^ck. 18 Beselibuya libona ^cl umehluko phakathi kolungileyo lomubi, phakathi ^cm kokhonza uNkulunkulu lalowo ongamkhonziyo.
