Ukuphela sekufikile
1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2Wena-ndodana yomuntu, isho kanje iNkosi uJehova kulo izwe lakwaIsrayeli, ithi: Ukuphela! Ukuphela kufikile emagumbini omane ezwe.
3Ukuphela sekuphezu kwakho; ngiyakuthuma ukufutheka kwami, ngikwahlulele njengezindlela zakho, ngehlisele phezu kwakho zonke izinengiso zakho.
4Iso lami aliyikukuhawukela, ngingabi-nabubele; ngiyakwehlisela izindlela zakho phezu kwakho, izinengiso zakho zibephakathi kwakho; niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
5Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ingozi! Ingozi inye nje! Bheka, iyeza.
6Ukuphela kuyeza; ukuphela kuyeza, kuyakwehlela; bheka, kuyeza!
7Sekufikile kuwe ohlala ezweni; isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lusondele, olokukhathazeka, kungesilo olokujabula ezintabeni.
8Manje sengiyakuthulula masinyane ukufutheka kwami phezu kwakho, ngifeze intukuthelo yami kuwe, ngikwahlulele njengezindlela zakho, ngehlisele phezu kwakho zonke izinengiso zakho.
9Iso lami aliyikuhawukela, ngingabinabubele, ngehlisele phezu kwakho njengezindlela zakho, izinengiso zakho zibephakathi kwakho, nazi ukuthi mina-Jehova ngiyashaya.
10Bhekani usuku! Bhekani luyeza, sekuphezu kwakho; induku iyaqhakaza; ukuzidla kuyahluma.
11Ubudlova buyavuka, bube-yintonga yokubi, kungasali-muntu kubo nasesixukwini sabo, kungasali-lutho emfuyweni yabo nasebukhosini babo.
12Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lusondele; umthengi makangathokozi, nomthengisi makangalili, ngokuba ukufutheka kuphezu kwaso sonke isixuku sabo.
13Ngokuba umthengisi akayikubuyela kokuthengisiweyo, nakuba esekhona phakathi kwabaphilayo, ngokuba umbono wesixuku sonke awuyikubuya, futhi akuyikubakho-muntu ongabambelela ekuphileni ngenxa yobubi bakhe.
14Babethile icilongo, balungisile konke, kepha akakho ophuma impi, ngokuba ukufutheka kwami kuphezu kwaso sonke isixuku sabo.
15Yinkemba ngaphandle, yisifo nendlala ngaphakathi; osensimini uyakufa ngenkemba, osemzini uyakuqedwa yindlala nesifo.
16Abaphunyukileyo babo bayakuphunyuka, babe-sezintabeni njengamajuba asezigodini, bakhale bonke, kube-yilowo nalowo ngezono zakhe.
17Zonke izandla ziyakudangala, nawo onke amadolo abe-buthakathaka njengamanzi.
18Bayakubhinca izindwangu zamasaka, uvalo lubasibekele, amahloni abesebusweni bonke, nobumpandla kuwo onke amakhanda abo.
19Bayakuphonsa isiliva labo ezitaladini, igolide labo libe-yinto engcolileyo, isiliva labo negolide labo kungabi-namandla okubophula ngosuku lwentukuthelo kaJehova; abayikusuthisa imiphefumulo yabo, bangagcwalisi izibilini zabo, ngokuba kade kuyisikhubekiso sobubi babo.
20Ukukhazimula kwezivunulo zakho bakubeka kwaba-ngukuziqhenya, benza ngakho izithombe ezinengekayo nezizondekayo; ngalokho ngikwenzile kwabayinto engcolileyo kubo.
21Ngiyakukunikela esandleni sabafokazi, kudliwe, nakwababi bomhlaba, kube-yimpango, bakungcolise.
22Ngiyakufulathelisa ubuso bami kubo, balingcolise igugu lami, kungene kulo abaphangi, balingcolise.
23Yenza iketanga, ngokuba izwe ligcwele amacala egazi, nomuzi ugcwele ubudlova.
24Ngiyakuletha izizwe ezimbi kakhulu, zidle izindlu zabo, ngiqede ukuzidla kwabanamandla, izindawo zabo ezingcwele zingcoliswe.
25Ukunqunywa kuyeza; bayakufuna ukuthula, kepha akuyikuba-khona.
26Ingozi iyakwelanywa yingozi, umbiko ulandele umbiko; bayakufuna umbono womprofethi, kepha umthetho uyakuphela kumpristi nesiluleko kuwo amalunga.
27Inkosi iyakulila, isikhulu siyakwembatha incithakalo, nezandla zabantu bezwe ziyakuhlushwa; ngiyakwenza kubo njengezindlela zabo, ngibahlulele njengezimfanelo zabo, bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
