Umbono wentili yamathambo omileyo
1Saba phezu kwam isandla sikaYehova; waphuma nam uYehova, ndikuMoya, wandibeka entilini phakathi; yona ke izele ngamathambo. 2Wandidlulisa kuwo, wandijikelezisa ngeenxa zonke; yabona, ebemaninzi kakhulu entilini leyo; yabona, ebeselomile kakhulu. 3Wathi ke kum, Nyana womntu, aya kuphila na ke la mathambo? Ndathi, Nkosi Yehova, kwazi wena.
4Wathi kum, Profeta phezu kwala mathambo, uthi kuwo, Mathambondini, liveni ilizwi likaYehova. 5Itsho iNkosi uYehova kula mathambo, ukuthi, Niyabona, ndingenisa umoya kuni; niya kuphila ke. 6Ndiya kunifaka imisipha, ndimilise kuni inyama, ndinaleke ngolùsu, ndifake umoya ngaphakathi kwenu, niphile; názi ukuba ndinguYehova.
7Ndaprofeta ngoko bendiwiselwe umthetho ngako; kwabakho isandi ndàkuprofeta; nanko kurhashaza, asondelelana amathambo, ithambo lasondela kwithambo lalo. 8Ndakhangela, nanko kukho imisipha kuwo, yamila inyama, kwaleka ulùsu luthabathela phezulu; umoya ke awabakho.
9Wathi kum, Profeta kuwo umoya, profeta, nyana womntu, uthi kuwo umoya, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Vela, moya kwimimoya yominé, uphefumlele kwaba babuleweyo, baphile. 10Ndaprofeta ke ngoko bendiwiselwe umthetho ngako. Wangena umoya kuwo; baphila, bema ngeenyawo, umkhosi omkhulu kakhulu kunene.
Ukuvuswa kwamathambo kuzekelisa uSirayeli
11Wathi ke kum, Nyana womntu, la mathambo yindlu kaSirayeli yonke; yabona, bathi, Amathambo ethu omile, nethemba lethu lidakile, sìnqanyulwe. 12Ngako oko profeta, uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kuwavula amangcwaba enu, ndininyuse niphume emangcwabeni enu, bantu bam, ndinise emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli. 13Niya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekuwavuleni kwam amangcwaba enu, nasekuninyuseni kwam, niphume emangcwabeni enu, bantu bam. 14Ndofaka uMoya wam kuni, niphile, ndinibeke emhlabeni wenu; nazi ukuba mna Yehova ndithethile, ndiya kwenza; utsho uYehova.
UYuda noSirayeli baya kumanywa kwakhona uDavide engukumkani
15Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi, 16Wena ke, nyana womntu, thabathela kuwe intonga ibe nye, ubhale kuyo uthi, EkaYuda, neyoonyana bakaSirayeli, amadlelane akhe; uthabathe enye intonga ubhale kuyo uthi, EkaYosefu (intonga kaEfrayim), nendlu yonke kaSirayeli, amadlelane akhe; 17uzisondeze ke, enye kwenye, zibe ntonga-nye, zibe nto-nye esandleni sakho.
18Bothi bakuthetha nawe oonyana babantu bakowenu, besithi, Akasixeleli na, ziyintoni na ezi ntonga kuwe? 19uthi wena kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kuyithabatha intonga kaYosefu, esesandleni sikaEfrayim nezizwe zikaSirayeli, amadlelane akhe endiwabeke kuyo ndawonye nentonga kaYuda, ndibenze babe ntonga-nye, babe nto-nye esandleni sam. 20Iintonga obhale kuzo zize zibe sesandleni sakho emehlweni abo.
21Uze uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kubathabatha oonyana bakaSirayeli phakathi kweentlanga abahamba kuzo, ndibabuthe, bavele ngeenxa zonke, ndibàse emhlabeni wabo. 22Ndobenza babe luhlanga lunye elizweni elo, ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, abe mnye ukumkani, engukumkani wabo bonke bephela; bangabuyi babe ziintlanga ezimbini, bangabuyi bahluke babe zizikumkani ezibini. 23Abayi kubuya bazenze iinqambi ngezigodo zabo, nangezinto zabo ezinezothe, nangezikreqo zabo zonke; ke ndobasindisa emakhayeni abo onke, ababesona kuwo, ndibahlambulule, babe ngabantu bam, ndibe nguThixo wabo. 24Umkhonzi wam uDavide woba ngukumkani kubo, abe ngumalusi omnye kubo bonke bephela; bahambe ngamasiko am, bagcine imimiselo yam, bayenze.
25Bohlala ezweni elo, ndalinika umkhonzi wam uYakobi, ababehleli kulo ooyise; bahlale ke khona, bona nabantwana babantwana babo kude kuse ephakadeni; uDavide, umkhonzi wam, abe sisikhulu sabo ngonaphakade. 26Ndobenzela umnqophiso woxolo; uya kuba ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade kubo; ndibamise, ndibandise, ndibeke ingcwele yam phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade. 27Umnquba wam uya kuba phezu kwabo, ndibe nguThixo wabo, babe ngabantu bam; 28zazi iintlanga ukuba ndinguYehova ongcwalise amaSirayeli, xa ingcwele yam iya kubakho phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade.
