Isohlwayo sikaSirayeli ngenxa yenkohlakalo
1Kananjalo kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi, 2Wena, wena ke nyana womntu, itsho iNkosi uYehova kumhlaba wakwaSirayeli ukuthi, Isiphelo, isiphelo siwafikele amasondo omané elizwe. 3Kaloku isiphelo sikufikele; ndiya kuwukhuphela umsindo wam kuwe, ndikugwebe ngokweendlela zakho, ndiwabeke phezu kwakho amasikizi akho onke. 4Aliyi kuba nanceba kuwe iliso lam, ndingakucongi; ke ndiya kukuzisela iindlela zakho, abe sesazulwini sakho amasikizi akho; názi ukuba ndinguYehova.
5Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ububi, ububi obubodwa; yabonani, buyeza. 6Kuza isiphelo, isiphelo sona siyeza, sikuvukele wena; yabona siyeza. 7Úyakuzela umjojo, mmi welizwe eli; liyeza ixesha, isondele imini; kusisaqunge, akungamayeyeye emihlali ezintabeni. 8Ngoku kwakufuphi nje ndiya kuthulula phezu kwakho ubushushu bam, ndiwuphelelisele kuwe umsindo wam, ndikugwebe ngokweendlela zakho, ndiwabeke phezu kwakho onke amasikizi akho. 9Aliyi kuba nanceba kuwe iliso lam, ndingakucongi; ke ndiya kuwabeka phezu kwakho ngokweendlela zakho amasikizi akho phakathi kwakho; názi ukuba mna Yehova ndingobethayo.
10Nantso imini! Nantso, ifikile! Uphuma umjojo, luphuma amathupha uswazi, kuyatyatyamba ukukhukhumala. 11Ugonyamelo luphakame lwaba luswazi lokungendawo; akuyi kubakho namnye kubo osalayo, kungabikho nto kwingxokolo yabo, kungabikho nto kwintabalala yabo; kungabikho njuze isalayo kubo. 12Lifikile ixesha, isondele imini; othengayo makangavuyi, othengisayo makangenzi sijwili; ngokuba ukuvutha komsindo kuyayizela yonke ingxokolo yakhona. 13Ngokuba othengisayo akayi kubuyela entweni abethengise ngayo, nokuba ubesadla ubomi phakathi kwabadla ubomi; ngokuba umbono ongéngxokolo yonke yakhona awuyi kubuya umva; kungàbikho bani ubomelezayo ubomi bakhe ebugwenxeni bakhe.
14Bavuthela isigodlo, balungisa konke; kodwa akukho namnye oya ekulweni; ngokuba ubushushu bam buyizèle ingxokolo yabo yonke. 15Ngekrele ngaphandle, ngendyikitya yokufa nangendlala ngaphakathi: osendle uya kufa likrele, ophakathi komzi adliwe yindlala nayindyikitya yokufa.
16Ke abasindileyo kubo bosinda, babe sezintabeni njengamavukuthu asemifuleni, bedumzela bonke bephela, elowo edumzela ngobugwenxa bakhe. 17Zonke izandla ziya kuwa, onke amadolo aye angabi namandla; 18babhinqe ezirhwexayo, bagutyungelwe kukududuzela, ebusweni bonke ibe kukudana, iintloko zabo zonke zibe ziinkqayi. 19Isilivere yabo baya kuyiphosa ezitratweni, negolide yabo ibe yinto engcolileyo kubo. Isilivere yabo negolide yabo ayiyi kuba nako ukubahlangula ngemini yokuphuphuma komsindo kaYehova; abayi kuwuhluthisa ngayo umphefumlo wabo, nombilini wabo bangàwuzalisi ngayo; ngokuba yaba sisikhubekiso sokuba babe gwenxa.
20Isivatho sabo esinobukhazikhazi básimisela ikratshi, benza ngaso imifanekiso yabo engamasikizi, enezothe; ngenxa yoko ndiyenzé yayinto engcolileyo kubo. 21Ndiya kuyinikela esandleni sabasemzini ukuba iphangwe, nakwabangendawo behlabathi ibe lixhoba, bayihlambele; 22ndibùsuse ubuso bam kubo, bayihlambele ingqwebo yam; bafike abatyhobozi, bayihlambele.
23Yenza umxokelelwane, ngokuba ilizwe liliphalaza igazi elimsulwa, nomzi uzele lugonyamelo. 24Ndozisa abanobubi basezintlangeni, bazihluthe izindlu zabo, ndiliphelise ikratshi labanamandla, zihlanjelwe iingcwele zabo. 25Kuyafika ukuxhalaba; bafuna uxolo, alukho. 26Kuza umeyeliselo phezu komeyeliselo, kubekho udaba phezu kodaba, bafune umbono kumprofeti, ke umyalelo utshabalale ungabikho kumbingeleli, neqhinga kumadoda amakhulu. 27Ukumkani uya kwenza isijwili, nesikhulu sambathe ummangaliso, ziyekelele izandla zabantu belizwe eli. Ndiya kwenza kubo ngokwendlela yabo, ndibagwebe ngokwezigwebo zabo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
