UISAYA 35
Ukusikeleleka kwabantu bakaThixo
1Inemihlali intlango nomqwebedu; iyagcoba inkqantosi, iyadubula njengomfiyo. 2Iyatyatyamba, ithi rhoqo; iyagcoba, ewe, iyagcoba, imemelele, inikwe ubuqaqawuli beLebhanon, ubungangamela beKarmele neSharon; ezo ndawo ziya kububona ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, ubungangamela boThixo wethu.
3Yomelezani izandla eziwileyo, niwaqinise amadolo agexayo. 4Yithini kwabantliziyo zingxamayo, Yomelelani, ningoyiki. Yabonani, uThixo wenu uyeza enempindezelo, enembuyekezo kaThixo; uya kuza yena anisindise.
5Aya kuvulwa amehlo eemfama, zivulwe iindlebe zezithulu; 6size sitsibe njengexhama isiqhwala, lumemelele ulwimi lwesidenge; ngokuba kuya kugqobhoka amanzi entlango, nemilambo enkqantosini; 7isanga sibe lidike, neendawo ezinxaniweyo zimpompoze amanzi. Esikhundleni sempungutye, apho ibuthuma khona, kuya kuba butyani neengcongolo nemikhanzi. 8Kuya kubakho umendo khona, kubekho indlela, kuthiwe ukubizwa kwayo, yindlela engcwele le. Akuyi kudlula nto iyinqambi ngayo; yeyabo yona: abahamba loo ndlela — nabazizihula àbayi kulahleka kuyo. 9Akuyi kubakho ngonyama khona, aliyi kuqabela khona irhamncwa eliqwengayo; aliyi kufunyanwa khona; kuya kuhamba khona abakhululwé ngokuhlawulelwa; 10abakhululwa bakaYehova babuye beze eZiyon bememelela; benovuyo olungunaphakade phezu kweentloko zabo; baya kufumana imihlali nemivuyo, sisabe isingqala nosizi.
