Ukubuyiswa kweZiyon
1Memelela, ludlolo lungazaliyo; gqabhuka umemelele, utsholoze, wena ungenanimba; ngokuba baninzi abantwana besishiywa, ngaphezu kwabantwana bonendoda; utsho uYehova. 2Yenze banzi indawo yentente yakho, uwatwabulule amalengalenga eminquba yakho, ungathinteli; zolule izintya zakho, uziqinisele izikhonkwane zakho. 3Kuba ùya kutyhobozela ekunene nasekholo, imbewu yakho izidle ilifa iintlanga, iyime imizi ebingamanxuwa. 4Musa ukoyika, ngokuba akuyi kudana; musa ukudideka lihlazo, ngokuba akuyi kuba nazintloni. Ngokuba ukudana kobuntombi bakho ùya kukulibala, ungcikivo lobuhlolokazi bakho ungabi salukhumbula. 5Ngokuba indoda yakho nguMenzi wakho, ogama lakhe linguYehova wemikhosi; nguMkhululi wakho oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, ekuthiwa nguThixo wehlabathi lonke. 6Ngokuba uYehova ukubize njengomfazi obeshiyiwe, omoya ubulalekileyo, njengomfazi wobutsha, xeshikweni ebethe wacekiswa; utsho uThixo wakho.
7Ndakushiya okwephanyazo elincinane; ndiya kukubutha ngemfesane enkulu. 8Ngomkhukula woburhalarhume ndabusithelisa ubuso bam kuwe okwephanyazo; ndiya kuba nemfesane kuwe ngenceba engunaphakade; utsho uMkhululi wakho uYehova. 9Ngokuba injengonogumbe kaNowa le nto kum; oko ndafungayo ukuba amanzi kaNowa akasayi kuba sahamba phezu kwehlabathi, ngokunjalo ndifungile ukuba andiyi kuba naburhalarhume kuwe, ndingakukhalimeli. 10Ngokuba zingáde zimke iintaba, neenduli zishukume; yona inceba yam ayiyi kumka kuwe, ungashukumi nomnqophiso wam woxolo; utsho onemfesane kuwe, uYehova.
11Wena lusizana, uphetshethwayo ungenantuthuzelo, yabona, ndiwabeka amatye akho kwistibhiya,• ndikuseka ngeesafire.• 12Ndolumisa uqoqo lwakho ngeerubhi,• namasango akho ngamatye abengezelayo, nemida yakho yonke ngamatye anqabileyo. 13Bonke abantwana bakho baya kuba ngabafundi bakaYehova, lube lukhulu uxolo lwabantwana bakho.
14Ùya kuzinza ngobulungisa; ungakhe uxhale, ngokuba akuyi kuba nakoyika; ungakhe uqhiphuke umbilini, ngokuba akuyi kusondela kuwe. 15Yabona, bayaqukana bahlanganisane, andikho mna kuloo nto; nokuba ngoobani na abaya kuqukana ngawe, baya kuwa ngenxa enawe. 16Yabona, mna ndadala ingcibi efutha umlilo wamalahle, ivelise impahla ngokweshishini layo; kwamna ndadala nomonakalisi wokuyonakalisa. 17Zonke izixhobo ezikhandelwa ukulwa nawe aziyi kuba nampumelelo; zonke iilwimi ezimelene nawe ematyaleni ùya kuzigweba. Lilo eli ilifa labakhonzi bakaYehova, nobulungisa babo obuphuma kum; utsho uYehova.
