UISAYA 27

₁Ngalolosuku uJehova uyakuhambela

ngenkemba yakhe elukhuni enkulu nenamandla

uLeviyathani*, inyoka esheshayo,

uLeviyathani, inyoka ethandelayo,

abulale udrako* oselwandle.

₂Ngalolosuku kuyakuba-khona isivini esinxanelekayo;

hlabelelani ngaso.

₃Mina-Jehova ngingumlindi waso,

ngiyakusinisela njalo;

funa soniwe, ngiyakusilinda ubusuku nemini.

₄Ukufutheka akukho kimi;

sengathi kungaba-khona amakhakhasi nameva!

Bengiyakuwasukela ngokulwa,

ngiwashise kanyekanye,

₅noma abambelele emandleni ami ukuba enze ukuthula nami,

enzelane ukuthula nami.

₆Ngezinsuku ezizayo uJakobe uyakugxila,

uIsrayeli akhahlele, aqhakaze,

bagcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngezithelo.

₇Ubashayile njengalokho ebashayile ababashayayo na?

Babulewe njengokubulawa kwababulewe nguye na?

₈Ngokubamukisa nangokubaxosha uyabajezisa;

wabasusa ngomoya wakhe olukhuni

ngosuku lomoya wasempumalanga.

₉Ngakho ububi bukaJakobe buyakuhlangulwa ngalokhu,

lokhu kube-yisithelo sonke sokususa isono sakhe,

lapho enza ukuba onke amatshe ealtare

avithizeke njengamatshe omcako,

kungabe kusamiswa oAshera* nama-altare empepho.

₁₀Ngokuba umuzi obiyelweyo uyize,

nekhaya limukelwe, lishiyiwe njengehlane;

ithole liyakuklaba khona, libuthise khona,

lidle, liqede amahlamvu awo.

₁₁Lapho amagatsha awo esebunile, ayakwaphulwa,

kufike abesifazane, baphembe umlilo kuwo,

ngokuba bangabantu abangenakuqonda;

ngalokho owabenzayo akayikubahawukela,

nowababumbayo akayikuba-namusa kubo.

₁₂Kuyakuthi ngalolosuku uJehova avuthuze

ezikhwetshini zasemfuleni kuze kubesemfuleni waseGibithe,

nibuthwe abanye ngabanye

nina-bantwana bakwaIsrayeli.

₁₃Kuyakuthi ngalolosuku libethwe icilongo elikhulu,

kufike ababelahlekile ezweni laseAsiriya

nabaxoshiweyo ezweni laseGibithe,

bakhuleke kuJehova entabeni engcwele eJerusalema.
