UHabakuki 3

₂Jehova, ngizwile umbiko ngawe,

ngiyesaba izenzo zakho;

zivuselele phakathi kwale minyaka,

wenze ukuba zaziwe kule minyaka,

ukhumbule umusa nasolakeni.

₃UNkulunkulu uvela eThemani,

oNgcwele uphuma entabeni yasePharanu. Sela*

Udumo lwakhe lusibekela amazulu,

nomhlaba ugcwele indumiso yakhe.

₄Kuqhamuka ukubengezela kunjengokukhanya;

imisebe ivela esandleni sakhe,

efihla lapho amandla akhe.

₅Ngaphambi kwakhe kuhamba isifo,

amalangabi aphuma ezinyathelweni zakhe.

₆Uyema, uzamazamisa umhlaba;

ubuka, uthuthumelisa izizwe;

izintaba zaphakade ziyahlakazwa,

namagquma amandulo akhothama yizindlela zakhe zaphakade.

₇Ngibona amatende aseKushani ephansi kosizi,

izilenge zezwe lakwaMidiyani ziyathuthumela.

₈UJehova uyathukuthelela imifula na?

Ulaka lwakho luvuthela imifula,

nentukuthelo yakho ulwandle,

lokhu ukhwele amahhashi akho,

nezinqola zakho zokunqoba, na?

₉Umnsalo wakho uvele obala,

wambuliwe,

usuthile ngemicibisholo yesambo sakho. Sela*

Uqhekeza umhlaba ube yimifula.

₁₀Izintaba ziyakubona, zithuthumele;

isikhukhula samanzi siyadlula;

utwa luzwakalisa izwi lalo,

luphakamisela phezulu izandla zalo.

₁₁Ilanga nenyanga kwema endaweni yakho

ngokukhanya kwemicibisholo yakho egijimayo

nangokubengezela kwemikhonto yakho ecwebezelayo.

₁₂Udabula umhlaba ngokuthukuthela,

ubhula izizwe ngolaka.

₁₃Uphumela ukusindiswa kwabantu bakho,

yebo, ukusindiswa kogcotshiweyo wakho;

uphohloza uphahla endlini yababi,

wambula isisekelo kuze kube sentanyeni. Sela*

₁₄Ugwaza ikhanda lomholi wabo ngeyakhe imicibisholo,

lapho besondela njengesivunguvungu ukungihlakaza,

bejabula njengabayakudla ompofu ngasese.

₁₅Unyathela ulwandle ngamahhashi akho,

inqaba yamanzi amaningi.

₁₆Ngiyezwa, kuyathuthumela okuphakathi kwami,

izindebe zami ziyaqhaqhazela ngenhlokomo;

ukubola kungena emathanjeni ami,

ngithuthumela endaweni lapha ngimi khona,

ngilindela usuku lokuhlupheka ukuze kukhuphuke lokhu

okuyakucindezela abantu.

₁₇Noma umkhiwane ungakhahleli,

kungabikho izithelo emvinini,

umsebenzi womnqumo uphuthe,

amasimu angavezi ukudla,

izimvu zinqunywe esibayeni,

kungabikho nkomo ezibayeni,

₁₈nokho mina ngiyakuthokoza ngoJehova,

ngijabulele uNkulunkulu wokusindiswa kwami.

₁₉UJehova, iNkosi yami,

ungamandla ami,

wenza izinyawo zami zibe njengezezindluzelekazi,

angenze ukuba ngihambe ezindaweni zami eziphakemeyo.

Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ngogubhu.
