Bible Reading Plan – Day 177

₁Mangihlabelele ngothandiweyo wami,

isihlabelelo sothandiweyo wami ngesivini sakhe.

Othandiweyo wami

wayenesivini egqumeni elivundile kakhulu;

₂wasimba, wakhipha amatshe aso,

wasitshala ngomvini omuhle,

wakha isiqongo sokulinda phakathi kwaso,

waqopha isikhamo kuso,

wethemba ukuthi siyakuthela izithelo zomvini,

kepha saveza izithelo zasendle.

₃“Manje nina enakhileyo eJerusalema namadoda akwaJuda,

ake nahlulele phakathi kwami nesivini sami.

₄Nga kwenziwani futhi esivinini sami engingakwenzanga kuso na?

Kungani ukuba lapho ngithembe ukuthi siyakuthela izithelo zomvini,

saveza izithelo zasendle, na?

₅Sengiyakunitshela engiyakukwenza kuso isivini sami:

ngiyakususa uthango lwaso, ukuze sidliwe,

ngidilize ugange lwaso,

ukuze sinyathelwe.

₆Ngiyakusenza sibe yincithakalo;

asiyikuthenwa, asiyikulinywa,

kepha kuyakuvela amakhakhasi nameva;

futhi ngiyakuyala amafu ukuba anganisi imvula phezu kwaso.”

₇Ngokuba isivini sikaJehova Sebawoti siyindlu ka-Israyeli,

namadoda akwaJuda ayisithombo sakhe esithandekayo;

wabheka ukwahlulela, kepha bheka, ngukucindezela,

yebo, ukulunga, kepha bheka, ngukukhala.

₈Wo kubona abahlanganisa indlu nendlu,

besondeza insimu nensimu,

kuze kungabe kusaba khona indawo,

kwakhe nina nodwa emhlabeni!

“Impela izindlu eziningi ziyakuba yincithakalo,

nezinkulu nezinhle zingabi namuntu ohlala kuzo.

₁₀Ngokuba ama-eka* ayishumi esivini

ayakuthela ibhati* elilodwa,

nehomere* lembewu liyakuthela i-efa* nje.”

₁₁Wo kubona abavuka ekuseni,

ukuze balandele uphuzo olunamandla,

balibale kuze kuhlwe,

bashe iwayini!

₁₂Ihabu* nogubhu, isigubhu negenkle,

newayini

kukhona emadilini abo,

kepha abanakekeli imisebenzi kaJehova,

nezenzo zezandla zakhe abaziboni.

₁₃Ngalokho abantu bami bayathunjwa bengazi,

nabadumileyo babo bayalamba,

nezixuku zabo zigangathekile ngokoma.

₁₄Ngalokho indawo yabafileyo yandisile isifiso sayo,

yavula umlomo wayo ngokungalinganiswayo;

kwehlela kuyo amakhosi abo, nesixuku sabo esixokozelayo,

kanye nabajabulayo phakathi kwabo.

₁₅Abantu bayafoliswa,

namadoda ayathotshiswa,

namehlo abaziphakamisayo ayathotshiswa,

₁₆kepha uJehova Sebawoti uphakeme ekwahluleleni,

uNkulunkulu oNgcwele ungcwelisiwe ngokulunga.

₁₇Amawundlu ayakuklaba njengasemadlelweni awo,

nasezincithakalweni zabacebileyo kuyakuklaba amazinyane.

₁₈Wo kubona abadonsa ukona ngezintambo zamanga,

nezono kungathi ngamagoda ezinqola,

₁₉abasho ukuthi: “Makaphuthume,

asheshise umsebenzi wakhe ukuba siwubone,

kusondele isiluleko soNgcwele ka-Israyeli,

sifike ukuba sisazi!”

₂₀Wo kubona abasho okubi ukuthi kungokuhle,

nokuhle ukuthi kungububi,

ababeka ubumnyama bube ngukukhanya,

nokukhanya kube ngubumnyama,

babeke nokubabayo kube ngubumtoti,

nobumtoti bube ngokubabayo!

₂₁Wo kubona abahlakaniphile emehlweni abo

nabaqondile ekuboneni kwabo!

₂₂Wo kubona abangamaqhawe ngokuphuza iwayini

namadoda anamandla ngokuxubanisa uphuzo olunamandla,

₂₃abathetha ababi ngenxa yemivuzo,

basuse ukulunga kwabalungileyo!

₂₄Ngalokho njengolimi lomlilo ludla amabibi,

nezikhotha ezomileyo zizika elangabini,

impande yabo iyakuba njengokubola,

nembali yabo iyakuthuquka njengebhuqu,

ngokuba balahlile umthetho kaJehova Sebawoti,

balidelela izwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

₂₅Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova iyavuthela isizwe sakhe;

welulela isandla sakhe kuso, uyasishaya;

izintaba ziyathuthumela,

nezidumbu zabo ziyimfucumfucu

phakathi ezitaladini;

kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yakhe ayibuyi,

isandla sakhe siseluliwe.

₂₆Uyakuphakamisela isizwe esikude ibhandela,*

asihlabele ikhwelo ekugcineni komhlaba;

bheka, uyeza masinyane ngejubane.

₂₇Akakho oyakukhathala,

akhubeke kuso;

akakho oyakozela, alale;

ibhande* lezinkalo zabo aliyikuthukuluka,

nomchilo wezicathulo zabo awuyikugqabuka,

₂₈bona abamicibisholo yabo ibukhali,

nayo yonke iminsalo yabo insaliwe;

izinyawo zamahhashi abo ziyakubalwa njengensengetsha,

namasondo abo njengesivunguvungu.

₂₉Ukubhonga kwabo kunjengokwengonyamakazi,

bayakubhonga njengamabhongo ebhubesi,

yebo, bayakugwavuma,

babambe impango yabo,

bamuke nayo, kungekho oyophulayo.

₃₀Bayakugwavuma phezu kwabo ngalolo suku

njengokuduma kolwandle;

uma umuntu ebuka umhlaba,

bheka, naso isigayegaye sobumnyama,

nokukhanya kwenziwe mnyama ngamafu awo.

“Ungcwele, ungcwele, ungcwele uJehova Sebawoti,

wonke umhlaba ugcwele inkazimulo yakhe.”

“ ‘Yizwani, yizwani, kepha ningaqondi;

bonani, bonani, kepha ningazi.’

₁₀Yenza inhliziyo yalaba bantu ukuba ikhuluphale,

nezindlebe zabo zibe buthuntu,

ufiphaze amehlo abo,

funa babone ngamehlo abo,

bezwe ngezindlebe zabo,

baqonde ngenhliziyo yabo,

babuye, baphiliswe.”

“Kuze kuchithwe imizi,

kungabe kusaba khona ohlala kuyo,

nezindlu zingabe zisaba namuntu,

nomhlaba uchitheke ube yize,

₁₂uJehova aze adedisele kude abantu,

nencithakalo ibe nkulu ezweni.

₁₃Yebo, noma kusekhona inxenye yeshumi kulo,

yona iyakubuye ishiswe njengomtherebinte* ne-oki*

okusiqu sakho simi lapho kugawulwa khona;

inzalo engcwele iyisiqu sakho.”
