Isithembiso sokuthula
1Kepha kuyakuthi ngezinsuku ezizayo
intaba yendlu kaJehova
iqiniswe esiqongweni sezintaba,
iphakame kunamagquma,
nabantu bayakugobhozela khona.
2Izizwe eziningi ziyakuhamba, zithi:
“Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova
nasendlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe;
uyakusifundisa izindlela zakhe,
sihambe emikhondweni yakhe,
ngokuba umthetho uyakuvela eSiyoni,
nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.
3Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe eziningi,
anqume phakathi kwezizwe ezinamandla ezikude;
ziyakukhanda izinkemba zazo zibe ngamakhuba,
imikhonto yazo ibe ngocelemba;
isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba,
zingabe zisafuna ukulwa.
4Bayakuhlala,
kube yilowo nalowo phansi komvini wakhe
naphansi komkhiwane wakhe;
akakho oyakubesabisa,
ngokuba umlomo kaJehova Sebawoti ukhulumile.
5Ngokuba bonke abantu bahamba,
kube yilowo nalowo ngegama likankulunkulu wakhe,
kepha thina siyakuhamba ngegama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu
kuze kube phakade naphakade.
6“Ngalolo suku,” usho uJehova,
“ngiyakubutha abaqhugayo,
ngiqoqe abaxoshiweyo nengenze okubi kubo,
7ngenze abaqhugayo babe yinsali,
abadediselwe kude babe yisizwe esinamandla;
uJehova uyakubusa phezu kwabo entabeni yaseSiyoni
kusukela manje kuze kube phakade.
