1 Ngaloo mini uYehova uya kuyivelela ngekrele lakhe, elo lilukhuni, elo likhulu, elo lomeleleyo, ileviyatan inyoka ebalekayo, neleviyatan inyoka ephinyaphinyelayo; ayibulale ingwenya eselwandle.
2 Ngaloo mini kuya kuthiwa, Isidiliya esinqwenelekayo, hlabelani ngaso.
3 Mna Yehova ndingumlondolozi waso; ndiya kusinyela ngamaxesha onke, ndiya kusilondoloza ubusuku nemini, hleze sivelelwe yinto.
4 Ubushushu abukho kum; akwaba bekukho ubobo namakhakakhaka phambi kwam! Bendiya kugaleleka kuwo ngokulwa, bendiya kuwatshisa kanye.
5 Okanye mababambelele egwibeni lam, baxolelane nam, ewe, baxolelane nam.
6 Ngezayo imihla uYakobi uya kwendelisela iingcambu, atyatyambe adubule uSirayeli, balizalise lonke elimiweyo ngeziqhamo.
7 Umbethe ngokubetha kwababethi bakhe na? Mhlawumbi ubulewe ngokubulawa kwababulewe nguye na?
8 Ekumaleni wabambana naye, walinganisela, wakha uluhlu, wamgxotha ngomoya wakhe owomeleleyo ngemini yomoya wasempumalanga.
9 Ngako oko ubugwenxa bukaYakobi buya kucanyagushelwa ngale nto; isiqhamo sonke sokususa isono sakhe soba sesi sokuthi, awenze onke amatye esibingelelo abe njengamatye ekalika ankumenkume, bangavuki ooAshera nezithixo zelanga.
10 Ngokuba umzi onqatyisiweyo uwodwa, usisithili esilahliweyo, esishiyiweyo njengentlango. Aya kudla khona amathole, abuthe khona, awadle awagqibe khona amahlamvu aso.
11 Othi akoma amasebe aso, aphulwe; beze abafazi, bawabase; kuba asibantu banangqondo aba; ngako oko umenzi wabo akayi kuba namfesane kubo, umbumbi wabo akayi kubababala.
12 Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, abhulise uYehova, athabathele emsingeni woMlambo, ase esihlanjeni saseYiputa, nihlanganiselwe omnye komnye, nina nyana bakaSirayeli.
13 Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, kuvuthelwe isigodlo esikhulu, beze ababelahlekele ezweni laseAsiriya, nababegxothelwe ezweni lamaYiputa, baqubude kuYehova entabeni engcwele eseYerusalem. |
