41 “Ngilaleleni nithulile* nine tichingi;Tive atitfole emandla ato kabusha.
Atisondzele bese tiyakhuluma.+
Asihlangane ndzawonye sitokwehlulelwa.
2 Ngubani lophakamise umuntfu emphumalanga,+Wambita ngekulunga etinyaweni takhe,*Kuze anikele tive kuyeFutsi amente ancobe emakhosi?+
Ngubani loyo lowasakata ngenkemba yakhe kube shengatsi lutfuli,Awasakate njengetinhlanga letipheshulwa ngumoya embikwebutjoki bakhe?
3 Uyawacosha, endlule angaphazamisekiUwacosha etindleleni langazange anyatsele kuto.
4 Ngubani lotsetse sinyatselo futsi wenta loku,Lobite titukulwane kusukela ekucaleni?
Mine, Jehova, ngiwekucala;+Kubekugcina solo nginjalo.”+
5 Tichingi tikubonile loku tase tiyesaba.
Imikhawulo yemhlaba ibese icala kuchachatela.
Iyasondzela futsi iyeta.
6 Nguloyo naloyo usita umngani wakheBese utsi kumnakabo: “Cina.”
7 Indvodza lenelikhono emisebentini yetandla icinisa umuntfu losebenta ngensimbi;+Loyo lowelula tintfo asebentisa ihhamelaUcinisa loyo logandza insimbi lenkhulu ngehhamela.
Utsi ngetintfo letishiselwako: “Muhle lomsebenti.”
Ngemuva kwaloko, uticinisa ngetipikili kuze tingawi.
8 “Kodvwa wena, Israyeli, uyinceku yami,+Wena, Jakobe lengikukhetsile,+Wena ntalelwane* ya-Abrahama umngani wami,+
9 Wena lengakutsatsa emikhawulweni yemhlaba,+Wena lengakubita etindzaweni tawo letikhashane.
Ngitsite kuwe, ‘Uyinceku yami;+Ngikukhetsile; angikakulahli.+
10 Ungesabi ngobe mine nginawe.+
Ungakhatsateki ngobe mine nginguNkulunkulu wakho.+
Ngitakucinisa, nome kanjani ngitakusita,+Nakanjani ngitakubamba ngesandla sami sangesekudla sekulunga.’
11 Bonkhe labatfukutselela wena batawuba nemahloni futsi batawuhlazeka.+
Labo labalwa nawe batakwentiwa lite futsi batawushabalala.+
12 Utawufuna emadvodza latawulwa nawe imphi, kodvwa angeke uwatfole;Emadvodza lalwa nawe atawuba lite, atawufana nentfo lengekho sanhlobo.+
13 Ngobe mine Jehova Nkulunkulu wakho ngibamba sandla sakho sangesekudla,Mine ngitsi kuwe: ‘Ungesabi, ngitakusita.’+
14 Ungesabi wena sibungu* lesinguJakobe,+Nine ma-Israyeli ngitanisita,” kusho Jehova uMhlengi wenu,+ Longcwele waka-Israyeli.
15 “Ngikwente sihliphi sekubhula,+Lithuluzi lelisha lekubhula lelinematinyo etinhlangotsini totimbili.
Utakwehla tintsaba uphindze utibhidliteUtakwenta emagcuma afanane nemakhoba.
16 Utawela,Futsi umoya utawaphephula;Sivunguvungu sitawasakata.
Wena utawujabula ngaJehova,+Futsi utatigcabha ngaLongcwele waka-Israyeli.”+
17 “Labeswele netimphuya bafuna emanti kodvwa kute.
Lulwimi lwabo lomile ngenca yekweswela emanti.+
Mine Jehova ngitabaphendvula.+
Mine Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli, angeke ngibalahle.+
18 Ngitakwenta imifula igelete emagcumeni langenalutfo+Nemifudlana igelete etihosheni.+
Ngitawugucula lihlane libe sitiba semanti lesigcwele umhlangaNetindzawo letingenamanti tibe tiyalu temanti.+
19 Elugwadvule ngitawuhlanyela sihlahla semsedari,Semgamba, samabovana nesesipheshula.+
Elugwadvule ngitawuhlanyela sihlahla semjunipha,Kanye nesihlahla semferi nesemsayipuresi,+
20 Kuze bonkhe bantfu babone futsi bati,Banakisise futsi bacondzeKutsi sandla saJehova lesente loku,Nekutsi Longcwele waka-Israyeli ukudalile loko.”+
21 “Letsani indzaba yenu,” kusho Jehova.
“Letsani tikhalo tenu,” kusho iNkhosi yaJakobe.
22 “Letsani bufakazi futsi nisitjele tintfo letitakwenteka.
Sitjeleni tintfo letendlulile,*Kuze sicabangisise ngato, sati nemiphumela yato.
Nobe nimemetele kitsi tintfo letiseta.+
23 Sitjeleni lokutakwenteka esikhatsini lesitako,Kuze sati kutsi nibonkulunkulu.+
Yentani lokutsite, kungaba ngulokuhle nome lokubi,Kuze simangale nasikubona.+
24 Nine niyintfo lengekho,Lenikufezile akusilutfo.+
Nome ngubani lonikhetsako, uyenyanyeka.+
25 Ngisukumise lotsite enyakatfo futsi utawuta,+Ngisukumise lotsite lovela emphumalanga+ lotawubita libito lami.
Utawugcobagcoba babusi* kube shengatsi balubumba,+Abagcobagcobe njengembumbi lobhuca lubumba lolumanti.
26 Ngubani lowakhuluma ngaloku kusukela ekucaleni, kuze sitewukwati,Nome kusukela etikhatsini letendlulile, kangangekutsi singatsi: ‘Ucinisile’?+
Kute lowakumemetela!
Kute lowakhuluma ngako!
Kute umuntfu loweva lokutsite kuwe!”+
27 Ngimi wekucala lowatsi eSiyoni: “Naba sebakhona!”+
EJerusalema ngitawutfumela lotawuletsa tindzaba letimnandzi.+
28 Kodvwa ngachubeka ngibuka futsi bekute muntfu;Bekute ngisho namunye kubo longakhipha seluleko,Futsi ngachubeka ngibacela kutsi baphendvule.
29 Bonkhe bayintfo lengekho.
Imisebenti yabo ilite.
Tithico tabo tensimbi* tingumoya futsi tilite.+
