Ukoyika ihlabathi kunye neziqithi zoloyiko

1Yithini cwaka phambi kwam, nina ziqithi; izizwe mazihlaziye amandla azo; makasondele kubo; mabathethe ke; masisondele kunye ematyaleni.

2Ngubani na ovuse empumalanga lowo ukhawulelwa bubulungisa ezinyaweni zakhe? Wabanika ikrele lakhe njengothuli, nesaphetha sakhe sanjengeengcongolo ezivuthelweyo;

3Wabasukela, wagqitha enoxolo; naye ke akahamba ngeenyawo.

4Ngubani na owakwenzayo oku, owabiza izizukulwana kwasentloko? ndinguYehova, ingowokuqala, nowokugqibela; Nguye lowo.

5Iziqithi zakubona oko, zoyika; zagungqa iziphelo zehlabathi, zasondela, zemka.

6Umntu uyancedisa ummelwane wakhe; Wathi elowo kumzalwana wakhe, Yomelela.

7Ingcibi yemithi yomeleza umnyibilikisi wegolide, nalowo uyinyibilikisayo elucwecweni; yaye uyibethelele ngezikhonkwane, ukuze ingashukumi.

8Ke wena Sirayeli, ungumkhonzi wam, wena Yakobi, endikunyulileyo, mbewu ka-Abraham, umhlobo wam.

9Endakubambayo kwaseziphelweni zehlabathi, endakubizayo phakathi kookumkani bakho, ndathi kuwe, Ungumkhonzi wam wena; Mna ndaninyula, andinilahlanga;

10Musani ukoyika; ngokuba ndinani; sukoyika; ngokuba nguThixo wenu; Ndiya kukomeleza; ewe, ndiya kukunceda; ewe, ndiya kukuxhasa ngesandla sam sokunene sobulungisa bam.

11Yabona, bonke abakusukelayo baya kusuka beneentloni, bedanile; nabo basukuzana nawe baya kutshabalala.

12Uya kuwafuna, ungawafumani amadoda alwa nawe;

13Ngokuba mna, Yehova Thixo wakho, ndiya kubamba ngesandla sakho sokunene, ndithi kuwe, Musa ukoyika; Ndiza kukunceda.

14Musa ukoyika, mbungu Yakobi, nani madoda akwaSirayeli; ndiya kukunceda mna, utsho uYehova, uMkhululi wakho oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.

15Yabona, ndikwenza inkabi yenkomo, inamazinyo;

16Uya kuzivuthela, umoya uzithabathe, umoya ovuthuzayo uziphangalalise; yaye niya kugcoba ngoYehova nigcobe ngoyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.

17Xa amahlwempu namahlwempu ekhangele amanzi, aze angabikho, nolwimi lwawo lome lunxano, mna, iNkosi, ndiya kubaphendula, kwaye mna, Thixo kaSirayeli, andiyi kubuya umva kubo.

18Ndiya kuyivula imilambo eluqayini, nemithombo ezihlanjeni; Ndiya kuyijika intlango ibe lichibi lamanzi, nomhlaba ongumqwebedu ube yimithombo yamanzi.

19Ndiya kutyala entlango imisedare, nemithombe, nemimirtile, neminquma; Ndiya kutyala enkqantosini umpayini, ndingabi mipayini, ingenguye enkqantosini;

20ukuze babone, bazi, babone, baqonde ukuba isandla sikaYehova sikwenzile oko, nokuba Lowo Ungcwele kaSirayeli nguye owenze loo nto.

21Lifundeni ityala lenu, utsho uYehova; ziziseni izizathu zenu, utsho uKumkani kaYakobi.

22Mabawukhuphe, basixelele okuya kuhla; okanye usazise okuzayo.

23Xelani izinto ezizayo, ukuze sazi ukuba ningoothixo: Ewe, yenzani okulungileyo okanye nenze okubi, ukuze soyike size sibone kunye.

24Yabonani, ningamampunge; ulisikizi oninyulayo;

25Mna ndizele owasentla, oya kuza; empumalanga yena uya kundibiza igama lam, abathetheli beze njengodongwe, baxovule udongwe njengombumbi.

26Ngubani na owakuxelayo oko kwasekuqaleni? kwaye kuqala, masithi: Ngaba ulungile? Ewe, akukho bani unaziyo, ewe, akukho bani ukuxelelayo, ewe, akukho bani uwavayo amazwi akho.

27Ndim endaqala ndathi kwiZiyon, Yabona, ndikho, ndayinika iYerusalem umshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo.

28Ngokuba ndabona, akwabakho bani; naphakathi kwabo bekungekho mcebisi uphendulayo, xa ndibabuzayo.

29Yabona, bonke bephela bangamampunge; Zingamampunge izenzo zabo, imifanekiso yabo ethululwa ngumoya nochuku.
