Abalusi bakwaSirayeli

1Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,

2Nyana womntu, profeta kubalusi bakwaSirayeli, uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova kubalusi; Yeha ke, abalusi bakwaSirayeli, abazalusa ngokwabo! Abalusi mabangawalusi na umhlambi?

3Nidla amanqatha, ninxiba izinxibo zoboya, abatyebileyo nibaxhela; kodwa aniwalusi umhlambi.

4Ezigulayo anizomelezanga, ezifayo aniziphilisanga, ezaphukileyo anizibophanga, ezigxothiweyo anizibuyisanga, nezilahlekileyo anizifunanga; kodwa wabalawula ngogonyamelo nangenkohlakalo.

5Zaba lusali ngokuswela umalusi, zaba kukudla kwamarhamncwa onke elizwe, zaba lusali.

6Iigusha zam zaduka ezintabeni zonke, nasezindulini zonke ezinde, zabe zithe saa emhlabeni wonke, akwabakho uzifunayo nongakufunayo.

7Ngako oko, balusi, liveni ilizwi likaYehova;

8Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ngokuba umhlambi wam ube lixhoba, umhlambi wam ube kukudla kwamarhamncwa onke elizwe, ngenxa yokuba kungekho malusi, nabalusi bam bengawukhathaleli umhlambi wam kodwa abalusi bayazalusa ngokwabo, kwaye abawavumeli umhlambi wam udle;

9Ngoko ke, balusi, liphulaphuleni ilizwi likaYehova;

10Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi; Yabonani, ndinento ngakubalusi; yaye ndiya kuwubiza umhlambi wam ezandleni zabo ndize ndikuyekise ukwalusa umhlambi wam; bangabi sazalusa bona abalusi; kuba ndiya kuwusindisa umhlambi wam emlonyeni wabo, ukuze ungabi kukudla kwabo.

11Kuba itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi: “Yabona, ndiya kuzigocagoca izimvu zam ndize ndizifune.

12Njengomalusi ewugcinayo umhlambi wakhe, ngemini yokubakho kwakhe phakathi kweegusha zakhe ezichithakeleyo; ndiya kuwufuna umhlambi wam, ndiwusindise ezindaweni zonke othe saa kuwo ngemini yamafu nobumnyama.

13Ndiya kuzikhupha ezintlangeni ndize ndizibuthe emazweni ndize ndizise emhlabeni wazo, ndiwadlise ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli emilanjeni nasezindaweni zonke ezimiweyo zelizwe.

14Ndiya kuwalusela ebutyanini obulungileyo, abe yindlwane ezintabeni ezinde zakwaSirayeli; ziya kubutha emadlelweni alungileyo, zidle ekriweni elityebileyo ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli.

15Ndiza kuzondla izimvu zam ndize ndizenze zibe nemihlali,’ itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova.

16Into elahlekileyo ndiya kuyifuna; ke etyebileyo, neyomeleleyo, ndiya kuyitshabalalisa; ndiya kuzalusa ngokusesikweni.

17“Nina ke, mhlambi wam, itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova, ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kugweba phakathi kwemazi yenkomo neemazi, naphakathi kweenkunzi zeegusha neenciniba.

18Yinto encinane na kuni, ukuthi nidle utyani obulungileyo, nikunyhashe oko kuseleyo ngamanqina enu? nisele amanzi anzongonzongo, nihlambe aseleyo ngamanqina enu?

19Umhlambi wam udla obunyhashiweyo ngamanqina akho; basela into oyinqambi ngeenyawo zakho.

20Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova kubo ukuthi; yabona, ndiya kugweba phakathi kwamanqatha natyebileyo;

21Ngokuba nabetha ngecala lakho nangegxalaba, nayibetha yonke imilwelwe ngeempondo zakho, wada wayichithachitha;

22Ndiya kuwusindisa umhlambi wam, ungabi saba lixhoba; ndiya kugweba phakathi kweenkomo neemazi.

23Ndiya kumisa phezu kwawo umalusi abe mnye, awaluse, umkhonzi wam uDavide; Uya kuwalusa, abe ngumalusi wawo;

24Mna Yehova ndiya kuba nguThixo wawo, umkhonzi wam uDavide abe yisikhulu phakathi kwawo; Mna Yehova ndithethile.

25Ndiya kuwenza umnqophiso woxolo ndiwatshabalalise amarhamncwa amabi emhlabeni, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo aya kuhlala entlango ekhuselekile aze alale ehlathini.

26Ndowenza wona, kwaneendawo ezingeenxa zonke endulini yam, ube yintsikelelo; ndiya kunisa imvula ngexesha layo; kuya kubakho iimvula zentsikelelo.

27Umthi welizwe wothwala isiqhamo sawo, ilizwe livelise ukudla kwalo, bakhuseleke ezweni labo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekuwaphuleni kwam amathambo edyokhwe yabo, ndibahlangule isandla sabo babekhonza ngokwabo.

28Akayi kuba saba lixhoba leentlanga, angadli amarhamncwa elizwe; kodwa baya kuhlala bekhuselekile, yaye akukho bani uya kuboyikisa.

29Ndiya kubavelisela isityalo esinegama, ukuze bangabi sabulawa yindlala ehlabathini, bangabi sathwala ihlazo leentlanga.

30Baya kwazi ukuba mna Yehova Thixo wabo ndinabo, bangabantu bam bona, indlu kaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.

31Nina ke, zimvu zam, zimvu zedlelo lam, nani bantu; ndinguThixo wenu; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
