AmaHubo 81 - isiZulu 1959/1997

Ihubo lomkhosiKumholi wokuhlabelela. NgeGititi.* Elika-Asafa.

1Halalisani uNkulunkulu amandla ethu,

nimemeze ngokujabula kuNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

2Hlabani ihubo,

nithathe isigubhu nehabhu* elihle nogubhu.

3 Bethani icilongo ekwethwaseni kwenyanga

nasekuhlanganeni kwenyanga ngosuku lomkhosi wethu.

4Ngokuba kuyisimiso kwa-Israyeli

nomthetho kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

5Kungubufakazi abumisayo kwaJosefa mhla ephuma ezweni laseGibithe.

Ngizwa ulimi ebengingalwazi luthi:

6 “Ngasusa ihlombe lakhe emthwalweni,

izandla zakhe zakhululeka eqomeni lokuthwala.

7 Wakhuleka usosizini, ngakukhulula;

ngakuphendula ngisekusithekeni kokuduma,

ngakuvivinya ngasemanzini aseMeriba. Sela*

8 “Zwanini, bantu bami,

ngizakufakaza kini ukuthi:

O Israyeli, sengathi ungangilalela!

9 Makungabikho kuwe unkulunkulu omunye,

ungakhuleki kunkulunkulu wabezizwe.

10Mina nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho

owakukhuphula ezweni laseGibithe;

khamisa umlomo wakho, ngiwugcwalise.

11“Kepha abantu bami abalalelanga izwi lami,

u-Israyeli akanginakanga.

12 Ngase ngibayeka enkanini yenhliziyo yabo

ukuba bahambe ngokuthanda kwabo.

13 “Sengathi abantu bami bangangizwa,

u-Israyeli ahambe ezindleleni zami.

14Bengiyakuthobisa masinyane izitha zabo,

ngiselulele isandla sami kwabamelene nabo.

15Abazondi bakaJehova bebeyakuzithobela kuye,

kepha isikhathi sabantu bami besiyakuba khona kuze kube phakade.

16 Ubeyakubapha ukolweni omuhle;

yebo, bengiyakubasuthisa ngezinyosi zasesiweni.”
