1 “Thulani embikwami, nine tichingi!
Tive ativuselele emandla ato!
Atiphumele ebaleni tikhulume,
asihlangane kanyekanye endzaweni yekwehlulela.
2 Ngubani lochukulute lomunye kutsi esuke emphumalanga,
wambitela ekulungeni kutsi ahlangabetane nekuncoba
kuso sonkhe sinyatselo?
Tive utinikela kuye,
atfobise emakhosi embikwakhe.
Ngenkemba yakhe uyabagucula babe lutfuli,
nangebutjoki bakhe uyabaphephula njengemakhoba.
3Ubalandzela ngemuva angavinjwa lutfo,
abacoshe ngendlela langazange asanyatsele kuyo.
4 Ngubani lowente loku wadzimate wakuphumelelisa,
wabita titukulwane kusukela ekucaleni?
Mine, Simakadze, lengangikhona ekucaleni
nalengiyawube ngikhona nasekugcineni, solo nginguye.”
5Tichingi tikubonile tesaba,
imikhawulo yemhlaba iyatfutfumela,
bantfu bayasondzela,
baphumela ebaleni.
6Ngulowo usita lomunye,
akhulume kumnakabo atsi: “Cina!”
7Ingcweti kutekubata ikhutsata umbumbi wetegolide,
nalowo lobetsela ngesandvo
ushiyela kulowo locandvulako.
Kulowo loshiselako utsi: “Kuhle.”
Ubetsela sithico khona singetikuwa.
8 “Kodvwa wena, Israyeli, nceku yami,
Jakobe, wena lengikukhetsile,
wena situkulwane sa-Abrahama umngani wami,
9 ngakutsatsa emaphetselweni emhlaba,
ngakubita emagunjini awo lakhashane.
Ngakubita ngatsi: ‘Wena uyinceku yami,’
ngikukhetsile, ngangete ngakwala.
10 Ngako-ke ungesabi, ngobe mine nginawe;
ungajabhi, ngobe mine nginguNkulunkulu wakho.
Ngitakucinisa ngikusite,
ngiyakukubamba ngesandla sami sekudla lesilungile.
11 “Bonkhe labakubhavumulelako,
impela, bayakudliwa ngemahloni, bahlazeke;
labo labemelene nawe bayawuba lite, babhubhe baphele.
12 Nome sewutiphenyisisa titsa takho, ungeke utitfole.
Labo labaphekehla imphi nawe bayawuba lite lelite.
13 Ngobe mine nginguSimakadze, Nkulunkulu wakho,
lobamba sandla sakho sangesekudla,
atsi kuwe: ‘Ungesabi, ngitakusita.’
14 Ungesabi, wena mphetfu, Jakobe,
awu, mntfwanyana, Israyeli,
ngobe mine matfupha ngitakusita,”
kusho Simakadze, uMhlengi wakho,
Longcwele waka-Israyeli.
15“Buka la, ngitakwenta ube sihhudlo sekubhula kolo,
lesisha nalesikhaliphako lesinematinyo lamanyenti.
Uyawushaya tintsaba utifohlote,
wehlise emagcuma abe ngemakhoba.
16Uyakuwela, umoya uwakhetse,
sivunguvungu siyakuwaphephula.
Kodvwa wena uyawujabula ngaSimakadze,
utibonge ngaLongcwele waka-Israyeli.
17“Labamphofu nalabeswele batfungatsa emanti,
kodvwa kute;
tilwimi tabo tomile ngenca yekweswela emanti.
Kodvwa mine Simakadze ngitabevela,
mine, Nkulunkulu waka-Israyeli, ngingeke ngibashiye.
18 Ngiyawukwenta imifula igelete
etindzaweni letiphakeme letilugwadvule,
netiyalu ekhatsi etihosheni.
Ngiyawugucula lihlane libe titiba temanti,
nemhlaba logagadzekile ube netiyalu temanti.
19 Ehlane ngiyawubeka
umsedari, nemgamba, nemabovana, nemncumo.
Ngiyawumilisa tipheshula eveni leligagadzekile
imferi nemsayipuresi kanyekanye,
20kuze bantfu batewubona bati futsi,
bacabange bese bayacondza
kutsi sandla saSimakadze lesente loku,
nekutsi Longcwele waka-Israyeli ukudalile loku.”
Insayeya yaSimakadze kubonkulunkulu bemanga21Simakadze utsi:
“Bekani indzaba yenu.”
INkhosi yakaJakobe itsi:
“Khulumani kutsi niphika nitsini.”
22 Ngenisani tithico tenu
titesitjela kutsi kutakwentekani.
Tisitjele kutsi tintfo takucala kwakuyini,
kuze natsi siteticabanga sati siphetfo sato.
23Nome-ke nisitjele ngetintfo letitakwenteka,
nisitjele kutsi likusasa liphetseni,
kuze sitekwati kutsi nibonkulunkulu.
Ase nente lutfo, loluhle nome lolubi,
kuze sitewujabha sesabe.
24Kodvwa nibancane kabi kunelite,
nemisebenti yenu ilite nje.
Lowo lokhetsa nine unengekile.
25“Ngivuse longasenyakatfo, futsi uyeta
lomunye lophuma ngasemphumalanga lobita Libito lami.
Unyatsela etikwebabusi
kube shangatsi baludzaka nje,
kube shangatsi yena ungumbumbi nakanyatsela libumba.
26Ngubani lowase wakhuluma ngaloku
kusukela ekucaleni, kuze sitewukwati,
nome-ke kwasendvulo,
kuze natsi sitekusho sitsi: ‘Abecinisile’?
Kute lowase wasitjela ngaloku,
kute nalowakusho kungakenteki,
kute lowake weva emavi enu.
27Ngaba wekucala kutjela iSiyoni, ngatsi:
‘Bukani, naba!’
IJerusalema ngayipha sitfunywa setindzaba letimnandzi.
28Ngiyabuka, kodvwa kute namunye,
kute namunye emkhatsini wabo longeluleka,
kute longaphendvula nangibabuta.
29 Bukani la, bonkhe balite!
Tento tabo tilite;
titfombe tabo tingumoya nesiphitsiphitsi.”
