1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2Ndodana yomuntu, iJerusalema malazi izinengiso zalo,
3uthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova kulo iJerusalema; Ukuzalwa kwakho nozalo lwakho kuvela ezweni laseKhanani; uyihlo wayengumAmori, unyoko engumHeti.
4Ngokuqondene nokuzalwa kwakho, ngosuku owazalwa ngalo, inkaba yakho ayizange inqunywe, futhi awugezwanga ngamanzi ukuba wondle; ubungenawo nhlobo usawoti futhi ungabandakanyeki nhlobo.
5Alikho iso elikuyekile ukwenza noma iyiphi yalezi zinto kuwe ukuba libe nesihe kuwe; kodwa waphonswa ngaphandle endle, ngenxa yokunengeka kobuntu bakho, ngosuku owazalwa ngalo.
6Lapho ngidlula kuwe, ngakubona ungcolile ngegazi lakho, ngathi kuwe usegazini lakho: Phila! yebo, ngathi kuwe usegazini lakho: Phila!
7Ngakwenza wande njengembewu yasendle, wanda, wakhula, wafika emihlobeni emihle kakhulu;
8Lapho ngidlula kuwe, ngakubona, bheka, isikhathi sakho kwakuyisikhathi sothando; ngendlala ingubo yami phezu kwakho, ngembesa ubunqunu bakho; yebo, ngafunga kuwe, ngenza isivumelwano nawe, isho iNkosi uJehova, waba ngowami.
9Ngakugeza ngamanzi; yebo, ngigezisile igazi lakho kuwe, ngakugcoba ngamafutha.
10Ngakugqokisa izinto ezilukiweyo, ngakugqokisa izicathulo zezikhumba zamatahasi, ngakubhincisa ilineni elicolekileyo, ngakumboza ngosilika.
11Ngakuhlobisa ngezivunulo, ngakufaka amasongo ezandleni neketanga entanyeni yakho.
12Ngafaka itshe ebunzini lakho namacici ezindlebeni zakho nomqhele omuhle ekhanda lakho.
13Wawuhlotshiswe ngegolide nangesiliva; izingubo zakho zazingezelineni elicolekileyo, nosilika, nezelukiweyo; wadla impuphu ecolekileyo nezinyosi namafutha, wawumuhle kakhulu, waphumelela embusweni.
14Udumo lwakho lwaphumela ezizweni ngenxa yobuhle bakho, ngokuba bapheleliswa ngobuhle bami engabubeka phezu kwakho, isho iNkosi uJehova.
15Kodwa wethemba ebuhleni bakho, wafeba ngenxa yebizo lakho, wathululela ubufebe bakho phezu kwabo bonke abadlulayo; bekungeyakhe.
16Wathatha ezinye zezingubo zakho, wahlobisa izindawo zakho eziphakemeyo ngemibala eminingi, wafeba kuzo; izinto ezinjalo aziyikufika, futhi aziyikuba njalo.
17Wathatha nezinto zakho ezinhle egolideni lami nasesilivani lami engakunika lona, wazenzela izithombe zabantu, wafeba nazo.
18Wathatha izingubo zakho ezilukiweyo, wazimboza; wabeka amafutha ami nempepho yami phambi kwazo.
19Ukudla kwami engakunika khona, impuphu ecolekileyo, namafutha, nezinyosi, engakondla ngakho, wakunika khona, kube yiphunga elimnandi; kwaba njalo, isho iNkosi uJehova.
20Futhi wathatha amadodana akho namadodakazi akho owangizalela wona, wawanikela ukuba adliwe. Kuyinto encane yini ubufebe bakho,
21Ukuthi ubulele abantwana bami, wabanikela ukuba badabule bona ngokwabo emlilweni?
22Kuzo zonke izinengiso zakho nobufebe bakho awukhumbulanga izinsuku zobusha bakho, lapho wawunqunu, uyinyumba, ungcoliswe ngegazi lakho.
23Futhi lokhu kwenzeka ngemva kwabo bonke ububi bakho, maye, maye kini, isho iNkosi uJehova!
24ukuthi wazakhela indawo enhle kakhulu, wazenzela indawo ephakemeyo ezitaladini zonke.
25Wakha indawo ephakemeyo kuzo zonke izinhloko zemigwaqo, wenza ubuhle bakho baba yisinengiso, wavulela bonke abadlulayo izinyawo zakho, wandisa ubufebe bakho.
26Wafeba nabaseGibithe, abakhelwane bakho, abakhulu ngenyama; ngandisa ubufebe bakho ukuze ungicunule.
27Bheka, yingakho ngelulela isandla sami phezu kwakho, nganciphisa ukudla okudlayo, ngakunikela entandweni yabakuzondayo, amadodakazi amaFilisti anamahloni ngendlela yakho eyihlazo.
28Wafeba nama-Asiriya, ngokuba ungasuthi; yebo, wafeba nabo, nokho awuneliswanga.
29Futhi wandisa ubufebe bakho ezweni laseKhanani kuze kube seKaledi; nokho anigculisekanga ngakho.
30Yeka ukuthi inhliziyo yakho ibuthakathaka kangakanani, isho iNkosi uJehova, ngokuba wenza zonke lezi zinto, umsebenzi wesifebe esibusayo;
31Ngokwakha udumo lwakho emakhanda azo zonke izindlela, wenze ukuphakama kwakho kuzo zonke izitaladi; futhi awuzange ube njengesifebe ngokudelela inkokhelo;
32Kodwa njengowesifazana ophingayo, othatha izihambi esikhundleni sendoda yakhe!
33Zonke izifebe zinika izipho, kodwa wena upha zonke izithandwa zakho izipho zakho, uziqatshe, ukuze zize kuwe zivela nhlangothi zonke ngenxa yobufebe bakho.
34Futhi okuphambene nalokho kukini kwabanye besifazane ebufebeni benu, kuyilapho kungekho muntu onilandela ukuze aphinge;
35Ngakho, sifebe, yizwa izwi likaJehova.
36Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngenxa yokuthi ukungcola kwakho kuthululiwe, nobunqunu bakho sembulwe ngokuphinga kwakho nezithandwa zakho nangabo bonke onkulunkulu abangcolileyo bezinengiso zakho nangegazi labantwana bakho obanike lona;
37Ngakho-ke bheka, ngiyakubutha zonke izithandwa zakho, owajabula ngazo, nabo bonke owabathanda, kanye nabo bonke obazondayo; Futhi ngiyobabutha nxazonke kuwe futhi ngembule ubunqunu bakho kubo, ukuze babone lonke ihlazo lakho.
38Ngiyakunahlulela njengabesifazane abachitha umshado nabachitha igazi; ngiyakuninika igazi lokufutheka nokushisekela.
39Futhi ngiyokunikela esandleni sabo, futhi bayodiliza indawo yakho eyisiduli, badilize izindawo zakho eziphakemeyo; futhi bayokuhlubula izingubo zakho bakuthathele amagugu akho amahle bakushiye unqunu futhi obala.
40Futhi bayokuphakamisela isixuku futhi bakukhande ngamatshe futhi bakugwaze ngezinkemba zabo.
41Bayoshisa izindlu zakho ngomlilo, bakwenzele izijeziso phambi kwamehlo abesifazane abaningi; futhi ngiyokwenza ukuba uyeke ubufebe, futhi ungase ungabe usanikeza inkokhelo.
42Khona ngizakwehlisela ulaka lwami kuwe, lokutshiseka kwami kusuke kuwe, ngithule ngingabe ngisathukuthela.
43Ngokuba awukhumbulanga izinsuku zobusha bakho, kepha wangikhathaza kukho konke lokho; bheka, ngiyakubeka indlela yakho phezu kwekhanda lakho, isho iNkosi uJehova; futhi akumelwe wenze lesi senzo esiyihlazo ngaphezu kwazo zonke izinengiso zakho.
44Bheka, bonke abasebenzisa izaga mabasebenzise lesi saga ngawe, bathi: ‘Njengonina, injalo indodakazi yakhe.
45Wena uyindodakazi kanyoko, ozonda umyeni wakhe nabantwana bakhe; wena ungudade wabodadewenu ababezonda abayeni babo nabantwana babo; unyoko wayengumHeti, uyihlo engumAmori.
46Udadewenu omkhulu uyiSamariya namadodakazi alo ahlala ngakwesobunxele sakho; udadewenu omncane ohlala ngakwesokunene sakho yiSodoma namadodakazi ayo.
47Kodwa awuhambanga ngezindlela zabo, awenzanga njengezinengiso zabo, kepha kwaba sengathi kuyinto encane kakhulu, wonakala kunabo ezindleleni zakho zonke.
48Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, iSodoma udadewenu akenzanga, lona namadodakazi alo, njengalokho wenzile, wena namadodakazi akho.
49Bheka, lobu yibubi bukadadewenu iSodoma;
50Futhi babezidla futhi benza izinengiso phambi kwami; ngakho ngazisusa ngokubona kwami.
51NeSamariya alenzanga ingxenye yezono zakho; kepha wena wandisa izinengiso zakho kunabo, walungisisa odadewenu kuzo zonke izinengiso zakho ozenzileyo.
52Nawe owahlulela odadewenu, thwala ihlazo lakho ngezono zakho ozenze okubi kakhulu kunabo; bahle kunawe; osisi.
53Lapho ngibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo, ukuthunjwa kweSodoma lamadodakazi ayo, lokuthunjwa kweSamariya lamadodakazi ayo, ngizabuyisela ukuthunjwa kwabathunjwa bakho phakathi kwabo.
54Ukuze uthwale ihlazo lakho, ube lenhloni kukho konke okwenzileyo, ngoba uyinduduzo kibo.
55Lapho odadewenu, iSodoma namadodakazi alo, sebebuyela ezweni lakubo lakuqala, neSamariya namadodakazi alo ebuyela ezweni lakubo lakuqala, wena namadodakazi akho niyobuyela ezweni lakini.
56Ngokuba iSodoma udadewenu ayiphathwanga emlonyeni wakho ngosuku lokuzidla kwakho,
57Bungakabonakali ububi bakho, njengasesikhathini sokuhlanjalazwa kwakho amadodakazi ase-Aramu nabo bonke abayihaqayo, amadodakazi amaFilisti, ayekudelela nxazonke.
58Uthwale ihlazo lakho nezinengiso zakho,” usho uJehova.
59Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngiyakwenza kuwe njengalokho okwenzileyo, odelele isifungo ngokwephula isivumelwano.
60Kepha mina ngiyakukhumbula isivumelwano sami nawe ezinsukwini zobusha bakho, ngikumisele isivumelwano esiphakade.
61Khona-ke uyozikhumbula izindlela zakho futhi ube namahloni, uma wamukela odadewenu, abadala bakho nabancane bakho; ngizakunika bona babe ngamadodakazi, kodwa kungeyisikho ngesivumelwano sakho.
62Ngizamisa isivumelwano sami lani; nizokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
63Ukuze ucabange, ume unamahloni, ungabe usavula umlomo wakho ngenxa yehlazo lakho, uma ngibuyisana nawe ngakho konke okwenzileyo, isho iNkosi uJehova.
