Yabonani, amazulu, nezulu lawo amazulu, alilingani; iyakuba njani na le ndlu ndiyakhileyo? 19Ke kaloku, Yehova Thixo wam, wuphulaphule umthandazo womkhonzi wakho nomthandazo wakhe, ukuze umamele isikhalo nomthandazo awuthandazayo umkhonzi wakho phambi kwakho; 20ukuze amehlo akho avuleke imini nobusuku ngokuphathelele le ndlu, kwindawo othe uya kulimisa kuyo igama lakho; uphulaphule umthandazo athandaza ngawo umkhonzi wakho kule ndawo. 21Phulaphula izicelo zomkhonzi wakho, nezicelo zabantu bakho amaSirayeli, abaya kuzicela kule ndawo; yiva umkhosi wakho, wena usemazulwini; xa uthe weva, xolela; 22Xa athe ubani wona ummelwane wakhe, wafunga kuye, wamfungela, kwaza kwafika isifungo phambi kwesibingelelo sakho kule ndlu; 23yivani ke emazulwini, nenze, nigwebe kubakhonzi benu, nimbuyise ongendawo, niyibuyisele indlela yakhe entlokweni yakhe; ngokugwebela ilungisa, umnike ubulungisa bakhe. 24Ukuba bathe abantu bakho amaSirayeli bakhweletela iintshaba zabo, kuba bekonile; abaya kubuya bedumisa igama lakho, bethandaza, bethandaza kuwe bekule ndlu; 25Ke kaloku yiva usemazulwini, usixolele isono sabantu bakho amaSirayeli, ubabuyisele kwilizwe owabanika lona nookhokho babo. 26Lakuvaleka izulu, akwabakho mvula, ngokuba bakona; kwaye ukuba bayathandaza kule ndawo baze balivume igama lakho kwaye baguquke kwisono sabo ukuba uyabacinezela; 27yiva ke wena emazulwini, usixolele isono sabakhonzi bakho, nabantu bakho amaSirayeli, ngokuba ubafundise indlela elungileyo abaya kuhamba ngayo; uze unise imvula ezweni lakho olinike abantu bakho njengelifa. 28Ukuba kuthe kwakho indlala elizweni, xa kuthe kwakho isibetho, xa kuthe kwakho umlilo okanye ukungunda, iinkumbi okanye iinkumbi; Xa iintshaba zawo ziwarhawula emizini yawo; nayiphi na intlungu okanye ukufa okunokuthi kwenzeke: 29Nakuphi na ukuthandaza nokuthandaza kuye nawuphi na umntu, nokuba ngabantu bakho bonke amaSirayeli, xa baya kwazi elowo intlungu yakhe nentlungu yakhe, aze azolule izandla zakhe endlwini; 30Ke kaloku yiva usemazulwini, kwindawo ohlala kuyo, uxolele yaye ubuyekeze wonk’ ubani ngokweendlela zakhe zonke, ontliziyo ikwaziyo wena; Ngokuba uyazazi iintliziyo zoonyana babantu; 31ukuze bakoyike, bahambe ngeendlela zakho, yonke imihla yobomi babo, emhlabeni owawunika oobawo. 32Ngaphezu koko, ngokuphathelele owasemzini ongengowesizwe sakho amaSirayeli, kodwa oweza evela kwilizwe elikude ngenxa yegama lakho elikhulu nangesandla sakho esomeleleyo nangesandla sakho esithe ngqo; beza kuthandaza kule ndlu; 33Yivani ngoko usemazulwini, apho uhlala khona, wenze njengoko wabiza ngako owasemzini; ukuze zonke iintlanga zehlabathi zilazi igama lakho, zikoyike, njengabantu bakho amaSirayeli, ukuze zazi ukuba lisahlala likhankanywa igama lakho phezu kwale ndlu ndiyakhileyo. 34Xa bathe abantu bakho balwa neentshaba zabo ngendlela obathuma kuyo, bathandaza kuwe bebhekisa kulo mzi uwunyulileyo, nakule ndlu ndiyakhele igama lakho; 35Yiva usemazulwini umthandazo wabo nokutarhuzisa kwabo, ubamele endaweni yabo. 36Ukuba bathe bakona kuwe (ngenxa yokuba kungekho bani ungoniyo), wacaphuka waza wabanikela esandleni seentshaba zabo, babathimba babasa kwilizwe elikude okanye elikufuphi; 37Bakukhumbula oko ezweni ababethinjelwe kulo, baguquka, bathandaza kuwe ezweni lokuthinjwa kwabo, besithi, Sihlulekile, senze ububi, senze ububi; 38ukuba babuyela kuwe ngentliziyo yabo yonke, nangomphefumlo wabo wonke, bevela kwelo zwe bathinjelwe kulo, bathandaza bebhekisa ezweni labo owalinika ooyise, nakulo umzi owawunika ooyise; ndiyinyule yona, nendlu endayakhela igama lakho; 39Ke kaloku yiva usemazulwini, ewe, kwindawo ohlala kuyo, umthandazo wabo nezibongozo zabo, uze ubalinde, ubaxolele abantu bakho abakonileyo. 40Kaloku, Thixo wam, makavuleke amehlo akho, iindlebe zakho ziwuphulaphule umthandazo owenziwa kule ndawo. 41Kaloku, Yehova Thixo, yima endaweni yokuphumla kwakho, wena netyeya yamandla akho; ababingeleli bakho, Yehova, Thixo, mabambathe usindiso, badle okulungileyo abo ubathandayo. 42Yehova Thixo, musa ukutyeka ebusweni bomthanjiswa wakho; khumbula inceba kaDavide, umkhonzi wakho.
