Ukuphela sekufikile
1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: 2“Wena ndodana yomuntu, isho kanje iNkosi uJehova kulo izwe lakwa-Israyeli, ithi: Ukuphela! Ukuphela kufikile emagumbini omane ezwe. 3Ukuphela sekuphezu kwakho; ngiyakuthuma ukufutheka kwami, ngikwahlulele njengezindlela zakho, ngehlisele phezu kwakho zonke izinengiso zakho. 4Iso lami aliyikukuhawukela, ngingabi nabubele; ngiyakwehlisela izindlela zakho phezu kwakho, izinengiso zakho zibe phakathi kwakho; niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
5“Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ingozi! Ingozi inye nje! Bheka, iyeza. 6Ukuphela kuyeza; ukuphela kuyeza, kuyakwehlela; bheka, kuyeza! 7Sekufikile kuwe ohlala ezweni; isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lusondele, olokukhathazeka, kungesilo olokujabula ezintabeni. 8Manje sengiyakuthulula masinyane ukufutheka kwami phezu kwakho, ngifeze intukuthelo yami kuwe, ngikwahlulele njengezindlela zakho, ngehlisele phezu kwakho zonke izinengiso zakho. 9Iso lami aliyikuhawukela, ngingabi nabubele, ngehlisele phezu kwakho njengezindlela zakho, izinengiso zakho zibe phakathi kwakho, nazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngiyashaya.
10 “Bhekani usuku! Bhekani luyeza, sekuphezu kwakho; induku iyaqhakaza; ukuzidla kuyahluma. 11Ubudlova buyavuka, bube yintonga yokubi, kungasali muntu kubo nasesixukwini sabo, kungasali lutho emfuyweni yabo nasebukhosini babo. 12Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lusondele; umthengi makangathokozi, nomthengisi makangalili, ngokuba ukufutheka kuphezu kwaso sonke isixuku sabo. 13Ngokuba umthengisi akayikubuyela kokuthengisiweyo, nakuba esekhona phakathi kwabaphilayo, ngokuba umbono wesixuku sonke awuyikubuya, futhi akuyikubakho muntu ongabambelela ekuphileni ngenxa yobubi bakhe. 14Babethile icilongo, balungisile konke, kepha akakho ophuma impi, ngokuba ukufutheka kwami kuphezu kwaso sonke isixuku sabo.
15“Yinkemba ngaphandle, yisifo nendlala ngaphakathi; osensimini uyakufa ngenkemba, osemzini uyakuqedwa yindlala nesifo. 16 Abaphunyukileyo babo bayakuphunyuka, babe sezintabeni njengamajuba asezigodini, bakhale bonke, kube yilowo nalowo ngezono zakhe. 17 Zonke izandla ziyakudangala, nawo onke amadolo abe buthakathaka njengamanzi. 18 Bayakubhinca izindwangu zamasaka, uvalo lubasibekele, amahloni abe sebusweni bonke, nobumpandla kuwo onke amakhanda abo. 19 Bayakuphonsa isiliva labo ezitaladini, igolide labo libe yinto engcolileyo, isiliva labo negolide labo kungabi namandla okubophula ngosuku lwentukuthelo kaJehova; abayikusuthisa imiphefumulo yabo, bangagcwalisi izibilini zabo, ngokuba kade kuyisikhubekiso sobubi babo. 20 Ukukhazimula kwezimvunulo zakho bakubeka kwaba ngukuziqhenya, benza ngakho izithombe ezinengekayo nezizondekayo; ngalokho ngikwenzile kwaba yinto engcolileyo kubo. 21Ngiyakukunikela esandleni sabafokazi, kudliwe, nakwababi bomhlaba, kube yimpango, bakungcolise. 22Ngiyakufulathelisa ubuso bami kubo, balingcolise igugu lami, kungene kulo abaphangi, balingcolise.
23“Yenza iketanga, ngokuba izwe ligcwele amacala egazi, nomuzi ugcwele ubudlova. 24Ngiyakuletha izizwe ezimbi kakhulu, zidle izindlu zabo, ngiqede ukuzidla kwabanamandla, izindawo zabo ezingcwele zingcoliswe. 25Ukunqunywa kuyeza; bayakufuna ukuthula, kepha akuyikuba khona. 26 Ingozi iyakwelanywa yingozi, umbiko ulandele umbiko; bayakufuna umbono womprofethi, kepha umthetho uyakuphela kumpristi nesiluleko kuwo amalunga. 27Inkosi iyakulila, isikhulu siyakwembatha incithakalo, nezandla zabantu bezwe ziyakuhlushwa; ngiyakwenza kubo njengezindlela zabo, ngibahlulele njengezimfanelo zabo, bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.”
