Yizwani nina mazulu, ngikhulume; futhi yizwa, mhlaba, amazwi omlomo wami.
Ukufundisa kwami kuyakuconsa njengemvula, inkulumo yami iconse njengamazolo, njengemvula etshanini nanjengezihlambi etshanini.
Ngokuba ngiyakumemezela igama likaJehova; mnikeni uNkulunkulu wethu ubukhulu.
Uyidwala, umsebenzi wakhe uphelele, ngokuba zonke izindlela zakhe ziwukulunga; uNkulunkulu weqiniso ongenabubi, ulungile, ulungile yena.
Babonakalisile, ibala labo alisilo ibala labantwana bakhe; bayisizukulwane esibi nesiphambeneyo.
Nimbuyisela kanje uJehova nina bantu abayiziwula nabangahlakaniphile na? Akusiye uyihlo okuthengileyo? Akanenzanga futhi wanimisa na?
Khumbulani izinsuku zasendulo, nibheke iminyaka yezizukulwane ngezizukulwane; buza uyihlo, uzakukutshela; abadala bakho, futhi bayokutshela.
Lapho oPhezukonke ehlukanisela izizwe ifa labo, lapho ehlukanisa abantwana bakwa-Adamu omunye nomunye, wamisa imingcele yabantu ngokwesibalo sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
Ngokuba isabelo sikaJehova singabantu bakhe; UJakobe uyisiphetho sefa lakhe.
Wamfumana ezweni eliyihlane nasehlane eliklabalasayo; wamyisa nxazonke, wamyala, wamlondoloza njengenhlamvu yeso lakhe.
Njengokhozi olunyakazisa isidleke salo, lundizela phezu kwamaphuphu alo, lwelule amaphiko alo, luwathathe, luwathwale ngamaphiko alo;
Kanjalo uJehova yedwa wamqondisa, kwakungekho nkulunkulu wezizweni kanye naye.
Wamkhwelisa ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba ukuba adle izithelo zensimu; wammunyisa uju lwedwala namafutha etsheni letshe;
Ibhotela lezinkomo, nobisi lwezimvu, kanye namafutha amawundlu, nezinqama zohlanga lwaseBashani, nezimbuzi, kanye namanoni ezinso zikakolweni; waphuza igazi lamagilebhisi elicwengekileyo.
Kodwa uJesuruni wakhuluphala wakhahlela; ukhuluphele, ukhuluphele, ukhuluphele; wayesemshiya uNkulunkulu owamenzayo, wadelela iDwala lensindiso yakhe.
Bamvusela umhawu ngonkulunkulu bezizweni, bamcunula ngezinengiso.
Bahlabela amadimoni, hatshi uNkulunkulu; konkulunkulu ababengabazi, konkulunkulu abasha abavukile, ababengabesabanga oyihlo.
Edwaleni elakuzalayo, awunakucatshangwa, ukhohlwe uNkulunkulu owakuzalayo.
UJehova ekubona lokho waba nengwa yibo ngenxa yokugconwa kwamadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe.
Wathi: “Ngiyakubafihlela ubuso bami, ngibone ukuthi ukuphela kwabo kuyakuba yini; ngoba bayisizukulwane esibi kakhulu, abantwana abangenakholo kubo.
Bangivusela umhawu ngokungesiye uNkulunkulu; bangiklolodele ngezinto zabo eziyize, futhi ngiyobenza babe nomhawu ngabangebona abantu; ngizabagcona ngesizwe esingelangqondo.
Ngokuba umlilo uphekiwe entukuthelweni yami, ushise uze ufike endaweni yabafileyo, uqede umhlaba nezithelo zawo, uthungele izisekelo zezintaba.
Ngizabuthela ububi phezu kwabo; ngiyakuchithela imicibisholo yami phezu kwabo.
Bayakushiswa yindlala, baqedwe ukushisa okushisayo nencithakalo ebabayo; ngiyakubathumelela amazinyo ezilwane, kanye nesihlungu sezinyoka zothuli.
Inkemba evela ngaphandle nokwesaba okuvela ngaphakathi kuyobhubhisa insizwa kanye nentombi, nosane kanye nendoda esempunga.
Ngathi: Ngiyakubahlakazela emagumbini, ngiqede ukukhunjulwa kwabo phakathi kwabantu.
Akukhona yini ukuthi ngesaba ulaka lwesitha, ukuthi izitha zabo zazingayikwenza isimangaliso, nokuthi zathi: ‘Isandla sethu siphakeme, futhi uJehova akenzanga konke lokhu.
Ngokuba bayisizwe esingenangqondo, akukho ukuqonda kubo.
O, ukube bebehlakaniphile, bakuqonde lokhu, bakuqaphele ukuphela kwabo;
Inkulungwane iyakubaleka kanjani, nezinkulungwane ezimbili eziyishumi zingabaleka, uma iDwala labo lingathengisanga ngabo, uJehova ebavalile na?
Ngokuba idwala labo alinjengeDwala lethu, nezitha zethu zingabahluleli.
Ngokuba umvini wabo ungowomvini waseSodoma nowamasimu aseGomora; izithelo zomvini zabo ziyizithelo zenyongo, amahlukuzo abo ayababa;
Iwayini labo liwubuthi bamakhanka nobuhlungu obunzima bamabululu.
Akubekelwanga yini kimi, kwabekwa uphawu phakathi kwengcebo yami na?
Impindiselo nokuphindisela kungokwami; unyawo lwabo luyokhubeka ngesikhathi esifanele, ngoba usuku lwenhlekelele yabo luseduze, futhi izinto ezibehlelayo ziyashesha.
Ngoba uJehova uyokwahlulela abantu bakhe futhi azisole ngezinceku zakhe lapho ebona ukuthi amandla azo aphelile, futhi akekho oboshiwe noma osele.
Futhi uyothi: Baphi onkulunkulu babo, idwala labo ababethembele kulo na?
Ababedla amanoni emihlatshelo yabo, bephuza iwayini leminikelo yabo yokuphuzwa na? mawasukume akusize abe isivikelo sakho.
Bhekani manje ukuthi ngiyilokhu nokuthi akakho unkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Ngiyabulala, ngiphilise; ngiyalimaza, ngipholise, akakho ongophula esandleni sami.
Ngoba ngiphakamisela isandla sami ezulwini ngithi: Ngiphila kuze kube nininini.
Lapho ngilola inkemba yami ebenyezelayo, nesandla sami sibambe ukwahlulela; ngiyakuziphindiselela ezitheni zami, ngiphindisele kwabangizondayo.
Ngiyakudakisa imicibisholo yami ngegazi, inkemba yami idle inyama; futhi lokhu ngegazi lababuleweyo kanye neziboshwa, kusukela ekuqaleni kokuphindisela esitheni.
Jabulani, O zizwe, kanye nabantu bakhe, ngokuba uyophindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe futhi aphindisele kwabamelene naye futhi abe nesihe ezweni lakhe nakubantu bakhe.
