UHabakuki 3:1-19

Umkhuleko womprofethi uHabakuki phezu kweShigiyoni. Jehova, ngizwile izwi lakho, ngesaba; Jehova, mawuphile umsebenzi wakho phakathi kweminyaka, wazise phakathi kweminyaka; olakeni khumbula umusa. UNkulunkulu uvela eThemani, oNgcwele evela entabeni yasePharanu. Sela. Inkazimulo yakhe yasibekela amazulu, futhi umhlaba ugcwele indumiso yakhe. Ukukhanya kwakhe kwakunjengokukhanya; kwaphuma izimpondo esandleni sakhe, futhi kwakukhona ukufihlakala kwamandla akhe. Isifo sahamba phambi kwakhe, namalahle avuthayo aphuma ezinyaweni zakhe. Wema walinganisa umhlaba; izintaba zaphakade zahlakazwa, amagquma aphakade akhothama; izindlela zakhe ziphakade. Ngabona amatende akwaKushani ecindezelwe, nezilenge zezwe lakwaMidiyani zithuthumela. UJehova wathukuthelela imifula na? Intukuthelo yakho yayiphezu kwemifula na? Intukuthelo yakho yayivuthela ulwandle, ukuthi ugibele amahhashi akho nezinqola zakho zokusindisa na? Umnsalo wakho unqunulwe ngokuphelele, njengesifungo sezizwe, yebo, nezwi lakho. Sela. Wahlukanisa umhlaba ngemifula. Izintaba zakubona, zathuthumela; isikhukhula samanzi sadlula; uZamcolo waphakamisa izwi lakhe, waphakamisa izandla zakhe phezulu. Ilanga nenyanga kwema endaweni yakho yokuhlala, ngokukhanya kwemicibisholo yakho yadlula ngokubenyezela komkhonto wakho. Udabule izwe ngokuthukuthela, ubhula izizwe ngolaka. Waphuma ukusindisa abantu bakho, yebo, ukusindisa kanye nogcotshiweyo wakho; Ulimele ikhanda endlini yomubi ngokuvula isisekelo kuze kufike entanyeni. Sela. Washaya inhloko yemizi yakhe ngezinduku zakho; njengesivunguvungu baphuma ukungihlakaza; ukujabula kwabo kwakunjengokudla abampofu ngasese. Wadabula ulwandle namahhashi akho, inqwaba yamanzi amaningi. Lapho ngizwa lokhu, isisu sami sathuthumela; izindebe zami zathuthumela ngezwi; ukubola kwangena emathanjeni ami, ngaqhaqhazela phakathi kwami, ukuze ngiphumule ngosuku losizi; Noma umkhiwane ungakhahleli, kungabikho sithelo emvinini; umsebenzi womnqumo uyophela, namasimu awayikuthela ukudla; imfuyo encane kufanele iqedwe esibayeni, futhi akufanele kube nezinkomo ezibayeni; Kepha mina ngiyakuthokoza ngoJehova, ngijabule kuNkulunkulu wensindiso yami. UJehova uNkulunkulu ungamandla ami, wenza izinyawo zami zibe njengezezindluzele, angihambise ezindaweni zami eziphakemeyo. Kumholi wokuhlabelela ngezinsimbi zami zomculo ezinezintambo.
