Ukunxusa Kwabomileyo
1 “Wozani, lonke lina abomileyo,
wozani emanzini,
lani lina elingelamali,
wozani, lithenge, lidle!
Wozani, thengani iwayini lochago
ingekho imali lendleko.
2 Lichithelani imali kokungasikho kudla,
lokusebenza kwenu kulokho okungasuthisiyo na?
Lalelani, lalelani kimi, lidle okuhle,
umoya wenu uzathokoziswa yizibiliboco.
3 Lalelani, lize kimi;
lingilalele ukuze umphefumulo wenu uphile.
Ngizakwenza isivumelwano esingapheliyo lani,
uthando lwami oluqotho olwathenjiswa uDavida.
4 Khangelani, ngimenze waba ngufakazi ebantwini,
umkhokheli lomlawuli wabantu.
5 Ngeqiniso lizabiza izizwe elingazaziyo,
lezizwe ezingalaziyo zizagijimela kini,
ngenxa kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu,
oNgcwele ka-Israyeli,
ngoba uselinike inkazimulo.”
6 Mdingeni uThixo esatholakala,
mbizeni eseseduzane.
7 Omubi kayekele indlela yakhe
loxhwalileyo alahle imicabango yakhe.
Kaphendukele kuThixo, uzakuba lesihawu kuye,
lakuNkulunkulu wethu ngoba uzamthethelela ngesihle.
8 “Ngoba imicabango yami kayisiyo eyenu,
lezindlela zenu kayisizo ezami,”
kutsho uThixo.
9 “Njengomkhathi uphakeme kulomhlaba,
ngokunjalo izindlela zami ziphakeme kulezindlela zenu,
lemicabango yami iphakeme kulemicabango yenu.
10 Njengoba izulu longqwaqwane
kusehla kuvela phezulu,
kungaphindi kubuyele khonale
kungathambisanga umhlaba
kuwenze ununkule ube lamahlumela,
ukuze unike umhlanyeli inhlanyelo, lodlayo umnike ukudla,
11 linjalo lelizwi lami eliphuma emlonyeni wami:
kaliyikubuya kimi lize,
kodwa lizafeza engikufunayo
liphumelelise lokho engilithume khona.
12 Lina lizaphuma ngokuthokoza
likhokhelwe ngokuthula;
izintaba lamaqaqa
kuzasusa ingoma phambi kwenu,
njalo zonke izihlahla zeganga
zizaqakeza izandla zazo.
13 Endaweni yesihlahla sameva kuzamila iphayini,
lendaweni yokhula kuzamila isihlahla somithili.
Lokhu kuzakwenza uThixo adunyiswe,
kube yisibonakaliso esingapheliyo,
esingayikudilizwa.”
