1 Ngizakuma esilindweni sami
ngime phezu komthangala;
ngizakhangela ukuba ngibone ukuthi uzakuthini kimi,
lokuthi yimpendulo bani engizayitsho ngale insolo.
Impendulo KaThixo
2 UThixo waphendula wathi:
“Loba phansi isibonakaliso
usenze sicace ezicecedwini
ukuze isithunywa sigijime laso.
3 Ngoba isibonakaliso silindela isikhathi esimisiweyo;
sikhuluma ngesiphetho
njalo kasiyikuba ngamanga.
Lanxa siphuza, silindele;
sizafika impela
njalo kasiyikuphuza.
4 Khangela, uyazigqaja;
izifiso zakhe kazilunganga,
kodwa olungileyo uzaphila ngokholo lwakhe.
5 Impela iwayini liyamkhohlisa;
uyazikhukhumeza njalo kalakho ukuphumula.
Ngoba uyisihwaba njengengcwaba,
njalo kasuthi njengokufa,
ubuthelela izizwe zonke kuye
athumbe labantu bonke.
6 Bonke kabayikumchothoza na bamhleke besithi,
‘Maye kulowo obuthelela impahla zokwebiwa
azinothise ngobugebenga!
Koze kube nini lokhu kusenzakala na?’
7 Labo olezikwelede kubo kabayikukujuma na?
Kabayikuvuka bakuthuthumelise na?
Lapho-ke uzakuba yinto yabo yokuhlutshwa.
8 Ngoba sewaphanga izizwe ezinengi,
abantu abaseleyo bazakuphanga
ngoba wachitha igazi labantu;
watshabalalisa amazwe lamadolobho labo bonke abakuwo.
9 Maye kulowo obumba umbuso ngenzuzo embi
ukuba akhele isidleke sakhe phezulu
ukuba abalekele ukuwelwa yingozi!
10 Ucebe ukubhujiswa kwabantu abanengi,
wayangisa indlu yakho, walahlekelwa yikuphila kwakho.
11 Amatshe omduli azakhala
imijabo yamapulanka izasabela.
12 Maye kulowo owakha idolobho ngokuchitha igazi
akhe umuzi ngobudlwangudlwangu.
13 UThixo uSomandla kakumisanga na
ukuthi umsebenzi uzinkuni zomlilo nje kuphela,
lokuthi izizwe ziqeda amandla azo ngeze?
14 Ngoba umhlaba uzagcwala ngolwazi lodumo lukaThixo,
njengamanzi egcwalisa ulwandle.
15 Maye kulowo onika omakhelwane bakhe
okunathwayo ekuthulula
esigujini sewayini badakwe,
ukuze akhangele imizimba yabo enqunu.
16 Uzakuba lehlazo elikhulu endaweni yodumo.
Khathesi sekulithuba lakho! Natha uchayeke.
Inkezo yesandla sokunene kaThixo iyeza kuwe,
ihlazo lizamboza udumo lwakho.
17 Udlakela olwenze eLebhanoni luzakuqeda amandla,
lokubulala kwakho izinyamazana kuzakuthuthumelisa.
Ngoba uchithe igazi labantu;
uchithe amazwe lamadolobho labo bonke abakuwo.
18 Silosizo bani isithombe njengoba sibazwe ngumuntu?
Kumbe isifanekiso esifundisa amanga?
Ngoba lowo osenzayo uthemba isidalwa sakhe;
wenza izithombe ezingeke zikhulume.
19 Maye kulowo othi esigodweni, ‘Vuka uphile!’
loba athi elitsheni elingaphiliyo, ‘Phaphama!’
Linganika iseluleko na?
Lembeswe ngegolide langesiliva,
akulamphefumulo phakathi kwalo.”
20 Kodwa uThixo usethempelini lakhe elingcwele;
umhlaba wonke kawuthule phambi kwakhe.
