1 Vula iminyango yakho, wena Lebhanoni,
ukuze umlilo uqhunqise imisedari yakho!
2 Lila, wena sihlahla sephayini, ngoba imisedari isiwile;
ngoba izihlahla zobukhosi ziqhunqile!
Lilani, mi-okhi yaseBhashani;
igusu elivitshileyo selicakazelwe phansi!
3 Lalela ukulila kwabelusi;
amadlelo abo amahle asetshabalalisiwe!
Lalela ukubhonga kwezilwane;
ihlathi elihle leJodani liqhunqile!
Abelusi Ababili
4 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uNkulunkulu wami, uthi: “Sana emadlelweni umhlambi wezimvu zokuhlatshwa. 5 Abathengi bazo bayazihlaba bangajeziswa. Labo abazithengisayo bathi, ‘Makadunyiswe uThixo, senginothile!’ Abelusi bazo ngokwabo labo kabaziyekeli. 6 Ngoba kangisayikuba lozwelo ebantwini belizwe,” kutsho uThixo. “Ngulowo lalowo ngizamnikela kumakhelwane wakhe lenkosini yakhe. Bazalincindezela ilizwe, kodwa kangiyikubalamulela ezandleni zabo.”
7 Ngakho ngizafaka emadlelweni izimvu ezasezikhethelwe ukuya esilaheni, ikakhulu lezo ezaziphathwa kabuhlungu. Ngasengithatha ingwegwe ezimbili ngabiza enye ngokuthi nguThandeka kwathi enye ngathi nguNhlanganiso, ngasengizelusa izimvu. 8 Ngenyanga eyodwa ngaxotsha abelusi abathathu.
Izimvu zanengeka ngami, lami zangidina 9 ngathi, “Kangisayikuba ngumelusi wenu. Yekela efayo ife, lebhubhayo ibhubhe. Yekela lezo eziseleyo zidlane inyama yazo.”
10 Ngasengithatha ingwegwe yami ethiwa nguThandeka ngayephula, ngidiliza isivumelwano engangisenzile lezizwe zonke. 11 Sadilizwa ngalelolanga, yikho abadubekayo emhlambini ababengikhangele bakwazi ukuthi lokho kwakulilizwi likaThixo.
12 Ngabatshela ngathi, “Nxa libona kufanele, ngiphani iholo lami; nxa njalo kungenjalo, yekelani.” Yikho basebengiholisa inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu.
13 UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Iphosele kumbumbi,” imali engaka ababengilinganisele yona! Ngasengizithatha lezonhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu ngaziphosela kumbumbi wembiza endlini kaThixo.
14 Ngasengiqamula ingwegwe yami yesibili ethiwa nguNhlanganiso, ngiqamula ubuzalwane phakathi kukaJuda lo-Israyeli.
15 UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Thatha futhi izikhali zomelusi oyisithutha. 16 Ngoba ngizamisa umelusi welizwe leli ongezukunanza ngezilahlekileyo, angawadingi amazinyane, angawelaphi alimeleyo, angawaphi ukudla aphilayo, kodwa adle inyama yezinonileyo, adlithize lamangqina azo.
17 Maye kumelusi oyisithutha,
ohlamukela izifuyo!
Sengathi angadliwa yinkemba
igalele engalweni lelihlweni lakhe lakwesokunene!
Sengathi ingalo yakhe ingahle yome qha,
ilihlo lakhe langakwesokunene lihle life kokuphela!”
