1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: 2“Wena ndodana yomuntu, isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, ithi: Ukuphela, ukuphela kufikile emagumbini omane omhlaba. 3 Ukuphela kuyakuba phezu kwakho; , ngiyakuthuma ulaka lwami phezu kwakho, ngikwahlulele njengezindlela zakho; ngiyakubeka zonke izinengiso zakho phezu kwakho. 4 Iso lami aliyikukuthethelela, futhi angiyikukuhawukela; ngaphambi kokuba ngibeke izindlela zakho phezu kwakho, nezinengiso zakho zibe phakathi kwakho; + futhi niyokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
5 Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ububi, bheka, ububi buyeza. 6 Ukuphela kuyeza, ukuphela kuyeza; ikuvukele; bheka, kuyeza. 7 Ukusa kuyakufikela, wena owakhileyo emhlabeni; isikhathi siyeza, usuku luseduze; usuku lwesiphithiphithi, kungabi lwentokozo, phezu kwezintaba. 8 Manje ngiyakuthulula ulaka lwami phezu kwakho masinyane, ngigcwalise ukufutheka kwami kuwe, ngikwahlulele njengezindlela zakho; ngiyakubeka izinengiso zakho phezu kwakho. 9 Iso lami aliyikukuhawukela, angiyikuhawukela; njengezindlela zakho ngiyakubeka phezu kwakho, nezinengiso zakho zibe phakathi kwakho; nizokwazi ukuthi mina Jehova nginguye ojezisayo.
10 Bhekani usuku, bheka, luyeza; ekuseni ivukile; induku iqhakazile, ukuzidla kuqhakazile. 11 Ubudlova buphakame baba yinduku yobubi; akuyikubakho noyedwa kubo, noquqaba lwabo, akuyikubakho noyedwa kubo, olilayo phakathi kwabo. 12 Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku selufikile; Othengayo makangajabule, nothengisayo makangakhali, ngokuba ulaka luphezu kwesixuku sonke. 13 Ngokuba othengisayo akayikubuyela kulokho athengisiwe, noma esekhona; ngoba umbono wesixuku sonke awuyikuchithwa, nangenxa yobubi baso akakho oyokwazi ukuvikela ukuphila kwakhe.
14 Bazakubetha icilongo, balungise zonke izinto, kungabikho oya empini; ngokuba ulaka lwami luphezu kwesixuku sonke. 15 Ngaphandle kwenkemba, isifo esiwumshayabhuqe nendlala phakathi; Osendle uyakufa ngenkemba, nophakathi komuzi uyakuqedwa yindlala nesifo, omunye ngenxa yobubi bakhe. 17 Zonke izandla ziyakuba buthakathaka, nawo onke amadolo ayakuba buthakathaka njengamanzi. Futhi bayobhinca indwangu yesaka, futhi ukwesaba kuyobasibekela; amahloni ayakuba sebusweni bonke, namakhanda abo onke aphuce. 19 Isiliva labo bayakulahla ezitaladini, negolide labo lilahlwe kude; isiliva labo negolide labo ngeke libe namandla okubakhulula ngosuku lokufutheka kukaJehova; aziyikuwusuthisa umphefumulo wakhe, zingagcwalisi izibilini zakhe, ngokuba ube yisikhubekiso ebubini bakhe, eyisinengiso. ababi bezwe, futhi bayolingcolisa. ngoba abahlaseli bayongena kulo balingcolise.
23 Yenzani iketanga, ngokuba izwe ligcwele ubugebengu begazi, nomuzi ugcwele ubudlova.” 24 “Ngalokho ngiyakuletha ababi kunabo bonke bezizwe, badle izindlu zabo; ngiyakwenza ukuba ukuzidla kwabanamandla kuphele, nezindlu zabo ezingcwele zingcoliswe. 25 Ukubhujiswa kuyeza; bayakufuna ukuthula, kepha akuyikuba khona. bayakufuna impendulo kumprofethi, kepha umthetho uyakusuka kumpristi, nomkhandlu usuke kumalunga. 27 Inkosi iyakuzila, isikhulu sembathe ukudabuka, nezandla zabantu basezweni izwe liyozamazama; Ngiyakwenza kubo ngokwendlela yabo, ngibahlulele ngezahlulelo zabo; + futhi bayokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
