IZaga
30 Lo ngumlayezo oqakathekileyo osemazwini ka-Aguri indodana kaJakhe awutshela u-Ithiyeli lo-Ukhali.
2 Ebantwini bonke, yimi engingazi lutho,+
Angizizwisisi izinto okumele umuntu azizwisise.
3 Angikufundanga ukuhlakanipha,
Njalo angilalo ulwazi oluvela koNgcwele Kakhulu.
4 Ngubani oseke wenyukela ezulwini waphinda wehla?+
Ngubani oseke wabuthelela umoya ezandleni zakhe?
Ngubani oseke wagoqela amanzi ngesigqoko sakhe?+
Ngubani owamisa yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba?+
Lingubani ibizo lakhe kanye lelendodana yakhe—ngitshela nxa ukwazi?
5 Wonke amazwi kaNkulunkulu ahlanzekile.+
Ulihawu kulabo abaphephela kuye.+
7 Zimbili izinto engizicela kuwe.
Ungangincitshi zona ngingakafi.
8 Susa amanga lokungasiqiniso kube khatshana lami.+
Ungangenzi ngibe ngumyanga kumbe nginothe kakhulu.
Ngipha ukudla okungeneleyo kuphela,+
9 Ukuze ngingathi sengilento yonke ngikuphike ngithi, “Ungubani uJehova?”+
Ungangivumeli ngibe ngumyanga besengitshontsha, ngenze ibizo likaNkulunkulu wami lichothozwe.
11 Kulesizukulwane esithuka uyise,
Njalo kasimbusisi unina.+
12 Kulesizukulwane esizibona simsulwa+
Kodwa asizange sihlanjululwe ekungcoleni kwaso.
13 Kulesizukulwane esilamehlo azikhukhumeza kakhulu,
Amehlo aso akhanya eziphakamisa kakhulukazi.+
14 Kulesizukulwane esilamazinyo azinkemba,
Imihlathi yaso zingqamu zokubulala,
Sivodloza abantukazana emhlabeni
Kanye labayanga abaphakathi kwabantu.+
15 Imizoko ilamadodakazi amabili amemeza esithi, “Ngipha! Ngipha bo!”
Kulezinto ezintathu ezingasuthiyo,
Zine izinto ezingeke zithi, “Sekwanele!”
16 —Lingcwaba+ kanye lesibeletho sowesifazana oyinyumba,
Lelizwe elingelamanzi,
Lomlilo ongeke uthi, “Sekwanele!”
17 Ilihlo lomuntu ochothoza uyise njalo odelela lokho akutshelwa ngunina+
Lizakopolwa ngamawabayi ahlala esigodini,
Njalo lizadliwa ngabantwana benkozi.+
18 Kulezinto ezintathu ezingiphicayo,*
Njalo zine engingazizwisisiyo:
19 Indlela yokhozi emoyeni,
Indlela yenyoka edwaleni,
Indlela yomkhumbi elwandle,
Lendlela yejaha entombini.
20 Nansi indlela yowesifazana oyisifebe:*
Uyadla esule umlomo wakhe,
Abesesithi, “Akula lutho olubi engilwenzileyo.”+
21 Zintathu izinto ezenza umhlaba unyikinyeke
Zine ongeke umelane lazo:
22 Nxa isigqili singaba yinkosi;+
Nxa isiphukuphuku sidle sasutha nti!
23 Nxa owesifazana ozondwayo* angathola umendo,
Lentombi eyisisebenzi ingathathela owesifazana emsebenzelayo indawo.+
29 Kulezinto ezintathu ezihamba kamnandi,
Zine ezinyathela kamnandi:
30 Yisilwane, inyamazana elamandla ukwedlula ezinye,
Njalo engabalekeli loba ngubani,+
31 Lenja yokuzingela, lempongo,
Kanye lenkosi nxa ilebutho layo.
32 Nxa wenze ubuphukuphuku wazikhukhumeza,+
Kumbe nxa ubusufuna ukukwenza lokho,
Vala umlomo wakho ngesandla sakho.+
33 Njengoba nje ukuphehla uchago kukhipha ulaza,
Lokufithizela ikhala kukhipha umungula,
Ukuzondisa umuntu lakho kubangela ingxabano.+
