7 Livi laJehova laphindze lefika kimi latsi: 2 “Ndvodzana yemuntfu, naku iNkhosi Lephakeme Jehova lekushoko eveni laka-Israyeli: ‘Kuphela! Kuphela sekufikile emagumbini lamane alelive. 3 Kuphela sekunifikele futsi intfukutselo yami ngitayitfululela kini. Ngitanehlulela kuye ngetindlela tenu futsi nginente nilandzise ngenca yato tonkhe tento letenyanyekako lenitentile. 4 Angeke nginivele buhlungu;* angeke nginihawukele+ ngobe ngitaniletsela imiphumela yetindlela tenu futsi nitawubhekana nemiphumela yetento tenu letenyanyekako.+ Nine nitawukwati kutsi mine nginguJehova.’+
5 “INkhosi Lephakeme Jehova itsi: ‘Kunenhlekelele, kunenhlekelele letako leningazange seniyibone.+ 6 Kuphela kuyeta; kuphela kutawufika; kutanifikela* ngekushesha. Kuyeta. 7 Sikhatsi* senu sesifikile, nine lenihlala kulelive. Sikhatsi siyeta, lilanga selisondzele.+ Kunekudideka etintsabeni, hhayi umsindvo wenjabulo.
8 “‘Ngekushesha ngitawutfululela intfukutselo yami kini+ futsi ngitawukhiphela lonkhe lulaka lwami kini.+ Ngitanehlulela kuye ngetindlela tenu futsi nginente nilandzise ngenca yato tonkhe tento tenu letenyanyekako. 9 Angeke nginivele buhlungu; angeke nginihawukele.+ Ngitaniletsela imiphumela yetindlela tenu futsi nitawubhekana nemiphumela yetento tenu letenyanyekako. Nitawukwati kutsi mine Jehova, ngimi lonijezisako.+
10 “‘Lelilanga liyeta! Selisondzele!+ Sikhatsi* senu sesifikile; indvuku seyichakazile futsi kutetsemba kakhulu sekuhlumile. 11 Budlova sebukhule baba yindvuku yebubi.+ Angeke basindze bona kanye nemcebo wabo, neticumbi tabo, nekwatiwa kwabo. 12 Sikhatsi sitawufika, lelilanga litawufika. Umtsengi akangajabuli, nalotsengisako akangalili ngobe kunelulaka lolufikele sonkhe lesicumbi sabo.*+ 13 Umtsengi ngeke abuyele endzaweni yakhe layitsengisile ngisho nome imphilo yakhe ingasindza, ngobe lombono umelene naso sonkhe lesicumbi. Kute lotawubuya, futsi ngenca yeliphutsa lakhe* kute lotawuphephisa imphilo yakhe.
14 “‘Bashaye licilongo+ futsi wonkhe muntfu sewukulungele kuya emphini kodvwa kute loya khona ngobe lulaka lwami lumelene naso sonkhe lesicumbi.+ 15 Inkemba ingephandle+ futsi sifo lesibulalako nendlala kungekhatsi. Nome ngubani longephandle utawubulawa ngenkemba futsi indlala nesifo lesibulalako kutawutfola labo labasedolobheni.+ 16 Labatawukhona kuphunyula batawubalekela etintsabeni njengematuba asetihosheni, ngamunye wabo utawulila ngenca yesono sakhe.+ 17 Tandla tabo titawucega, nemadvolo abo agelete emanti.*+ 18 Bagcoke tindvwangu temasaka+ futsi bachachateliswa* kwesaba. Bonkhe batawuhlazeka futsi bonkhe batawuba nemphandla.*+
19 “‘Bayawulahla lisiliva labo etitaladini futsi ligolide labo liyawuba yintfo leyenyanyekako kubo. Ligolide nelisiliva labo angeke kubasindzise ngelilanga lentfukutselo yaJehova.+ Angeke kubesutsise futsi angeke kukhone kugcwalisa tisu tabo ngobe kuyawube* sekusikhubekiso lesibangela kutsi bone. 20 Bebatigabatisa ngebuhle bemihlobiso yabo futsi bakha ngayo* titfombe tabo letenyanyekako, lokutithico tabo letenyanyekako.+ Kungako ngitayenta ibe yintfo leyenyanyekako kubo. 21 Ngiyawulinikela* esandleni sebantfu bakulamanye emave kutsi batitsatsele lona, ngilinikele kubantfu lababi bemhlaba futsi bataliphatsa kabi.
22 “‘Ngitabukhweshisa buso bami kubo+ futsi batawuhlambalata indzawo yami lesekusitsekeni,* netigebengu titawungena kuyo tiyedzelele.+
23 “‘Yakha luketane*+ ngobe bantfu bafa ngenca yekungehlulelwa kahle kulelive+ futsi lelidolobha ligcwele budlova.+ 24 Ngitawuletsa sive lesibi kakhulu+ futsi sitawutsatsa tindlu tabo,+ ngitawucedza umgcabho webantfu labanemandla futsi tindzawo tabo letingcwele titawedzelelwa.+ 25 Kutawutsi nakufika lusizi lwabo, batawufuna kuthula kodvwa angeke bakutfole.+ 26 Kutawufika inhlekelele ngemuva kwalenye nembiko ngemuva kwalomunye, futsi bantfu batawufuna umbono kumphrofethi,+ kodvwa umtsetfo* utawushabalala kumphristi neseluleko sishabalale emadvodzeni lamadzala.+ 27 Inkhosi iyawulila,+ tikhulu titawudvumala,* futsi tandla tebantfu bakulelive titawuchachatela ngenca yekwesaba. Ngitawubaphatsa ngendlela labenta ngayo futsi ngitabehlulela ngendlela nabo labehlulele ngayo. Bayawukwati kutsi mine nginguJehova.’”+
