“Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu weliciniso, wena unguNkulunkulu lomkhulu nalowesabekako, uyasigcina sivumelwane sakho futsi ubakhombisa lutsandvo lolucotfo+ labo labakutsandzako nalabagcina imitsetfo yakho.+ 5 Kodvwa tsine sonile, sente lokubi, sente tintfo letingakalungi futsi sikuvukele;+ asikayilaleli imitsetfo yakho nemiyalo yakho. 6 Asikatilaleli tinceku takho letibaphrofethi,+ letakhuluma egameni lakho, takhuluma nemakhosi etfu, baholi betfu, bokhokho betfu, kanye nabo bonkhe bantfu labaseveni letfu. 7 Awu Jehova, wena ulungile, kodvwa tsine sihlazekile,* njengobe kunjalo nalamuhla. Bantfu bakaJuda, nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli, nalabo labahlala eJerusalema, nabo bahlazekile, ngobe bonkhe ubahlakatele etindzaweni letidvutane naletikhashane ngenca yekungetsembeki kwabo.+

8 “Awu Jehova, tsine nebaholi betfu, nemakhosi etfu, kanye nabokhokho betfu, sihlazekile* ngobe sonile kuwe. 9 Wena Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu uyatsetselela futsi unemusa,+ kodvwa tsine sikuvukele.+ 10 Asikalilaleli livi lakho Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu, asizange siyigcine imitsetfo yakho lowasinika yona usebentisa tinceku takho letibaphrofethi.+ 11 Onkhe ema-Israyeli awephulile uMtsetfo wakho, akushiya ngekutsi angalilaleli livi lakho. Ngako-ke wasehlisela sicalekiso lesibhalwe eMtsetfweni waMosi inceku yaNkulunkulu weliciniso,+ ngenca yekutsi sonile kuye. 12 Yena ukwentile loko latsi utakwenta kitsi+ nakubabusi betfu, wasehlisela inhlekelele lenkhulu. Emhlabeni wonkhe, ayizange seyenteke intfo lefana nalena leyenteke eJerusalema.+ 13 Nanobe seyisehlele yonkhe lenhlekelele lebhalwe eMtsetfweni waMosi,+ kodvwa solo asikakuceli wena Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu kutsi usentele umusa, ngekutsi siphendvuke etonweni tetfu+ futsi sati kutsi wena uneliciniso.*

14 “Ngako wena Jehova wachubeka ulindzile futsi wasehlisela lenhlekelele, ngobe konkhe lokwentako wena Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu kulungile; kepha tsine asikalilaleli livi lakho.+

15 “Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu, wena lowakhipha bantfu bakho eGibhithe ngesandla lesinemandla+ futsi watakhela ligama lelisakhunjulwa ngisho nalamuhla,+ tsine sonile kuwe futsi senta lokubi. 16 Awu Jehova, wena uhlale wenta lokulungile,+ sicela umane ususe intfukutselo yakho edolobheni lakho laseJerusalema, leliyintsaba yakho lengcwele; ngobe ngenca yetono tetfu kanye nemaphutsa abokhokho betfu, bonkhe bantfu labakhelene natsi bahlekisa ngeJerusalema nangebantfu bakho.+ 17 Awu Nkulunkulu wetfu, ngicela ulalele umthantazo wami mine nceku yakho, ulalele neticelo tami. Ngenca yelibito lakho Jehova, mane uyentele umusa indzawo yakho lengcwele+ leseyisele ingenalutfo.+ 18 Awu Nkulunkulu wami, naka futsi ulalele. Vula emehlo akho ubone kuhlupheka kwetfu, ubone nekutsi lelidolobha lebelibitwa ngelibito lakho selisele lingenalutfo; sikucela ngobe wena unguNkulunkulu lonemusa lomkhulu, hhayi ngobe tsine sitibona silungile.+ 19 Awu Jehova silalele. Awu Jehova sitsetselele.+ Sicela usinake futsi usisite Jehova! Ungephutisi Nkulunkulu wami, mane wentele libito lakho, ngobe lelidolobha lakho libitwa ngelibito lakho, futsi nalabantfu bakho babitwa ngalo.”+

20 Ngatsi ngisakhuluma, ngisathantaza futsi ngivuma sono sami kanye nesono sema-Israyeli futsi ngicela Jehova Nkulunkulu wami kutsi ayentele umusa intsaba yakhe lengcwele,+ 21 ngisesekhatsi nje nemthantazo, lendvodza lenguGabhriyeli+ lebengike ngayibona embonweni lowendlulile+ yefika kimi ngidzinwe kakhulu, futsi bekusikhatsi semnikelo wakusihlwa. 22 Yangichazela yatsi:

“Awu Danyela, ngitele kutokuniketa lwati nekucondza. 23 Ngesikhatsi ucala kuthantaza uncenga, mine ngitfole umlayeto kuNkulunkulu futsi nyalo sengite kutokutjela wona, ngobe wena uligugu kakhulu.*+ Ngako cabangisisa ngaloku lengitakutjela kona futsi ucondze lombono.

24 “Kunemaviki* langu-70 lamiselwe bantfu bakini nelidolobha lakini lelingcwele,+ kuze kucedvwe bubi, kucedvwe sono,+ kutsetselelwe emaphutsa,+ kuletfwe kulunga lokutawuhlala njalo,+ kucinisekiswe kutsi lemibono naletiphrofetho*+ tiliciniso, futsi iNgcwelengcwele inikelwe* kuNkulunkulu. 25 Kufanele ucondze futsi wati kutsi kusukela nakuphuma umyalo wekutsi kuvusetelwe iJerusalema+ futsi yakhiwe kabusha kuze kube ngulapho kufika Mesiya*+ longuMholi,+ kutawuba ngemaviki langu-7 kanye nemaviki langu-62.+ IJerusalema itawuvusetelwa futsi yakhiwe kabusha, ibe nemakethe futsi kugujwe nemsele, kodvwa loku kutawenteka ngesikhatsi sekucindzeteleka.

26 “Ngemuva kwalamaviki langu-62, Mesiya utawubulawa,+ futsi kute kwakhe lokutawusala.+

“Libutfo lemholi lotako litawubhubhisa lelidolobha kanye nendzawo lengcwele.+ Siphetfo sayo sitawufika njengesikhukhula. Kutawuba nemphi kuze kube sekugcineni; Nkulunkulu sewuncumile kutsi kutawuba nembhubhiso.+

27 “Ngenca yebantfu labanyenti, utawugcina* sivumelwane sisebenta liviki linye; kodvwa ehhafini yalelo viki utawucedza imihlatjelo neminikelo.+

“Loyo lobhubhisako utawuta aseluphikweni lwetintfo letenyanyekako;+ futsi loko lokuncunyiwe kutawutfululelwa kuloyo losele yedvwa kuze kube ngulapho acotfulwa.”
