5 Ase ngihlabele, ngihlabelele lengimtsandzako
Ngihlabele ingoma lemayelana nalengimtsandzako kanye nensimu yakhe yemagilebisi.+
Lengimtsandzako bekanensimu yemagilebisi egcumeni lelivundzile.
2 Wayilima wase ususa ematje lebekakuyo.
Wahlanyela emagilebisi labovu elikhetselo,
Wakha umbhoshongo emkhatsini wayo,
Futsi walungisa kahle litje lekuhlutela liwayini kuyo.+
Bekasolo anelitsemba lekutsi itawukhicita emagilebisi,
Kodvwa yona yatsela emagilebisi esiganga.+
3 “Bantfu baseJerusalema nani madvodza akaJuda,
Ngicela nikhiphe sehlulelo emkhatsini wami nensimu yami yemagilebisi.+
4 Yini lenye lebengingayentela lensimu yami yemagilebisi
Lengisengakayenti nyalo?+
Kwentiwe yini-ke lokutsi ngalesikhatsi nginelitsemba lekutfola emagilebisi,
Yona itsele emagilebisi esiganga?
5 Nyalo ngicela kunitjela
Naku lengitakwenta kulensimu yami yemagilebisi:
Ngitawususa lutsango lwayo,
Futsi lutawushiswa lungcongce.+
Ngitawubhidlita lubondza lwayo lwematje,
Futsi itawunyatselwa.
6 Ngitayenta ibe yindzawo lengenamsebenti;+
Angeke itsenwe nobe ihlakulwe.
Itawugcwala umena wetihlahla temanyeva nelukhula,+
Futsi ngitawutjela emafu kutsi angayinisi imvula kuyo.+
7 Ngobe insimu yemagilebisi yaJehova wemabutfo yindlu yaka-Israyeli;+
Bantfu bakaJuda bayinsimu lebekayitsandza.
Bekasolo alangatelela kutsi bantfu behlulele kahle,+
Kodvwa bona bebangehlulelani kahle;
Walangatelela kulunga,
Kodvwa kwaba nekukhala ngenca yelusizi.”+
8 Maye kulabo labatsatsa tindlu letinyenti+
Nakulabo labatsatsa emasimu lamanyenti+
Kuze kube bete lokusalela labanye,
Bese bahlala bodvwa eveni!
9 Jehova wemabutfo ufungile etindlebeni tami
Kutsi tindlu letinyenti, ngisho nome titinkhulu futsi titinhle,
Titawuba yintfo leyetfusako,
Kungasahlali muntfu+ kuto.
10 Ngobe insimu lenkhulu* yemagilebisi itawukhicita sivuno lesingemalitha langu-22* nje kuphela,
Nenhlanyelo lengemalitha langu-220* itawukhicita sivuno lesingemalitha langu-22.*+
11 Maye kulabo labavuka lokwa ekuseni bayonatsa tjwala,+
Labo labahlala kuze kube sebusuku kakhulu baze badzakwe liwayini bangasalawuleki!
12 Baphetse lihabhu netinsimbi temculo letinetintsambo,
Ithamborine, umntjingo neliwayini;
Kodvwa abanendzaba nemisebenti yaJehova,
Futsi abayiboni imisebenti yetandla takhe.
13 Ngako bantfu bami batawutfunjwa
Ngenca yekweswela lwati;+
Bantfu labahloniphekile batawulamba,+
Nabo bonkhe bantfu babo batawukoma kakhulu.
14 Ngako liThuna* livuleke kakhulu
Futsi liwuvule kakhulu umlomo walo langasayekeli;+
Bantfu bakhona labasetikhundleni letisetulu, ticumbi tebantfu bakhona letinemsindvo netidzakwa takhona letinemsindvo
Batakwehlela kulo.
15 Bantfu batawuguca,
Bantfu batawutfotjiswa,
Futsi labatigcabhako batawutfotjiswa.
16 Jehova wemabutfo utawuphakanyiswa ngesehlulelo* sakhe;
Nkulunkulu weliciniso, Longcwele+ utatingcwelisa ngekwenta lokulungile.+
17 Emazinyane etimvu atawudla kube shengatsi adla emadlelweni awo;
Bantfu bakuletinye tive batawudla etindzaweni letingasahlali muntfu lesetingemadlelo etilwane letondlekile.
18 Maye kulabo labadvonsa emacala abo ngetintsambo tekukhohlisa
Nakulabo labadvonsa tono tabo ngetintsambo tenkalishi;
19 Labo labatsi: “Nkulunkulu akawusheshise umsebenti wakhe;
Awute masinyane kuze siwubone.
20 Maye kulabo labatsi lokuhle kubi nalabatsi lokubi kuhle,+
Kulabo labatsi bumnyama kukhanya nalabatsi kukhanya bumnyama,
Kulabo labatsi lokubabako kuyanongotela nalabatsi lokunongotelako kuyababa!
21 Maye kulabo labahlakaniphile emehlweni abo
Nakulabo labatibona shengatsi bahlakaniphile!+
22 Maye kulabo labanatsa kakhulu liwayini
Nakulabo labanelikhono lekudidiyela tinhlobonhlobo tetjwala,+
23 Nakulabo labakhulula bantfu lababi ecaleni ngekudizelwa+
Nakulabo labangabenteli umusa labalungile!+
24 Ngako-ke, njengobe umlilo ushisa tinhlanga
Netjani lobomile bushabalala emalangabini emlilo,
Timphandze tabo titawubola,
Netimbali tabo titawusakateka njengemphuphu,
Ngobe bawulahlile umtsetfo* waJehova wemabutfo
Futsi baledzelele livi laLongcwele waka-Israyeli.+
25 Kungako intfukutselo yaJehova ibavutsela bantfu bakhe,
Utakwelulela sandla sakhe kubo futsi ababhubhise.+
Tintsaba titawutamatama,
Kantsi tidvumbu tabo titawuba yimfucuta etitaladini.+
Ngenca yako konkhe loko, intfukutselo yakhe ayikabuyeli emuva,
Kodvwa sandla sakhe solo selulekile kuze sibhubhise.
26 Uphakamisele sive lesikhashane luphawu;+
Usishayele inkwela kuze site sivela emkhawulweni wemhlaba;+
Futsi sita ngelitubane lelikhulu.+
27 Kute emkhatsini waso lodziniwe nome logilekako.
Kute lowetelako nome lolalako.
Libhande leliselukhalo lwaso aliceki,
Ngisho netintsambo tetincabule taso atikadzabuki.
28 Yonkhe imicibisholo yaso icijile,
Nabo bonkhe butjoki baso bugobene.*
Tinselo temahhashi aso tifana nematje lamnyama,
Nemasondvo etinkalishi taso afana nemoya wesiphepho.+
Sitawuhlasela siphindze sibambe inyamatane
Sitayetfwala sihambe nayo kube bete lotayilamulela.
30 Ngalelolanga sitayibangela umsindvo
Njengemsindvo welwandle.+
Nome ngubani lobuka lelive utawubona bumnyama lobubangela kucindzeteleka;
Ngisho nekukhanya sekugucuke kwaba bumnyama ngenca yalamafu.+
