32 “Lalelani nine mazulu, mine ngikhulume,
Nemhlaba awulalele emavi lengitawasho.
2 Sicondziso sami sitakwehla njengemvula;
Emavi ami atfontse njengematolo,
Abe njengemvula lemelula leyehlela etikwetjani
Nanjengemvula lenkhulu leyehlela etikwetitjalo.
3 Ngobe ngitalimemetela libito laJehova.+
Ngikhulume nangebukhulu baNkulunkulu wetfu!+
5 Ngibo labente ngekukhohlakala.+
Abasibo bantfwana bakhe, futsi liphutsa likubo.+
Basitukulwane lesigwegwile nalesonakele!+
6 Ngulena yini indlela lokufanele nimphatse ngayo Jehova,+
Nine bantfu labalibele futsi labangakahlakaniphi?+
Akasuye yini Babe wenu lowanenta naba khona,+
Loyo lowanidala waphindze wanenta nacina?
7 Khumbulani emalanga asendvulo;
Cabangani ngeminyaka yetitukulwane lesetendlulile.
Butani babe wenu, futsi utanitjela;+
Nibute nemadvodza lamadzala, nawo atanichazela.
8 Ngesikhatsi Losetikwako Konkhe aniketa tive lifa lato,+
Ehlukanisa emadvodzana a-Adamu,*+
Wabekela bantfu imincele+
Acabangela linani lemadvodzana a-Israyeli.+
11 Njengobe nje lusoti lunyakatisa sidleke salo,
Lundize etikwemazini alo,
Luvule timphiko, luwatsatse,
Futsi luwetfwale ngato,+
12 Jehova nguye kuphela lowachubeka amhola;*+
Kute lomunye nkulunkulu lobekakanye naye.+
Wamondla ngeluju loluvela edvwaleni
Nangemafutsa labephuma edvwaleni lelicinile,
14 Wamondla ngabhotela lovela emhlambini wetinkhomo, ngelubisi lwemhlambi wetimvu newetimbuti,
Ngetimvu telikhetselo,*
Ngetimvu letindvuna taseBhashani, ngetimbuti letindvuna,
Kanye nangakolo locolisakele;+
Waphindze wanatsa neliwayini lelentiwe ngemagilebisi.
15 Ngesikhatsi Jeshuruni* asakhuluphele, wabese uyavukela.
Awu Jeshuruni, sewukhuluphele waba mkhulu, futsi wesutsa kakhulu.+
Ngako Jeshuruni wamshiya Nkulunkulu, lowamdala,+
Waledzelela Lidvwala lensindziso yakhe.
17 Bebentela emadimoni imihlatjelo, bangenteli Nkulunkulu,+
Bentela bonkulunkulu labangabati,
Nalebebasandza kuvela,
Lokubonkulunkulu bokhokho benu lebebangabati.
19 Ngesikhatsi Jehova akubona loku, wabalahla+
Ngobe emadvodzana nemadvodzakati akhe abemcansula.
20 Ngako watsi: ‘Ngitabafihlela buso bami;+
Ngibone nekutsi kutawukwentekani kubo.
21 Bangitfukutselise* ngentfo lengasiye nkulunkulu;+
Bangicansula ngetithico tabo letingenamsebenti.+
Ngako nami ngitawubenta babe nesikhwele ngebantfu labangasiso sive;+
Ngibacansule ngesive lesilibele.+
22 Ngobe intfukutselo yami seyivutsa umlilo+
Lotawushisa uze uyewufika phansi eThuneni,*+
Itawucotfula umhlaba nemkhicito wawo
Iphindze ishise netisekelo tetintsaba.
23 Ngitawutandzisa tinhlekelele tabo;
Nebutjoki bami ngitabusebentisa kubo.
24 Batawuphelelwa ngemandla ngenca yendlala+
Bacedvwe ngumkhuhlane lomatima kanye nembhubhiso lebuhlungu.+
25 Ngephandle, inkemba itawubaletsela lusizi;+
Ngekhatsi kube nekwesaba lokukhulu+
Ejaheni nasentfombini,
Eluswaneni nasendvodzeni lemphunga enhloko.+
26 Bengitawutsi: “Ngitawubasakata;
Ngente kutsi bangasakhunjulwa emkhatsini webantfu,”
27 Kube bekungasiko kutsi ngesaba loko lokutakwentiwa titsa,+
Ngobe letitsa tingasuke tikutsatse kabi loku.+
Tingase titsi: “Sincobe ngemandla etfu;
Akusuye Jehova lowente konkhe loku.”+
29 Kube mane bebahlakaniphile!+ Bebatawucabangisisa ngaloku.+
Bebatawucabanga ngaloko lokutawubehlela.+
30 Umuntfu munye angabacosha njani labangu-1 000,
Nalababili bangabacosha njani labangu-10 000?+
Ngaphandle-ke nangabe Lidvwala labo libatsengisile+
NaJehova anikele ngabo.
32 Tihlahla tabo temagilebisi tibuya eSodoma
Nasemasimini aseGomora.+
Emagilebisi abo anashevu,
Netikhehle tawo tiyababa.+
33 Liwayini labo lisihlungu setinyoka,
Libutsi lobubi betimfeti.
34 Konkhe loku ngikuvale ngeluphawu
Futsi ngakugcina encolobaneni yami.+
35 Kuphindzisela kwami, futsi ngimi lotawukhipha sijeziso+
Ngesikhatsi lesibekiwe, lapho lunyawo lwabo lushelela,+
Ngobe lilanga lenhlekelele yabo selisedvute,
Futsi loko lokubalindzele kutawufika ngekushesha.’
36 Ngobe Jehova utawehlulela bantfu bakhe,+
Futsi utawutivela* tinceku takhe+
Nasekabona kutsi emandla ato asanciphile,
Asabona nekutsi sekusele kuphela labo labete longabasita futsi lababutsakatsaka.
37 Ngemuva kwaloko utawutsi: ‘Baphi bonkulunkulu babo,+
Lidvwala lebebatsembele kulo,
38 Bonkulunkulu lebebadla emanoni emihlatjelo yabo,*
Banatsa neliwayini leminikelo yabo yalokunatfwako?+
Abavuke futsi banisite.
Ababe yindzawo lenitawuphephela kuyo.
Ngiyabulala, ngiphindze ngiphilise.+
40 Ngobe ngiphakamisela sandla sami ezulwini,
Ngifunge ngitsi: “Ngifunga ngekuphila kwami lokuhlala kuze kube phakadze,”+
41 Nangingalota inkemba yami lemanyatelako,
Ngilungise nesandla sami kuze ngehlulele,+
Ngitawuphindzisela etitseni tami,+
Ngijezise labo labangenyanyako.
42 Ngitawukwenta butjoki bami budzakwe yingati,
Nenkemba yami idle inyama,
Itawudzakwa yingati yalabo lababulewe nalabatfunjiwe,
Idle tinhloko talabo labahola sitsa sami.’
43 Jabulani nine tive nebantfu bakhe,+
Ngobe utawuphindzisela ngenca yengati yetinceku takhe,+
Aphindzisele nasetitseni takhe+
Utawuphindze ente nekutsi live lebantfu bakhe libuyisane naye.”*
44 Ngako Mosi weta, futsi yena naHosheya*+ indvodzana yaNuni bawasho onkhe emavi alengoma kulabantfu.+ 45 Mosi nasacedzile kukhuluma onkhe lamavi kuwo onkhe ema-Israyeli, 46 watsi kuwo: “Wagcineni etinhlitiyweni tenu onkhe lamavi lenginecwayisa ngawo lamuhla,+ kuze nitjele emadvodzana enu kutsi kufanele aciniseke kutsi awagcina onkhe emavi aloMtsetfo.+ 47 Ngobe lelivi alisilo lite kini, kodvwa lisho kuphila,+ futsi ngalo nitawuphila sikhatsi lesidze kulelive lenewela iJordane kuyewulitsatsa.”
48 Ngalo lelolanga, Jehova wakhuluma naMosi watsi: 49 “Khuphukela kulentsaba yase-Abarimu,+ lokuyiNtsaba iNebo+ leseveni lakaMowabi, futsi lebukene neJerikho, ufike ubuke live laseKhenani, lelo lengilinika ema-Israyeli kutsi libe ngelawo.+ 50 Ngemuva kwaloko utawufela kulentsaba lokhuphukela kuyo, futsi ungcwatjwe njengabo bonkhe bantfu bakini,* njengobe nje na-Aroni umnakenu afela eNtsabeni iHori,+ wangcwatjwa njengabo bonkhe bantfu bakubo, 51 ngobe nine nobabili anizange netsembeke kimi emkhatsini wema-Israyeli emantini aseMeribha+ leseKhadeshi, ehlane laseZini. Anizange ningingcwelise embikwebantfu baka-Israyeli.+ 52 Lelive lengitalinika ema-Israyeli utalibonela khashane, kodvwa ngeke ungene kulo.”+
