54 “Memeta ngenjabulo wena mfati lote imbeleko, futsi longabatfoli bantfwana!+
Jabula kakhulu futsi umemete ngenjabulo+ wena longazange sewuhelwe,+
Ngobe emadvodzana* alolahliwe manyenti kakhulu
2 “Yenta indzawo yelithende lakho ibe yinkhulu kakhulu.+
Yelula tindvwangu telithende lakho lekukhontela lelikhulu.
Ukhululeke nje, welule tintsambo telithende lakho,
Futsi wente tikhonkhwane talo ticine.+
3 Ngobe imincele yakho iyawelulwa ngesekudla nangesencele.
Intalelwane yakho iyawutsatsa lifa letive,
Futsi iyawuhlala emadolobheni langenamuntfu.+
Ngobe utalikhohlwa lihlazo lasebusheni bakho,
Futsi angeke uphindze ulikhumbule lihlazo lekuba ngumfelokati.”
5 “Ngobe uMdali wakho Lomkhulu+ ufana nendvodza* yakho,+
NguJehova wemabutfo libito lakhe,
Futsi Longcwele waka-Israyeli unguMhlengi wakho.+
Utawubitwa ngekutsi unguNkulunkulu wemhlaba wonkhe.+
6 Ngobe Jehova wakubita shengatsi ungumfati lolahliwe futsi loselusizini,*+
Shengatsi ungumfati lowashada ebusheni bakhe wase uyalahlwa,” kusho Nkulunkulu wakho.
7 “Ngobe ngakulahla kwesikhashana nje,
Kodvwa ngemusa lomkhulu ngiyawuphindze ngikubuyise.+
8 Ngesikhukhula sentfukutselo ngakufihlela buso bami kwesikhashana nje,+
Kodvwa ngenca yekutsi lutsandvo lwami lolucotfo luhlala phakadze, ngiyawuba nemusa kuwe,”+ kusho uMhlengi wakho,+ Jehova.
9 “Loku kunjengasesikhatsini saNowa kimi.+
Njengobe nje ngafunga kutsi emanti esikhatsi sakhe angeke aphindze ambonye umhlaba,+
Ngako ngiyafunga ngitsi angeke ngiphindze ngikutfukutselele nobe ngikwekhute.+
10 Ngobe tintsaba tingasuswa
Nemagcuma anganyakatiswa,
Kodvwa lutsandvo lwami lolucotfo angeke lususwe kuwe,+
Nesivumelwane sami sekuthula angeke sinyakatiswe,”+ kusho Jehova, Loyo lonemusa kuwe.+
11 “Awu wena mfati losetinhlungwini,+ lohlaselwe tivunguvungu, wangadvudvutwa,+
Ngikwakha ngematje nangeludzaka lolucinile
Futsi sisekelo sakho ngisakha ngesafire.+
12 Ngitakwakha lubondza lwemibhoshongo yakho ngemarubhi,
Ngakhe emagede akho ngematje lakhatitelako,*
Futsi yonkhe imincele yakho ngitayakha ngematje laligugu.
14 Uyawusimamiswa ngekulunga.+
Uyawususwa ube khashane nekucindzetelwa,+
Angeke wesabe lutfo futsi kute lokutakwetfusa,
Ngobe loko angeke kusondzele kuwe.+
15 Nakungenteka kube khona lokuhlaselako,
Kuyobe kungakasho mine.
Nome ngabe ngubani lokuhlaselako uyawuncotjwa.”+
16 “Mine matfupha ngidale umuntfu lonelikhono,
Lovutsela umlilo wemalahle,
Umsebenti wakhe kwakha sikhali.
Mine lucobo lwami ngidale nemuntfu lobhubhisako lotawuletsa imbhubhiso.+
17 Kute sikhali lesakhelwe kulwa nawe lesiyawuphumelela,+
Nakwehlulelwa wena uyawulahla lulwimi lolumelene nawe.
Leli lifa letinceku taJehova,
Futsi kulunga kwato kusuka kimi,” kusho Jehova.+
