60 “Sukuma wena mfati,+ khanya ngobe kukhanya kwakho sekufikile.
Inkhatimulo yaJehova iyakukhanyisa.+
2 Bumnyama butawumbonya umhlaba
Nebumnyama lobukhulu bumbonye tive;
Kodvwa Jehova utawukhanya kuwe,
Nenkhatimulo yakhe itawubonakala kuwe.
4 Phakamisa emehlo akho ubuke kuto tonkhe tinhlangotsi takho.
Bonkhe sebahlanganisiwe; beta kuwe.
5 Ngaleso sikhatsi utawubona, ujabule kakhulu,+
Inhlitiyo yakho itawugcumagcuma,
Ngobe umnotfo welwandle utawuletfwa kuwe;
Nemcebo wetive ute kuwe.+
6 Emakamela lamanyenti kakhulu atawugcwala eveni lakho,*
Kutawugcwala emakamela lamadvuna lasemancane akaMidiyani newase-Efa.+
Bonkhe bantfu labasuka eSheba batawuta;
Batawuta betfwele ligolide nemakha esihlahla semphepho.
Batawumemetela ludvumo lwaJehova.+
7 Yonkhe imihlambi yaseKhedari+ itawubutselwa kuwe.
Timvu letindvuna taseNebayothi+ titawuba lusito kuwe.
8 Bobani laba labandiza njengemafu,
Labandiza njengematuba nakaya endzaweni lahlala kuyo?*
9 Ngobe tichingi titawetsembela kimi;+
Imikhumbi yaseThashishi ihamba phambili,
Kuze iletse emadvodzana akho lasuka khashane,+
Kanye nelisiliva neligolide lawo,
Kuze advumise libito laJehova Nkulunkulu wakho naLongcwele waka-Israyeli,
10 Bantfu bakuletinye tive batakwakha lubondza lwakho,
Futsi emakhosi abo atakusebentela+
Ngobe ngikushaya ngentfukutselo yami,
Kodvwa ngenca yemusa wami ngitawuba nesihawu kuwe.+
11 Emagede akho atawuhlale avulilwe;+
Angeke avalwe busuku nemini,
Kuze akuletsele umcebo wetive,
Futsi emakhosi ato atawuhamba embili.+
12 Ngobe nome ngabe ngusiphi sive nembuso longeke utitfobe kuwe, utawushabalala,
Netive titawubhujiswa.+
13 Buhle beLebanoni butawufika kuwe,+
Tihlahla temjunipha, temferi netemsayipuresi titawuta kanyekanye,+
Kuze tihlobise indzawo yami yekukhontela;
Ngitawukhatimulisa indzawo yetinyawo tami.+
14 Emadvodzana alabo labakuhlukumeta atawuta aguce embikwakho;
Bonkhe labo labakwedzelelako kufanele baguce etinyaweni takho,
Futsi batakubita ngekutsi ulidolobha laJehova,
ISiyoni yaLongcwele waka-Israyeli.+
15 Nanobe ngakushiya futsi bantfu bakwenyanya, kwaba bete nalohamba kuwe,+
Ngitakwenta kutsi bantfu bakudvumise phakadze,
Ube yimbangela yekujabula, kuto tonkhe titukulwane.+
16 Uyawunatsa lubisi lwetive,+
Umunye nemabele emakhosi;+
Nakanjani uyawukwati kutsi mine, Jehova, nginguMsindzisi wakho,
Nekutsi Lonemandla waJakobe unguMhlengi wakho.+
17 Esikhundleni selitfusi ngiyawuletsa ligolide,
Esikhundleni sensimbi ngiyawuletsa lisiliva,
Esikhundleni selugodvo ngiyawuletsa litfusi,
Esikhundleni sematje, ngiyawuletsa insimbi;
Ngiyawubeka kuthula kube babonisi bakho
Futsi kulunga kuyawuba ngiko lokukwabela umsebenti.+
18 Angeke kuphindze kube nebudlova eveni lakho
Angeke kuphindze kube nembhubhiso netindzala eminceleni yakho.+
Lubondza lwakho uyawulubita ngekutsi yiNsindziso,+ nemagede akho uwabite ngekutsi Ludvumo.
19 Ngobe lilanga angeke lisakukhanyisela emini,
Futsi kukhanya kwenyanga angeke kukukhanyisele,
Ngobe Jehova uyawuba kukhanya kwakho kwaphakadze,+
Futsi Nkulunkulu wakho uyawuba buhle bakho.+
20 Lilanga lakho angeke liphindze lishone,
Futsi inyeti yakho angeke iphindze ifiphale,
Ngobe Jehova uyawuba kukhanya kwakho kwaphakadze,+
Nemalanga akho ekulila ayawube asaphelile.+
21 Bonkhe bantfu bakho bayawuba ngulabalungile;
Bayawuhlala kulelive kuze kube phakadze.
22 Lomncane uyawuba yinkhulungwane
Longasilutfo abe sive lesinemandla.
Mine Jehova lucobo lwami ngitakusheshisa loko ngesikhatsi sako.”
