uThixo uyabathuthuzela abantu bakhe
1Thuthuzelani, bathuthuzeleni abantu bam, utsho uThixo wenu. 2Ziveni nikhululekile ukuthetha neYerusalem, nimemeze kuyo, nithi kuphelile ukulwa kwayo, nokuba buxolelwe ububi bayo; ngokuba wamkela esandleni sikaYehova kabini ngenxa yezono zakhe zonke. 3Yivani odandulukayo entlango, lisithi, Yigeceni entlango indlela kaYehova; 4Yonke imifula iya kuphakanyiswa, zonke iintaba neenduli zonke zigungxulwe; iindawo ezimagqagala zibe zithabazi, iindawo ezimagqagala zibe zithabazi; 5Bubonakala ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, ibubone inyama yonke kunye, ngokuba uthethile umlomo kaYehova. 6Ilizwi lathi: Wowu. Anathi: Ndibize ntoni? Yonke inyama iyingca, bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengentyantyambo yasendle; 7Buyoma utyani, iyabuna intyantyambo; ngokuba umoya kaYehova uvuthuza kubo; ngokwenene, banjani abantu. 8Buyoma utyani, iyabuna intyantyambo; ke lona ilizwi likaThixo wethu lithembekile ngonaphakade. 9Wena Ziyon, mshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo, nyuka uye entabeni ephakamileyo; Yerusalem, mshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo, liphakamise ngamandla ilizwi lakho; ziphakamiseni, musani ukoyika; uthi kwimizi yakwaYuda, Nanko uThixo wenu; 10Uyabona, iNkosi uYehova iya kuza, inesandla esithe nkqi, isandla sayo siya kuyilawula; yabona, umvuzo wakhe unawo, esebenza phambi kwakhe. 11Iya kuwalusa umhlambi wayo njengomalusi; uya kuwabutha amatakane esandleni sakhe, awathwale ngesifuba sakhe, abathundeze ngocoselelo abathuthuzeli. 12Ngubani na owalinganisa amanzi kumqolo wesandla sakhe, walinganisa amazulu ngentende yesandla sakhe, wathabatha uthuli lomhlaba ngomlinganiselo walinganisa iintaba ngesikali neenduli ngesikali? 13Ngubani na owalathisa uMoya kaYehova, wamfundisa, ingenguye umcebisi wakhe? 14Wacebisana nabani na, owamfundisa nowamfundisa indlela yomgwebo nowamfundisa ukwazi nowamazisa indlela yokuqonda? 15Yabona, iintlanga zibalelwa ekubeni zinjengethontsi emphandeni, njengesuntswana esikalini; yabona, iziqithi uzigqala njengento encinane. 16iLebhanon ayilingene kubaswa, neenkomo zayo azilingene kubalidini elinyukayo. 17Zonke iintlanga zinjengento engento phambi kwakhe; kuye zibalelwa ekubeni ngamampunge namampunge. 18Ningamfanekisa ke nabani na uThixo? okanye unokumfanisa? 19Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo utyhidwa yingcibi, awaleke ngegolide umnyibilikisi, enze nemixokelelwane yesilivere. 20Ihlwempu likhetha umthi ongento yanto; ufuna umsebénzi olichule wokulungisa lo mfanekiso uqingqiweyo. 21Beningazi na? Anivanga na? Anixelelwanga na kwasekuqaleni? Aniqondanga na na iziseko zehlabathi? 22Nguye lo uhleli esazulwini sehlabathi, abemi balo banjengeenkumbi; waneka izulu njengeqhiya, walaneka njengentente yokuhlala; 23Kuyabatshabalalisa abathetheli; Uyabatshabalalisa abagwebi behlabathi. 24Ewe, aziyi kumiselwa; ewe, azinakutyalwa; ewe, uhlanga lwabo aluyi kumila emhlabeni; uya kubuya azivule, zome, zithabathe umoya ovuthuzayo njengeendiza. 25Ke kaloku niya kundifanisa, ndilingane nabani? Watsho uNgcwele. 26Phakamisani amehlo enu, nikhangele, ukuba ngubani na owazidalayo ezo zinto; Uzibiza zonke ziphela ngamagama, ngenxa yobukhulu bamandla akhe, ngenxa enokuba ekhaliphile ngamandla; akukho namnye usilelayo. 27Yini na ukuba uthi, Yakobi, Indlela yam isithele kuYehova, nebango lam limkile kuThixo wam? 28Beningazi na? Ngaba akuvanga na ukuba uThixo ongunaphakade, uYehova, uMdali weziphelo zomhlaba, akaphelelwa lithemba okanye aphelelwe lithemba? akukho ukuhlolwa kwengqondo kuye. 29Umnika otyhafileyo amandla; nalowo ungenamandla uyawongezelela ukuqina kwawo. 30Namadodana adinwe atyhafe, amadodana akhubeke aphele. 31Ke bona abakholose ngoYehova bona amandla amatsha; baya kunyuka ngamaphiko njengexhalanga; baya kugidima, bangadinwa; baya kuhamba bangatyhafi.
