Imicabango yesikhathi esidlule
1Yizwani nina mazulu, ngikhulume; futhi yizwa, mhlaba, amazwi omlomo wami.
2Ukufundisa kwami kuyakuconsa njengemvula, inkulumo yami iconse njengamazolo, njengemvula etshanini nanjengezihlambi etshanini.
3Ngokuba ngiyakumemezela igama likaJehova; mnikeni uNkulunkulu wethu ubukhulu.
4Uyidwala, umsebenzi wakhe uphelele, ngokuba zonke izindlela zakhe ziwukulunga; uNkulunkulu weqiniso ongenabubi, ulungile, ulungile yena.
5Babonakalisile, ibala labo alisilo ibala labantwana bakhe; bayisizukulwane esibi nesiphambeneyo.
6Nimbuyisela kanje uJehova nina bantu abayiziwula nabangahlakaniphile na? Akusiye uyihlo okuthengileyo? Akanenzanga futhi wanimisa na?
7Khumbulani izinsuku zasendulo, nibheke iminyaka yezizukulwane ngezizukulwane; buza uyihlo, uzakukutshela; abadala bakho, futhi bayokutshela.
8Lapho oPhezukonke ehlukanisela izizwe ifa labo, lapho ehlukanisa abantwana bakwa-Adamu omunye nomunye, wamisa imingcele yabantu ngokwesibalo sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
9Ngokuba isabelo sikaJehova singabantu bakhe; UJakobe uyisiphetho sefa lakhe.
10Wamfumana ezweni eliyihlane nasehlane eliklabalasayo; wamyisa nxazonke, wamyala, wamlondoloza njengenhlamvu yeso lakhe.
11Njengokhozi olunyakazisa isidleke salo, lundizela phezu kwamaphuphu alo, lwelule amaphiko alo, luwathathe, luwathwale ngamaphiko alo;
12Kanjalo uJehova yedwa wamqondisa, kwakungekho nkulunkulu wezizweni kanye naye.
13Wamkhwelisa ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba ukuba adle izithelo zensimu; wammunyisa uju lwedwala namafutha etsheni letshe;
14Ibhotela lezinkomo, nobisi lwezimvu, kanye namafutha amawundlu, nezinqama zohlanga lwaseBashani, nezimbuzi, kanye namanoni ezinso zikakolweni; waphuza igazi lamagilebhisi elicwengekileyo.
15Kodwa uJesuruni wakhuluphala wakhahlela; ukhuluphele, ukhuluphele, ukhuluphele; wayesemshiya uNkulunkulu owamenzayo, wadelela iDwala lensindiso yakhe.
16Bamvusela umhawu ngonkulunkulu bezizweni, bamcunula ngezinengiso.
17Bahlabela amadimoni, hatshi uNkulunkulu; konkulunkulu ababengabazi, konkulunkulu abasha abavukile, ababengabesabanga oyihlo.
18Edwaleni elakuzalayo, awunakucatshangwa, ukhohlwe uNkulunkulu owakuzalayo.
19UJehova ekubona lokho waba nengwa yibo ngenxa yokugconwa kwamadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe.
20Wathi: “Ngiyakubafihlela ubuso bami, ngibone ukuthi ukuphela kwabo kuyakuba yini; ngoba bayisizukulwane esibi kakhulu, abantwana abangenakholo kubo.
21Bangivusela umhawu ngokungesiye uNkulunkulu; bangiklolodele ngezinto zabo eziyize, futhi ngiyobenza babe nomhawu ngabangebona abantu; ngizabagcona ngesizwe esingelangqondo.
22Ngokuba umlilo uphekiwe entukuthelweni yami, ushise uze ufike endaweni yabafileyo, uqede umhlaba nezithelo zawo, uthungele izisekelo zezintaba.
23Ngizabuthela ububi phezu kwabo; ngiyakuchithela imicibisholo yami phezu kwabo.
24Bayakushiswa yindlala, baqedwe ukushisa okushisayo nencithakalo ebabayo; ngiyakubathumelela amazinyo ezilwane, kanye nesihlungu sezinyoka zothuli.
25Inkemba evela ngaphandle nokwesaba okuvela ngaphakathi kuyobhubhisa insizwa kanye nentombi, nosane kanye nendoda esempunga.
26Ngathi: Ngiyakubahlakazela emagumbini, ngiqede ukukhunjulwa kwabo phakathi kwabantu.
27Akukhona yini ukuthi ngesaba ulaka lwesitha, ukuthi izitha zabo zazingayikwenza isimangaliso, nokuthi zathi: ‘Isandla sethu siphakeme, futhi uJehova akenzanga konke lokhu.
28Ngokuba bayisizwe esingenangqondo, akukho ukuqonda kubo.
29O, ukube bebehlakaniphile, bakuqonde lokhu, bakuqaphele ukuphela kwabo;
30Inkulungwane iyakubaleka kanjani, nezinkulungwane ezimbili eziyishumi zingabaleka, uma iDwala labo lingathengisanga ngabo, uJehova ebavalile na?
31Ngokuba idwala labo alinjengeDwala lethu, nezitha zethu zingabahluleli.
32Ngokuba umvini wabo ungowomvini waseSodoma nowamasimu aseGomora; izithelo zomvini zabo ziyizithelo zenyongo, amahlukuzo abo ayababa;
33Iwayini labo liwubuthi bamakhanka nobuhlungu obunzima bamabululu.
34Akubekelwanga yini kimi, kwabekwa uphawu phakathi kwengcebo yami na?
35Impindiselo nokuphindisela kungokwami; unyawo lwabo luyokhubeka ngesikhathi esifanele, ngoba usuku lwenhlekelele yabo luseduze, futhi izinto ezibehlelayo ziyashesha.
36Ngoba uJehova uyokwahlulela abantu bakhe futhi azisole ngezinceku zakhe lapho ebona ukuthi amandla azo aphelile, futhi akekho oboshiwe noma osele.
37Futhi uyothi: Baphi onkulunkulu babo, idwala labo ababethembele kulo na?
38Ababedla amanoni emihlatshelo yabo, bephuza iwayini leminikelo yabo yokuphuzwa na? mawasukume akusize abe isivikelo sakho.
39Bhekani manje ukuthi ngiyilokhu nokuthi akakho unkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Ngiyabulala, ngiphilise; ngiyalimaza, ngipholise, akakho ongophula esandleni sami.
40Ngoba ngiphakamisela isandla sami ezulwini ngithi: Ngiphila kuze kube nininini.
41Lapho ngilola inkemba yami ebenyezelayo, nesandla sami sibambe ukwahlulela; ngiyakuziphindiselela ezitheni zami, ngiphindisele kwabangizondayo.
42Ngiyakudakisa imicibisholo yami ngegazi, inkemba yami idle inyama; futhi lokhu ngegazi lababuleweyo kanye neziboshwa, kusukela ekuqaleni kokuphindisela esitheni.
43Jabulani, O zizwe, kanye nabantu bakhe, ngokuba uyophindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe futhi aphindisele kwabamelene naye futhi abe nesihe ezweni lakhe nakubantu bakhe.
44UMose weza wakhuluma onke amazwi ale ngoma ezindlebeni zabantu, yena noHoseya, indodana kaNuni.
45UMose waqeda ukukhuluma onke lawa mazwi ku-Israyeli wonke.
46Wathi kubo: “Bekani izinhliziyo zenu kuwo wonke amazwi engiwafakazayo phakathi kwenu namuhla, eniyakuyala ngawo abantwana benu ukuba baqaphele ukuwenza onke amazwi alo mthetho.
47Ngoba kakusilo ize kini; ngokuba lokhu kungukuphila kwenu; futhi ngale ndaba niyakwandisa izinsuku zenu ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuyolidla.
48UJehova wakhuluma kuMose ngalolo suku, wathi:
49Khuphukelani le ntaba yase-Abarimi entabeni yaseNebo esezweni lakwaMowabi ebhekene neJeriko; futhi ubheke izwe laseKhanani engilinika abantwana bakwa-Israyeli njengefa.
50Ufele entabeni okhuphukela kuyo, ubuthelwe kubantu bakini; njengalokhu umfowenu u-Aroni afela eNtabeni yaseHori, wabuthelwa kubantu bakubo.
51Ngokuba naphambuka kimi phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli emanzini aseMeriba-Kadeshi ehlane laseSini; ngoba aningingcwelisanga phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
52Kodwa uzalibona ilizwe phambi kwakho; kepha awuyikungena khona ezweni engilinika abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
