Amahubo 78
Ngiyakuwuvula umlomo wami ngomfanekiso;
1IMaskili lika-Asafa. Lalelani, bantu bami, umthetho wami; beka izindlebe zakho emazwini omlomo wami.
2Ngiyakuwuvula umlomo wami ngomfanekiso, ngikhulume amazwi amnyama asendulo;
3Esikuzwileyo nesikwaziyo, nabasitshela khona obaba.
4Ngeke sikufihlele abantwana babo, futhi esizukulwaneni esizayo siyomemezela izindumiso zikaJehova namandla akhe nezimangaliso zakhe azenzile.
5Ngokuba wamisa ubufakazi kuJakobe, wamisa umthetho kwa-Israyeli, awuyala obaba ukuba bawazise abantwana babo.
6Ukuze isizukulwane esizayo sizazi, yebo, nabantwana abazozalwa; okufanele basukume bamemezele lokhu kubantwana babo.
7Ukuze bathembele kuNkulunkulu futhi bangakhohlwa imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bagcine imiyalo yakhe.
8Bangabi njengoyise, isizukulwane esinenkani nesihlubukayo; isizukulwane esingalungisanga inhliziyo yaso, nomoya waso ungagxili kuNkulunkulu.
9Abantwana bakwa-Efrayimi, ababehlomile bephethe idandili, babuyela emuva ngosuku lwempi.
10Abasigcinanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, benqaba ukuhamba emthethweni wakhe;
11Wakhohlwa imisebenzi yakhe nezimangaliso zakhe ababonise zona.
12Wenza izimangaliso emehlweni awoyise ezweni laseGibithe, endaweni yaseSowani.
13Wahlukanisa ulwandle, wabavumela ukuba bawele; wamisa amanzi njengenqwaba.
14Wabahola ngefu emini, nangokukhanya komlilo ubusuku bonke.
15Waqhekeza amadwala ogwadule, wabaphuzisa njengotwa otwayo olukhulu.
16Wakhipha nemifudlana edwaleni, wenza ukuba amanzi agobhoze njengemifula.
17Baphinda bona kakhulu kuye ngokuklolodela oPhezukonke ehlane.
18Basebecela kuNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yabo ngokucela ukudla kwenkanuko yabo.
19Yebo, bakhuluma kabi ngoNkulunkulu; bathi: UNkulunkulu angadeka itafula ehlane na?
20Bheka, washaya idwala, kwaze kwagobhoza amanzi, nezifufula zaphuphuma; angakwazi futhi ukunikeza isinkwa? angalungisela abantu bakhe inyama na?
21Ngakho uJehova wakuzwa wathukuthela;
22Ngoba kabakholwanga kuNkulunkulu, kabathembanga ensindisweni yakhe;
23Noma wayala amafu phezulu, wavula iminyango yezulu;
24Wanisa imana phezu kwabo ukuba badle, wabanika okusanhlamvu kwezulu.
25Abantu badla isinkwa sezingelosi: wazipha ukudla.
26Waphephula umoya wasempumalanga esibhakabhakeni, ngamandla akhe waletha umoya waseningizimu.
27Wanisa inyama phezu kwabo njengothuli, nezinyoni ezinezimpaphe njengesihlabathi solwandle.
28Yawela phakathi kwekamu labo nxazonke zezindlu zabo.
29Badla, basutha, ngokuba wabapha ukufisa kwabo;
30Abazange bahlukane nenkanuko yabo. Kodwa inyama yabo isesemlonyeni wabo.
31Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwaba phezu kwabo, wabulala abakhulupheleyo kubo, wahlula abakhethiweyo bakwa-Israyeli.
32Kukho konke lokhu baqhubeka bona njalo kabakholwanga yimisebenzi yakhe yamandla.
33Ngakho wachitha izinsuku zabo ngeze neminyaka yabo ekuhluphekeni.
34Kwathi ezibulala, zamfuna; babuya, babuza kuNkulunkulu ekuseni.
35Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyidwala labo, nokuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke uMhlengi wabo.
36Nokho bamthopha ngemilomo yabo, baqamba amanga kuye ngolimi lwabo.
37Ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayingaqondile kuye, futhi babengaqini esivumelwaneni sakhe.
38Kodwa yena owayelesihawu wabathethelela ububi babo, kababhubhisanga;
39Wakhumbula ukuthi babeyinyama; umoya odlulayo ungabuyi.
40Bamgcona kaningi ogwadule, bemenza lusizi ogwadule!
41Yebo, baphenduka futhi bamlinga uNkulunkulu, futhi bamvimbela oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
42Abazange bacabange ngesandla sakhe loba usuku abakhulula ngalo esitheni.
43Ukuthi wazenza kanjani izibonakaliso zakhe eGibithe nezimangaliso zakhe ensimini yaseSowani.
44Baphendula imifula yabo yaba yigazi; nemifudlana yabo, ukuze bangabi nakuphuza.
45Wathuma kubo izibawu ngezinhlobonhlobo, zabadla; namaxoxo ababhubhisayo.
46Futhi umkhiqizo wabo wawunika amacimbi nomsebenzi wabo entendeni.
47Wachitha izivini zabo ngesichotho, nemisikhamori yabo ngongqoqwane.
48Wanikela izinkomo zabo esichothweni, nemihlambi yabo emibaneni eshisayo.
49Waphonsa phezu kwabo ukuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe, nolaka, nokufutheka, nosizi, ngokuthuma izingelosi ezimbi phakathi kwabo.
50Wenza indlela yolaka lwakhe; Akawuyekanga umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, kepha wanikela ukuphila kwabo esibethweni;
51Wanqoba wonke amazibulo eGibithe; inhloko yamandla abo ematendeni kaHamu;
52Kodwa abantu bakhe wabahola njengezimvu, wabahola njengomhlambi enkangala.
53Wabahola kahle, ukuba bangesabi, kepha ulwandle lwasibekela izitha zabo.
54Wabayisa emkhawulweni wendlu yakhe engcwele, kule ntaba esasiyithengile isandla sakhe sokunene.
55Waxosha izizwe phambi kwabo, wabahlukanisela ifa ngomugqa, wahlalisa izizwe zakwa-Israyeli ematendeni azo.
56Kodwa bamlinga, bamklolodela uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, abagcinanga ubufakazi bakhe.
57Kodwa baphenduka benza ubumenemene njengoyise; baphambukile njengomnsalo okhohlisayo.
58Bamthukuthelisa ngokuphakama kwabo, bamvusela intukuthelo ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo.
59UNkulunkulu ekuzwa lokho wathukuthela, wazonda u-Israyeli.
60Walishiya itabernakele laseShilo, itende ayelimise phakathi kwabantu;
61Wanikela amandla akhe ekuthunjweni nenkazimulo yakhe esandleni sesitha.
62Wabanikela abantu bakhe enkembeni; wathukuthelela ifa lakhe.
63Umlilo waqeda izinsizwa zabo; namadodakazi abo abendiswanga.
64Abapristi babo bawa ngenkemba; nabafelokazi babo abazange bakhononde.
65Khona-ke uJehova wavuka njengomuntu oleleyo nanjengeqhawe elimemeza ngenxa yewayini.
66Wanqoba izitha zakhe ngemuva; wababangela usizi oluphakade.
67Ngaphezu kwalokho, wala itabernakele likaJosefa, akasikhethanga isizwe sakwa-Efrayimi.
68Kepha wakhetha isizwe sakwaJuda, iNtaba yaseSiyoni ayithandayo.
69Yakha indlu yayo engcwele njengezigodlo eziphakemeyo, njengomhlaba awumisayo kuze kube phakade.
70Yakhetha futhi inceku yayo uDavide, yamthatha ezibayeni zezimvu.
71Wamthatha emva kwezimvukazi ezinkulu ukuze avumele uJakobe ukuba adle abantu bakhe no-Israyeli ifa lakhe.
72Futhi wabondla ngobuqotho benhliziyo yakhe; wabahola ngobuhlakani bezandla zakhe.
