1Liveni ilizwi likaYehova, nyana bakaSirayeli; ngokuba uYehova ubambene nabemi belimiweyo, ngokuba kungekho nyaniso, kungekho nceba, kungekho kwazi uThixo ehlabathini.

2Ngokutshabhisa, nangokuxoka, nangokubulala, ngokuba, nangokuhenyuza, bagqobhozile, igazi lichukumisa igazi.

3Ngenxa yoko ihlabathi liya kukhala, zikhwankqise zonke izinto ezimi kulo, kwanamarhamncwa elizwe, neentaka zezulu; ewe, kwaneentlanzi zolwandle ziya kususwa.

4Kodwa makungabikho mntu ubambana nomnye, okanye uthethise omnye, kuba abantu bakowenu banjengabaxambulisana nombingeleli.

5Woza ke emini, akhubeke umprofeti kunye nawe ebusuku, ndimtshabalalise unyoko.

6Bayatshabalala abantu bam ngokungazi; ngokuba ukucekisile ukwazi, ndiya kukucekisa nam, ukuba ungabi ngumbingeleli kum; Wawulibala umyalelo kaThixo wakho; ndobalibala abantwana bakho nam.

7Bathi bakuba besanda, basuka bagatya, banjalo; ke ngoko uzuko lwabo ndiya kuluguqula lube lihlazo.

8Badla isono sabantu bam, bayibeka intliziyo yabo ebubini babo;

9Kuya kuba njengababingeleli, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kubohlwaya ngenxa yeendlela zabo ndize ndibabuyekeze ngezenzo zabo.

10Kuba baya kudla, bangahluthi; baya kukrexeza, bangandi, ngokuba bayekile ukumphulaphula uYehova.

11Uhenyuzo, newayini, newayini entsha, ziwexula intliziyo;

12Abantu bam babuzisa ubutyebi babo, umsimelelo wabo ubaxelela; ngokuba umoya wobuhenyu ubalahlekisile, bahenyuze phantsi koThixo wabo.

13Babingelela ezincotsheni zeentaba, baqhumisele ezindulini, phantsi kwemioki, nemipopulari, namasundu, kuba ulungile umthunzi wayo; ke ngoko, iintombi zenu ziyakrexeza, namadoda enu ayakrexeza.

14Andiyi kuzivelela iintombi zenu, ngokokuba zihenyuza, nabalingane benu bekrexeza; ngokuba bewaqhawule umtshato namahenyukazi, babingelela namahenyukazi; ngenxa yoko abantu abangaqondiyo baya kukhubeka.

15Ke ukuba uthe wakrexeza, Sirayeli, makangoni uYuda; musani ukuya eGiligali, musani ukunyuka niye eBhetaven, ningafungi, nithi, Ehleli nje uYehova!

16Ngokuba ukreqile uSirayeli njengethokazi lenkomo; ngoku, uYehova uya kubalusa njengemvana endaweni ebanzi.

17uEfrayim uhlobene nezithixo; makame.

18Isiselo sabo simuncu, bayahenyuza ngamaxesha onke; Amagosa akhe afuna ukuhlazeka, akunike.

19Umoya umbambile ngamaphiko akhe, kwaye baya kuba neentloni yimibingelelo yabo.
