1Vuthelani isigodlo eZiyon, mbulaleni ukumkani entabeni yam engcwele; mabangcangcazele bonke abemi behlabathi, ngokuba isiza imini kaYehova, kuba ikufuphi;

2Yimini yobumnyama nobumnyama, yimini yamafu nesithokothoko, njengokusa kwesifingo phezu kweentaba, luhlanga olukhulu, olunamandla; alizange libekho, aliyi kubakho nakwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.

3Kutsha umlilo phambi kwabo; nasemva kwabo kuvutha amadangatye; ihlabathi linjengomyezo wase-Eden phambi kwabo; ewe, akukho nto iya kusinda.

4Injengokubonakala kwamahashe imbonakalo yabo; nanjengabamahashe, benjenjalo ukubaleka.

5Baya kutsiba njengesandi seenqwelo ezincotsheni zeentaba, njengesandi selangatye leendiza ezitsha, njengamagorha amise uluhlu lwedabi.

6Phambi kobuso babo abantu baya kubandezeleka kakhulu; bonke ubuso buya kuba mnyama.

7Baya kubaleka njengamagorha; baya kunyuka udonga njengamadoda okulwa; yaye baya kuhamba ngamnye ngendlela yakhe yaye abayi kuphambuka kumaqonga abo.

8Akukho namnye unako ukutyhala omnye; baya kuhamba elowo ngendlela yakhe, nokuba bathe bawa ngekrele, abayi kunqunyulwa.

9Baya kubalekela esixekweni; babalekela eludongeni, benyuka ezindlwini; baya kungena ngeefestile njengesela.

10Umhlaba uyanyikima phambi kwabo; liya kunyikima izulu, libe mnyama ilanga nenyanga, zibe mnyama iinkwenkwezi ekukhanyeni kwazo.

11uYehova uya kuliphakamisa izwi lakhe phambi kwamaqela akhe, ngokuba mininzi kakhulu iminquba yakhe; ngokuba inkulu imini kaYehova, yoyikeka kunene; ngubani na onyamezeleyo?

12Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi, nibuye nimke kum ngeentliziyo zenu zonke, ngokuzila, ngokulila, nangobumnyama;

13nikrazule iintliziyo zenu, ingabi ziingubo zenu, nibuyele kuYehova uThixo wenu;

14Ngubani na owaziyo ukuba wobuya aguquke, ashiye intsikelelo ngasemva kwakhe; umnikelo wokudla okuziinkozo nomnikelo othululwayo kaYehova uThixo wenu?

15Vuthelani isigodlo eZiyon, ngcwalisani imini yokuzila, memani ingqungquthela.

16Hlanganisani abantu, ngcwalisani ibandla, hlanganisani amadoda amakhulu, hlanganisani abantwana nabanyanyisayo; Umyeni makaphume egumbini lakhe, nomtshakazi aphume egumbini lakhe.

17Bafanele balile ababingeleli, abakhonzi bakaYehova, phakathi kweveranda nesibingelelo, bathi, ‘Bashiye abantu bakho, Yehova, unganikeli ilifa lakho lidelele, ukuze zilawule iintlanga; abaya kuthi phakathi kwabantu, Uphi na uThixo wabo?

18uYehova uya kuba nekhwele ngelizwe lakhe aze abe nenceba kubantu bakhe.

19Waphendula uYehova, wathi ebantwini bakhe, Yabonani, ndinithumela ingqolowa, newayini entsha, neoli, eniya kwaneliswa zizo; andiyi kuba sanenza nibe sisingcikivo ezintlangeni.

20Ndiya kuyishenxisa kuwe imikhosi yasentla, ndiyiqhubele ezweni elingumqwebedu, enkangala, elibheke kulwandle lwaseBhabheli, ngecala lolwandle ngokuba wenza izinto ezinkulu.

21Musa ukoyika, hlabathi; vuyani nigcobe, ngokuba uYehova wenza izinto ezinkulu.

22Musani ukoyika, mpahla inkulu yelizwe; kuba amakriwa asentlango ahluma;

23Nina nyana baseZiyon, yibani nemihlali nigcobe ngoYehova uThixo wenu; ngokuba elungisele imvula yasentwasahlobo, aninike iimvula, iimvula ezinkulu, nezivuvuvuvu ngenyanga yokuqala.

24Izanda ziya kuzala yingqolowa, namanqatha aphuphume yiwayini neoli;

25Ndonibuyisela ke iminyaka eyadliwa ziinkumbi, neenkumbi, neenkumbi, neenkumbi, nomkhosi wam omkhulu, endiwuthumele phakathi kwenu.

26Niya kudla nize nihluthe, nilidumise igama likaYehova uThixo wenu onidale ngendlela emangalisayo; yaye abantu bam abayi kudana naphakade;

27nazi ukuba ndiphakathi kwamaSirayeli, ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu, akukho wumbi; yaye abantu bam abayi kudana naphakade.

28Emva koko ndiya kuthulula uMoya wam phezu kwenyama yonke; oonyana benu neentombi zenu baya kuprofeta, amadoda enu amakhulu aphuphe amaphupha, amadodana enu abone imibono.

29Kwaye phezu kwabakhonzi nabakhonzazana ndothulula uMoya wam ngelo xesha.

30Ndiya kwenza izimanga ezulwini nasehlabathini, igazi nomlilo nentshinyela yomsi.

31Ilanga liya kujika libe bubumnyama nenyanga ibe ligazi, ngaphambi kokuba ifike imini kaYehova enkulu neyoyikekayo.

32Yaye wonk’ ubani obiza egameni likaYehova uya kusindiswa; ngokuba entabeni yeZiyon naseYerusalem kuya kubakho usindiso, njengoko watshoyo uYehova; naphakathi kwabaseleyo kubekho awobabiza uYehova.
