1Yabona, ndiyasithuma umthunywa wam, agece indlela phambi kwam; Iya kuza ke ngesiquphe etempileni yayo iNkosi leyo niyilindeleyo, uMthunywa womnqophiso enivuya naso; yabona, uyeza, utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

2Ngubani na ke onokuyinyamezela imini yakuza kwakhe? ngubani na oya kubakho ekubonakaleni kwakhe? ngokuba unjengomlilo womnyibilikisi, unjengesepha yomxovuli;

3Uya kuhlala ke engumsulungekisi nomsulungekisi wesilivere, abasulungekise oonyana bakaLevi, abahluze njengegolide nesilivere, ukuze bazise umnikelo kuYehova ngobulungisa.

4Yaye umbingelelo wakwaYuda nowaseYerusalem uya kumkholisa uYehova njengakwimihla yakudala nanjengakwiminyaka yokuqala.

5Ndiya kusondela kuni ukuba ndigwebe; ndibe lingqina elikhawulezayo kubakhafuli, nakubakrexezi, nakubafungi bobuxoki, nakubacudisa umqeshwa ngenxa yomvuzo wakhe, nakubahlolokazi, nenkedama, nomphambukeli ophambukayo esandleni sakhe sokunene, engoyiki nto mna, utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

6Kuba mna, Yehova, anditshintshanga; ngoko ke, oonyana bakho bakaYakobi abazange batshabalale.

7Ukususela kwimihla yookhokho benu niye nayishiya imiyalelo yam emiselweyo, anayigcina. Buyelani kum, ndibuyele kuni, utsho uYehova wemikhosi. Ke nina nithi, Siya kubuyela phi na?

8Umntu angamtshabalalisa na uThixo? Usandidinga. Kodwa uthi: Sakubela ntoni? Izishumi neminikelo.

9Uqalekisiwe ngesiqalekiso, ngenxa yokuba undibethe, ewe, olu hlanga luphela.

10Zisani zonke izishumi ebuncwaneni, ukuze kubekho ukudla endlwini yam; khanindicikide ngale nto, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ukuba andithanga ndikuvulele na iingcango zezulu, ndinisikelele, ndinivulele iingcango zezulu. Ingakuchitheli kuhle, ukuba akuyi kubakho indawo eyaneleyo yokuyifumana.

11Ndiya kumvelela odlayo ngenxa yenu, angonakalisi iziqhamo zelizwe lenu; nomdiliya wenu awusayi kusithela emasimini, phambi kwexesha lawo; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

12Zonke iintlanga zothi nithamsanqelekile, kuba niya kuba lilizwe eliligugu, utsho uNdikhoyo onamandla onke.

13Amazwi enu aye aqatha kum, utsho uYehova. Ke nina nithi, Yini na ukuba sithethe kangaka ngawe?

14Nithi, Kulilize ukumkhonza uThixo; yaye kunceda ngantoni ukuba sigcine umyalelo wakhe size sihambe silusizi phambi koYehova wemikhosi?

15Kungokunje sithi banoyolo abanekratshi; ewe, abo benza ububi bayaqinisekiswa; Ewe, abo bacelayo kuThixo bayakhululwa.

16Ke abamoyikayo uYehova bathetha elowo nowabo;

17Yaye baya kuba ngabam, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ngaloo mini ndisenza amatye am ayimfuneko; yaye ndiya kubaconga njengomntu oconga unyana wakhe omkhonzayo.

18Kulapho ke uya kubuyela khona, uhlule phakathi kwelungisa nongendawo, omkhonzayo uThixo nongamkhonziyo.
