1Maye kimi! Ngokuba nginjengokuvunwa kwezithelo zasehlobo, njengokukhothozwa komvini; akukho hlukuzo lokudliwa; umphefumulo wami uyafisa ikhiwane eliyingqalabutho.

2Abathembekileyo babhubhile emhlabeni, akakho oqotho phakathi kwabantu; bonke baqamekela igazi; bayazingelana, kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo ngenetha.

3Izandla zabo ziphezu kokubi ukukuthuthukisa; isikhulu sinesicelo, umahluleli ubheka umvuzo; omkhulu ukhuluma ngesifiso somphefumulo wakhe; bayakwalukanisa.

4Omuhle wabo unjengobobe, olungileyo mubi kunothango lwameva; usuku lwabalindi bakho nolokuhanjelwa kwakho lufikile; sekuyakuba ngukukhungatheka kubo.

5Ningamethembi umngane, ningakholwa ngumhlobo; gcina iminyango yomlomo wakho kuye olala ngasesifubeni sakho.

6Ngokuba indodana idelela uyise; indodakazi ivukela unina; umalokazana uvukela uninazala, nezitha zomuntu ngamadoda endlu yakhe.

7Kepha mina ngiyakumbheka uJehova; ngiyakulindela uNkulunkulu wokusindiswa kwami; uNkulunkulu wami uyakungizwa.

8Ungathokozi ngami, sitha sami; ngokuba uma ngiwile, ngiyakuvuka; lapho ngihlezi ebumnyameni, uJehova uzakuba ngukukhanya kwami.

9Ngiyakuthwala ulaka lukaJehova, ngokuba ngonile kuye, aze amele indaba yami, angenzele ukwahlulelwa, angiphumisele ekukhanyeni, ngibone ukulunga kwakhe.

10Isitha sami siyakukubona, sisitshekelwe ngamahloni, esona besithi kimi: “Uphi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho?” Amehlo ami ayakusibona; manje siyakunyathelwa njengodaka lwasezitaladini.

11Kuyakufika usuku lokwakha izingange zakho; ngalolo suku umkhawulo wakho uyakudediselwa kude.

12Ngalolo suku bayakufika kuwe bevela e-Asiriya nasemizini yaseGibithe, kusukela eGibithe kuze kube seMfuleni,* kusukela elwandle kuze kube selwandle, kusukela entabeni kuze kube sentabeni.

13Kepha izwe liyakuba yincithakalo ngenxa yabakhileyo kulo ngezenzo zabo.

14Yalusa abantu bakho ngentonga yakho, izimvu zefa lakho ezihlala zodwa ehlathini phakathi kweKarmeli; mazaluke eBashani nakwaGileyadi njengasezinsukwini zasendulo.

15“Njengasezinsukwini zokuphuma kwakho ezweni laseGibithe ngiyakubabonisa izimangaliso.”

16Abezizwe bayakubona, babe namahloni ngamandla abo onke, babeke isandla sabo emlonyeni wabo, izindlebe zabo zibe yizithulu.

17Bayakukhotha uthuli njengenyoka, baphume bethuthumela njengezinto ezinabuzelayo emhlabathini ezindaweni zazo ezivalelweyo, bafike ngokuqhaqhazela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, besabe ngenxa yakho.

18Ngubani onguNkulunkulu onjengawe othethelela insali yefa lakho ububi bayo, uyiyekele isiphambeko sayo, na? Akabambeleli entukuthelweni yakhe kuze kube phakade, ngokuba wenamela umusa.

19Uyakubuye asibekezelele, anyathele phansi ububi bethu; yebo, uyakuphonsa zonke izono zabo ekujuleni kolwandle.

20Uyakunika uJakobe ukuthembeka no-Abrahama umusa owakufungela obaba kwasezinsukwini zasendulo.
