1 Isono sakoJuda sibhaliwe ngepheni yensimbi, ^a ngomcijo wendayimana; ^b sibhalwe ngokugujwa esibhebheni senhliziyo yabo, ^c lezimpondweni ^d zamalathi enu; ^{e
,} ^f 2 abantwana babo besakhumbula amalathi abo ^g lezixuku zabo ^h ngasezihlahleni eziluhlaza phezu kwamaqaqa aphakemeyo. ⁱ 3 Wena ntaba yami esegangeni, ^j ngizanikela imfuyo yakho lakho konke okuligugu kwakho empangweni, ^k lezindawo zakho eziphakemeyo, ngenxa yesono kuyo yonke imingcele yakho. 4 Lawe, ngitsho ngokwakho, uzayekela ilifa lakho engakunika lona; ^l njalo ngizakwenza usebenzele izitha zakho ^m elizweni ongalaziyo; ^{n
,} ^o ngoba usuphembe umlilo ekuthukutheleni kwami; uzavutha kuze kube nininini.

5 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Uqalekisiwe umuntu othembela emuntwini, ^p esenza inyama ibe yingalo yakhe, ^q lonhliziyo yakhe iphambuka eNkosini. 6 Ngoba uzakuba njengesihlahlanyana enkangala, ^{r
,} ^s esingayikubona nxa okuhle kusiza; ^t kodwa uzahlala ezindaweni ezomileyo enkangala, elizweni letshwayi, ^u elingahlalwayo. ^v 7 Ubusisiwe umuntu othembela eNkosini, ^w lothemba lakhe liyiNkosi. ^x 8 Ngoba uzakuba njengesihlahla esihlanyelwe ngasemanzini, ^y esinabisela impande zaso ngasemfuleni, esingesabi lapho kufika ukutshisa, kodwa ihlamvu laso lizakuba luhlaza; ^z kasikhathazeki emnyakeni wokubalela, kasiyekeli ukuthela isithelo.

9 Inhliziyo ^aa ilenkohliso okwedlula konke, ^ab futhi imbi kakhulu; ^ac ngubani ongayazi? 10 Mina Nkosi ngihlola inhliziyo, ^ad ngilinge izinso, ^ae ngitsho ukupha wonke umuntu njengokwezindlela zakhe, ^af njengokwesithelo sezenzo zakhe.

11 Njengethendele elifukamela amaqanda lingawachamuseli, ^ag unjalo lowo owenza inotho kodwa hatshi ngokulunga; uzakutshiya ^ah phakathi kwensuku zakhe, ^ai lekucineni kwakhe abe yisithutha. ^aj 12 Isihlalo sobukhosi esilenkazimulo, esiphakanyisiweyo kwasekuqaleni, siyindawo yendlu yethu engcwele. 13 Nkosi, themba likaIsrayeli, ^ak bonke abakudelayo bazayangeka; ^al labasuka kimi bazabhalwa emhlabathini, ^am ngoba bayidelile iNkosi, ^{an
,} ^ao umthombo wamanzi aphilayo. ^ap 14 Ngisilisa, Nkosi, njalo ngizasila; ^aq ngisindisa, njalo ngizasindiswa; ngoba uyindumiso yami. ^ar

15 Khangela, bathi kimi: Lingaphi ilizwi leNkosi? ^as Kalize khathesi! ^at 16 Kodwa mina kangiphangisanga ^{au
,} ^av ukuthi ngingabi ngumelusi ^aw emva kwakho; futhi kangilufisanga usuku olwesabekayo; ^ax wena uyakwazi; okwaphuma emlonyeni wami ^ay kwakuphambi kobuso bakho. ^az 17 Ungabi luvalo kimi; wena uyisiphephelo sami osukwini lobubi. ^ba 18 Kabayangeke labo abangizingelayo, ^bb kodwa mina kangingayangeki, ^bc kabesabe bona, kodwa mina kangingesabi; behlisele usuku lobubi, ubephule ^bd ngokwephula okuphindiweyo. ^be

Isabatha limele ukugcinwa

19 Itsho njalo iNkosi kimi: Hamba uyekuma esangweni labantwana babantu, angena ngalo amakhosi akoJuda, ^bf aphuma ngalo, lakuwo wonke amasango eJerusalema, 20 ubususithi kubo: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, ^bg lina makhosi akoJuda, loJuda wonke, labo bonke abahlali beJerusalema, ^bh abangena ngala amasango! 21 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ziqapheleni, lingathwali mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha, ^bi kumbe liwungenise ngamasango eJerusalema. 22 Futhi lingakhuphi umthwalo ezindlini zenu ngosuku lwesabatha, lingenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi; ^bj kodwa lungcweliseni usuku lwesabatha, ^bk njengalokhu ngalaya oyihlo. ^bl 23 Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga indlebe yabo, ^bm kodwa benza intamo yabo yaba lukhuni ukuze bangezwa, ^bn lokuze bangemukeli ukulaywa. ^bo 24 Kuzakuthi-ke uba lina lingilalela lokungilalela, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi lingangenisi mthwalo ngamasango alumuzi ngosuku lwesabatha, ^bp kodwa lilungcwelise usuku lwesabatha, ^bq ukuthi lingenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo; 25 khona kuzangena ngamasango alumuzi amakhosi leziphathamandla abahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, ^br begade izinqola lamabhiza, ^bs wona leziphathamandla zawo, abantu bakoJuda, labahlali beJerusalema; lalumuzi uzahlalwa kuze kube nininini. 26 Bazakuza-ke bevela emizini yakoJuda, ^bt lezindaweni ezizingelezele iJerusalema, ^{bu
,} ^bv lelizweni lakoBhenjamini, ^bw legcekeni, ^{bx
,} ^{by

,} ^{cc
,} ^cd beletha umnikelo wokutshiswa, lomhlatshelo, lomnikelo wokudla, lenhlaka, beletha umhlatshelo wokubonga, ^ce endlini yeNkosi. 27 Kodwa uba lingangilaleli, ukwenza usuku lwesabatha lube ngcwele, ^cf ukuthi lingathwali mthwalo ^cg nxa lingena ngamasango eJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha, khona ngizaphemba umlilo emasangweni ayo, ^ch ozaqothula izigodlo zeJerusalema, ^ci ongayikucitshwa. ^cj
