1 Lalelani, bantu bami, umthetho wami, libeke indlebe yenu emazwini omlomo wami ^a. 2 Ngizavula umlomo wami ^b ngomfanekiso ^c, ngikhuphe ^d izimfihlakalo zendulo ^e, 3 esizizwileyo lesizaziyo, obaba abasitshela zona ^f. 4 Kasiyikuzifihlela abantwana babo ^g, kusizukulwana esilandelayo, silandisa izindumiso zeNkosi, lamandla ayo ^h, lezimangaliso ezenzileyo ⁱ.

5 Ngoba wamisa ubufakazi ^j koJakobe ^k, wabeka umlayo koIsrayeli, awulaya obaba ^l, ukuze bawazise abantwana babo ^m, 6 ukuze isizukulwana esilandelayo sazi ⁿ, abantwana abazazalwa ^o, basukume batshele abantwana babo ^p, 7 ukuze babeke ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu, bangayikhohlwa imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu ^q, kodwa bagcine imithetho yakhe ^r; 8 njalo bangabi njengaboyise ^s, isizukulwana esilenkani ^{t
,} ^u lesivukelayo ^{v
,} ^w, isizukulwana esingaqondisanga inhliziyo yaso, lesimoya waso ungathembekanga kuNkulunkulu ^x.

9 Abantwana bakoEfrayimi, behlomile ^y betshoka ngamadandili ^{z
,} ^aa, babuyela emuva mhla wempi ^ab. 10 Kabasilondolozanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bala ukuhamba emlayweni wakhe. 11 Bakhohlwa izenzo zakhe ^ac lezimangaliso zakhe ayebatshengisa zona ^ad.

12 Phambi kwaboyise wenza isimangaliso ^ae elizweni leGibhithe, egangeni leZowani ^af. 13 Waqhekeza ulwandle, wabachaphisa ^ag, wenza amanzi ema njengenqumbi ^ah. 14 Wabakhokhela ngeyezi emini, lebusuku bonke ngokukhanya komlilo ^ai. 15 Waqhekeza amadwala enkangala, wabanathisa kungathi kuvela ezinzikini ezinkulu ^aj. 16 Waseveza izifula ^ak edwaleni ^al, wenza amanzi ehla njengemifula.

17 Kodwa baphinda futhi ukona kuye, ngokumvukela oPhezukonke ^am enkangala ^an. 18 Bamlinga uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yabo ngokucela ukudla kwenkanuko yabo ^ao. 19 Basebekhuluma bemelene loNkulunkulu bathi: UNkulunkulu angalungisa itafula enkangala yini ^ap? 20 Khangela, watshaya idwala ^aq, kwampompoza amanzi, lezifula zagabha ^ar; anganika lesinkwa yini? angalungisela abantu bakhe inyama na ^as? 21 Ngakho iNkosi yezwa yathukuthela ^at; umlilo wasubaselwa ^au uJakobe ^av, njalo lolaka lwavukela ^aw uIsrayeli ^ax, 22 ngoba kabakholwanga kuNkulunkulu, kabathembanga esindisweni lwakhe ^ay. 23 Lanxa walaya amayezi ngaphezulu, wavula iminyango yamazulu ^az, 24 wabanisela imana ukuthi badle ^ba, wabapha amabele amazulu ^bb. 25 Umuntu wadla isinkwa sabalamandla ^bc; wabathumela ukudla ukuze basuthe ^bd. 26 Wenza umoya wempumalanga wavunguza emazulwini; langamandla akhe waqhuba umoya weningizimu ^be. 27 Wasenisela phezu kwabo inyama njengothuli ^bf, lenyoni ezilempiko njengetshebetshebe lolwandle ^bg; 28 wazenza zawela phakathi kwenkamba yabo, zagombolozela indawo zabo zokuhlala ^bh. 29 Ngakho badla basutha kakhulu ^bi, ngoba wabalethela isiloyiso sabo ^bj. 30 Kabehlukananga lenkanuko yabo ^bk; ukudla kusesemlonyeni wabo ^bl, 31 ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwaselubavukela ^bm, wabulala kwabakhulupheleyo babo, watshaya abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli ^bn.

32 Kulokhu konke bajinga besona ^bo, njalo kabakholwanga ngenxa yezimangaliso zakhe ^bp. 33 Ngakho waziqeda izinsuku zabo ^bq ngeze ^br, leminyaka yabo ovalweni. 34 Lapho ebabulala, bamdinga ^bs, baphenduka ^bt, bamdingisisa uNkulunkulu ^{bu
,} ^bv. 35 Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulidwala labo ^bw, loNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ungumhlengi wabo ^bx. 36 Kodwa bamyenga ngomlomo wabo ^by, baqamba amanga kuye ngolimi lwabo ^bz. 37 Ngoba inhliziyo yabo ^ca yayingaqondanga kuye ^cb, njalo bengathembekanga esivumelwaneni sakhe ^cc. 38 Kodwa yena elesihawu ^cd wathethelela ububi babo, kababhubhisanga ^ce; yebo, kanengi walunqanda ulaka lwakhe, kakuvusanga konke ukuthukuthela kwakhe. 39 Ngoba wakhumbula ^cf ukuthi bayinyama ^cg, umoya odlulayo, ongabuyiyo ^{ch
,} ^ci.

40 Kanengi kangakanani bemvukela ehlane, bemdabukisa ^cj enkangala ^ck. 41 Yebo baphenduka bamlinga uNkulunkulu ^cl, bamdabukisa ^cm oNgcwele kaIsrayeli ^cn. 42 Kabasikhumbulanga isandla sakhe, usuku abahlenga ngalo esitheni ^co. 43 Ukuthi wamisa njani ^cp izibonakaliso zakhe eGibhithe ^cq, lezimangaliso zakhe ^{cr
,} ^cs emmangweni weZowani ^ct, 44 lokuthi waphendula imifula yabo yaba ligazi ^cu, lezifula zabo, ukuze banganathi ^cv. 45 Wathumela phakathi kwabo umtshitshi wezibawu, ezabadlayo ^cw, lamaxoxo ababhubhisayo ^cx. 46 Wasenika imihogoyi isivuno sabo ^cy, lomsebenzi wabo isikhonyane ^cz. 47 Wabulala ivini labo ngesiqhotho ^da, lemikhiwa yabo yesikhamore ngongqwaqwane ^db. 48 Wasenikela izifuyo zabo esiqhothweni, lemihlambi yabo kuyo imibane. 49 Waphosela phezu kwabo ukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuthukuthela, lokucunuka, lokuhlupheka, ngokuthuma izithunywa zobubi ^dc. 50 Walungisela ulaka lwakhe indlela, kanqandanga umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, kodwa wanikela impilo yabo kumatshayabhuqe wesifo ^dd. 51 Wasetshaya wonke amazibulo eGibhithe ^de, okokuqala kwamandla emathenteni ^df kaHamu ^dg. 52 Wasebakhupha abantu bakhe ^dh njengezimvu ^di, wabakhokhela enkangala njengomhlambi ^dj. 53 Wasebakhokhela bephephile ukuze bangesabi ^{dk
,} ^dl; kodwa ulwandle lwasibekela izitha zabo ^dm. 54 Wasebafikisa emkhawulweni wendawo yakhe engcwele ^dn, le intaba, isandla sakhe sokunene esayizuzayo ^{do
,} ^dp. 55 Wasebaxotsha abezizwe phambi kwabo ^dq; wababela ilifa ^dr ngomzila ^ds, wahlalisa izizwe zakoIsrayeli emathenteni azo.

56 Kanti ^dt bamlinga ^du, bamvukela uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ^dv, kabazigcinanga izifakazelo zakhe. 57 Kodwa babuyela emuva, benza ngokungathembeki njengaboyise ^dw, baphanjulwa njengedandili elikhohlisayo ^dx. 58 Ngoba bamthukuthelisa ^dy ngezindawo zabo eziphakemeyo ^dz, bavusa umona wakhe ^ea ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo ^eb. 59 UNkulunkulu esizwa wathukuthela ^ec, wamenyanya kakhulu uIsrayeli ^ed. 60 Ngakho walitshiya ^ee ithabhanekele ^ef leShilo ^eg, ithente ^eh alimisa phakathi kwabantu ^ei. 61 Wasenikela amandla akhe ^ej ekuthunjweni ^ek, lenkazimulo yakhe esandleni sesitha. 62 Wasenikela abantu bakhe ^el enkembeni ^em, waselithukuthelela ilifa lakhe ^en. 63 Umlilo waqeda amajaha abo, lezintombi zabo kazihlatshelelwanga. 64 Abapristi babo bawa ngenkemba ^eo, labafelokazi babo ^ep kabalilanga ^eq.

65 Khona iNkosi yavuka njengobelele ^er, njengeqhawe eliklabalala ngenxa yewayini ^es. 66 Yazitshaya izitha zayo emuva, yazithela ihlazo phakade ^et. 67 Yasilahla ithente ^eu likaJosefa, kayikhethanga isizwe sakoEfrayimi ^ev. 68 Kodwa yakhetha isizwe sakoJuda, intaba yeZiyoni eyithandayo ^ew. 69 Yayakha indlu yayo engcwele njengezingqonga, njengomhlaba ewusekeleyo kuze kube nininini. 70 Yasikhetha uDavida inceku yayo ^ex, yamthatha ezibayeni zezimvu ^ey; 71 ekulandeleni izimvukazi ezenyisayo ^ez, yamletha ukwelusa ^fa uJakobe abantu bayo ^fb, loIsrayeli ^fc ilifa layo ^fd. 72 Njalo wabelusa njengobuqotho benhliziyo yakhe ^fe, wabakhokhela ngobugabazi bezandla zakhe ^ff.
