IHubo 50:1-23
Ihubo lika-Asafi.+
50 Usekhulumile uJehova uNkulunkulu omkhulu kulabo bonke+ onkulunkulu,Usebize bonke abantu bomhlaba,Kusukela empumalanga kusiya entshonalanga.
2 UNkulunkulu uyakhazimula eZiyoni, idolobho elihle okwamagama.+
3 UNkulunkulu wethu uzakuza futhi kasoze athule,+Phambi kwakhe kulomlilo ovuthayo,+Njalo uhanqwe yisiphepho esilamandla.+
4 Ubiza amazulu lomhlaba+Ukuze ahlulele abantu bakhe. Uthi:+
5 “Bizani abaqotho bami baze kimi,Labo abenza isivumelwano lami ngomhlatshelo.”+
6 Amazulu amemezela ukulunga kwakhe,UNkulunkulu unguMahluleli.+ (Selah)
7 “Lalelani bantu bami ngikhulume,Bantu bako-Israyeli, ngizafakaza ukuthi lilecala.+
Mina nginguNkulunkulu, nginguNkulunkulu wenu.+
8 Imihlatshelo yenu ayisiyo eyenza ngilisole,Leminikelo yokutshiswa elihlala lingenzela yona ayisiyo eyenza ngilikhuze.+
9 Akudingi ukuthi ngize ngithathe inkunzi emizini yenu,Kumbe imbuzi* ezibayeni zenu,+
10 Ngoba zonke inyamazana zeganga ngezami,+Ngitsho lenyamazana ezisezintabeni, zonke ngezami.
11 Ngiyazazi zonke inyoni ezisezintabeni,+Ngezami zonke inyamazana ezisegangeni.
12 Aluba bengilambile bengingasoze ngilitsheleNgoba ilizwe ngelami, lakho konke okukulo.+
13 Kambe ngidla inyama yenkomo,Nginathe legazi lembuzi?+
14 Ukubonga yikho okumele kube ngumhlatshelo eliwunika uNkulunkulu,+Ligcwalise izifungo elizenza koPhezukonke.+
15 Ngibizani nxa lisebunzimeni.+
Ngizalikhulula beselingikhazimulisa.”+
16 Kodwa uNkulunkulu uzakuthi komubi:
“Ngubani okunike ilungelo lokukhuluma ngemithetho yami+Kumbe ngesivumelwano sami?+
17 Phela wena uyakuzonda ukulaywa,*Awuwalaleli amazwi ami.+
18 Ungabona isela uyavumelana lelikwenzayo.*+Ungumngane wabantu abafebayo.
19 Uhamba ukhuluma izinto ezimbi ngomlomo wakho,Lolimi lwakho lulobuqili.+
20 Uhlala phansi ukhulume kubi ngomfowenu,+Uchaya egcekeni ukuphambanisa komntakanyoko.*
21 Wathi usenza izinto lezi ngazithulela,Wacina usucabanga ukuthi nginjengawe.
Kodwa khathesi ngizakukhuza,Ngikutshele amacala engikwethesa wona.+
22 Ngicela licabange ngalokhu lina elikhohlwa uNkulunkulu,+Ukuze ngingalidabudabuli liswele umuntu ozalinceda.
23 Lowo onikela ngokubonga uyangikhazimulisa,+Lalowo oqhubeka esenza okulungileyoNgizamenza abone ukusindisa kwami.”+
