Isiphephelo Sabaxoshiweyo
Ababaleki bakwaMowabi baphaphazela njengesidleke esihlakazekile futhi batshelwa ukuba baphephe emthunzini weSiyoni, lapho kunikezwa khona isihlalo sobukhosi sothando lwesivumelwano. Kodwa ukuzidla kukaMowabi kungukuziqhayisa okuyize, nemithandazo yakhe endaweni ephakemeyo ngeke iphumelele. UBaba wethu ukhulumile; nokho umprofethi uyakhala.
16 1Thumelani amawundlu kumbusi wezwe, nisuka eSela ngendlela yasehlane, niye entabeni yendodakazi yaseSiyoni. 2Njengezinyoni eziphaphazelayo, njengesidleke esihlakazekile, kunjalo ngamadodakazi akwaMowabi emazibukweni e-Arinoni. 3Yiphani iseluleko; nikezani ubulungisa; yenzani umthunzi wenu ube njengobusuku emini enkulu. Fihlani abaxoshiweyo; ningamkhapheli obalekile. 4Abaxoshiweyo bami mabahlale phakathi kwakho, Mowabi; yiba yisiphephelo kubo esichithini. Lapho umcindezeli engasekho, nencithakalo isiphelile, nabanyathelayo benyamalele ezweni, 5khona isihlalo sobukhosi siyakumiswa ngothando lwesivumelwano, kuhlale kuso ngokwethembeka, ethenteni likaDavide, lowo owahlulelayo efuna ubulungisa esheshisa ukwenza ukulunga. 6Sizwile ngokuziphakamisa kukaMowabi—ukuthi uziqhenya kangakanani—ngokuzidla kwakhe, ukuziphakamisa kwakhe, nolaka lwakhe; ukuzibonga kwakhe kuyize. 7Ngalokho uMowabi makalile ngoMowabi; wonke umuntu makalile. Lilani, nishayeke nya, ngamaqebelengwane amagilebhisi omisiwe aseKiri Hareseti. 8Ngokuba amasimu aseHeshiboni ayabuna, nomvini waseSibima; ababusi bezizwe babhidlize amagatsha awo akhethekileyo, ayefinyelela kude kuze kube seJazeri aduka aya ehlane; amahlumela awo asabalala awela ulwandle. 9Ngalokho ngikhala ngokukhala kweJazeri ngomvini waseSibima; ngikuthambisa ngezinyembezi zami, Heshiboni ne-Eleyale, ngokuba phezu kwezithelo zakho zasehlobo nokuvuna kwakho kuwele umsindo wempi. 10Injabulo nentokozo kususiwe ensimini ethela izithelo, nasezivinini akusahlatshelelwa izingoma, akusenanyakazo yentokozo. Akekho osanyathela iwayini ezikhamweni; ngiwuqedile umsindo wokumemeza. 11Ngalokho inhliziyo yami ibubula njengehabhu ngoMowabi, nangaphakathi kwami konke ngoKiri Heresi. a a v11 Inhliziyo kaBaba wethu iyabubula ngisho nangoMowabi — usizi lwakhe lufinyelela kubo bonke abantu ukwahlulela kwakhe okubathintayo. 12Kuyothi lapho uMowabi eziveza, lapho ezikhandla endaweni ephakemeyo, eza endlini yakhe engcwele ukuba akhuleke, akayikunqoba. b b v12 'Indawo ephakemeyo' kwakuyindawo engcwele esiqongweni sentaba eyayisetshenziselwa ukukhonza nokuhlaba kwabahedeni.
13Yileli izwi uBaba wethu alikhuluma ngoMowabi esikhathini esadlulayo.
14Kodwa manje uBaba wethu usekhulumile wathi: “Eminyakeni emithathu, njengeminyaka yesisebenzi esiqashiweyo, inkazimulo kaMowabi iyokwedelelwa, naphezu kobuningi bakhe bonke; insali iyoba yidlanzana elincane kakhulu nelibuthakathaka.”
