< Ezekiela 16 >

1 HIKI mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoike oe ia Ierusalema i kona mau hewa i inainaia;
“Ndodana yomuntu, melana leJerusalema ngezenzo zalo ezinengayo
3 E olelo aku, Ke i mai nei no Iehova ka Haku ia Ierusalema, O kou wahi hanau ai a me kou hanau ana, ma ka aina o Kanaana ia. He Amora kou makuakane, a he Heta kou makuwahine.
uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi kulo iJerusalema: Umdabuko wenu kanye lozalo ngokwaselizweni lamaKhenani; uyihlo wayengumʼAmori unyoko engumHithi.
4 A i kou hanau ana, i ka la i hanau ai oe, aole i okiia kou piko, aole hoi i holoiia me ka wai i maemae; aole hoi oe i hoopaakai iki ia, aole hoi i wahi iki ia.
Ngosuku owazalwa ngalo ufokothi lwakho kaluqunywanga, njalo kawugeziswanga ngamanzi ukuba uhlambuluke, kumbe uhlikihlwe ngetswayi loba ugoqelwe ngamalembu.
5 Aohe maka i aloha ia oe, e hana aku i kahi o keia mau mea nou, e lokomaikai aku ia oe; aka, ua kiolaia'ku oe ma ke kula mawaho, i ka hoowahawahaia o kou kino, i kou la i hanauia'i.
Kakho owaba lozwelo kuwe loba owaba lesihawu ukuba akwenzele okunye kwalezizinto. Kodwa waphoselwa etshatshalazini leganga, ngoba ngosuku owazalwa ngalo weyiswa.
6 A maalo ae la au ma ou la, a ike ia oe e paumaele ana i kou koko iho, i aku la au ia oe iloko o kou koko, E ola; oiaio, ua olelo aku au ia oe iloko o kou koko, E ola.
Kwathi lapho ngidlula eduze ngakubona uqhatshaqhatsha phakathi kwegazi lakho, njalo kwathi ulele phakathi khonapho kwegazi lakho ngathi kuwe, “Phila!”
7 Ua hoonui aku au ia oe e like me ka opuu o ke kula, a nui ae nei oe a mahuahua, a hiki oe i ka wa i maikai loa ai ke kino; ua nui na puuwaiu, a ua ulu kou lauoho, aka, ua olohelohe aku la oe, aole i uhiia.
Ngakukhulisa njengesihlahla seganga. Wakhula waqina waba yilitshe eliligugu elihle kakhulu kulawo wonke. Waphuhla lenwele zakho zakhula, wena owawunqunu uze.
8 A i ko'u maalo ana'e ma ou la, a nana aku ia oe, o ko'u manawa, he manawa aloha no ia, a hohola aku au i ke kihi o ko'u kapa maluna, a uhi ae la i kou olohelohe; hoohiki no hoi au nou, a komo hoi iloko o ka berita me oe, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, a lilo mai oe no'u.
Muva ngadlula eduze futhi, kwathi lapho sengikukhangele ngabona ukuthi wawusukhulile okwanela uthando, ngelulela isembatho sami phezu kwakho ngavala ubunqunu bakho. Ngakufungela ngesifungo sami esiqinisekileyo, ngenza isivumelwano lawe, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, njalo waba ngowami.
9 Alaila holoi aku la au ia oe i ka wai; oia, ua holoi lea aku au i kou koko mai ou aku la, a kahinu aku la au ia oe me ka aila.
Ngakugezisa ngamanzi, ngagezisa legazi kuwe, ngasengikugcoba ngamafutha.
10 Hoaahu aku la au ia oe me na kapa hoonionioia, a hookamaa aku ia oe me ka ili tahasa, kaei aku la au ia oe me ka olona makalii, a hoouhi ae la ia oe me ke silika.
Ngakugqokisa isigqoko esicecisiweyo ngakufaka amanyathelo esikhumba. Ngakugqokisa ilineni elihle ngakwembesa izembatho ezidulayo.
11 Kahiko aku la au ia oe me na mea e nani ai, a kau aku i na kupee ma kou mau lima, a me ke kaula lei ma kou a-i.
Ngakuhlobisa ngamatshe aligugu: Ngafaka amasongo ezingalweni zakho kanye lomgaxo entanyeni yakho,
12 A kau aku la au i ke apo ma kou ihu, a me na apopepeiao ma kou mau pepeiao, a me ka leialii nani maluna o kou poo.
ngasengifaka lesongo empumulweni yakho, lamacici ezindlebeni zakho kanye lomqhele omuhle ekhanda lakho.
13 Kahikoia aku la oe me ke gula a me ke kala, a o kou kapa, he olona, he silika, me ka mea ulana onionioia; a o ka palaoa wali, a me ka meli. a me ka aila kau i ai ai. Nani loa aku la oe, a mahuahua kou pomaikai a aupuni okoa oe.
Waceciswa kanjalo ngegolide langesiliva; izigqoko zakho zazenziwe ngelineni elihle langamalembu adulayo kanye lamalembu acecisiweyo. Waba muhle kakhulu waze wakhuphuka waba yindlovukazi.
14 Laha aku la kou kaulana iwaena o na lahuikauaka no kou nani; no ka mea, ua hemolele aku la ia no kou nani a'u i kau aku ai maluna ou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Udumo lwakho lwagcwala phakathi kwezizwe ngenxa yobuhle bakho, ngoba ubucwazicwazi engangikuphe bona benza ubuhle bakho baphelela, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
15 Aka, hilinai iho la oe i kou nani iho, a ua moe kolohe oe no kou kaulana, a ninini aku oe i kou moe kolohe ana maluna o kela mea keia mea e maalo ae ana; nona no ia.
Kodwa wena wathemba ubuhle bakho wasebenzisa lodumo lwakho ekubeni yisifebe. Wachithela umusa wakho emuntwini wonke odlulayo kwathi ubuhle bakho baba ngobakhe.
16 A lawe oe i kauwahi o kou mau kapa komo, a kahiko aku la i kou mau wahi kiekie me ka onionio, a malaila i moe kolohe ai oe; aole e hiki hou, aole hoi pela.
Wathatha ezinye zezembatho zakho wenza ubucwazicwazi bezindawo eziphakemeyo, lapho owaqhubekela khona ngobuwule bakho. Izinto ezinje akumelanga zenzakale, loba zike zivele zenzeke.
17 A ua lawe oe i kauwahi o kou mau mea nani o ko'u gula a me kuu kala, a'u i haawi aku ai ia oe, a hana aku oe i mau kii o na kanaka nou, a moe kolohe aku me lakou.
Njalo wathatha leziceciso ezinhle zamatshe aligugu engakupha zona, iziceciso ezenziwa ngegolide lami lesiliva, wazenzela izithombe ezinduna wawula lazo.
18 A lawe ae la hoi oe i kou mau kapa onionio a hoouhi aku ia lakou. A ua hoonoho oe i ko'u aila a me ka'u mea ala imua o lakou.
Wathatha lezigqoko zakho ezicecisiweyo ukuba wembese izithombe, wanikela amafutha ami lempepha phambi kwazo.
19 O ka'u ai hoi a'u i haawi aku ai ia oe, ka palaoa wali, ka aila a me ka meli a'u i hauai ai ia oe, oia kau i hoonoho ai imua o lakou i mea ala ono: pela io no hoi, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Lokudla engakupha khona, ifulawa ecolekileyo, amafutha e-oliva kanye loluju engakupha khona ukuba udle, wakunikela phambi kwazo njengempepha elephunga elimnandi. Lokhu yikho okwenzakalayo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
20 A ua lawe hoi oe i kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine au i hanau ai na'u, a o lakou kau i kaumaha ai no lakou e pau i ka aiia. He mea uuku anei keia o kou moe kolohe ana?
Wathatha futhi amadodana akho kanye lamadodakazi owangizalela wona wawanikela njengokudla ezithombeni. Ubufebe bakho babunganelanga na?
21 Ua pepehi aku no oe i ka'u mau keiki, a ua hookuu ia lakou e hoohele mawaena o ke ahi no lakou.
Wabulala abantwabami wabanikela ezithombeni.
22 A iloko o kou mau mea inainaia a me kou moe kolohe ana, aole oe i hoomanao i na la o kou opiopio ana, i kou olohelohe ana, a me ka uhi ole ia, a me kou paumaele ana iloko o kou koko.
Phakathi kwazo zonke izenzo zakho ezinengayo kanye lobufebe bakho kawuzikhumbulanga insuku zebutsheni bakho, lapho wawunqunu njalo uze, uqhatshaqhatsha phakathi kwegazi lakho.
23 Eia hoi keia mahope iho o kau hana hewa ana a pau, (Auwe, auwe oe! wahi a Iehova ka Haku; )
Maye! Maye kuwe, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Phezu kobubi bakho bonke,
24 Ua hana aku hoi oe i hale hookamakama nou, a hana hoi oe i wahi kiekie ma kela alanui a me keia alanui.
wazakhela indunduma wenza lezindawo zokukhonzela ezidephileyo ezinkundleni zonke.
25 Ma kela poo, keia poo o ke ala, ua hana oe i wahi kiekie nou, ua hoolilo oe i kou nani i mea e hoowahawahaia. Ua wehe ae oe i kou mau wawae i kela mea keia mea i maalo ae. A hoonui hoi i kou moe kolohe ana.
Ekuqaliseni kwemigwaqo yonke wakha izindawo zakho zokukhonzela ezidephileyo wonakalisa ubuhle bakho, wanikela umzimba wakho ngokuxabanisa okukhulu kuloba ngubani odlulayo.
26 Ua moe kolohe oe me ko Aigupita kou mau hoalauna, kapoe io nui; a ua hoomahuahua i kou moe kolohe ana e hoonaukiuki mai ia'u.
Wenza ubufebe lamaGibhithe, omakhelwane bakho abalesigweba, wangithukuthelisa ngokuba ngubuyazonke kwakho okukhulu.
27 Nolaila hoi, ea, ua kikoo aku au i ko'u lima maluna ou, a ua hoemi au i kau ai, a ua haawi aku au ia oe i ka makemake o ka poe inaina ia oe, i na kaikamahine o ko Pilisetia, na mea i hilahila i kou aoao moe kolohe.
Ngakho ngelula isandla sami ukuba ngimelane lawe nganciphisa ilizwe lakho; ngakunikela ekuphangeni kwezitha zakho, amadodakazi amaFilistiya, ethuswa yikuziphatha kwakho kobuxhwali!
28 A ua moe kolohe no hoi oe me ko Asuria, no kou ana ole ana; a ua moe kolohe oe me lakou, aole hoi oe i ana.
Wenza ubuwule lama-Asiriya futhi, ngoba wawungasuthiseki; njalo langasemva kwalokho wawulokhu ungakholwanga.
29 Ua hoonui hoi oe i kou moe kolohe ana ma ka aina o Kanaana a hiki i Kaledea, aole nae oe i ana ilaila.
Ngakho wandisa ukuxubanisa kwakho ukuba kungenise leBhabhiloni, ilizwe labathengisi, kodwa langalokhu kawusuthisekanga.
30 Pehea ka nawaliwali o kou naau? wahi a Iehova ka Haku, i kau hana ana ia mau mea, i ka hana a ka wahine moe kolohe hilahila ole;
Yeka ubuthakathaka bakho enhliziyweni, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, lapho usenza zonke lezizinto, usenza njengesifebe esingelanhloni!
31 I kau hana i kou hale hookamakama ma ke poo o na kuamoo a pau, a hana hoi i wahi kiekie nou ma na alanui a pau; aole me he wahine hookamakama la, no kou hoowahawaha ana i ka uku;
Lapho usakha amadundulu akho ekuqaliseni kwemigwaqo yonke usenza lezindawo zakho zokukhonzela ezidephileyo ezinkundleni zonke, wawunganjengesifebe, ngoba wala imbadalo ngokweyisa okukhulu.
32 Aka, me he wahine mare la e moe kolohe ana, e lalau ana i na kanaka e, aole i kana kane ponoi!
Wena mfazi oyisifebe! Uthanda izihambi kulomkakho.
33 Ua haawi lakou i na makana i na wahine hookamakama a pau; aka, ua haawi oe i kau mau makana i kau mau ipo a pau, ua hoolimalima oe ia lakou, e hele mai iou la ma kela aoao keia aoao, no kou moe kolohe ana.
Izifebe zonke zamukela imbadalo, kodwa zonke izithandwa zakho uzinika izipho, uzithenga ukuba zize kuwe zivela ezindaweni zonke zilanda ubufebe bakho.
34 He mea e iloko ou, i kou moe kolohe ana, okoa na wahine e no ka hahai ole o kekahi ia oe e moe kolohe; a no kou haawi ana i ka uku, aole hoi uku i haawiia nou; nolaila he mea e oe.
Ngakho ukufeba kwakho kwehlukile kokwabanye; kakho okudingayo ukuba afebe lawe. Wena wehlukile, ngoba uyabhadala kodwa awubhadalwa.
35 Nolaila, e ka wahine moe kolohe, e hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova;
Ngakho-ke, wena sifebe, zwana ilizwi likaThixo!
36 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; No ka nininiia o kou kala keleawe, a me ka hoikeia o kou olohelohe ana, ma kou moe kolohe ana me kau mau ipo, a me ua akua kii a pau o kou mau mea inainaia, ma ke koko o kau mau keiki au i haawi ai ia lakou.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Njengoba wachitha inotho yakho waveza lobunqunu bakho ebufebeni bakho lezithandwa zakho, njalo ngenxa yazo zonke izithombe zakho ezinengayo, langenxa yokuthi wazipha igazi labantwana bakho,
37 Nolaila, ea, e hoakoakoa au i kau mau ipo i lealea pu ai oe, a me ka poe a pau au i makemake ai, a me ka poe a pau au i hoowahawaha ai; e hoakoakoa au ia lakou e ku e ia oe a puni, a e hoike i kou olohelohe ia lakou, a e ike lakou i kou olohelohe a pau.
ngakho-ke ngizaziqoqa zonke izithandwa zakho, owawuthokoza lazo, lezo owawuzithanda kanye lalezo owawuzizonda. Ngizaziqoqa ukuba zimelane lawe zivela ezindaweni zonke ngikunqunule phambi kwazo, njalo zizabubona bonke ubunqunu bakho.
38 A e hoopai aku au ia oe e like me ka hoopaiia o na wahine i uhaki i ka berita mare me ka hookahe koko; a e haawi au ia oe i ke koko o ka ukiuki a me ka lili.
Ngizakunika isigwebo sokujeziswa kwabesifazane abafebayo njalo abachitha igazi; ngizakwehlisela phezu kwakho impindiselo yegazi yolaka lwami kanye lentukuthelo yobukhwele.
39 A e haawi aku au ia oe iloko o ko lakou lima, a e hoohiolo lakou i kou hale hookamakama, e wawahi hoi i kou mau wahi kiekie: a e kaili aku lakou i kou mau kapa ko mo mai ou aku la, a e lawe aku hoi i kau mau mea nani, a e waiho ia oe e olohelohe ana me ka uhi ole ia.
Emva kwalokho ngizakunikela kuzithandwa zakho, zizabhidliza amadundulu akho zidilize lezindawo zakho zokukhonzela ezidephileyo. Zizakuhlubula izigqoko zakho zithathe lemiceciso yakho yamatshe aligugu zikutshiye unqunu njalo uze.
40 E lawe mai lakou i ka aha kanaka ku e ia oe, a e hailuku lakou ia oe me na pohaku, a e hou ia oe me ka lakou mau pahikaua.
Zizaletha ixuku elizamelana lawe, elizakutshaya ngamatshe, likuqumaqume ube yiziqa ngezinkemba zalo.
41 A e puhi lakou i kou mau hale i ke ahi, a e hooili i ka hoopai ana maluna ou imua o na wahine he nui no: a e hooki au i kou moe kolohe ana, aole hoi e haawi hou oe i ka uku.
Bazatshisa izindlu zakho zilobe, bakujezise phambi kwabesifazane abanengi. Ngizabuqeda ubuwule bakho, njalo kawusayikuzibhadala futhi izithandwa zakho.
42 Pela e hoomaha ai au i ko'u ukiuki ia oe, a e haalele ko'u lili ia oe, a e noho malie au aole e huhu hou.
Lapho-ke ulaka lwami kuwe luzadeda, lokuthukuthela kwami kobukhwele kuzasuka kuwe; ngizaphola ngingabe ngisathukuthela futhi.
43 No ka mea, aole oe i hoomanao i na la o kou opiopio ana, a ua hoonaukiuki mai oe ia'u ma keia mau mea a pau: e uku aku au ea, i kou aoao, maluna o kou poo, wahi a Iehova ka Haku; aole hoi oe e hookui i keia hana haumia maluna o kau mau mea inainaia a pau.
Ngenxa yokuthi insuku zobutsha bakho kawuzikhumbulanga kodwa wangithukuthelisa ngezinto zonke lezi, ngeqiniso lokhu okwenzileyo ngizakwehlisela phezu kwekhanda lakho, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Kanje kawenzanga isigwebo kuzozonke lezizenzo zakho ezinengayo na?
44 Eia hoi, o na mea a pau e olelo ana ma na olelo nane, e lawe lakou i keia olelo nane nau, e i ana, E like me ka makuwahine, pela no kana kaikamahine.
Bonke abatsho izaga bazasitsho isaga lesi ngawe esithi: “Indodakazi ifuna unina.”
45 O ke kaikamahine no oe a kou makuwahine i hoowahawaha i kana kane a me kana mau keiki; o ka hoahanauwahine oe o kou mau hoahanauwahine i hoowahawaha i ka lakou mau kane mo ka lakou mau keiki; o kou makuwahine, o ka Heta no ia: o kou makuakaue, o ka Amora no ia.
Wena uyindodakazi kanyoko sibili, owayeseyisa umkakhe kanye labantwana bakhe; njalo ngeqiniso ungudade wabodadewenu, abeyisa omkabo labantwana babo. Unyoko wayengumHithi uyihlo engumʼAmori.
46 A o kou kaikuaana, o Samaria ia, oia me kana mau kaikamahine e noho ana ma kou lima hema. A o kou kaikaina e noho ana ma kou lima akau, oia o Sodoma a me kana mau kaikamahine.
Udadewenu omdala wayenguSamariya, owayehlala ngasenyakatho kwakho labantwana bakhe; njalo udadewenu omncane owayehlala ngaseningizimu kwakho lamadodakazi akhe nguSodoma.
47 Aole nae oe i hele ma ko lakou mau aoao, aole hoi i hana mamuli o ko lakou mau mea inainaia; aka, me he mea uuku la, ua oi aku kou haumia ana mamua o ko lakou i kou mau aoao a pau.
Kawuhambanga ezindleleni zabo nje kuphela njalo walingisa lezenzo zabo ezinengayo, kodwa kuzozonke izindlela zakho wena waphanga waxhwala kakhulu kulabo.
48 Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole o Sodoma i hana, oia, aole hoi kana mau kaikamahine, e like me oe i hana ai, o oe a me kau mau kaikamahine.
Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, udadewenu uSodoma lamadodakazi akhe kazange akwenze okwenziwa nguwe lamadodakazi akho.
49 Eia hoi ka hewa o kou kaikaina, o Sodoma, o ka haaheo, o ka piha loa i ka berena, a o ka palaualelo nui wale ka iloko ona a me kana mau kaikamahine; aole nae ia i hooikaika i ka lima o ka mea ilihune a me ka nele.
Isono sikadadewenu uSodoma sasiyilesi: Yena lamadodakazi akhe babezigqaja, badla bedlulisa njalo bengakhathali; kababasizanga abayanga labaswelayo.
50 Ua hookiekie lakou, a ua hana i na mea inainaia imua o'u; nolaila lawe ae la au ia lakou mamuli o ko'u ike ana he pono.
Babezazisa njalo besenza izinto eziyangisayo phambi kwami. Ngakho ngabasusa njengoba ubonile.
51 Aole hoi i hana o Samaria i ka hapalua o kou mau hewa; ua hoonui aku oe i kou mau mea inainaia i ko lakou, a ua hoapono oe i kou mau hoahanau wahine, ma kou mau mea inainaia a pau au i hana'i.
USamariya kenzanga ingxenye yezono wena osuzenzile. Wenze izinto ezinengekayo kulabo, wenza odadewenu bangathi balungile ngenxa yezinto zonke lezi ozenzileyo.
52 A o oe hoi ka mea i hooponopono i kou mau hoahanau wahine, e hali oe i kou hoinoia, no kou mau hewa au i hana aku ai i pakela aku i ko lakou; ua oi aku ko lakou pono i kou; oia, e hilahila hoi oe, a e hali oe i kou hoinoia, no kou hoapono ana i kou mau hoahanau wahine.
Lithwale ihlazo lakho, ngoba usunike isizatho esilungileyo ngabodadewenu. Ngoba izono zakho zazizimbi kakhulu kulezabo, bakhanya belunge kakhulu kulawe. Ngakho, woba lenhloni uthwale ihlazo lakho, ngoba wenze odadewenu bakhanya belungile.
53 Aia hoihoi mai au i ko lakou pio ana, i ke pio ana o Sodoma a me kana mau kaikamahine, a me ke pio ana o Samaria a me kana mau kaikamahine, alaila, i ke pio ana o kou poe pio iwaena o lakou;
Kodwa-ke, ngizayibuyisela inhlanhla yeSodoma lamadodakazi ayo kanye leyeSamariya lamadodakazi ayo, lenhlanhla yakho kanye labo,
54 I hali oe i kou hoinoia, a e hilahila hoi oe i na mea a pau au i hanaai, i kou hooluolu ana ia lakou.
ukuze uthwale ihlazo lakho njalo ube lenhloni ngokubaduduza.
55 Aia i hoi kou mau hoahanau wahine o Sodoma a me kana mau kaikamahine, i ko lakou noho kahiko ana, a hoi mai hoi o Samaria a me kana mau kaikamahine i ko lakou noho kahiko ana, alaila e hoi oe me kau mau kaikamahine i ko oukou noho kahiko ana.
Njalo odadewenu, iSodoma lamadodakazi alo kanye leSamariya lamadodakazi alo, bazabuyela kulokho ababeyikho kuqala.
56 No ka mea, aole oleloia o Sodoma kou kaikaina e ko'u waha, i ka la o kou haaheo ana,
Udadewenu, uSodoma wawungeke umutsho ngezinsuku zokuzigqaja kwakho,
57 Mamua o ka hoikeikeia'na o kou hewa, i ka wa i hoinoia'i na kaikamahine a Suria, a me na mea a pau e kokoke mai ana a puni ia, na kaikamahine a Pilisetia na mea i hoowahawaha ia oe ma kela aoao keia aoao.
ububi bakho bungakavezwa. Lanxa kunjalo, khathesi usuhlekwa ngamadodakazi ase-Edomi labo bonke omakhelwane bayo kanye lamadodakazi amaFilistiya, bonke labo abakuhanqileyo abakweyisayo.
58 O kou hewa a me kou mau mea inainaia, oia kau i hali ai, wahi a Iehova.
Uzathwala umvuzo wesagweba sakho kanye lezenzo zakho ezinengayo kutsho uThixo.
59 No ka mea, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E hana aku au ia oe e like me ka hana ana au a ka mea hoowahawaha i ka hoohiki ana, a i uhai hoi i ka berita.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakuphatha njengalokhu okukufaneleyo, ngoba udelele isifungo sami ngokwephula isivumelwano.
60 Aka hoi, e hoomanao aku no au i kuu berita a'u i hana pu ai me oe i na la o kou opiopio ana, a e hoomau aku no au nou i berita mau loa.
Kodwa ngizasikhumbula isivumelwano engasenza lawe ensukwini zobutsha bakho, njalo ngizakwenza isivumelwano esingapheliyo lawe.
61 Alaila e hoomanao oe i kou mau aoao, a e hilahila no hoi i ka wa e loaa ai ia oe kou mau hoahanau wahine, kou kaikuaana a me kou kaikaina; a e haawi aku au ia laua ia oe i mau kaikamahine, aole hoi ma kou berita.
Lapho-ke uzazikhumbula izindlela zakho ube lenhloni lapho ususamukela odadewenu, labo abadala kulawe kanye lalabo abancane. Ngizakunika bona njengamadodakazi, kodwa hatshi ngenxa yesivumelwano sami lawe.
62 A e hoomau au i kuu berita me oe; a e ike no oe, owau no Iehova;
Ngakho ngizamisa isivumelwano sami lawe njalo uzakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.
63 I hoomanao hoi oe, a e hilahila hoi, aole loa e ekemu hou kou waha no kou hilahila, i ka wa e laulea hou ai au ia oe i na mea a pau au i hana mai ai, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Ngakho, lapho sengikwenzela inhlawulelo yakho konke okwenzileyo, uzakhumbula ube lenhloni ungawuvuli futhi umlomo wakho ngenxa yokuthotshiswa kwakho, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
