1 Vahe'nimota mani so'e huta maniho, huno tamagri Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
Duduzani, libaduduze abantu bami, kutsho uNkulunkulu wenu.
2 Jerusalemi vahe'mofona fru kefinti nanekea zamasamio, Hapima manita neaza zamo'a amare eme vagare hunka kezatinka zamasamio. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kumi'ma hu'naza zantera knazana ante agofetu huno ranknaza zamigahie. Hianagi menina maka kumi'zmia ko atrezmante'ne.
Khulumani ngomusa kulo iJerusalema, limemezele kulo ukuthi ukusebenza kwalo nzima sekuphelile, ukuthi isono salo sihlawulwe, ukuthi selamukele okuvela esandleni sikaThixo kuphindwe kabili kuzozonke izono zalo.
3 Mago vahe'mofo ageru'mo kezatino amanage nehie, Ra Anumzamo'ma esania kana ka'ma kokampina retro nehuta, hagege kokampina Anumzamo'ma esania rankana varita eripehe hiho. (Matiu 3:3, Maki 1:3, Joni 1:23)
Ilizwi lomemezayo lithi: “Enkangala lungiselani uThixo indlela, lenzele uNkulunkulu wethu umgwaqo oqondileyo enkangala.
4 Ana nehutma maka urami erami hu'nesnia agupofina mopa kateta ante pehe nehutma, ranra agonaramine ne'onse agonaramina kafitma eri agupo nehutma, marerino tamino'ma hu'nesiama'a erinte fatgo hu so'e hiho.
Zonke izigodi zizaphakanyiswa, izintaba zonke lamaqaqa kuzakwehliselwa phansi. Umhlabathi ongamakhilikithi uzakwendlaleka, izindawo ezimadundulu zizakuba yisigcawu.
5 Anama hanageno'a Ra Anumzamofona hankavenentake masa'amo'a eama hanige'za, maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za kevagaregahaze. E'i ama ana nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a agra'a agipinti huama hu'ne. (Luk 3:4-6.)
Inkazimulo kaThixo izabonakaliswa, abantu bonke bazambona kanyekanye, ngoba umlomo kaThixo usukhulumile.”
6 Hagi mago kezankemo'a huno, Ranke hunka kezatio huno higeno, Na'ane huna kezatigahue huno magomo'a higeno, Maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahera trazankna hu'nazankino, tanopafi me'nea trazaramimo amosre aheteno rutri huramiaza huno, ra zamagima eneriza zamo'a fanene hugahie.
Ilizwi lithi, “Memeza!” Mina ngathi, “Ngimemeze ngisithini na?” “Abantu bonke banjengotshani njalo ubuhle babo bunjengamaluba eganga.
7 Trazamo'a hagege nehigeno, amosre'amo'a mopafi evuneramie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agra'a zahora huhu hutregeno eno eme zamazeri tore hige'za mopafi evuneramize. Tamagerfa hu'za maka vahe'mo'za trazankna hu'naze.
Utshani buyabuna amaluba ayakhithika, ngoba umoya kaThixo uyakuphephetha. Ngempela abantu babutshani.
8 Hanki trazamo'a hagege nehanigeno, trazamofo amosre'amo'a mopafi evuramigahie. Hianagi tagri Anumzamofo nanekemo'a, vaga oreno mevava hugahie. (1 Pita 1:24-25.)
Utshani buyabuna, amaluba ayakhithika, kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu limi kuze kube nininini.”
9 Saioni rankumapinti'ma knare musenkema huama'ma nehana vahe'moka, agonarega marerinka kagerura erisga hunka hankavetinka ana musenkea huama huo. Jerusalemi rankumapima mani'neta musenkema huama'ma nehaza vahe'mota, korora osutma kezatitma, Juda mopafima me'nea rankumatmimpima nemaniza vahera tamagri Anumzana ama'nagi keho hutma zamasamiho!
Wena oletha izindaba ezinhle eZiyoni, khwela entabeni ende. Wena oletha izindaba ezinhle eJerusalema, phakamisa ilizwi lakho ngokumemeza; liphakamise, ungesabi, tshono emadolobheni akoJuda uthi: “Nangu uNkulunkulu wenu!”
10 Keho, Hihamu hankave'ane Ra Anumzamo'a egahiankino Agra'a hankave'areti vahera eme kegava hugahie. Ana hugahiankino mizama zamisia zana azampi eri'neno egahie.
Khangelani, uThixo Wobukhosi uza elamandla, isandla sakhe sizabusa. Khangelani, umvuzo wakhe ulawo, lenhlawulo yakhe uhamba elayo.
11 Sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo nehiaza huno, agra vahe'a kegava hu so'e nehuno, Sipisipi afute kva vahe'mo sipisipi afu anenta'a asagufinka avrenteaza huno, agra vahe'a asagufinka zamavarenenteno, anenta'ma ante'naza sipisipi afutamina akoheno zamavareno vugahie.
Welusa umhlambi wakhe njengomelusi: ubuthelela amawundlu ezingalweni zakhe awathwale eseduzane lenhliziyo yakhe; awakhokhele kuhle lawo alamazinyane.
12 Hanki mago vahe'mo'a maka hagerina afino azampina erinteno refko'a huno kege, azamofo atumpa'aretira anteno mona refkoa huno kegahifi? I'za maka mopa kateno mago ekaeka kupina erinte vaga nereno, agonaramimofo kna'a erintenora refko huno negeno, ne'onse agonaramimofo kna'anena erinteno refko huno kegahie?
Ngubani olinganise amanzi entendeni yesandla sakhe, loba walinganisa amazulu ngobubanzi besandla sakhe na? Ngubani owaphatha uthuli lomhlabathi ngesitsha loba walinganisa izintaba ezilinganisweni lamaqaqa esikalini na?
13 Iza Ra Anumzamofo antahi'zana keno antahino nehuno, e'ina hunka maka zana trora huo hunora antahi'zana ami'ne?
Ngubani osewazwisisa imicabango kaThixo, kumbe wamfundisa njengomeluleki wakhe na?
14 Ra Anumzamo'a izampinti ama' antahi'zana enerino, antahintahi'zanena e'nerie? Antahi'zane fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'ava zanena, iza rempia hunemie?
Ngubani owake wacelwa nguThixo ukuba ameluleke, njalo ngubani owamfundisa indlela elungileyo na? Ngubani lowo owamfundisa ukwazi, loba owamtshengisa indlela yokuqedisisa na?
15 Tamagerfa huno ama mopafi vahe'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma zamageana, kavofinti timo osi'a pake huramiaza nehazageno, nanaza erinte'za kna'a negaza sigerire kugusopa meaza nehaze. Ana nehigeno hageri amu'nompima me'nea moparamina erinteno refko huno keana amne zankna hu'za osi kugusopagna hu'naze.
Ngeqiniso izizwe zinjengethonsi emgqonyeni; zibalwa njengothuli ezilinganisweni; uThixo ulinganisa izihlenge angathi ziluthuli olucolekileyo.
16 Lebanoni mopafima ana maka mani'naza bulimakao afutminteti'ene, Lebanonima me'nea zafaramina ana maka antagita Ra Anumzamofontega tevefi kre fanane hu ofa huntegahaze. Hianagi anazamo'a Ra Anumzamo'ma antahi'nea kantera ovugahie.
ILebhanoni kalaneli imililo ye-alithare, lezinyamazana zalo kazaneli iminikelo yokutshiswa.
17 Agri avurera mika ama mopafi vahe'mo'za amane zaga mani'naze. Agrama zamageana amane zagama zamageaza huno nezmage.
Phambi kwakhe zonke izizwe zinjengeze; yena uzikhangela njengento engasi yalutho njalo zingaphansi kweze.
18 Ina vahete huntenka Anumzanena mago avame hu'ne hunka hugahane? Inazamofo amema'amo agriknara hu'ne hunka hugahane?
Pho ngubani elingamfanisa loNkulunkulu na? Yisifanekiso bani elingasilinganisa laye na?
19 Mago'zamofo amema'a zafareti antreza tro hute'za golireti eri anovazinte'za silvareti seni nofira tro hu'za avasase'a hunte'naza havi anumzankna, Ra Anumzamo'a hu'nefi?
Isithombe sibunjwa yingcwethi, umkhandi wegolide asinameke ngegolide asenzele imigaxo yesiliva.
20 Hagi amunte omane vahe'mo'a havi anumzamofo amema'ama miza segama osia vahe'mo'a hankave zafa erino ana zama tro'ma nehaza eri'za vahe amigeno, ana havi anumzamofo amema'a zafare antreno tro hutegeno erinte fatgo huno antegeno me'neno avugosaregatira mopafina evunoramie.
Umuntu ongumyanga onganelisiyo ukunikela ngomnikelo onjalo ukhetha isigodo esingaboliyo. Udinga ingcitshi elolwazi ukuba imise isithombe esingayikubhidlika.
21 Kagra ontahi'nampi? Kagrira onkasmi'nafi? Ra Anumzamo'ma mopamofo agafa'ama erigafa huno tro'ma hu'neazana kora kasamigenka ontahi'nampi?
Kalazi yini? Kalizwanga na? Kalikutshelwanga kwasekuqaleni na? Kalizwisisanga na selokhu umhlaba wadalwayo?
22 Ra Anumzamo'a kini tra'are monafi manisga huno mani'nege'za, ama mopafi vahe'mo'za kenu taminkna hu'naze. Anamifima me'nea monaramina, selinoma hiaza huno eri atarentegeno enevigeno, vahe'ma mani seli noma eri atareno kintegeno meaza huno noma'a kintene.
UThixo uhlezi ebukhosini ngaphezu kwendingiliza yomhlaba, njalo abantu bakhe banjengezintethe. Welula amazulu njengekhetheni, awendlale njengethente lokuhlala kulo.
23 Ama mopafi kva vahetmina, Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri fenkami atrege'za amane zankna nehaze.
Udiliza amakhosana, enze ababusi bomhlaba lo babe yize.
24 Mago vahe'mo mensintfa avimza avina vati krigeno rafu'namo zahufa mopafi uorami'negeno, Ra Anumzamo'a amuho nentake zaho atregeno ame huno eno ana avimza eri hagege higeno, kagikagi zaho'mo witi hona'ama eri harafi huno freaza nehaze.
Banele ukugxunyekwa nje, banele ukuhlanyelwa nje, banele ukugxila impande emhlabathini abe ephephetha phezu kwabo, babune, isavunguzane sibakhukhulele khatshana njengamakhoba.
25 Ruotge'ma hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie, Ina vahete hunteta nagrikna vahe mani'ne huta hugahaze?
“Ngubani elizangilinganisa laye na? Loba ngubani olingana lami na?” kutsho yena oNgcwele.
26 Kavua kesga hunka monafima me'nea hanafitmina iza trora hu'nefi ko? Ra Anumzamo agrake tro huzmanteteno, nama'a hanafitami me'neana, ana maka keno antahino nehuno, mago magomofona agi'a amitere hu'ne. Agrira tusi'a hankave'a me'negu huno kegava higeno, mago'mo'e huno fananea nosie.
Phakamisani amehlo enu likhangele phezulu: Ngubani owadala konke lokhu na? Yena okhupha amaxuku ezinkanyezi ngalinye ngalinye, awabize ngalinye ngamabizo awo. Ngenxa yamandla akhe amakhulu lokuqina okulamandla, akukho lalinye elingekho.
27 Hagi na'a higeta tamagra Israeli vahera Jekopu naga'mota amanage hutma ke hakarea nehaze, Ra Anumzamo'a knazantia nonkeno fatgo avu'avara hunorante hutma nehaze.
Kungani usithi, we Jakhobe, usole usithi, we Israyeli, “Indlela yami ifihlakele Thixo; ilungelo lami kalinanzwa nguNkulunkulu wami na?”
28 Tamagra ontahi'nazafi? Tamagrira ontamasami'nazafi? Ra Anumzamo'a fanane osuno manivava Anumza mani'ne. Ama mopafima maka zama me'nea zantamina, agrake tro hu'ne. Magore huno agrira kasrora ahege, avesra hugera osugahie. E'ina hu'neankino mago vahe'mo'a agri antahi'zana hakenora eri forera osugahie.
Kalazi yini? Kalizwanga na? UThixo unguNkulunkulu waphakade, uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba. Kayikudinwa kumbe akhathale, ukuqedisisa kwakhe kakho ongakulinganisa.
29 Hankavezmima omne'nea vahera Ra Anumzamo'a hankavea nezamino, hankavezamima omanegezama kasrokasarama nehaza vahera mago'ene hihamua sotu huno nezamie.
Abakhatheleyo uyabanika amandla, andise amandla ababuthakathaka.
30 Kasefa mofavreramimo'za zamavesra kosara hugahaze. Hankave kasefa vahe'mofonena hankavezmia omanesige'za traka hugahaze.
Labatsha baphelelwa ngamandla bakhathale, lamajaha ayakhubeka awe,
31 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma, amuha nehu'za zamentintima nehaza vahe'mo'za, kasefa hankave eneri'za tumpamo hiaza hu'za haresga hu'za vano nehu'za, zamagama resnazana zmasafekura nosu'za, kama vanazana zamavesra osugahie.
kodwa labo abathemba uThixo bazavuselelwa amandla abo. Bazaqonga ngempiko njengezinkozi, bazagijima kodwa bangadinwa, bazahamba kodwa bangapheli amandla.
