2 Magore huno ama mopafi vahe'mo'a Anumzamofona aza osugahie. Ana nehanigeno, knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a agra'a aza hugahianagi, Anumzamofona aza osugahie.

Umuntu angaba losizo kuNkulunkulu yini, ngoba ohlakaniphileyo elusizo kuye ngokwakhe?

3 Kagrama fatgo kavukva'ma hanana zamo'a Hankavenentake Anumzamofo avurera amne zankna nehanigeno, knare kavukva'ma hnana zamo'a, Anumzamofona aza osugahie.

8 Kagrama kagesa antahi'nana, hankave vahe'mo'zage'za mopa eri nafa'a nehazage'za, mopama eriga vahe'mo'zage enerize hunka kagesa nentahine.

Kodwa umuntu olengalo, umhlaba ungowakhe, lowemukeleka ebusweni wahlala kuwo.

9 Kento a'nanemo'zama zamazama hananegu'ma kagrite'ma ne-azana zamatranke'za amne nevazagenka, megusa mofavre nagazmia zamazeri haviza nehane.

10 E'ina hu'negu menina hazenke zamo'a kukomo hiaza huno, maka asoparega kazeri kagigenka mani'nankeno antri hanaza huno koro'zamo'a kagrite ne-e.

12 Hianagi menina Jopuga antahio, Anumzana rankrerfa hu'nea Anumzankino amunagamuma me'nea hanafitamina zamagatereno amenagame monafi nemanie.

UNkulunkulu kakho yini engqongeni yamazulu? Bona-ke ingqonga yezinkanyezi, ukuthi ziphakeme kangakanani.

13 Hianagi kagra amanage hunka nehane, nagrama nehua navu'nava zana inankna huno Anumzamo'a keno antahino nehie? Agra haninentake hampompi mani'neankino inankna huno tage amara huno nerageno, refkora huno tagegahie?

Kanti uthi: UNkulunkulu wazini? Angahlulela yini engemuva komnyama onzima?

14 Tapa hampomo Anumzamofo avurera anteso higeno norage. Ana nehigeno agra monamofona agatereno onaga'a vano nehuno norage.

Amayezi amnyama ayisisibekelo sakhe ukuze angaboni, uhamba esigombolozini samazulu.

15 Hanki Jopuga antahio, ko'ma kumi vahe'mo'zama hu'naza zamavu'zmava nehunka zamage ante'za nehampi?

16 Nozamima azeri oti'zama ki'naza tra'ma timo hageno erino viankna huno ana kumi'ma nehaza vahera tavava ozafa ore'ne'za kasefa vahe mani'neza frigahaze.

Abahluthunwa kungakabi yisikhathi; uzamcolo wathululwa phezu kwesisekelo sabo.

17 Anage nehu'za Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a na'a hurantegahie. Tatarenka vuo hu'za nehaze.

Abathi kuNkulunkulu: Suka kithi. LoSomandla wayenzeni kubo?

18 Anage nehazanagi e'i ana Anumzamoke nozamifina knare'nare fenozana eri antevi tezmante'ne. E'ina hu'negu kefo zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za antahintahia nagra ovaririgahue.

19 Kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'ma Anumzamo'ma zamazeri havizama hige'zama, fatgo avu'ava'zama nehaza vahe'mo'za nezamage'za muse nehaze. Ana nehanage'za ke'zami omne vahe'mo'zama nezamage'za zamagiza regahaze.

Abalungileyo bayakubona bathokoze, lomsulwa ubahleka usulu.

20 Ana nehu'za, anage hugahaze, ha' vahetimofona tamagerfa hu'za zamazeri haviza nehazageno, tevemo fenozamia tefanane hie hu'za hugahaze.

21 Hagi Jopuga menina Anumzamofonte kagraka'a anteraminka nemaninka, kasunku hunka Agrane kea eri fatgo nehunka krimpa fru hunka manio. E'inama hanankeno'a, nomani zanka'afina maka zamo'a knare hugahie.

Ake wejwayelane laye, ube lokuthula, ngalokho okuhle kuzakuza kuwe.

22 Amama kavumaro'ma antekema kasamuana antahiso'e nehunka, kagu'afi erintegeno meno.

Ake wemukele umlayo ovela emlonyeni wakhe, ubeke amazwi akhe enhliziyweni yakho.

23 Hanki kagrama ete rukrahe hunka Hankavenentake Anumzamofonte'ma esnankeno'a, maka knazanka'a eri netreno ete nomani'zanka'a eri so'e hugantegahie. E'ina hu'negu menina nomanizankafima kefo kavukva zama me'neniana eri atro.

Uba ubuyela kuSomandla, uzakwakhiwa, ususe okubi khatshana lamathente akho.

24 Ana nehunka goligu'ma kavesikavesi'ma nehana zana netrenka, knare zantfama hu'nea golima Ofiri mopafinti'ma eri'nana golia atregeno havemoke'ma hu'nea tinkagomupi vino.

25 Ana nehunka atregeno Hankavenentake Anumzamo goli ka'agnara huno nemanino, knare zantfama hu'nea silvagnara huno manino.

26 Anama hanigenka kagra Hankavenentake Anumzamofona tusi muse hunentenka, kesga hunka Anumzamofona antahimigahane.

Ngoba ngalesosikhathi uzazithokozisa ngoSomandla, uphakamisele ubuso bakho kuNkulunkulu.

27 Kagra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hanankeno, nunamunka'a antahi kamigahie. Ana nehanigenka kagrama huvempama hu'nana keka'a amage antegahane.

29 Hanki mago'a vahe'mo'zama knafima mani'nesnagenka kagrama hunka, zamaza huo hunkama hanankeno'a, Anumzamo'a zamagu'vazigahie.
