2 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova kulo ilizwe lakoIsrayeli: Isiphetho, isiphetho sesifikile phezu kwamagumbi womane elizwe.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha kunyika yeIsraeri: Kuguma! Kuguma kwasvika kumativi mana enyika.

Kuguma kwava pamusoro pako zvino uye ndichatuma kutsamwa kwangu pamusoro pako. Ndichakutonga zvakafanira tsika dzako ndigotsiva zvinyangadzo zvako zvose.
4 Lelihlo lami kaliyikukuhawukela, kangiyikuyekela, kodwa ngizakwehlisela izindlela zakho phezu kwakho, lamanyala akho azakuba phakathi kwakho. Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Handizokunzwiri ngoni kana kukuponesa; zvirokwazvo ndichakutsiva zvakafanira tsika dzako nezvinyangadzo zviri pakati pako. Ipapo uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
5 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ububi, ububi obubodwa, khangela, sebufikile.
“Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Njodzi! Njodzi isina kumbonzwikwa nezvayo iri kuuya!
6 Isiphetho sesifikile, isiphetho sesifikile, siyakuvukela; khangela, sesifikile.
Kuguma kwasvika! Kuguma kwasvika! Kwamuka kuti kuzokurwisai. Kwauya!
7 Ukusa sekufikile kuwe, wena mhlali welizwe; isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lwenkathazo luseduze, njalo kungeyisikho ukumemeza ngenjabulo kwezintaba.
Kuparadzwa kwauya pamusoro pako, iwe ugere panyika. Nguva yasvika, zuva rava pedyo; pava nokutya, kwete mufaro, pamusoro pamakomo.
8 Khathesi, kuseduze ukuthi ngithululele ulaka lwami phezu kwakho, ngiphelelise intukuthelo yami phakathi kwakho, ngikwahlulele njengokwezindlela zakho, ngehlisele phezu kwakho wonke amanyala akho.
Ndava pedyo nokudurura hasha dzangu pamusoro pako ndigopedzera kutsamwa kwangu pamusoro pako; ndichakutonga zvakafanira mafambiro ako ndigotsiva zvinyangadzo zvako zvose.
9 Lelihlo lami kaliyikuhawukela, njalo kangiyikuyekela; ngizanika njengokwezindlela zakho phezu kwakho, lamanyala akho azakuba phakathi kwakho. Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi etshayayo.
Handizombokunzwiri ngoni kana kukuponesa; ndichakutsiva zvakafanira mafambiro ako nezvinyangadzo zviri pakati pako. Ipapo uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha ndiri kukurova.
10 Khangela usuku, khangela, selufikile; ukusa sekuphumile; intonga ihlumile, ukuziqhenya kukhahlele.
“Zuva rasvika! Rauya! Kuparadzwa kwabuda, shamhu yabukira, kuzvikudza kwatumbuka!
11 Udlakela lusukume lwaba yintonga yobubi; kakuyikusala kubo, hatshi-ke exukwini labo, hatshi-ke okwabo, njalo kakuyikuba khona ukuqhinqa isililo phakathi kwabo.
Kuita nechisimba kwakura kukava shamhu yokuranga zvakaipa; hakuna mumwe wavanhu ava achasara, hakuna pavazhinji vavo ivavo, kana pfuma kana chinokosha.
12 Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku selusondele; umthengi kangathokozi, lomthengisi angalili, ngoba ulaka luphezu kwexuku lonke lalo.
Nguva yauya, zuva rasvika. Mutengi ngaarege kufara uye mutengesi ngaarege kusuwa, nokuti hasha dziri pamusoro pavazhinji vose.
13 Ngoba umthengisi kayikubuyela kokuthengisiweyo, lanxa impilo yabo isesephakathi kwabaphilayo; ngoba umbono mayelana lexuku lonke lalo kawuyikuphenduka; futhi kakulamuntu ongaqinisa impilo yakhe ngesiphambeko sakhe.
Mutengesi haangadzorerwi nyika yaakanga atengesa kana vose vari vaviri vachiri vapenyu, nokuti chiratidzo chakaonekwa pamusoro pavazhinji vose chichazozadziswa. Nokuda kwezvivi zvavo, hakuna kana mumwe wavo achachengetedza upenyu hwake.
14 Baluvuthele uphondo ukuthi balungise konke, kodwa kakho oya empini, ngoba ulaka lwami luphezu kwexuku lalo lonke.
Kunyange vakaridza hwamanda uye vakagadzirira zvose, hapana achaenda kuhondo, nokuti hasha dzangu dziri pamusoro pavazhinji vose.
15 Inkemba ingaphandle, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo lendlala kungaphakathi; osegangeni uzakufa ngenkemba, losemzini indlala lomatshayabhuqe wesifo kuzamqeda.
“Kunze kuno munondo, mukati mune denda nenzara; vaya vari musango vachafa nomunondo, uye vari muguta vachapedzwa nenzara nedenda.
16 Kodwa abaphunyukayo babo bazaphunyuka, babe sezintabeni njengamajuba ezihotsha, bonke belila, ngulowo lalowo ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe.
Vose vanorarama vachapunyuka vachange vari mumakomo, vachirira senjiva dzomumipata, mumwe nomumwe nokuda kwezvivi zvake.
17 Zonke izandla zizaphela amandla, lamadolo wonke ageleze njengamanzi.
Ruoko rumwe norumwe ruchapera simba uye ibvi rimwe nerimwe richarukutika semvura.
18 Njalo bazabhinca amasaka, lovalo luzabembesa, lenhloni zibe sebusweni bonke, lempabanga phezu kwamakhanda abo wonke.
Vachafuka nguo dzamasaga uye vachafukidzwa nokutya. Zviso zvavo zvichafukidzwa nenyadzi uye misoro yavo ichaveurwa.
19 Bazalahla isiliva sabo ezitaladeni, legolide labo libe yikungcola; isiliva sabo legolide labo kakuyikuba lakho ukubophula ngosuku lokuthukuthela kweNkosi; kabayikonelisa umphefumulo wabo, bangagcwalisi amathumbu abo; ngoba kuyisikhubekiso sesiphambeko sabo.
Vachakanda sirivha yavo munzira dzomumisha, uye goridhe yavo ichava chinhu chisina kuchena. Sirivha yavo negoridhe ravo hazvingavaponesi pazuva rokutsamwa kwaJehovha. Hazvingapedzi nzara yavo kana kugutsa matumbu avo nazvo, nokuti ndizvo zvakavagumbusa vakapinda muchivi.
20 Lobuhle besiceciso sakhe wabumisa ebukhosini, kodwa benza kubo imifanekiso yokunengekayo kwabo lezinengiso zabo; ngenxa yalokho ngibumise bube yinto engcolileyo kubo.
Vakanga vachizvikudza nokuda kwoukomba hwavo hwakanaka uye vachihushandisa kuita zvifananidzo zvinonyangadza nezviumbwa zvakaipisisa. Naizvozvo ndichashandura izvi, zvikava chinhu chine tsvina kwavari.
21 Njalo ngizakunikela esandleni sabezizwe kube yimpango, lakwabakhohlakeleyo bomhlaba kube yimpango, njalo bazakungcolisa.
Ndichazvipa zvose kuvatorwa sezvinhu zvakapambwa uye sepfuma ingapambwa navakaipa venyika, uye vachazvisvibisa.
22 Njalo ngizaphendula ubuso bami busuke kubo, bangcolise indawo yami yensitha; ngoba abaphangi bazangena kuyo, bayingcolise.
Ndichavafuratira uye vachasvibisa nzvimbo yangu inokosha; mbavha dzichapinda mairi dzigoisvibisa.
23 Yenza iketane, ngoba ilizwe ligcwele amacala egazi, lomuzi ugcwele udlakela.
“Gadzirai ngetani, nokuti nyika izere nokuteura ropa uye guta rizere nokuita nechisimba.
24 Ngakho ngizaletha ababi bezizwe, abazakudla ilifa lezindlu zabo; ngikwenze kuphele ukuziqhenya kwabalamandla; lendawo zabo ezingcwele zizangcoliswa.
Ndichauyisa vanhu vakaipisisa vendudzi kuti vavatorere dzimba dzavo; ndichaita kuti kuzvikudza kwavane simba kugume, uye nzvimbo dzavo tsvene dzichasvibiswa.
25 Ukwethuka kuyeza; bazadinga-ke ukuthula, kodwa kakuyikuba khona.
Kana kutya kwauya, vachatsvaka rugare asi havangaruwani.
26 Incithakalo izakuza phezu kwencithakalo, lombiko ube phezu kombiko; khona bezadinga umbono kumprofethi, kodwa umlayo uzabhubha kumpristi, leseluleko kubadala.
Kuchauya njodzi pamusoro penjodzi uye guhu pamusoro peguhu. Vachaedza kutsvaka chiratidzo kumuprofita; kudzidziswa murayiro nomuprista kuchashayikwa, namazano anobva kuvakuruwo achashayikwa.
27 Inkosi izalila, lesiphathamandla sembathiswe incithakalo, lezandla zabantu belizwe zizathuthumela. Ngizakwenza kubo ngokwendlela yabo, ngibahlulele ngezahlulelo zabo; khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Mambo achachema, muchinda achafukidzwa nokuora mwoyo, uye maoko avanhu vomunyika achadedera. Ndichavaitira zvakafanira mafambiro avo, uye ndichavatonga nemitemo yavo. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.”
