3 UNkulunkulu wavela eThemani, loNgcwele entabeni yeParani. (Sela) Inkazimulo yakhe yasibekela amazulu, lomhlaba wagcwala indumiso yakhe.
Mwari akabva kuTemani, iye Mutsvene akabva kuGomo reParani. Sera Umambo hwake hwakazadza matenga uye mbiri yake yakazadza nyika.
4 Lokucwazimula kwakunjengokukhanya, wayelemisebe ephuma esandleni sakhe; njalo lapho kwakulokufihlwa kwamandla akhe.
Kubwinya kwake kwakaita sokubuda kwezuva; bwerazuva hwakapenya huchibva muruoko rwake, makanga makavigwa simba rake.
5 Phambi kwakhe kwahamba umatshayabhuqe wesifo, lelangabi laphuma ezinyaweni zakhe.
Hosha yakaenda ichibva pamberi pake; denda rakatevera nhambwe dzake.
6 Wema, walinganisa umhlaba; wabona, wathuthumelisa izizwe; lentaba zaphakade zahlakazeka, amaqaqa amandulo akhothama; izindlela zaphakade zingezakhe.
Akamira, akazungunusa nyika; akatarisa, akabvundisa ndudzi dzavanhu. Makomo akare kare akakoromoka uye zvikomo zvakare zvakawira pasi. Nzira dzake dzinogara nokusingaperi.
7 Ngabona amathente eKushani phansi kwenhlupheko; amakhetheni elizwe leMidiyani athuthumela.
Ndakaona matende eKushani ari panhamo, nzvimbo dzokugara dzeMidhiani dziri pakutambudzika.
8 INkosi yathukuthelela imifula yini? Ulaka lwakho lwalumelene lemifula yini? Intukuthelo yakho yayimelene lolwandle yini, lokhu ugade amabhiza akho, izinqola zakho zosindiso?
Ko, makanga matsamwira nzizi here, nhai Jehovha? Makanga matsamwira zvikova here, nhai Jehovha? Makatsamwira gungwa here pamakafambisa mabhiza enyu nengoro dzenyu dzokukunda?
9 Idandili lakho lembuliwe lavela obala, njengokwezifungo zezizwe, ngitsho ilizwi lakho. (Sela) Waqhekeza umhlaba ngemifula.
Makabudisa pachena uta hwenyu, mukadaidzira miseve mizhinji. Sera Makatsemura nyika nenzizi;
10 Intaba zakubona, zathuthumela; isikhukhula samanzi sedlula; ukujula kwakhupha ilizwi lakho, kwaphakamisela izandla zakho phezulu.
makomo akakuonai akadedera. Mvura zhinji yakapfuura; kwakadzika kwakatinhira kukasimudza mafungu pamusoro.
11 Ilanga lenyanga kwema endaweni yakho yokuhlala; ekukhanyeni imitshoko yakho yahamba, ngokukhazimula kokuphazima komkhonto wakho.
Zuva nomwedzi zvakambomira kumatenga zvichiona kuvaima kwemiseve yenyu yaipfuura, zvichiona kupenya kwepfumo renyu rinobwinya.
12 Ngokuthukuthela wanyathela ilizwe, ngolaka wabhula izizwe.
Mukutsamwa kwenyu makapfuura napanyika uye mukushatirwa kwenyu makarasa ndudzi.
13 Waphumela usindiso lwabantu bakho, usindiso logcotshiweyo wakho; ulimaza ikhanda endlini yokhohlakeleyo, ngokwembula isisekelo kuze kube sentanyeni. (Sela)
Makauya kuzonunura vanhu venyu, kuzoponesa muzodziwa wenyu. Makaparadza mutungamiri wenyika yavakaipa, mukamufukura kubva kumusoro kusvika kutsoka. Sera
14 Wahlaba ngemikhonto yakhe inhloko yamadoda akhe empi; baba njengesivunguzane ukungihlakaza; ukuthokoza kwabo kwakunjengokudla abayanga ngasese.
Nepfumo rake chairo makabaya musoro wake, pakauya varwi vake sechamupupuri kuzotiparadzira, vachifara savanoda kuparadza vanotambudzika vakanga vakavanda.
15 Wanyathela phakathi kolwandle ngamabhiza akho, inqumbi yamanzi amanengi.
Makatsika-tsika gungwa namabhiza enyu, mukabvongodza mvura zhinji.
16 Lapho ngisizwa, isisu sami sathuthumela; indebe zami zaqhaqhazela ngelizwi; ukubola kwangena emathanjeni ami, ngathuthumela endaweni yami, ukuze ngiphumule ngosuku lohlupho; lapho esenyuka emelene labantu uzabahlasela.
Ndakazvinzwa, hana yangu ikarova, miromo yangu yakadedera pandakanzwa maungira; kuora kwakapinda mumapfupa angu, makumbo angu akadedera. Asi ndichamirira hangu zuva renjodzi kuti riuye pamusoro porudzi ruchatirwisa.
17 Loba umkhiwa ungakhahleli, kungekho lesivuno sesivini, umsebenzi womhlwathi uzaphutha, lamasimu angavezi ukudla, izimvu zizaqunywa zisuke esibayeni, kungabi khona inkomo ezibayeni;
Kunyange dai muonde ukasatunga maruva, uye mizambiringa ikashayiwa zvibereko, kunyange kubereka kwomuorivhi kukakona, uye minda ikasabereka zvokudya, kunyange dai kukasava namakwai muchirugu uye mombe dzikashayikwa mumatanga,
18 kanti mina ngizathokoza eNkosini, ngijabule kuNkulunkulu wosindiso lwami.
kunyange zvakadaro, ndichafara muna Jehovha, ndichava nomufaro muna Mwari Muponesi wangu.
19 UJehova iNkosi ungamandla ami; njalo uzakwenza inyawo zami zibe njengezezimpala, angenze ukuthi nginyathele ezindaweni zami eziphakemeyo. Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela ngamachacho ami.
Ishe Jehovha ndiye simba rangu; anoita kuti tsoka dzangu dziite setsoka dzenondo, anondifambisa pamatunhu akakwirira. Kumutungamiri wokuimba, nemitengeranwa yangu.
