1 Vuka, ukhanye, ngoba ukukhanya kwakho kufikile, lodumo lweNkosi luphume phezu kwakho.
“Simuka, upenye nokuti chiedza chako chasvika, uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwabuda pamusoro pako.
2 Ngoba khangela, umnyama uzasibekela umhlaba, lomnyama omkhulu izizwe; kodwa iNkosi izaphuma phezu kwakho, lodumo lwayo luzabonakala phezu kwakho.
Tarira, rima rakafukidza nyika uye rima guru riri pamusoro pavanhu, asi Jehovha anobuda pamusoro pako uye kubwinya kwake kunoratidzwa pamusoro pako.
3 Labezizwe bazakuza ekukhanyeni kwakho, lamakhosi ekukhazimuleni kokuphuma kwakho.
Ndudzi dzichauya kuchiedza chako, uye madzimambo kukubwinya kwamambakwedza ako.
4 Phakamisa amehlo akho inhlangothi zonke, ubone; bonke bayabuthana, beze kuwe; amadodana akho azavela khatshana, lamadodakazi akho azakondliwa eceleni.
“Simudza meso ako utarise zvakakukomberedza: vose vanoungana uye vanouya kwauri, vanakomana vako vanobva kure, uye vanasikana vako vanotakurwa pamaoko.
5 Khona uzabona, ugeleze ndawonye, lenhliziyo yakho izakwesaba, yenziwe banzi; ngoba ubunengi bolwandle buzaphendulelwa kuwe, amabutho ezizwe azakuza kuwe.
Ipapo uchatarisa ugopenya, mwoyo wako uchakwata uye uchazara nomufaro; upfumi huri pamusoro pamakungwa huchauyiswa kwauri, pfuma yendudzi ichauya kwauri.
6 Ubunengi bamakamela buzakwembesa, amakamela amatsha eMidiyani leEfa; wonke evela eShebha azakuza; azaletha igolide lempepha, amemezele indumiso zeNkosi.
Mapoka engamera achazadza nyika yako, mhuru dzengamera dzeMidhiani neEfa. Uye vose vanobva kuShebha vachauya, vakatakura goridhe nezvinonhuhwira vachiparidza kurumbidzwa kwaJehovha.
7 Yonke imihlambi yeKedari izabuthelwa kuwe; izinqama zeNebayothi zizakukhonza; zizakuza ngokwemukeleka phezu kwelathi lami, njalo ngizadumisa indlu yodumo lwami.
Mapoka eKedhari achaunganidzirwa kwauri makondobwe eNebhayoti achakushumira: achagamuchirwa sezvipo paaritari yangu, uye ndichashongedza temberi yangu yokukudzwa.
8 Ngobani laba abandiza njengeyezi, lanjengamajuba esiya emawindini awo?
“Ndivanaani ava vanobhururuka samakore, senjiva dzinoenda kumatendere adzo?
9 Qotho izihlenge zizangilindela, lemikhumbi yeThashishi kuqala, ukuletha amadodana akho evela khatshana, isiliva sawo legolide lawo kanye lawo, kulo ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, lakoNgcwele kaIsrayeli, ngoba ukudumisile.
Zvirokwazvo zviwi zvinotarira kwandiri; zvikepe zveTashishi zvinotungamira zvichiuya navanakomana venyu vari kubva kure, nesirivha yavo negoridhe, kuzokudza Jehovha Mwari wako, iye Mutsvene waIsraeri, nokuti akakushongedza nokubwinya.
10 Lamadodana abezizwe azakwakha imiduli yakho, lamakhosi abo akukhonze; ngoba elakeni lwami ngakutshaya, kodwa ngomusa wami ngikuhawukele.
“Vatorwa vachavakazve masvingo ako, uye madzimambo avo achakushandira. Kunyange ndakakurova mukutsamwa kwangu, munyasha dzangu ndichakunzwira tsitsi.
11 Njalo amasango akho azahlala evulekile, emini lebusuku kawayikuvalwa, ukuze bakulethele inotho yabezizwe, lamakhosi azo alethwe.
Masuo ako achagara akashama haachazombozarirwi, masikati kana usiku kuitira kuti vanhu vakuvigire upfumi hwendudzi, madzimambo adzo achafambiswa ari mumudungwe akundwa.
12 Ngoba isizwe lombuso okungayikukukhonza kuzabhubha; yebo, lezozizwe zizaphela nya.
Nokuti rudzi kana ushe husingakushumiri huchaparadzwa; huchaparadzwa zvachose.
13 Udumo lweLebhanoni luzakuza kuwe, isihlahla sefiri, umangwe, lomsayiphuresi kanyekanye, ukucecisa indawo yendlu yami engcwele; njalo ngizakwenza indawo yenyawo zami ikhazimule.
“Kubwinya kweRebhanoni kuchauya kwauri, mipaini nemifiri nemisipuresi pamwe chete, kuzoshongedza nzvimbo yetemberi yangu tsvene; uye ndichabwinyisa nzvimbo yetsoka dzangu.
14 Amadodana lawo awabakucindezelayo azakuza kuwe akhothame; labo bonke abakudelelayo bazakhothamela kungaphansi yezinyawo zakho, bakubize ngokuthi umuzi weNkosi, iZiyoni yoNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
Vanakomana vavamanikidzi venyu vachauya vachikotama pamberi penyu; vose vanokuzvidzai vachapfugama patsoka dzenyu uye vachakutumidzai kuti Guta raJehovha, Zioni roMutsvene waIsraeri.
15 Esikhundleni sokuthi wawutshiyiwe, wazondwa, okokuthi kwakungekho odabula phakathi kwakho, ngizakwenza ube ludumo laphakade, intokozo yezizukulwana ngezizukulwana.
“Kunyange wanga wasiyiwa uye uchivengwa, pasina munhu anopfuura nemauri, ndichakuita kuti ukudzwe nokusingaperi uye uve mufaro wezvizvarwa zvinotevera.
16 Uzamunya futhi uchago lwabezizwe, yebo, umunye amabele amakhosi; njalo uzakwazi ukuthi mina Nkosi nginguMsindisi wakho loMhlengi wakho, oLamandla kaJakobe.
Uchanwa mukaka wendudzi uye ucharerwa pamazamu oumambo. Ipapo uchaziva kuti ini, iyeni Jehovha, ndini Muponesi wako, Mudzikinuri wako, Wamasimba Ose waJakobho.
17 Endaweni yethusi ngizaletha igolide, lendaweni yensimbi ngilethe isiliva, lendaweni yesigodo ithusi, lendaweni yamatshe insimbi. Ngizakwenza futhi ababonisi bakho babe yikuthula, labacindezeli bakho babe yikulunga.
Ndichakuvigira goridhe pachinzvimbo chendarira, nesirivha pachinzvimbo chesimbi. Ndichakuvigira ndarira pachinzvimbo chamatanda, nesimbi pachinzvimbo chamabwe. Ndichaita rugare mubati wako nekururama mutongi wako.
18 Udlakela kalusayikuzwakala elizweni lakho, ukuchitheka lokubhubhisa phakathi kwemingcele yakho; kodwa uzabiza imiduli yakho ngokuthi luSindiso, lamasango akho iNdumiso.
Kuita nechisimba hakuchazonzwikwa munyika yako, kana dongo kana kuparadzwa mukati memiganhu yako, asi uchatumidza masvingo ako zita rokuti Ruponeso nemasuo ako kuti Rumbidzo.
19 Ilanga kalisayikuba yikukhanya kuwe emini, lenyanga kayisayikukukhanyisela kube yikukhazimula; kodwa iNkosi izakuba yikukhanya okulaphakade kuwe, loNkulunkulu wakho abe ludumo lwakho.
Zuva harichazovi chiedza chako masikati, uye kupenya kwomwedzi hakungavi pamusoro pako, nokuti Jehovha ndiye achava chiedza chako chisingaperi, uye Mwari wako achava kubwinya kwako.
20 Ilanga lakho kalisayikutshona, lenyanga yakho kayiyikuhlehlela nyovane; ngoba iNkosi izakuba yikukhanya kwakho okulaphakade, lensuku zokulila kwakho zizaphela.
Zuva rako harichazovirizve, uye mwedzi wako hauchazoperizve; Jehovha achava chiedza chako chisingaperi, uye mazuva okuchema kwako achaguma.
21 Njalo abantu bakho bonke bazakuba ngabalungileyo, badle ilifa lelizwe kuze kube laphakade, ugatsha lokuhlanyela kwami, umsebenzi wezandla zami, ukuze ngidunyiswe.
Ipapo vanhu vako vose vachava vakarurama, uye vachatora nyika kuti ive yavo nokusingaperi. Ndivo mabukira andakadyara, basa ramaoko angu, kuti ndiratidze kubwinya kwangu.
22 Omncinyane uzakuba yinkulungwane, lomncane abe yisizwe esilamandla. Mina Nkosi ngizakuphangisisa ngesikhathi sakhe.
Mudikisa wako achava chiuru, mudiki achava rudzi rune simba. Ndini Jehovha, munguva yacho ndichazviita nokukurumidza.”
