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