2 Ndichashamisa muromo wangu nditaure nomufananidzo, ndichataura zvinhu zvakavanzika, zvinhu zvakare kare,
Ngizavula umlomo wami ngemifanekiso, ngizakutsho izinto ezifihlekileyo, izinto zekadeni,
3 zvatakanzwa nezvatakaziva, zvatakaudzwa namadzibaba edu.
esakuzwayo lesikwaziyo esakutshelwa ngokhokho bethu.
4 Hatingazozvivanziri vana vavo; tichaudza rudzi runotevera mabasa angarumbidzwa aJehovha, simba rake, nezvishamiso zvaakaita.
Kasizukuzifihlela abantwana babo; sizasitshela isizukulwane esizayo ngemisebenzi emangalisayo kaThixo, amandla akhe, lemimangaliso aseyenzile.
5 Akatema zvirevo zvaJakobho akasimbisa murayiro muIsraeri, waakarayira madzitateguru edu kuti vadzidzise vana vavo,
Wamisela uJakhobe imithetho wabeka umlayo ko-Israyeli, walaya okhokho bethu ukuthi bawufundise abantwababo,
6 kuti rudzi runotevera ruzvizive, kunyange vana vachazoberekwa, naivo vagozoudzawo vana vavo.
ukuze aziwe yisizukulwane esilandelayo, kanye labantwana abazazalwa, kuthi labo batshele abantwababo.
7 Ipapo vachavimba naMwari wavo uye havangazokanganwi mabasa ake asi vachazochengeta mirayiro yake.
Yikho-ke bazabeka ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu njalo abasoze bakhohlwa izenzo zakhe kodwa bagcine imilayo yakhe.
8 Havazofanani namadzitateguru avo, rudzi rwakanga rwakasindimara uye rwaimumukira, mwoyo yavo yakanga isingateereri Mwari, mweya yavo yakanga isina kutendeka kwaari.
Kabayikuba njengabokhokho babo ababeyisizukulwana esilobuqholo lesihlamukayo, onhliziyo zabo zazingazinikelanga kuNkulunkulu omoya yabo yayingathembekanga kuye.
9 Vanhu vokwaEfuremu, kunyange vakanga vakapakata uta, vakadzokera shure pazuva rokurwa;
Amadoda ako-Efrayimi, loba ayehlomile ngemitshoko, afulathela mhla welanga lempi;
10 havana kuchengeta sungano yaMwari, uye vakaramba kufamba maererano nomurayiro wake.
kabasigcinanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bala ukuphila ngomthetho wakhe.
11 Vakakanganwa zvaakaita, zvishamiso zvaakavaratidza.
Bakhohlwa lokho ayekwenzile, izimanga ayebatshengise zona.
12 Akaita zviratidzo pamberi pamadzibaba avo munyika yeIjipiti, mudunhu reZoani.
Wenza imimangaliso oyise bekhangele elizweni laseGibhithe, esigodini saseZowani.
13 Akapamura gungwa akavayambutsa napakati; akaita kuti mvura imire yakasimba sorusvingo.
Walwahlukanisa ulwandle wabahola bachapha; wenza amanzi ema aqina saka njengomduli.
14 Akavatungamirira negore masikati, uye nechiedza chomoto usiku hwose.
Wabahola ngeyezi emini njalo ngokukhanya komlilo ubusuku bonke.
15 Akapamura ruware mugwenga akavapa mvura yakawanda seyamakungwa;
Wawaqhekeza amadwala enkangala wabapha amanzi amanengi njengolwandle;
16 akabudisa hova dzemvura paruware akaita kuti iyerere seyenzizi.
wantshazisa impophoma emadwaleni amawa wenza amanzi ageleza njengemifula.
17 Asi vakaramba vachingomutadzira, vachimukira Wokumusoro-soro mugwenga.
Kodwa baqhubeka besona phambi kwakhe, bamhlamukela enkangala yena oPhezukonke.
18 Vakaedza Mwari nobwoni vachimugombedzera kuti avape zvokudya zvavaipanga.
Bamlinga uNkulunkulu ngabomo ngokucela ukudla ababekutshisekela.
19 Vakapopotera Mwari, vachiti, “Ko, Mwari angawadzira tafura mugwenga here?
Bamchothoza uNkulunkulu besithi, “Kambe uNkulunkulu angendlala itafula lokudlela enkangala na?
20 Paakarova dombo, mvura yakatubuka, uye hova dzakayerera mvura zhinji. Asi angagona kutipawo zvokudya here? Angavigira vanhu vake nyama here?”
Wathi lapho etshaya idwala, amanzi antshantshaza, kwageleza amanzi amanengi. Kodwa angasipha njalo lokudla na? Angabalethela inyama abantu bakhe na?”
21 Jehovha akati avanzwa, akatsamwa zvikuru kwazvo; moto wake ukaveserwa Jakobho, uye hasha dzake dzikamukira Israeri,
UThixo wathi ebezwa wathukuthela kakhulu; umlilo wakhe wavuthela kuJakhobe, ulaka lwakhe lwaqina ku-Israyeli,
22 nokuti havana kutenda muna Mwari kana kuvimba nokurwira kwake.
ngoba kabamkholwanga uNkulunkulu njalo kabawathembanga amandla okuhlenga kwakhe.
23 Asi akarayira matenga kumusoro akazarura makonhi okumatenga;
Loba kunjalo walaya umkhathi ngaphezulu wavula iminyango yamazulu;
24 akanayisa mana kuti vanhu vadye, akavapa zviyo zvokudenga.
wanisa imana ukuthi badle abantu, wabapha amabele asezulwini.
25 Vanhu vakadya chingwa chavatumwa; akavatumira zvokudya zvose zvavaigona kudya.
Abantu badla isinkwa sezingilosi; wabathumela konke ukudla ababengakudla.
26 Akazarura mhepo yokumabvazuva kubva kudenga, uye akafambisa mhepo yakabva zasi nesimba rake.
Wawukhulula umoya wempumalanga uvela emazulwini, wawukhulula umoya weningizimu ngamandla akhe.
27 Akavanayisira nyama pamusoro pavo seguruva, shiri dzinobhururuka dzakaita sejecha rokumhenderekedzo yegungwa.
Wanisela inyama kubo njengothuli, izinyoni eziphaphayo zaba njengetshebetshebe ogwini lolwandle.
28 Akaita kuti dziburukire mumisasa yavo, dzakapoteredza matende avo ose.
Wazenza zehlela phakathi kwezihonqo zabo, indawana yonke emathenteni abo.
29 Vakadya kusvikira vaguta kwazvo, nokuti akanga avapa zvavakanga vachipanga.
Bazitika baze bakhangela, ngoba wayebaphe ababekade bekukhalela.
30 Asi vasati vafuratira chokudya chavaikarira, kunyange pachakanga chichiri pamiromo yavo,
Kodwa bengakakutshiyi lokho kudla ababekukhalela belokhu besakunambitha emilonyeni yabo,
31 kutsamwa kwaMwari kwakavamukira; akauraya vakanga vakanyanya kusimba pakati pavo, akaparadza majaya eIsraeri.
ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwavutha kubo; wabulala zona iziqwabalanda zabo, wawahemula amajaha ako-Israyeli.
32 Kunyange zvakadaro, vakaramba vachingotadza; kunyange zvazvo zviratidzo zvake izvi zvaivapo, havana kutenda.
Phezu kwakho konke lokhu baqhubeka besona; phezu kwezimanga zakhe, kabazange bakholwe.
33 Saka akagumisa mazuva avo nezvisina maturo, uye makore avo mukutya.
Ngakho wenza insuku zabo zaphelela ezeni njalo leminyaka yabo yagcwala ukwesaba.
34 Pose pavaiurayiwa naMwari, ndipo pavaimutsvaka; vaishingairira kudzokerazve kwaari.
Kwakusithi uNkulunkulu angababulala, bamdinge; baphendukele kuye njalo ngokutshiseka.
35 Vakarangarira kuti Mwari ndiye Dombo ravo, kuti Mwari Wokumusoro-soro ndiye Mudzikinuri wavo.
Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayelidwala labo, ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wayenguMhlengi wabo.
36 Asizve vaingomubata kumeso nemiromo yavo, vachimurevera nhema nendimi dzavo;
Kodwa-ke kwakuyikumyenga ngemilomo yabo, beqamba amanga kuye ngendimi zabo;
37 mwoyo yavo yakanga isina kutendeka kwaari, vakanga vasina kutendeka pasungano yake.
inhliziyo zabo zazingabambelelanga kuye, babengathembekanga esivumelwaneni sakhe.
38 Kunyange zvakadaro iye akavanzwira tsitsi; akavakanganwira kuipa kwavo akasavaparadza. Nguva nenguva akadzora kutsamwa kwake, uye haana kumutsa hasha dzake dzose.
Kodwa wayelesihawu; wazithethelela izono zabo kaze ababhubhisa. Isikhathi ngesikhathi waluthoba ulaka lwakhe akaze akuqubula konke ukuthukuthela kwakhe.
39 Akarangarira kuti ivo vaingova nyama bedzi, mhepo inopfuura isingadzoki.
Wakhumbula ukuthi babeyinyama nje intshongolo eyedlulayo nje ingabe isabuya.
40 Vakamumukira mugwenga kazhinji sei, uye vakamuitisa shungu murenje!
Kodwa ukuthi bamhlamukela kanengi njani enkangala, bamdabukisa egwaduleni!
41 Vakaedza Mwari vamuedzazve; vakagumbusa Iye Mutsvene waIsraeri.
Baphindaphinda ukulinga uNkulunkulu; bamthukuthelisa oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
42 Havana kurangarira simba rake, zuva raakavadzikinura kubva pamudzvinyiriri,
Kabawakhumbulanga amandla akhe usuku abakhulula ngalo kumncindezeli,
43 zuva raakaratidza zviratidzo zvake zvinoshamisa muIjipiti, zvishamiso zvake mudunhu reZoani.
usuku lapho aveza khona izibonakaliso zakhe ezimangalisayo eGibhithe, izimanga zakhe esigodini saseZowani.
44 Akashandura nzizi dzavo dzikava ropa; havana kugona kunwa muhova dzavo.
Waguqula imifula yabo yaba ligazi; behluleka ukunatha ezifuleni zabo.
45 Akavatumira mapupira enhunzi dzikavaparadza, uye matatya akavaparadza zvikuru.
Wathumela imihlambi yezibawu zabantinya, lamaxoxo ababhuqayo.
46 Akapa zviyo zvavo kumagutaguta nezvibereko zvavo kumhashu.
Amabele abo wawathela izintethe, izithelo zabo isikhongwane.
47 Akaparadza mazambiringa avo nechimvuramabwe, uye namaonde emionde yavo nechando.
Wathintitha amavini abo ngesiqhotho lemikhiwa yabo yesikhamore wayitshazisa ngongqwaqwane.
48 Mombe dzavo akadziisa kuchimvuramabwe, nezvipfuwo zvavo kukurova kwemheni.
Inkomo zabo wazithela ngesiqhotho, izifuyo zabo zadliwa yizikhatha zombane.
49 Akaregedzera kutsamwa kwake kukuru pamusoro pavo, hasha dzake, shungu dzake noukasha hwake, boka ravatumwa vokuparadza.
Wabathululela ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo, intukuthelo yakhe, ukucunuka lenzondo ixuku lezingilosi ezibhubhisayo.
50 Akagadzira nzira yokutsamwa kwake; haana kuponesa mweya yavo parufu asi akavaisa kudenda.
Wayilungisa indlela yolaka lwakhe; kabaphephisanga ekufeni kodwa wabanikela emikhuhlaneni.
51 Akauraya matangwe ose eIjipiti, chibereko chokutanga chomurume pamatende aHamu.
Wawabulala wonke amazibulo aseGibhithe, izithelo zabo zokuqala zokuba ngamadoda emathenteni kaHamu.
52 Asi akabudisa vanhu vake seboka ramakwai; akavatungamirira samakwai nomugwenga.
Kodwa wabakhupha abantu bakhe njengomhlambi wezimvu; wabahola njengezimvu bedabula inkangala.
53 Akavafambisa norugare, asi gungwa rakamedza vavengi vavo.
Wabakhokhela ngonanzelelo, ngakho babengesabi; kodwa ulwandle lwazigubuzela izitha zabo.
54 Saizvozvo akavasvitsa kumuganhu wenyika yake tsvene, kunyika yamakomo yaakatora noruoko rwake rworudyi.
Kanjalo wabaletha emngceleni welizwe lakhe elingcwele, elizweni lamaqaqa ayelithethe ngesandla sakhe sokunene.
55 Akadzinga ndudzi mberi kwavo, akagovera nyika yavo kwavari senhaka; akagarisa rudzi rwaIsraeri mudzimba dzavo.
Wazixotsha izizwe phambi kwabo wabahlukanisela ilizwe lazo laba yilifa; wahlalisa izizwana zako-Israyeli emizini yazo.
56 Asi vakaedza Mwari uye vakamukira Wokumusoro-soro; vakasachengeta zvirevo zvake.
Kodwa bamlinga uNkulunkulu, bamhlamukela oPhezukonke; kabayigcinanga imilayo yakhe.
57 Vakanga vasingazvirereki uye vasina kutendeka samadzibaba avo, vasingavimbiki souta hunonyengera.
Njengabokhokho babo babengathembekanga bengakholwa, ungeke wathemba njengedandili elenziwe kubi.
58 Vakamutsamwisa nenzvimbo dzavo dzakakwirira; vakamutsa godo rake nokuda kwezvifananidzo zvavo.
Bamvusa ulaka ngezindawo zabo eziphezulu; baqubula ubukhwele bakhe ngezithombe zabo.
59 Mwari akati avanzwa akatsamwa zvikuru kwazvo; akaramba Israeri zvachose.
Wathi uNkulunkulu ngokukuzwa lokho, wathukuthela kakhulu; wamlahla qobo lokumlahla u-Israyeli.
60 Akasiya tabhenakeri yeShiro, iyo tende yaakanga amisa pakati pavanhu.
Walidela ithabanikeli lakhe eShilo, ithente ayelakhile phakathi kwabantu.
61 Akaendesa areka yesimba rake kuutapwa, kubwinya kwake mumaoko omuvengi.
Umphongolo wakhe wamandla wawusa ekuthunjweni, inkazimulo yakhe ezandleni zesitha.
62 Akaisa vanhu vake kumunondo; akatsamwira nhaka yake zvikuru kwazvo.
Abantu bakhe wabanikela ukudliwa yinkemba; wayethukuthele kakhulu ngelifa lakhe.
63 Moto wakaparadza majaya avo, uye varandakadzi vavo vakashayiwa nziyo dzesvitsa;
Umlilo waziqeda izinsizwa zabo, izintombi zabo zaswela izingoma zomtshado;
64 vaprista vavo vakanga vaiswa kumunondo, uye chirikadzi dzavo hadzina kugona kuchema.
abaphristi babo babulawa ngenkemba, abafelokazi babo behluleka ukulila.
65 Ipapo Ishe akamuka somunhu anga akakotsira, somunhu amuka pakubatwa newaini.
INkosi yasivuka njengokade esebuthongweni, njengomuntu ephaphama ekudakweni yiwayini.
66 Akarova vavengi vake vakadzokera shure; akavanyadzisa nokusingaperi.
Wazitshaya zahlehla izitha zakhe; waziyangisa okungapheliyo.
67 Ipapo akaramba matende aJosefa, haana kusarudza rudzi rwaEfuremu;
Khonapho-ke wawakhalala amathente kaJosefa, akaze asikhetha isizwana sika-Efrayimi;
68 asi akasarudza rudzi rwaJudha, Gomo reZioni, raakada.
kodwa wakhetha isizwana sikaJuda, iNtaba iZiyoni ayeyithanda.
69 Akavaka nzvimbo yake tsvene senhare yakakwirira, senyika yaakasimbisa nokusingaperi.
Wakha indlu yakhe engcwele njengeziqongo, njengomhlaba awumisela ingunaphakade.
70 Akasarudza Dhavhidhi muranda wake, akamutora kumatanga amakwai;
Wakhetha uDavida inceku yakhe wamthatha ezilugwini zezimvu;
71 akamubvisa pakufudza makwai kuti ave mufudzi wavanhu vake Jakobho, vaIsraeri nhaka yake.
wamsusa ekweluseni izimvu wamletha ukuba ngumelusi wabantu bakhe uJakhobe, baka-Israyeli ilifa lakhe.
72 Uye Dhavhidhi akavafudza nokururama kwomwoyo; akavatungamirira namaoko ouchenjeri.
Njalo uDavida wabelusa ngobuqotho benhliziyo; wabakhokhela ngesandla sobungcitshi.
