IHubo 2:1-12
2 Kungani izizwe zixokozelaLabantu benyenyezelana into engelamsebenzi?*+
2 Amakhosi omhlaba aselungele ukulwa,Iziphathamandla ziyabuthana* zingqondonye,+Zifuna ukulwa loJehova logcotshiweyo wakhe.*+
3 Bathi: “Asiqamuleni amaketane abasibophe ngawo,Silahlele khatshana intambo zabo!”
4 Lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi ezulwini uzahleka,UJehova uzabahleka ubuthutha.
5 Uzabethusa ngolaka lwakhe oluvuthayoAkhulume labo ezondile,
6 Athi: “Inkosi engiyikhethileyo isiqalisile ukubusa.+
Isibusa eZiyoni,+ intaba yami engcwele.”
7 Ngizamemezela lokho uJehova akukhulumileyo,Uthe kimi: “Wena uyindodana yami,+Lamuhla sengibe nguyihlo.+
8 Cela kimi, ngizakupha izizwe zibe lilifa lakho,Lomhlaba wonke ube ngowakho.+
9 Uzabachoboza ngentonga yensimbi,+Ubaphahlaze angathi uphahlaza imbiza yomdaka.”+
10 Ngakho-ke hlakaniphani lina makhosi,Livume ukuqondiswa* lina bahluleli bomhlaba.
11 Khonzani uJehova ngokwesaba,Lithokoze lithuthumela.
12 Hloniphani* indodana+ ukuze uNkulunkulu angalithukutheleliBeselitshabalala,*+Ngoba ulaka lwakhe luyaphangisa ukuvutha.
Bayathokoza bonke abaphephela kuye.
