IHubo 45:1-17
Kumqondisi weMinduze. Elamadodana kaKhora. Imaskili. Ingoma ephathelene nabesifazane abathandekayo.
45 Inhliziyo yami ibé nogqozi ngendaba enhle.+Ngithi: “Imisebenzi yami iphathelene nenkosi.”+Kwangathi ulimi lwami lungaba uluthi lokuloba+ lomkopishi onekhono.+
2 Impela wena umuhle kunamadodana abantu.+Ukuthandeka kuthululelwé ezindebeni zakho.+Yingakho uNkulunkulu ekubusisile kuze kube nini nanini.+
3 O wena onamandla, Bhinca inkemba yakho+ ethangeni lakho,+Ngesithunzi sakho nangobukhazikhazi bakho.+
4 Ebukhazikhazini bakho qhubekela empumelelweni;+Gibela ngenjongo yeqiniso nokuthobeka nokulunga,+Isandla sakho sokunene siyokufundisa ngezinto ezesabekayo.+
5 Imicibisholo yakho ibukhali—ngaphansi kwakho amaqembu ezizwe ayaqhubeka ewa+—Enhliziyweni yezitha zenkosi.+
6 UNkulunkulu uyisihlalo sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini nanini, yebo kuze kube phakade;+Intonga yobukhosi bakho iyintonga yobuqotho.+
7 Ukuthandile ukulunga+ futhi uyabuzonda ububi.+Yingakho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho,+ ekugcobé+ ngamafutha okwethaba+ ukudlula abangane bakho.+
8 Zonke izingubo zakho ziyimure nenhlaba nekhasiya;+Esigodlweni esihle sezinyo lendlovu+ izinsimbi zomculo ezinezintambo zikujabulisile.
9 Amadodakazi+ amakhosi aphakathi kwabesifazane bakho abayigugu.Indlovukazi+ imé ngasesandleni sakho sokunene ihlobé ngegolide lase-Ofiri.+
10 O ndodakazi, lalela, ubone, uthambekisele indlebe;Ukhohlwe abantu bakini nendlu kayihlo.+
11 Inkosi iyolangazelela ubuhle bakho,+Ngoba iyinkosi yakho,+Ngakho yikhothamele.+
12 Indodakazi yaseThire iphethe nesipho+—Abacebile kubantu bayothambisa ubuso bakho.+
13 Indodakazi yenkosi iyakhazimula ngaphakathi endlini;+Izembatho zayo zifakelwe igolide.
14 Iyolethwa enkosini igqoké isembatho eselukiwe.+Izintombi ezisodwendweni lwayo ezingabangane bayo zilethwa kuwe.+
15 Ziyolethwa ngokuthokoza nangokujabula;Ziyongena esigodlweni senkosi.
16 Esikhundleni sokhokho bakho+ kuyoba khona amadodana akho,+Oyowamisa njengezikhulu emhlabeni wonke.+
17 Ngiyokhuluma ngegama lakho kuzo zonke izizukulwane ezizayo.+Yingakho izizwe ziyokudumisa kuze kube nini nanini, yebo kuze kube phakade.
