IHubo 89:1-52
Imaskili. Elika-Ethani umEzra.+
89 Ngizohlabelela kuze kube nini nanini ngezenzo zikaJehova zomusa wothando.+Isizukulwane ngesizukulwane ngizokwazisa ngokuthembeka kwakho ngomlomo wami.+
2 Ngoba ngithé: “Umusa wothando uyohlala wakhiwe kuze kube nini nanini;+Ngokuqondene namazulu, ugcina ukuthembeka kwakho kumiswe kwaqina kuwo.”+
3 “Ngenzé isivumelwano kokhethiweyo wami;+Ngifungile kuDavide inceku yami,+
4 ‘Inzalo yakho ngiyoyimisa iqine kuze kube nini nanini,+Futhi ngiyokwakha isihlalo sakho sobukhosi esizukulwaneni ngesizukulwane.’”+ Sela.
5 O Jehova, amazulu ayodumisa isenzo sakho esimangalisayo,+Yebo, ukuthembeka kwakho ebandleni labangcwele.
6 Ngoba ubani esibhakabhakeni ongaqhathaniswa noJehova?+Ubani ongafana noJehova phakathi kwamadodana kaNkulunkulu?+
7 UNkulunkulu kumelwe abhekwe ngokuthuthumela phakathi kweqembu elisondelene labangcwele;+Mkhulu futhi uyesabeka phezu kwabo bonke abamzungezile.+
8 O Jehova Nkulunkulu wamabutho,+Ubani oyingqabavu njengawe Jah?+Ukuthembeka kwakho kukuzungezile.+
9 Uyabusa phezu kokukhukhumala kolwandle;+Lapho luphakamisa amagagasi alo wena uyawazolisa.+
10 Wena umchobozile uRahabi,+ yebo njengomuntu obuleweyo.+Ngengalo yezikhwepha zakho uzihlakazile izitha zakho.+
11 Izulu lingelakho,+ nomhlaba ungowakho;+Izwe elikhiqizayo nokuligcwalisile+—wena ngokwakho ukusekelile.+
12 Inyakatho neningizimu—nguwe owakudala;+IThabori+ neHermoni+—kuyakhamuluka ngenjabulo egameni lakho.+
13 Ingalo enamandla ngeyakho,+Isandla sakho sinamandla,+Isandla sakho sokunene siphakeme.+
14 Ukulunga nokwahlulela kuyindawo emisiwe yesihlalo sakho sobukhosi;+Umusa wothando neqiniso kuza phambi kobuso bakho.+
15 Bayajabula abantu abakwaziyo ukumemeza kwenjabulo.+O Jehova, bayaqhubeka behamba ekukhanyeni kobuso bakho.+
16 Usuku lonke bayajabula ngegama lakho+Futhi bayaphakanyiswa ngokulunga kwakho.+
17 Ngoba wena ungubuhle bezikhwepha zabo;+Ngokuthakazelelwa nguwe uphondo lwethu luyaphakanyiswa.+
18 Ngoba isihlangu sethu singesikaJehova,+Inkosi yethu ingeyoNgcwele ka-Israyeli.+
19 Ngaleso sikhathi wakhuluma ngombono kwabaqotho bakho,+Wathi:“Ngibeké usizo phezu konamandla;+Ngiphakamisé okhethiwe phakathi kwabantu.+
20 Ngitholé uDavide inceku yami;+Ngimgcobé ngamafutha ami angcwele,+
21 Osandla sami siyoqina kuye,+Nongalo yami nayo iyomqinisa.+
22 Akukho sitha esiyobiza utho kuye,+Nandodana yokungalungi eyomhlupha.+
23 Phambi kwakhe ngibachobozile abaphikisana naye baba yizicucwana,+Nalabo abamzonda kakhulu bengilokhu ngibashaya.+
24 Ukuthembeka kwami nomusa wami wothando kukanye naye,+Uphondo lwakhe luphakanyisiwe egameni lami.+
25 Ngibekile isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle+Nesandla sakhe sokunene phezu kwemifula.+
26 Yena ungibiza athi, ‘Wena unguBaba,+UNkulunkulu wami+ neDwala lensindiso yami.’+
27 Futhi, mina ngiyombeka abe yizibulo,+Ophakeme kunawo wonke amakhosi omhlaba.+
28 Ngiyomlondolozela umusa wami wothando kuze kube nini nanini,+Nesivumelwano sami siyoba esithembekile kuye.+
29 Ngokuqinisekile ngiyoyimisa phakade inzalo yakhe+Nesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi njengezinsuku zezulu.+
30 Uma amadodana akhe ewushiya umthetho wami+Futhi engahambi ngezinqumo zami zokwahlulela,+
31 Uma engcolisa izimiso zamiFuthi engayigcini imiyalo yami,
32 Nami ngiyosinaka iseqo sawo ngenduku+Nesiphambeko sawo ngemivimbo.+
33 Kodwa ngeke ngiwunqamule umusa wami wothando kuye,+Noma ngilahle ukwethembeka kwami.+
34 Ngeke ngisingcolise isivumelwano sami,+Namazwi aphuma ezindebeni zami ngeke ngiwashintshe.+
35 Ngifungé kanye ebungcweleni bami,+Ngeke ngiwaqambe amanga kuDavide.+
36 Inzalo yakhe iyohlala kuze kube nini nanini,+Nesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi siyohlala njengelanga phambi kwami.+
37 Siyomiswa siqine njengenyanga kuze kube nini nanini,Nanjengofakazi othembekile esibhakabhakeni.” Sela.
38 Kodwa wena—wena ulahlile futhi uyaqhubeka weya;+Umthukuthelele ogcotshiweyo wakho.+
39 Usichithile isivumelwano senceku yakho;Ungcolisé umqhele wayo emhlabathini uqobo.+
40 Uzibhidlizile zonke izibaya zayo zamatshe;+Uzenzé zaba yizincithakalo izinqaba zayo.+
41 Bonke abadlula ngendlela bayiphangile;+Ibé yisihlamba komakhelwane bayo.+
42 Uphakamisé isandla sokunene sabaphikisana nayo;+Ubangelé zonke izitha zayo ukuba zijabule.+
43 Ngaphezu kwalokho, uphinda ubheke inkemba yayo njengesitha,+Futhi uyibangelé ukuba ingakwazi ukuma empini.+
44 Wenzé ukuba ukuchachamba kwayo kuphele,+Isihlalo sayo sobukhosi usijikijele phansi emhlabathini.+
45 Ufinyezé izinsuku zobusha bayo;Uyisongé ngamahloni.+ Sela.
46 O Jehova, kuyoze kube nini ulokhu uzifihlile? Kuyoze kube phakade?+Ingabe ulaka lwakho luzolokhu luvutha njengomlilo?+
47 Khumbula ukuthi bungakanani ubude bokuphila kwami.+Ingabe wonke amadodana abantu uwadalele ize?+
48 Iyiphi indoda enamandla ephilayo engeke ikubone ukufa?+Ingabe ingawenzela umphefumulo wayo indlela yokuphunyuka esandleni seShiyoli?+ Sela.
49 O Jehova, ziphi izenzo zakho zangaphambili zomusa wothando,Owazifungela kuDavide ngokuthembeka kwakho?+
50 O Jehova, khumbula, isihlamba esiphezu kwezinceku zakho,+Ukuthwala kwami esifubeni sami isihlamba sazo zonke izizwe eziningi,+
51 O Jehova, indlela izitha zakho ezihlambalaze ngayo,+Indlela ezizihlambalaze ngayo izinyathelo zonyawo logcotshiweyo wakho.+
52 Makatuswe uJehova kuze kube nini nanini. Amen, Amen.+
