Sijeziso saNkulunkulu kulabamhlubukako
1 Simakadze utsi:
“Ngatembula kulabo lababengazange bangicele,
ngatfolwa ngulabo lababengazange sebangifune.
Esiveni lesingazange silibite Libito lami,
ngatsi: ‘Ngilapha, ngilapha.’
2 Lonkhe lilanga ngelule tandla tami
kubantfu labanenhloko lelukhuni,
labahamba etindleleni letimbi,
bacoshana nemicabango yabo,
3bantfu labachubeka nekungicunula njalo nje
embikwami ngibuka,
banikele ngemihlatjelo etivandzini,
batfuncise nemphepho emalatini etitini,
4labahlala emkhatsini wemadliza,
bacitse busuku babo emilindzelweni leyimfihlo,
badle inyama yetingulube,
nemabhodo abo aphatse bubendze
benyama lengcolile ngekwemtsetfo,
5 bese batsi: ‘Suka, ungasondzeli kimi,
ngobe ngingcwele kakhulu kunawe!’
Bantfu labanjalo bayintfutfu emakhaleni ami,
umlilo lohlala uvutsa lilanga lonkhe.
6 “Buka la, kuhlala kubhaliwe embikwami, kutsi:
Ngingeke ngibindze,
kodvwa ngitakukhokhela ngalokugcwele,
ngitakukhokhela ematsangeni abo,
7 yebo, tono tabo netono taboyise,” kusho Simakadze.
“Njengobe bashisa imihlatjelo etintsabeni,
bangihlambalata emagcumeni,
ngiyawukala umvuzo wabo
ngiwehlisele ematsangeni abo ngalokuphelele,
ngenca yetono tabo takadzeni.”
8Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze, utsi:
“Njengobe kutfolakala luju lwemagelebisi
esikhehleni semagelebisi, bantfu batsi:
‘Ungasibulali, kusekhona lokuhle kuso,’
ngitakwenta kanjalo nami ngenca yetinceku tami;
ngingeke ngitibhubhise tonkhe.
9 Ngiyawuveta titukulwane kuJakobe,
nakuJuda labo labayawuba tindlalifa tetintsaba tami;
sive sami lesikhetsiwe siyawutidla,
tinceku tami tiyawuhlala lapho.
10 ISharoni iyawuba lidlelo lemihlambi yetimvu netimbuti,
kutsi Sigodzi sase-Akhori sibe yindzawo yekuphumula
imihlambi yetinkhomo,
yebantfu bami labangifunako.
11“Kodvwa nine lenilahla Simakadze,
nikhohlwe intsaba yami lengcwele,
nine lenendlala litafula
nendlalele sithico lesinguNhlanhla,
nigcwalise tindziwo ngeliwayini lelididiyelwe,
nitigcwalisele sithico lesinguSimiselo,
12 ngiyawunimisela inkemba,
nonkhe niyawukhotsamela kuhlatjwa,
ngobe nganibita,
kodvwa anizange nisabele,
ngakhuluma,
kodvwa anizange nilalele.
Nenta lokubi emehlweni ami,
nakhetsa loko lokungangijabulisi.”
13 Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo yiNkhosi Simakadze, itsi:
“Tinceku tami tiyawudla,
kodvwa nine niyawulamba;
tinceku tami tiyawunatsa,
kodvwa nine niyawukoma;
tinceku tami tiyawujabula,
kodvwa nine niyawuhlazeka, nijabhe.
14Tinceku tami tiyawuhlabela
ngenca yekujabula lokuphuma etinhlitiyweni tato;
kodvwa nine niyawukhala
ngenca yekudzabuka kwetinhlitiyo,
nilile ngenca yekudzabuka kwemoya.
15 Libito lenu niyawulishiya
kulabakhetsiwe bami libe sicalekiso:
iNkhosi Simakadze iyawunibulala.
Kodvwa tinceku tayo iyawutinika lelinye libito.
16 Lowo loncenga sibusiso eveni
uyawutibusisa ngaNkulunkulu lowetsembekile;
lowo lowenta sifungo eveni
uyawufunga ngaNkulunkulu lowetsembekile.
Ngobe tinhlupheko letendlulile tiyawukhohlakala,
tifihlakale emehlweni ami.”
Indalo lensha
17 “Buka la, ngiyawudala
emazulu lamasha nemhlaba lomusha.
Tintfo takadzeni tingeke tikhunjulwe,
futsi tingeke tisabuya nasengcondvweni.
18 Kodvwa jabulani nitfokote phakadze naphakadze
ngaloko lengiyawukudala,
ngobe iJerusalema ngiyawuyidala ibe yintfokoto,
nebantfu bayo babe yinjabulo.
19 Ngiyawutfokota ngeJerusalema,
ngijabule ngebantfu bami,
umsindvo wekulila newekukhala
awuyiwuphindza uvakale kuyo.
20 “Kungeke kuphindze kube nemntfwana kuyo
loyawuphila emalangana lambalwa,
nome kube nelichegu lelingeke likhule lize likhokhobe.
Umuntfu loyakufa aneminyaka lelikhulu ngebudzala
uyawutsatfwa ngekutsi abesemusha,
lowo longayiwufika eminyakeni lelikhulu budzala
uyawutsatfwa ngekutsi ucalekisiwe.
21 Bantfu bayakwakha tindlu, bahlale kuto,
bayawuhlanyela tivini, badle titselo tato.
22 Bangeke baphindze bakhe tindlu,
bese kuhlala labanye bantfu kuto,
nome bahlanyele, bese kudla labanye.
Ngobe njengemalanga esihlahla
ayawuba njalo-ke nemalanga ebantfu bami.
Labakhetsiwe bami bayawutijabulisa sikhatsi lesidze
ngemisebenti yetandla tabo.
23 Bangeke bashikanekele lite
nome batale bantfwana labayawudliwa sehlakalo;
ngobe bayawuba sive lesibusiswe nguSimakadze,
bona kanye netitukulwane tabo.
24 Bayawutsi bangakangibiti, ngisabele,
bayawutsi basakhuluma, ngive.
25 Imphisi nelizinyane lemvu
kuyawudla edlelweni linye,
nelibhubesi liyawudla tjani njengenkhomo,
kodvwa lutfuli luyawuba kudla kwenyoka.
Kute lokuyawulimata nalokuyawuba yingoti
kuyo yonkhe intsaba yami lengcwele,” kusho Simakadze.
