Ukushisekela kukaNkulunkulu nomusa wakhe
1Isiprofetho ngeNineve, incwadi yombono kaNahume wase-Elikoshi.
2 UJehova unguNkulunkulu
oshisekelayo nophindiselayo;
uJehova uyaphindisela,
ugcwele ukufutheka;
uJehova uphindisela kwabamelene naye,
ugcinela izitha zakhe intukuthelo.
3 UJehova wephuza ukuthukuthela,
mkhulu ngamandla,
akenzi onecala abe msulwa;
uJehova unendlela yakhe esivunguvungwini nasesiphephweni,
namafu ayibhuqu lezinyawo zakhe.
4 Uyakhuza ulwandle, alomise,
ashise nemifula yonke;
iBashani liyawuma kanye neKarmeli,
nezimbali zaseLebanoni ziyabuna.
5 Izintaba ziyathuthumela phambi kwakhe,
amagquma ayancibilika;
umhlaba uyaphakama ebusweni bakhe,
yebo, nakho konke okuhlala kuwo.
6Ngubani ongema ebusweni bentukuthelo yakhe na?
Ngubani ongema ekufuthekeni kolaka lwakhe na?
Ukufutheka kwakhe kuthululiwe njengomlilo,
namadwala ayaqhekezeka phambi kwakhe.
7 UJehova muhle, uyinqaba ngosuku lwenhlupheko,
uyabazi abaphephela kuye.
8 Kepha ngesikhukhula esiphuphumayo
uyakuqeda indawo yakhona,
axoshele izitha zakhe ebumnyameni.
9Enikucebayo ngoJehova uyakuqeda yena;
ukuhlupheka akuyikuvela ngokwesibili.
10Lapho bethandela njengameva,
benjengabaminzileyo ophuzweni lwabo,
bayakuqedwa nokuqedwa njengamabibi omileyo.
11Kuphume kuwe owamcebela uJehova okubi,
wanika isiluleko esibi.
12 Usho kanje uJehova, uthi:
“Noma benamandla, futhi bebaningi,
nokho bayakuqedwa, banyamalale;
noma ngikuhluphile,
angisayikukuhlupha.
13Sengiyakulaphula ijoka eliphezu kwakho,
ngigqabule izibopho zakho.”
14Kepha uJehova uyalezile ngawe
ukuthi akusayikuhlwanyelwa okwegama lakho;
endlini yawonkulunkulu bakho ngiyakunquma
izithombe ezibaziweyo nezibunjiweyo;
ngiyakulungisa ithuna lakho,
ngokuba awuyinto yalutho.
15 Bheka ezintabeni izinyawo zoletha izindaba ezinhle,
omemezela ukuthula.
Gubha imikhosi yakho, Juda,
ugcwalise izithembiso zakho,
ngokuba omubi akasayikudabula kuwe;
unqunyiwe ngokupheleleyo.
Okuqokiwe okwamanje:
