1:1 Amazwi eNtshumayeli, unyana kaDavide, ukumkani waseYerusalem.
1:2 Amampunge awo amampunge, itsho iNtshumayeli; amampunge awo amampunge, yonke into ingamampunge.
1:3 Unalungelo lini umntu emigudwini yakhe yonke, ayenzayo phantsi kwelanga?
1:4 Kumka esinye isizukulwana, kulandele esinye isizukulwana; ke lona ihlabathi limi ngonaphakade.
1:5 Ilanga liyaphuma, ilanga libuya litshone, liphikele endaweni yalo apho liphuma khona.
1:6 Umoya uya ezantsi, ujikeleze usinge entla, uhamba ujikajikeleza, ubuye ubuya umoya ekujikelezeni kwawo.
1:7 Yonke imilambo iya elwandle, ukanti ulwandle aluzali; endaweni eya kuyo imilambo, ibuya iye kwakhona.
1:8 Zonke izinto ziyazixhamla; umntu akanako ukuzithetha; alihluthi iliso kukubona, ayizali indlebe kukuva.
1:9 Into eyayikho yeya kubuya ibekho; into eyenzekayo yeya kubuya yenzeke yona. Akukho nto intsha phantsi kwelanga.
1:10 Ukuba kukho into ekuthiwa, Yabona, le intsha! ibiselikho kade, emaphakadeni abekho ngaphambi kwethu.
1:11 Akukho kukhumbula abokuqala; nabasemva abaya kubakho, abayi kukhunjulwa ngabaya kuza emva kwabo.
1:12 Mna, Ntshumayeli, ndibe ndingukumkani kwaSirayeli eYerusalem.
1:13 Intliziyo yam ndayinikela ukuba ingxoke, isingasinge ngobulumko, yonke into eyenzekayo phantsi kwezulu; ngumzamo ombi uThixo awunike oonyana babantu, ukuba bawuzame.
1:14 Ndazikhangela zonke izenzo ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga; yabona, zonke zingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
1:15 Into egoso ayinakolulwa; into engekhoyo ayinakubalwa.
1:16 Ndathetha mna nentliziyo yam, ndisithi, Yabona, mna ndikhulise ndandisa ubulumko, ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababephethe iYerusalem phambi kwam; nentliziyo yam ibone kakhulu ubulumko nokwazi.
1:17 Intliziyo yam ndayinikela ekwazini ubulumko, nasekwazini ubugeza nobuyatha; kwanaloo nto ndayiqonda ukuba kukusukelana nomoya.
1:18 Ngokuba ebuninzini bobulumko kukho ukuhlelwa sisiyengelezane esininzi; owongeza ukwazi, wongeza umvandedwa.
2:1 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Khawuze khe ndikulinge ngovuyo, ubone okulungileyo. Yabona, kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:2 Ndathi kohlekayo, Uyageza; nakovuyayo, Wenza ntoni na lo?
2:3 Ndasingasinga entliziyweni yam ukuba nditsale inyama yam ngewayini, ekubeni intliziyo yam iziqhuba ngobulumko: ukuba ndazane nobuyatha, ndide ndibone ukuba yiyiphi na into ebalungeleyo oonyana babantu, ukuze bayenze phantsi kwezulu, ngemihla embalwa yobomi babo.
2:4 Ndazenzela imisebenzi emikhulu, ndazakhela izindlu: ndazityalela izidiliya,
2:5 ndazenzela amasimi nemiyezo, ndatyala kuyo imithi eneziqhamo zonke;
2:6 ndazenzela amachibi amanzi okunyela ihlathi elihluma imithi;
2:7 ndathenga amakhoboka namakhobokazana, ndaba nawo nazalelwe endlwini yam. Kananjalo imfuyo yeenkomo neyempahla emfutshane yaba ninzi kum, ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababengaphambi kwam eYerusalem.
2:8 Ndaziqwebela nesilivere, negolide, nezinto eziziinqobo zookumkani ngookumkani, nezamazwe ngamazwe; ndazenzela iimvumi neemvumikazi, neziyolo zoonyana babantu, inkosikazi namakhosikazi.
2:9 Ndaba mkhulu ke, ndanda ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababeseYerusalem ngaphambi kwam; bathi nobulumko bam bandinceda.
2:10 Andiwabandezanga into yonke ayibizayo amehlo am; andiyivimbanga intliziyo yam namnye umvuyo; ngokuba intliziyo yam yayivuya emigudwini yam yonke, saba sesi ke isabelo sam emigudwini yam yonke.
2:11 Ndabheka mna ezenzweni zam zonke, ezazenzayo izandla zam, nasemigudwini yam endaphuka yiyo ukuyenza; ndayibona ukuba yonke loo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya; akukho lungelo phantsi kwelanga.
2:12 Ndazijika mna, ndakhangela ubulumko, nobugeza, nobuyatha: ngokuba ngumntu oyini na, lowo uya kuza emva kokumkani? lo ubeselenziwe kade?
2:13 Ndabona ukuba ubulumko buyabugqitha ubuyatha, njengokuba ukukhanya kubugqitha ubumnyama.
2:14 Isilumko, amehlo aso asentlokweni yaso; ke sona isinyabi sihamba emnyameni. Ndaqonda ke mna ukuba bonke bephela bahlelwa sihlo sinye.
2:15 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Njengoko sihlelwa kuko isinyabi, ndiya kuhlelwa kuko nam lo: ibiyini na ke ukuba ndisidlule mna ngokulumka? Ndathi entliziyweni yam, Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:16 Ngokuba isilumko kunye nesinyabi asinakukhunjulwa kungunaphakade, ekubeni kusiza iimini ezoba sezilityelwe zonke ezo nto. Kutheni na, ukuba zife izilumko kunye nezinyabi?
2:17 Ndabuthiya ke ubomi; ngokuba mibi kum imisebenzi eyenzeka phantsi kwelanga; ngokuba yonke loo nto ingamampunge, nokusukelana nomoya.
2:18 Ndayithiya yonke imigudu yam, endaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga, ekubeni ndiya kuyishiya nomntu oya kubakho emva kwam.
2:19 Waziwa ngubani na, ukuba woba sisilumko, nokuba woba sisiyatha, kusini na? Ukanti uya kugunyazela emigudwini yam yonke endaphuka yiyo, endalumkayo kuyo phantsi kwelanga; kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:20 Ndajika ke mna, ndayincamisisa intliziyo yam ngemigudu yonke endaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga.
2:21 Ngokuba kubakho umntu omigudu yakhe inobulumko, inokwazi, inempumelelo; ukanti uya kuyinika umntu ongenzanga migudu, ibe sisabelo sakhe; kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nobubi obukhulu.
2:22 Ngokuba umntu uba nantoni na ngemigudu yakhe yonke, nangenzondelelo yentliziyo yakhe, aphuka yiyo yena phantsi kwelanga?
2:23 Ngokuba imihla yakhe yonke inomvandedwa, nasekuzameni kwakhe ukhathazekile, nasebusuku ayiphumli intliziyo yakhe; kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:24 Akukho nto ilungileyo ebantwini kunokuba badle, basele, bawubonise umphefumlo wabo okulungileyo emigudwini yabo. Kwanaloo nto ndiyibonile, ukuba ivela esandleni sikaThixo.
2:25 Ngokuba ngubani na ongadlayo, ngubani na ongavayo ubumnandi, engenaye?
2:26 Ngokuba umntu olungileyo phambi kwakhe umnika ubulumko nokwazi novuyo; ke yena umoni umnika umzamo wokuhlanganisa nokuqweba, ukuze loo nto ayinike olungileyo phambi koThixo. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
3:1 Into yonke inexesha elimisiweyo, nomcimbi wonke unexesha lawo phantsi kwezulu:
3:2 ukuzala kunexesha lako, ukufa kunexesha lako; ukutyala kunexesha lako, ukunyothula okutyelweyo kunexesha lako;
3:3 ukubulala kunexesha lako, ukuphilisa kunexesha lako; ukuchitha kunexesha lako, ukwakha kunexesha lako;
3:4 ukulila kunexesha lako; ukuhleka kunexesha lako; kukho ixesha lokulila umbambazelo, kukho nexesha lokudloba;
3:5 kukho ixesha lokuchithachitha amatye, kukho nexesha lokufumba amatye; ukuwola kunexesha lako, ukuyeka ukuwola kunexesha lako;
3:6 ukufuna kunexesha lako, ukulahlekelwa kunexesha lako; ukugcina kunexesha lako, ukulahla kunexesha lako;
3:7 ukukrazula kunexesha lako, ukuthunga kunexesha lako; ukuthi cwaka kunexesha lako, ukuthetha kunexesha lako;
3:8 ukuthanda kunexesha lako, ukuthiya kunexesha lako; kukho ixesha lemfazwe, kukho nexesha loxolo.
3:9 Unalungelo lini na lowo usebenzayo, kuloo nto ayenzela imigudu?
3:10 Ndiwubonile umzamo, awunike oonyana babantu uThixo, ukuba bawuzame.
3:11 Zonke izinto uzenze zantle ngexesha lazo; kwanephakade ulinikele ezintliziyweni zabo ngohlobo lokuba umntu angasifumani isenzo asenzayo uThixo, athabathele ekuqaleni ade ase ekupheleni.
3:12 Ndiyazi ke ukuba akukho nto ilungileyo phakathi kwabo, ingekukuvuya nokuzizuzela okulungileyo ebomini babo.
3:13 Kwanokuba wonke umntu adle, asele, abone okulungileyo emigudwini yakhe yonke: sisipho sikaThixo eso.
3:14 Ndiyazi ke ukuba yonke into aya kuyenza uThixo, yiyo eya kuba ngonaphakade; kungongezwa nto kuyo, kungacatshulwa nto kuyo: uThixo ukwenzela ukuba koyikwe ebusweni bakhe.
3:15 Le nto ikhoyo ibiselikho kade; nento eya kubakho ibiselikho kade. UThixo ke ubuya ayifune into egxothiweyo.
3:16 Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga indawo yokugweba, ukuba okungendawo kukhona; nendawo yobulungisa, ukuba okungendawo kukhona.
3:17 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Nolilungisa nongendawo, uThixo uya kulithetha ityala labo; ngokuba umise ixesha layo yonke imicimbi, nazo zonke izenzo.
3:18 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Kungenxa yoonyana babantu, ukuze uThixo abahlele, nokuze bazibone benjengeenkomo bona ngokwabo.
3:19 Ngokuba bayahlelwa oonyana babantu, ziyahlelwa neenkomo, sinye isihlo kubo nakuzo; njengoko kunjalo ukufa kwabo, kunjalo ukufa kwazo; mnye umoya kubo bonke nakuzo zonke; akukho kuyigqitha komntu inkomo; ngokuba zonke ezo nto zingamampunge.
3:20 Zonke ezo nto ziya ndaweni-nye; zonke ezo nto zavela eluthulini, zonke ezo nto zibuyela eluthulini.
3:21 Ngubani na owaziyo umoya woonyana babantu, ukuba uyenyuka na uye phezulu; nomoya wenkomo, ukuba uyehla na uye phantsi emhlabeni?
3:22 Ndaqonda ke ukuba akukho nto ilunge ngaphezu kokuba umntu avuye ezenzweni zakhe; ngokuba kusisabelo sakhe oko. Ngokuba uya kungeniswa ngubani na, ukuba akubone okuya kubakho emveni kwakhe?
4:1 Ndabuya ke mna, ndakubona konke ukucudisa okwenziwayo phantsi kwelanga. Ndazibona iinyembezi zabacudisiweyo, bengenamthuthuzeli; esandleni sabacudisi babo kuphuma ububhovubhovu, bengenamthuthuzeli bona.
4:2 Ndabancoma ke mna abafileyo, abasebefe kade, kunabahleliyo abasahleliyo ngoku.
4:3 Ke ulungile kunabo bobabini lowo ungekabikho, ungakubonanga ukwenza okubi okwenziwa phantsi kwelanga.
4:4 Kananjalo ndayiqonda ke mna yonke imigudu, nayo yonke impumelelo yomsebenzi, ukuba ingumona wokwanyelana. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge, nokusukelana nomoya.
4:5 Isinyabi sikhwabusha izandla, sidle kwaeyaso inyama.
4:6 Kulungile ukuzalisa sandla sinye ngokuphumla, kunokuzalisa zozibini izandla ngemigudu nokusukelana nomoya.
4:7 Ndabuya mna, ndabona amampunge phantsi kwelanga.
4:8 Kukho oba yedwa, ongenaye owesibini, ongenanyana namzalwana; ingena siphelo imigudu yakhe yonke, angahluthiyo noko bubutyebi amehlo akhe. Akatsho ukuthi, Ndaphukela bani na, ndiwuhlutha nje umphefumlo wam okulungileyo? Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge, ingumzamo ombi yona.
4:9 Kulungile ukuba babe ngababini kunokuba abe mnye, kuba banomvuzo olungileyo ngemigudu yabo.
4:10 Ngokuba xa bathe bawa, omnye unokumphakamisa uwabo; yeha ke, yena oyedwa, othe wawa! kuba akukho wesibini wokumphakamisa.
4:11 Kananjalo ababini, bathe balala, baya kuva ukusitha; angathini na ukuva ukusitha olele yedwa?
4:12 Ukuba umntu uthe wamgagamela oyedwa, bona ababini baya kumisa phambi kwakhe; umsonto ontluntathu awuhle uqhawulwe.
4:13 Ulungile umntwana olihlwempu elumkile, ngaphezu kokumkani oselemkhulu, esisidenge, ongasakuvayo ukuyalwa.
4:14 Ngokuba uphuma endlwini yamakhonkxwa ukuba abe ngukumkani; ukanti uzalelwe ebukumkanini balowo ulihlwempu.
4:15 Ndababona bonke abadla ubomi, behamba phantsi kwelanga kunye naye umntwana, lo ungowesibini, uza kuma esikhundleni salowo.
4:16 Akukho kuphela kwabantu bonke, kwabo bonke angaphambi kwabo; ukanti amavela-mva akayi kuvuya ngaye. Ngokuba kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
5:1 Gcina unyawo lwakho xeshikweni uya endlwini kaThixo; ukusondela ukuba uve, kungaphezu kokunikela kwezidenge imibingelelo; ngokuba ukungazi kwazo kwenza izinto ezimbi.
5:2 Musa ukungxama ngomlomo wakho, intliziyo yakho ingaphangi ikhuphe ilizwi phambi koThixo; ngokuba uThixo usemazulwini, ke wena usehlabathini; ngenxa yoko amazwi akho makabe mancinane.
5:3 Ngokuba ukuphupha kuza ngobuninzi bemicimbi, nezwi lesidenge liza ngobuninzi bentetho.
5:4 Xeshikweni uthe wabhambathisa isibhambathiso kuThixo, musa ukuzekelela ukusizalisa; ngokuba azinanzwa izidenge; loo nto uyibhambathisileyo yizalise.
5:5 Kulungile ukuba ungabhambathisi, kunokuba ubhambathise ungazalisi.
5:6 Musa ukuwuvumela umlomo wakho, ukuba uyonise inyama yakho; ungatsho phambi komthunywa kaThixo ukuthi ibikukulahleka. Yini na ukuba uThixo abe noburhalarhume ngezwi lakho asonakalise isenzo sezandla zakho?
5:7 Ngokuba ebuninzini bamaphupha namazwi, maninzi amampunge; ke yoyika uThixo.
5:8 Ukuba uthe wakubona ukucudiswa kwehlwempu, nokuhluthwa kokusesikweni nobulungisa elizweni, musa ukumangaliswa yiloo nto; ngokuba oyena uphakamileyo ukhangele phezu kophakamileyo; kukho abaphakamileyo naphezu kwabo.
5:9 Ilungelo lelizwe entweni yonke ngukumkani onyamekela umhlaba.
5:10 Othanda isilivere akaneliswa yisilivere; nalowo uthanda intabalala, akangenelwa nto. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
5:11 Ekwandeni kwezinto ezilungileyo bayanda abazidlayo zona, abe umninizo enempumelelo eyini na, ingekuko ukwanela ukuzibona ngamehlo?
5:12 Bumnandi ubuthongo bosebenzayo, nokuba incinane, nokuba ininzi into ayidlayo; ke intabalala yesityebi ayisivumeli ukuba silale buthongo.
5:13 Kukho ububi obusisifo, endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga; ukuthi ubutyebi obugcinelwe umninibo, bube nobubi kuye;
5:14 obo butyebi butshabalala ngento embi; uzala unyana, engenayo nento esandleni sakhe.
5:15 Njengokuba waphuma esizalweni sonina eze, uya kubuya emke njengoko weza enjalo, angathabathi nento ngemigudu yakhe, angayiphathayo ngesandla sakhe.
5:16 Kwanale nto bububi obusisifo, ukuba eya kumka kanye kwanjengoko weza ngako: unalungelo lini na ke owaphukela umoya?
5:17 Kananjalo iimini zakhe zonke uzidlela emnyameni, enengqumbo enkulu, nesifo, noburhalarhume.
5:18 Nantsi into endiyibonileyo mna, ilungile, intle: into yokuthi umntu adle, asele, abone okulungileyo ngemigudu yakhe yonke aphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga, ngokwenani lemihla yobomi bakhe amnikileyo uThixo; ngokuba kusisabelo sakhe oko.
5:19 Kananjalo wonke umntu, athe uThixo wamnika ubutyebi nokuqweba, wamnika negunya lokudla kubo, athabathe isabelo sakhe, avuye emigudwini yakhe: sisipho sikaThixo eso.
5:20 Ngokuba akayikhumbuli kakhulu imihla yobomi bakhe; ngokuba uThixo eluphendula uvuyo lwentliziyo yakhe.
6:1 Kukho ububi endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga, buninzi ke phezu komntu:
6:2 yindoda uThixo ayinike ubutyebi, nokuqweba, nozuko, ungasweli umphefumlo wayo nanye into engayinqwenelayo, aze uThixo angayiphi amandla okuyidla; ngokuba idliwa yenye indoda. Ngamampunge lawo, sisifo esibi eso.
6:3 Ukuba umntu uthe wazala ikhulu labantwana, wadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, yamininzi imihla yeminyaka yakhe, umphefumlo wakhe awahlutha zizinto ezilungileyo, kananjalo akaba nangcwaba: ndithi mna, imvambilini ilungile kunaye.
6:4 Ngokuba ifike ingamampunge, imka kumnyama, igama layo ligutyungelwe bubumnyama;
6:5 kananjalo ayilibonanga ilanga, ayilazanga; le yona ilungile kunomntu lowo.
6:6 Nokuba ebeya kudla ubomi iwaka leminyaka kude kube kabini, angakuboni okulungileyo, ayiyi ndaweni-nye na yonke loo nto?
6:7 Yonke imigudu yomntu uyenzela umlomo wakhe: ukanti umphefumlo awuzali.
6:8 Ngokuba isilumko sisigqitha ngantoni na isidenge? Usigqitha ngantoni na olusizana, okwaziyo ukuhamba phambi kwabaphilileyo?
6:9 Kulungile ukubona kwamehlo ngaphezu kokuhambahamba komphefumlo. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
6:10 Loo nto iselikho, yabe iselithiywe kade igama layo; yaziwa into aya kuba yiyo umntu; akanakumelana nalowo unokumeyisa.
6:11 Ngokuba kukho amazwi amaninzi nje, andisa amampunge; umntu unalungelo lini na ngaloo nto?
6:12 Ngokuba ngubani na owaziyo okumlungeleyo umntu ebomini, ngangenani lemihla yobomi bakhe obungamampunge, ayigqiba njengesithunzi? Ngokuba ngubani na onokumxelela umntu into eya kubakho emva kwakhe phantsi kwelanga?
7:1 Igama elilungileyo lingaphezulu nakwioli elungileyo; ulungile umhla wokufa ngaphezu komhla wokuzalwa komntu.
7:2 Kulungile ukuya endlwini yesijwili kunokuya endlwini yemigidi; kuba oko kukuphela kwabantu bonke, aze ophilileyo akunyamekele ngentliziyo oko.
7:3 Kulungile ukuba nosizi ngaphezu kokuhleka; ngokuba intliziyo iyalunga bububi bobuso.
7:4 Intliziyo yezilumko isendlwini yesijwili; ke intliziyo yezidenge isendlwini yovuyo.
7:5 Kulungile ukuva ukukhalimela kwesilumko, kunokuba umntu eve ingoma yezidenge.
7:6 Ngokuba njengokuqhuqhumba kwevaba ngaphantsi kwembiza, kunjalo ukuhleka kwesidenge; naloo nto ingamampunge.
7:7 Ngokuba ukucudisa kugezisa isilumko, siyitshabalalise intliziyo isicengo.
7:8 Kulungile ukugqitywa kwendawo, ngaphezu kokuqalwa kwayo; ulungile umoya ozeka kade umsindo, kunomoya ozidlayo.
7:9 Musa ukukungxamela ukuqumba ngomoya wakho, ngokuba ingqumbo ilala esifubeni sezidenge.
7:10 Musa ukuthi, Ibiyini na, le nto imihla yamandulo ibilungile ngaphezu kwale? ngokuba akuthabatheli ebulumkweni ukuyibuza loo nto.
7:11 Bulungile ubulumko, bunelifa, bulilungelo kwabalibonayo ilanga.
7:12 Ngokuba ubulumko bungumthunzi, imali ingumthunzi; ke ukugqithisela kokwazi, kukuba ubulumko buyabasindisa abo banabo.
7:13 Wukhangele umsebenzi kaThixo; ngokuba ngubani na onokolula into ayenze yagoso?
7:14 Ngomhla wentsikelelo chwayitha, nangomhla wobubi qonda kakuhle, ukuba nalo, kwanjengalowa, wenziwe nguThixo, ngenxa enokuba umntu engafumani nto emva kwakhe.
7:15 Le nto yonke ndiyibonile ngemihla yam engamampunge: kubakho ilungisa elitshabalalayo noko linobulungisa, kubekho ongendawo ophila ixesha elide, noko angendawo.
7:16 Musa ukuba lilungisa ngokukhulu, ungabi sisilumko ngokugqithiseleyo; yini na ukuba uziphanzise?
7:17 Musa ukuba ngongendawo ngokukhulu, ungazenzi isidenge; yini na ukuba ufe lingekabi lixesha lakho?
7:18 Kulungile ukuba ubambelele kule nto nakuleya, ungasiphumzi isandla sakho; ngokuba owoyika uThixo uphumelela kuzo zonke ziphela.
7:19 Ubulumko buyasiqinisa isilumko, ngaphezu kweshumi labanegunya abakulo mzi.
7:20 Ngokuba akukho mntu ulilungisa ehlabathini, wenza okulungileyo, angoni.
7:21 Kananjalo musa ukuyinikela intliziyo yakho kumazwi onke athethwayo, ukuze ungevi umkhonzi wakho, eselekutshabhisa;
7:22 ngokuba intliziyo yakho nayo iyazi izihlandlo ezininzi, ukuba uyabatshabhisa abanye nawe.
7:23 Ezo zinto zonke ndizilingile ngobulumko; ndathi ndiya kulumka; ke bona baba kude kum.
7:24 Hayi, ukuba kude kwezinto ezikhoyo, zinzulu kakhulu; ngubani na oya kuzifumana?
7:25 Ndajika ke mna, ndanentliziyo enga ingazi, ingasingasinga, ifume ubulumko nesigqibo seengcinga; enga ingakwazi okungendawo ukuba kukunyaba, nokumatha ukuba kukugeza.
7:26 Ndayifumana ikrakra ngaphezu kokufa, inkazana eyiyimigibe iphela, ezizibatha intliziyo yayo, ezandla zingamakhamandela olungileyo phambi koThixo uya kusinda kuyo, ke yena umoni uya kubanjiswa yiyo.
7:27 Yabona into endiyifumeneyo, itsho iNtshumayeli, ndihloma enye kwenye, ukuba ndifumane isigqibo seengcinga;
7:28 obumana ukuyifuna umphefumlo wam, ndingayifumani, nantsi: indoda enye ewakeni ndiyifumene, ke yona inkazana kulo lonke andiyifumananga.
7:29 Yabona, le nto yodwa ndiyifumene, yokuba uThixo wamenza umntu wathi tye; ke bona bafune ubuqili obuninzi.
8:1 Ngubani na onjengesilumko esi? Ngubani na okwaziyo ukuconjululwa kwendawo? Ubulumko bomntu bukhanyisa ubuso bakhe, buguqulwe ubungwanyalala bobuso bakhe.
8:2 Mna ndithi, Umthetho wokumkani wugcine, ngenxa yesifungo sikaThixo.
8:3 Musa ukukungxamela ukumka ebusweni bakhe; ungangeni kwiyelenqe; ngokuba into yonke ayinanzileyo uyayenza.
8:4 Ekubeni ilizwi lokumkani linegunya, ngubani na onokuthi kuye, Wenza ntoni na?
8:5 Ogcina umthetho akazi nto imbi; intliziyo yesilumko iyalazi ixesha nesi gwebo;
8:6 ngokuba yonke imicimbi inexesha nesigwebo; ngokuba ububi bomntu buba buninzi phezu kwakhe;
8:7 ngokuba engayazi into eya kubakho. Ngokuba ngubani na onokumxelela njengoko kuya kuba njalo?
8:8 Akukho mntu unokuwugunyazela umoya, awuthintele umoya; akukho unokuyigunyazela imini yokufa; akukho kukhululeka kuloo mfazwe; okungendawo akunakubasiza abaniniko.
8:9 Le nto yonke ndiyibonile, ndayinikela intliziyo yam kwizenzo zonke ezenziwayo phantsi kwelanga, ngexesha athi umntu agunyazele umntu, kube kubi kuye.
8:10 Ekubeni kunjalo, ndibone abangendawo bengcwatywa, begoduka; besithi endaweni engcwele bemke abo benze okulungileyo, balityalwe kuloo mzi.
8:11 Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge. Ekubeni isigwebo singawiswa kamsinyane emsebenzini ombi, ngenxa yoko intliziyo yoonyana babantu izele ngaphakathi kwabo kukwenza okubi.
8:12 Nakubeni umoni esenza okubi izihlandlo ezilikhulu, ayolule imihla yakhe, noko ndiyazi ukuba kuya kulunga kwabamoyikayo uThixo, kwaboyikayo ebusweni bakhe;
8:13 kungalungi kongendawo, angayoluli imihla yakhe, njengethunzi; ekubeni engoyiki ebusweni bukaThixo.
8:14 Kukho amampunge enzekayo ehlabathini: ukuba kukho amalungisa ahlelwa ngokokwenza kwabangendawo; kukho nabangendawo abahlelwa ngokokwenza kwamalungisa; ndathi, kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
8:15 Ndaluncoma ke mna uvuyo, ngokuba kungekho nto imlungeleyo umntu phantsi kwelanga, ngaphezu kokuba adle, asele, avuye; loo nto ithane mbende naye emigudwini yakhe, ngemihla yobomi bakhe amnikayo uThixo phantsi kwelanga.
8:16 Xeshikweni ndayinikelayo intliziyo yam ukuba ndibazi ubulumko, ndiwubone umzamo owenzekayo ehlabathini (ngokuba nasemini nasebusuku ababoni buthongo ngamehlo abo),
8:17 ndasibona ke sonke isenzo sikaThixo, ukuba akanako umntu ukusifumana isenzo eso senzekayo phantsi kwelanga; nakubeni umntu esaphuka ukusifuna, akasifumani. Nokuba sithe isilumko safuna ukwazi, asinakufumana.
9:1 Ngokuba yonke le nto ndayinyamekela ngentliziyo yam, ndayihlela yonke le nto, yokuba amalungisa, nezilumko, nemisebenzi yabo, isesandleni sikaThixo; nokuthanda nokuthiya, akukhona ekwazini kwabantu; le nto yonke basebeyimiselwe.
9:2 Izinto zonke zibahlela ngokufanayo bonke: sinye isihlo kwilungisa nakongendawo; kolungileyo, kohlambulukileyo, nakoyinqambi; kobingelelayo nakongabingeleliyo; njengoko anjalo olungileyo, unjalo nomoni; ofungayo unjengalowo ukoyikayo ukufunga.
9:3 Le yinto embi phakathi kwezinto zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga, ukuthi sibe sinye isihlo kubo bonke; ibe nentliziyo yoonyana babantu izele bububi; ibubugeza entliziyweni yabo besadla ubomi; emveni kwabo kuyiwa kwabafileyo.
9:4 Ngokuba kosukuba ehlonyelwa kwabasadla ubomi, kusekho ithemba; ngokuba inja esaphilileyo ilunge ngaphezu kwengonyama efileyo.
9:5 Ngokuba abadla ubomi bayazi ukuba baya kufa; ke bona abafileyo abazi lutho, abasabi namvuzo; ngokuba balityelwe, abasakhunjulwa nganto.
9:6 Seluphelile kade uthando lwabo, nentiyo yabo, nekhwele labo; abasenasabelo naphakade ezintweni zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga.
9:7 Yiya udle isonka sakho unovuyo, usele iwayini yakho unentliziyo echwayithileyo; ngokuba sekukade ekholisiwe uThixo zizenzo zakho.
9:8 Iingubo zakho mazibe mhlophe ngamaxesha onke, neoli mayingasweleki entlokweni yakho.
9:9 Hlala kakuhle nomfazi omthandileyo ngemihla yonke yobomi bakho obungamampunge, akunikileyo phantsi kwelanga, ngemihla yakho yonke engamampunge; ngokuba sisabelo sakho eso ebomini, nasemigudwini yakho owaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga.
9:10 Yonke into esiyifumanayo isandla sakho ukuba siyenze, yenze ngamandla akho; ngokuba akukho kwenza, nakucinga, nakwazi, nakulumka kwelabafileyo, apho uya khona wena.
9:11 Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga, ukuba ukugidima asikokwabanamendu, imfazwe asiyeyamagorha; kananjalo isonka asisesezilumko; kananjalo ubutyebi asibobabanenqiqo; kananjalo ubabalo asilolwabanokwazi; ngokuba bonke bephela bafikelwa lixesha nasisihlo.
9:12 Ngokuba umntu akalazi nexesha lakhe; njengeentlanzi ezibanjiswe ngomnatha ombi, nanjengeentaka ezibanjiswe ngomgibe, banjalo ukurhintyelwa kwabo oonyana babantu ngexesha elibi, xa libawele ngesiquphe.
9:13 Nale nto ndiyibone ibubulumko phantsi kwelanga, babukhulu kum:
9:14 umzi omncinane unamadoda ambalwa; kweza kuwo ukumkani omkhulu, wawungqinga, wawakhela iimboniselo ezinkulu.
9:15 Wafumana kuwo indoda elihlwempu inobulumko; yona yawusiza umzi ngobulumko bayo; ke akubangakho mntu ubuya ayikhumbule le ndoda ilihlwempu.
9:16 Ndathi ke mna, Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kobugorha; kodwa ubulumko beli hlwempu budelekile, namazwi alo akaviwa.
9:17 Amazwi ezilumko, eviwe ngokuthozama, angaphezu kokunkqangaza kolawula phakathi kwezidenge.
9:18 Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kweempahla zokulwa; ke yena umoni emnye utshabalalisa okulungileyo okuninzi.
10:1 Iimpukane ezifileyo zinukisa zibilise amafutha omqholi; ubudenge obuncinane bunzima kunobulumko nozuko.
10:2 Intliziyo yesilumko ingasekunene kwaso: intliziyo yesidenge ingasekhohlo kwaso.
10:3 Ewe, nasendleleni, xa sithe isidenge sahamba ngayo, siyayiswela intliziyo, sihambe sisithi kubantu bonke, Ndisisidenge.
10:4 Ukuba ukufutha komlawuli kuthe kwenyuka kwakuchasa, musa ukuyishiya indawo yakho; ngokuba ubulali buleleza izono ezikhulu.
10:5 Kukho ububi endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga, obunjengokulahleka okuphuma konegunya:
10:6 ubudenge bunikwa iindawo eziphezulu ezinkulu, zibe izityebi zihleli kwiindawo eziphantsi.
10:7 Ke ndizibone izicaka zikhwele emahasheni, namatshawe ehamba phantsi ngeenyawo njengezicaka.
10:8 Omba isigingqi, angeyela kuso; ochitha uthango, inyoka ingamluma.
10:9 Omba amatye, angenzakala; ocanda iinkuni angaba semngciphekweni.
10:10 Ukuba intsimbi ithe yaba buthuntu, akalulola uhlangothi lwayo, wogonyela ngoko ngamandla; ke ubulumko buyanceda bulungise.
10:11 Ukuba inyoka ithe yaluma kungekho kukhafula, akabi nanzuzo umnyangi.
10:12 Amazwi omlomo wesilumko anokubabala; ke yona imilebe yomlomo wesidenge iginya kwasona.
10:13 Ingqalo, yamazwi omlomo waso bubudenge, nengqibo yomlomo waso bubugeza obubi.
10:14 Isidenge sandisa amazwi, engakwazi umntu okuya kubakho nokuya kubakho emva kwakhe, ngubani na onokumxelela?
10:15 Imigudu yezidenge iyazixhamla, ezingakwaziyo ukuya emzini.
10:16 Yeha, wena lizwe likumkani ungumntwana, limatshawe adla kwakusasa!
10:17 Hayi, uyolo lwakho, lizwe likumkani ungunyana wabanumzana, limatshawe adlayo ngexesha elililo, enobugorha, engenamithayi!
10:18 Ngobuvila iyabhena imiqadi; ngokuthamba kwezandla iyanetha indlu.
10:19 Benza isidlo ukuba bahleke, iwayini ivuyise ubomi; imali ilungele iinto zonke.
10:20 Musa ukumtshabhisa ukumkani, nasesazeleni sakho, ungasitshabhisi nesityebi ezingontsini zakho zokulala; ngokuba intaka yasendle yolihambisa elo zwi, nento enamaphiko iyixele loo ntetho.
11:1 Siphose isonka sakho phezu kwamanzi, ngokuba wosifumana kwakuba ziintsuku ezininzi.
11:2 Yahlula izahlulo zibe sixhenxe, zibe sibhozo, ngokuba akuyazi into embi eya kubakho ehlabathini.
11:3 Ukuba amafu athe azala yimvula, ayithululela emhlabeni; ukuba umthi uthe wawa, wabheka ezantsi, nokuba uthe wabheka entla, kuloo ndawo uwe kuyo umthi lowo, wolala khona.
11:4 Ogqala umoya akayi kuhlwayela; okhangela amafu akayi kuvuna.
11:5 Njengokuba ungayazi ukuba yiyiphi na indlela yomoya, kwanjengokuyilwa kwamathambo esiswini somithiyo; ngokunjalo akusazi isenzo sikaThixo owenza izinto zonke.
11:6 Kusasa hlwayela imbewu yakho, nangokuhlwa ungasiphumzi isandla sakho; ngokuba ungazi ukuba kolunga yiphi na, nokuba yile nokuba yileya, kusini na, nokuba zolunga ngakunye zombini na.
11:7 Kumnandi ukukhanya, kulungile emehlweni ukulibona ilanga.
11:8 Ngokuba umntu, ukuba uthe wadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, makavuye ngayo yonke iphela, noko ke akhumbule imihla yobumnyama, ukuba iya kuba mininzi. Yonke into ezayo ingamampunge.
11:9 Vuya, ndodana, ebutsheni bakho, ikuchwayithise intliziyo yakho ngemihla yobudodana bakho, uhambe ngeendlela zentliziyo yakho, nangokukhangela kwamehlo akho; kodwa yazi ukuba ngenxa yezo zinto zonke uThixo uya kukusa ematyaleni.
11:10 Yisuse ke ingqumbo entliziyweni yakho, ubudlulise ububi enyameni yakho; ngokuba ubutsha nobudoda bungamampunge.
12:1 Uze umkhumbule ke uMdali wakho ngemihla yobutsha bakho, ingekezi imihla yobubi, ingekafiki iminyaka owothi ngayo, Ayindiyolele;
12:2 lingekabi mnyama ilanga, nokukhanya, nenyanga, neenkwenkwezi, engekabuyi amafu emva kwemvula;
12:3 loo mini baya kungevezela abagcini bendlu, agobe amadoda anobukroti, ziyeke iintokazi ezisilayo ngokuba zimbalwa, kube mnyama kwabakhangela ngeefestile;
12:4 zivalwe iingcango ngasesitratweni, kwakubon ukuba sidambile isandi sokusila, evuka kwazisathetha iintaka, zinqwilile zonke iintombi zengoma;
12:5 naxeshikweni baya kuzoyika iindawo eziphakamileyo, neento eziqhiphula umbilini zibe sendleleni; utyatyambe umamangile, uchabachabase umqhathu, utshitshe umnqweno; ngokuba umntu esiya ekhayeni lakhe laphakade, bajikajike ezitratweni abambambazeli;
12:6 ingekaqhawuki intambo yesilivere, lityumke iselwa legolide, uqhekeke umphanda emthonjeni, yaphuke ivili iwe equleni;
12:7 lungekabuyeli emhlabeni uthuli, njengoko belunjalo, umoya ubuyele kuThixo owawunikayo.
12:8 Amampunge awo amampunge, itsho iNtshumayeli; into yonke ingamampunge.
12:9 Phezu koko, ngokuba iNtshumayeli ibisisilumko, yamana ibafundisa abantu ukwazi, yalinganisela, yabagocagoca, yayila imizekeliso emininzi.
12:10 INtshumayeli yafuna, inga ingafumana amazwi anandiphekayo, kuthi nokubhalwayo kulunge, ibe ngamazwi enyaniso.
12:11 Amazwi ezilumko anjengeemviko; anjengezikhonkwane ezitshonisiweyo asezintlanganiseleni, anikwe ngumalusi emnye.
12:12 Nangaphezu koko, nyana wam, vuseleleka; ukwenza iincwadi ezininzi akunakuphela, nokuphikela ukufunda okuninzi kudinisa inyama.
12:13 Ukuhlanganiswa kwentetho, yakuba ivakele into yonke, nanku: Yoyika uThixo, ugcine imithetho yakhe; ngokuba indawo leyo yimfanelo yoluntu lonke.
12:14 Ngokuba izenzo zonke uThixo uya kuzizisa ekugwetyweni, izinto zonke ezifihlakeleyo, nokuba zilungile nokuba zimbi.

1:1 Isihlabo esisingisele kwiNineve. Incwadi yombono kaNahum wase-Elekoshe.
1:2 UYehova nguThixo onobukhwele, ophindezelayo; uYehova ngumphindezeli obushushu bukhulu; uYehova ngumphindezeli kubachasi bakhe, ezigcinela iintshaba zakhe umsindo wakhe.
1:3 UYehova uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ke ngamandla, ongakhe amenze msulwa onetyala; uYehova, indlela yakhe isesivunguvaneni naseluqhwitheleni, namafu aluthuli lweenyawo zakhe.
1:4 Ukhalimela ulwandle, alutshise, ayomise nemilambo yonke; intshwenyile iKarmele neBhashan, intshwenyile intyantyambo yaseLebhanon.
1:5 Iintaba ziyanyikima phambi kwakhe, neenduli ziyanyibilika; liyafukuka ihlabathi ebusweni bakhe, elimiweyo nabemi bonke abakulo.
1:6 Ngubani na ongemayo phambi kobhavumo lwakhe? Ngubani na ongaziphakamisayo ekuvutheni komsindo wakhe? Ubushushu bakhe buphalazeka njengomlilo, namawa ayadilizwa nguye.
1:7 UYehova ulungile, uligwiba ngemini yembandezelo; uyabazi abazimela ngaye.
1:8 Ke uyayiphelisa indawo yayo ngomkhukula ehamba phandle, azisukele iintshaba zakhe emnyameni
1:9 Nicinga ntoni na ngoYehova? Uyaphelisa yena; imbandezelo ayisayi kuphakama izihlandlo ezibini.
1:10 Kuba bofanelana bephinyelene ngokweziphingo, benxila yiwayini yabo emnandi: baya kudliwa kuphele, njengeendiza ezomileyo.
1:11 Kuphume kuwe ocinga okubi ngoYehova, oceba ubutshijolo.
1:12 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Noko bapheleleyo, bebaninzi nokuba baninzi, baya kusikwa noko benjalo, badlule. Ndikucinezele nje, andiyi kuphinda ndikucinezele.
1:13 Ngoku ke ndiya kuyaphula idyokhwe yakhe, ingabikho kuwe; ndiziqhawule izitropu zakho.
1:14 Ke uYehova uwise umthetho ngawe, wokuba akusayi kuba sahlwayelwa nto inegama lakho; endlwini yothixo wakho ndowunqumla umfanekiso oqingqiweyo notyhidiweyo; ndiya kulenza ingcwaba akho; kuba wafunyanwa ulula.
1:15 Yabonani, zisezintabeni iinyawo zabashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo, abavakalisa usindiso. Yenza imithendeleko yakho, Yuda, zalisa izibhambathiso zakho; ngokuba akasayi kubuya acande kuwe olitshijolo; unqunyulwe kwaphela.
2:1 Kunyuke umhlekezi, weza phambi kwakho, Nineve; londoloza inqaba yakho, bonisela endleleni, qinisa izinqe, khupha amandla kunene.
2:2 Ngokuba uYehova ulibuyele iqhayiya lakwaYakobi ngokweqhayiya lakwaSirayeli; ngokuba abathi qongqololo bathe qongqololo; bawonakalisile amasebe abo emidiliya.
2:3 Ingweletshetshe yamagorha akhe yenziwe ingqombela, amadoda anobu kroti athiwe wambu ngezibomvu; iinqwelo zokulwa zinomlilo ophuma ezintsimbini ngemini yokuxhoba kwakhe, izinto zemisipres ziyatyityimba.
2:4 Iinqwelo zokulwa ziyadlongozela ezitratweni, ziyagilana emabaleni; ukubonakala kwazo kunjengezikhuni ezitshangaziswayo, zibaleka njengemibane.
2:5 Ukhumbule iingangamsha zakhe; ziya kukhubeka ekuhambeni kwazo; zingxamela eludongeni lwayo, selimisiwe ikhuselo.
2:6 Amasango asemilanjeni avuliwe, linyibilikile ibhotwe.
2:7 Kugqityiwe kwelokuba iya kuhlutywa, imkiswe, nabakhonzazana bayo badumzele ngokwelizwi lamavukuthu, bebetha ezifubeni zabo.
2:8 INineve injengechibi lamanzi, kususela koko yabakhoyo; bayabaleka noko; kuba angathiwa, Yimani, yimani! hayi, akubikho uphethulayo.
2:9 Phangani isilivere, phangani igolide; akunakuphela ukuxhotyiswa ngobuninzi beempahla zonke ezinqwenelekayo.
2:10 Kuthe qongqololo, kwathi qongqololo, kwaba selubala; intliziyo inyibilikile, amadolo ayagevezela; yinimba emanqeni onke, ubuso bonke buphela buba luthuthu.
2:11 Siphi na isikhundla seengonyama, nedlelo elo leengonyama ezintsha, ebilihamba ingonyama induna nengonyamakazi, ithole lengonyama, kungekho wothusayo?
2:12 Ingonyama le iqwenga okwanele amathole ayo, ikrwitshele iingonyamakazi zayo, izalise imingxuma yayo ngexhoba, nezikhundla zayo ngento eqwengiweyo.
2:13 Uthi uYehova wemikhosi, Yabona, ndikuchasile; ndozitshisa iinqwelo zakho zokulwa zibe ngumsi, ikrele lizidle iingonyama zakho ezintsha; ndilinqumle ehlabathini ixhoba lakho, lingabi savakala izwi labathunywa bakho.
3:1 Yeha, umzi wamagazi! Uzele kwaphela luhanahaniso nakukudlavula; akumki kuwo ukuqwenga.
3:2 Isithonga seziniya, nesithonga sokugoqoza kweevili, nokuphala kwamahashe, nokuxhuma kweenqwelo zokulwa;
3:3 abamahashe besenza amagqasi, ukubengezela kwamakrele, nokumenyezela kwezikhali; ukuba baninzi ababuleweyo, izigigaba zabafileyo; ewe, azinakuphela izidumbu; bayakhubeka ezidumbini zabo;
3:4 ngenxa yobuninzi bezihenyuzo zehenyukazi elihle, elinesoya, umnikazi-kukhafula, othengisa iintlanga ngezihenyuzo zakhe, nemizalwane ngokukhafula kwakhe.
3:5 Uthi uYehova wemikhosi, Yabona, ndikuchasile; ndozityhila iingubo zakho, ndiziphose phezu kobuso bakho, ndizibonise iintlanga ubuze bakho; ndizibonise izikumkani ukucukucezwa kwakho.
3:6 Ndiya kukugalela ngezinto ezinezothe, ndikwenze inqambi, ndikwenze ube njengento ebonelwayo.
3:7 Kuya kuthi, bonke abakubonayo bakubaleke, bathi, INineve ibhuqekile; ngubani na oya kuyikhuza? ndokufunela phi na abathuthuzeli?
3:8 Uyidlule ngokulunga yini na iNo ka-Amon, eyamisa emijelweni yoMnayile, amanzi engeenxa zonke kuyo; elungqameko lwayo ibilulwandle, udonga lwayo lululwandle?
3:9 Ayengamandla ayo amaKushi kwanamaYiputa, engenakuphela ndawo ke; amaPuti namaLubhi avengabancedisi bayo.
3:10 Nayo ke leyo yafuduswa, yathinjwa, neentsana zayo zacunyuzwa ezimbonjeni zezitrato zonke; amadoda azukileyo kuyo bawenzela amaqashiso; bonke abakhulu kuyo babakhonkxa ngemixokelelwane.
3:11 Nawe lo uya kunxila, uya kufihlakala; nawe lo uya kufuna igwiba ngenxa yotshaba.
3:12 Zonke iinqaba zakho ziyimikhiwane enamakhiwane aqalelayo; ukuba avuthululwe, owa emlonyeni wowadlayo.
3:13 Yabona, abantu bakho bangamankazana phakathi kwakho apho; avulekile amasango elizwe lakho, avulekela iintshaba zakho; umlilo utshisa imivalo yakho.
3:14 Zikhelele amanzi angqingo, qinisa iinqaba zakho; ngena eludakeni, uxovule udongwe; lungisa iziko lokutshisa izitena.
3:15 Khona apho umlilo uya kukutshisa; ikrele liya kukunqumla, liya kukudla njengenkumbi ekhothululayo. Zandise njengenkumbi ekhothululayo, zandise njengenkumbi eyandayo.
3:16 Ubandisile ke abarhwebi bakho ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi zezulu; inkumbi ekhothululayo igalelekile, yabhunyula, yabaleka yemka.
3:17 Abaluluhle bakho banjengeenkumbi ezandayo, abathetheli bakho banjengemiqikela, ngemiqikela yeenkumbi, ezilalisa ezintangweni mhla ngengqele; lithi lingaphuma ilanga, zibaleke zimke, ingazeki indawo yazo, ukuba ziphi na.
3:18 Balele abalusi bakho, kumkani Asiriya; zilele phantsi iingangamsha zakho; bathe phangalala abantu bakho ezintabeni, akukho ubabuthayo.
3:19 Akuhlangani ukwaphuka kwakho; inxeba lakho lelibulalayo. Bonke abazivayo iindaba zakho babetha izandla ngawe; ngokuba ngubani na ezingadlulanga phezu kwakhe izinto zakho ezimbi ngamaxesha onke?

1:1 Ilizwi likaYehova elafika kuMika waseMoreshete, ngemihla kaYotam, ka-Ahazi, kaHezekiya, ookumkani bakwaYuda, awalibonayo ngokusingisele kwelakwaSamari neYerusalem.
1:2 Yivani nonke, zizwe niphela; bazani indlebe, hlabathi nenzaliseko yalo; mayibe lingqina iNkosi uYehova ngani, iNkosi etempileni yayo engcwele.
1:3 Kuba nanko uYehova ephuma endaweni yakhe, eya kuhla, anyathele phezu kwemimango yehlabathi.
1:4 Ziya kunyibilika iintaba phantsi kwakhe, zicandeke izihlambo, njengomthwebeba phambi komlilo, njengamanzi ephalazwe exandekeni.
1:5 Konke oko kungesikreqo sakwaYakobi, kungesono sendlu kaSirayeli. Ngubani na obange isikreqo sakwaYakobi? AsingowakwaSamari na? Ngubani na obange iziganga zakwaYuda? AsingowaseYerusalem na?
1:6 Ngoko ke ndolenza elakwaSamari libe yimfumba yamatye esisimi, libe ziindawo zokutyala imidiliya; ndiwaphose amatye alo emfuleni, ndizityhile iziseko zalo.
1:7 Iya kuqotywa yonke imifanekiso yalo eqingqiweyo, lutshiswe ngomlilo lonke utsheqo lwalo, ndizichithe zonke izithixo zalo; ngokuba lizibuthe ngotsheqo lwehenyukazi, ziya kubuya ke zibe lutsheqo lwehenyukazi.
1:8 Ngoko ke ndiya kumbambazela, ndibhomboloze; ndiya kuhamba ndihlunyulwe, ndishiywe ndize; ndiya kukhala njengempungutye, ndilile njengenciniba.
1:9 Kuba amanxeba alo akanakunyangwa; ngokuba kude kwafika nakwaYuda, kwada kwafika esangweni labantu bam eYerusalem.
1:10 Musani ukukuxela eGati, musani ukulila nokulila; eBhetele-afra ndizigalele ngothuli.
1:11 Dlulani, bemi baseShafire, nihambe ze ngokulihlazo; abemi baseTsanan abaphumanga: umbambazelo lwaseBhete-etsele lunihlutha ukuma kwenu kuyo.
1:12 Kuba abemi baseMaroti bazibhijabhija ngenxa yokulungileyo; kuba kuhle ububi buphuma kuYehova, beza esangweni leYerusalem.
1:13 Bophani iimbaleki ezinqwelweni zokulwa, bemi baseLakishe; ibikukuqala kwesono entombini enguZiyon, ukuthi zifunyanwe kuyo izikreqo zakwaSirayeli.
1:14 Ngako oko uya kuyinika iMoreshete yaseGati inqakwe; izindlu zaseAkezibhi ziya kuba ngumlambo okhohlisayo kookumkani bakwaSirayeli.
1:15 Ndisaya kuyizisa indlalifa kuni, bemi baseMaresha; baya kufika eAdulam abazukileyo bakwaSirayeli. Chebani, niziguye iintloko, ngenxa yoonyana beziyolo zenu;
1:16 kwenzeni banzi ukucheba kwenu, njengexhalanga; kuba bathinjiwe kuwe.
2:1 Athi ke, abo bacinga ubutshinga, basebenze ububi ezililini zabo! abathi ekukhanyeni kwengomso babenze, ngokuba isandla sabo singuthixo wabo.
2:2 Banqwenela amasimi, bawahluthe; kwanezindlu, bazithabathe; bacudisa umfo nendlu yakhe, indoda nelifa layo.
2:3 Ngako oko utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndicinga ububi ngale mizalwane, eningayi kuzirhola iintamo zenu kubo, ningahambi niqhankqalaza; kuba lixesha lobubi.
2:4 Ngaloo mini kuya kwenziwa umzekeliso ngani, bameme isimema, kuthiwe, Kwenzekile; sibhuqiwe sabhuqwa. Isahlulo sabantu bakowethu usananisile; hayi, ukusisusa kwakhe kum! amasimi ethu uwabela amaphamba.
2:5 Ngako oko akuyi kuba naye okuphosela ulutya kwiqashiso ebandleni likaYehova.
2:6 Bathi, Musani ukuwisa intetho, bewisa intetho; ukuba abathe bawisa intetho kubo abo, akayi kubuya umva amahlazo.
2:7 Wena kuthiwa uyindlu kaYakobi, uyazekaneka na uMoya kaYehova? kukwenza kwakhe na oku? Akalungisi na amazwi am kohamba ngokuthe tye?
2:8 Izolo eli abantu bam basuke ngokotshaba; nibahluba ingubo ende yokwaleka kwengaphantsi, abadlula bekholosile, bengathandi kulwa.
2:9 Abafazi babantu bam niyabagxotha ezindlwini zeziyolo zabo; ebantwaneni babo nizithabathile izivatho zam ngonaphakade.
2:10 Sukani, nihambe; kuba asiyiyo indawo yokuphumla kwenu le; ngenxa yobunqambi bayo obonakalisayo, obonakalisayo kakhulu.
2:11 Ukuba bekukho umntu ohamba nomoya, exokisa ngamanga, esithi, Ndiya kuwisa intetho kuwe ngokusingisele kwiwayini, nakwisiselo esinxilisayo, ubeya kuba ngumwisi-ntetho kwaba bantu.
2:12 Ndiya kukuhlanganisa okunene, Yakobi, uphela; okunene ndiya kuwabutha amasalela akwaSirayeli; ndiya kubenza babe banye, njengempahla emfutshane yaseBhotsera, njengomhlambi ophakathi kwedlelo lawo; baya kuxokozela ngokuba baninzi kwabantu.
2:13 Unyuke phambi kwabo umgqobhozi; bayagqobhoza, bayangena esangweni, bayaphuma kwangalo; ukumkani wabo uhamba phambi kwabo, uYehova esentloko kubo.
3:1 Ndathi, Khanive, zintloko zakwaYakobi, nani baphathi bendlu kaSirayeli; asikokwenu na ukukwazi okusesikweni?
3:2 nina, bathiyi bokulungileyo, bathandi bokubi; nina bahlinzi bolusu lwabantu, nenyama yabo emathanjeni abo;
3:3 nina, bayidlileyo inyama yabantu bam; balobula ulusu iwabo; bawaphula amathambo abo; bawaxhaxha ngathi ngawembiza, ngathi yinyama kungxawu.
3:4 Baya kwandula bakhale kuYehova, angabaphenduli: asuke abusithelise ubuso bakhe kubo ngelo xesha, njengoko bazenze zambi iintlondi zabo.
3:5 Utsho uYehova ngokusingisele kubaprofeti ababandwendwisayo abantu bakowethu; abathi, xa banokuhlafunwayo, baze bamemeze uxolo: bathi, osukuba engafaki nto emlonyeni wabo, bamngcwalisele imfazwe, ukuthi:
3:6 Ngako oko niya kuba nobusuku, iphuthe imibono; nibe nobumnyama, kuphuthe ukuvumisa; litshone ilanga kubaprofeti, ibe mnyama imini kubo.
3:7 Ziya kudana iimboni, babe neentloni abavumisi, bazigqubuthele iindevu bonke bephela; ngokuba kungekho mpendulo kaThixo.
3:8 Ke mna ndizele ngamandla ngomoya kaYehova, ndizele kokusesikweni nobugora, ukuze ndimxelele uYakobi ukreqo lwakhe, uSirayeli isono sakhe.
3:9 Khanive oku, nina zintloko zendlu kaYakobi, nani baphathi bendlu kaSirayeli, abakwenza amasikizi okusesikweni, bakujikajike konke okuthe tye;
3:10 abayakha iZiyon ngamagazi, neYerusalem ngobugqwetha.
3:11 Iintloko zayo zigweba ngenxa yesicengo, nababingeleli bayo bayayala ngenxa yomvuzo, nabaprofeti bayo bavumisa ngenxa yemali; baze bayame ngoYehova, besithi, UYehova akaphakathi kwethu, yini na? asiyi kuzelwa bubi.
3:12 Ngako oko, ngenxa yenu iya kulinywa iZiyon ibe yintsimi, iYerusalem ibe yimiwewe, intaba yayo indlu ibe yimimango yehlathi.
4:1 Ke kaloku, ekupheleni kwemihla, intaba yendlu kaYehova iya kuzinza encotsheni yazo iintaba, yona iziphakamele iinduli, zibe ngumsinga izizwe ukuya kuyo.
4:2 Ziya kubamba iintlanga ezininzi, zithi, Hambani, sinyuke siye entabeni kaYehova, endlwini yoThixo kaYakobi, ukuze asiyalele iindlela zakhe, sihambe ngomendo wakhe; kuba uya kuphuma eZiyon umyalelo, nelizwi likaYehova eYerusalem.
4:3 Uya kugweba phakathi kwezizwe ezininzi, ohlwaye iintlanga ezinamandla, ade ase kude; ziwakhande, amakrele azo abe ngamakhuba, nezikhali zazo zibe zizitshetshe zokuthena imidiliya. Uhlanga aluyi kuphakamisela kuhlanga ikrele lalo, bangabi safunda ukulwa.
4:4 Baya kuhlala elowo phantsi komdiliya wakhe, naphantsi komkhiwane wakhe, kungabikho uboyikisayo; kuba umlomo kaYehova wemikhosi uthethile.
4:5 Kuba zonke izizwe zihamba, sona eso egameni lothixo waso; thina ke sihamba egameni likaYehova uThixo wethu, ngonaphakade kanaphakade.
4:6 Ngayo loo mini, utsho uYehova, ndiya kubahlanganisa abaqhwalelayo, ndibabuthe abagxothiweyo, nabendibaphethe kakubi;
4:7 ndibenze abaqhwalelayo babe ngamasalela, nabakhweleliselwa kude babe luhlanga olunamandla, uYehova abe ngukumkani kubo entabeni yeZiyon, kususela ngoku kude kuse ephakadeni.
4:8 Wena ke, nqaba ende yomhlambi, nduli yentombi enguZiyon, luya kuza lufikelele kuwe olwangaphambili ulawulo, lokuba bubukumkani bentombi enguYerusalem.
4:9 Ngokunje ukhalelani na ngoku kukhala? Akakho na ukumkani kuwe? Umcebisi wakho ubhubhile na, ukuba ubanjwe nje kukuzibhijabhija, njengozalayo?
4:10 Zibhijabhije, ubhanyalaze njengozalayo, ntombi inguZiyon; ngokuba ngoku uya kuphuma phakathi komzi, uhlale endle, ude uye eBhabheli; uya kuhlangulwa khona; uya kukukhulula khona uYehova esandleni seentshaba zakho.
4:11 Ngoku ke kuhlanganisene iintlanga ezininzi ngawe, zisithi, Mayihlanjelwe, ayibone amehlo ethu iZiyon.
4:12 Ke zona ezi azizazi iingcinga zikaYehova, aziliqondi icebo lakhe; kuba uzibuthile njengezithungu zesanda.
4:13 Suk ume, ubhule, ntombi inguZiyon, kuba uphondo lwakho ndilwenza isinyithi, neempuphu zakho ndizenza ubhedu. Uya kucola iintlanga ezininzi, uyisingele phantsi kuYehova inzuzo yazo embi, ubusingele phantsi kwiNkosi yehlabathi lonke ubutyebi bazo.
5:1 Kaloku ngungelanani, ntombi yongungelwano; bayasingqinga, babetha ngentonga esidleleni nakumgwebi wakwaSirayeli.
5:2 Ke wena, Bhetelehem-efrata, umncinane kunokuba ubekho emawakeni akwaYuda, kuya kuphuma kuwe, eze ngenxa yam, oya kuba ngumlawuli kwaSirayeli, oziphumo zakhe zisusela kumandulo, zisusela kwimihla yasephakadeni.
5:3 Ngako oko uya kubanikela kude kube lixesha lokuzala kozalayo, ade abuye amasalela abazalwana bakhe, kunye noonyana bakaSirayeli;
5:4 uya kuma, aluse enamandla kaYehova, enobungangamsha begama likaYehova uThixo wakhe; bahlale; ngokuba ngoku uya kuba mkhulu, ese eziphelweni zehlabathi.
5:5 Woba luxolo lowo. Xa uAsiriya azileyo ezweni lakowethu, xa anyathelayo ezingxandeni zethu ezinde, siya kumisela abalusi abasixhenxe, neenkosi zabantu ezisibhozo, zimelane naye.
5:6 Baya kulalusa ilizwe laseAsiriya ngekrele, nelizwe lakwaNimrodi emasangweni alo; asihlangule kuma-Asiriya, xa azileyo ezweni lakowethu, xa anyathelayo emideni yethu.
5:7 Amasalela akwaYakobi aya kuba phakathi kwezizwe ezininzi, njengombethe ophuma kuYehova, njengamathontsi emvula ebutyanini; engathembele mntwini, engalindele koonyana babantu.
5:8 Amasalela akwaYakobi oba sezintlangeni, phakathi kwezizwe ezininzi, njengengonyama phakathi kweenyamakazi zehlathi; njengengonyama entsha phakathi kwemihlambi yeegusha, yona ithi, ingacanda kuzo, isuke inyhashe, iqwenge, kungabikho mhlanguli.
5:9 Masiphakame isandla sakho, sibe phezu kwababandezeli bakho, zinqunyulwe zonke iintshaba zakho.
5:10 Kothi ngaloo mini, utsho uYehova, ndiwanqumle amahashe akho, angabikho phakathi kwakho, ndizitshabalalise iinqwelo zakho zokulwa.
5:11 Ndoyinqumla imizi yelizwe lakowenu, ndizigungxule zonke iinqaba zakho;
5:12 ndibanqamle abakhafuli, bangabikho esandleni sakho; amatola angabikho kuwe.
5:13 Ndiya kuyinqumla imifanekiso yakho eqingqiweyo, nezimiso zakho zamatye, zingabikho phakathi kwakho; ungabi saqubuda kumsebenzi wezandla zakho.
5:14 Ndobanyothula ooAshera bakho, bangabikho phakathi kwakho; ndiyitshabalalise imizi yakho.
5:15 Ndiya kuphindezela ndinomsindo, ndishushu ezintlangeni ezingevayo.
6:1 Khanive akuthethayo uYehova; uthi, Suk ume, ubambanene entaba, iinduli zilive ilizwi lakho.
6:2 Yivani, zintaba, ukubambana kukaYehova, nani zimakade, ziseko zehlabathi; kuba uYehova ubambene nabantu bakhe, uya kuphikisana namaSirayeli.
6:3 Bantu bam, ndenze ntoni na kuni? Ndinidinise ngantoni na? Ndiphenduleni.
6:4 Ngokuba ndaninyusa ezweni laseYiputa, ndanikhulula endlwini yamakhoboka, ndathuma phambi kwenu ooMoses, noAron, noMiriyam.
6:5 Bantu bam, khanikukhumbule ukucebisa kukaBhalaki ukumkani wakwaMowabhi, nokuphendula kukaBhileham unyana kaBhehori, ethabathela eShitim, wada wesa eGiligali, ukuze niyazi imisebenzi kaYehova yobulungisa.
6:6 Ndiya kumkhawulela uYehova ndinantoni na? Ndiye kuzigoba na kuThixo ophezulu? Ndiya kumkhawulela ndinamadini anyukayo na, ndinamathole amnyaka mnye na?
6:7 Wokholiswa na uYehova ngamawaka eenkunzi zezimvu, ngamawaka alishumi emilambo yeoli? Ndorhola owamazibulo na ngenxa yesikreqo sam, isiqhamo somzimba wam na ngenxa yesono somphefumlo wam?
6:8 Uxelelwe, mntundini, okulungileyo: akubizayo uYehova kuwe, kukuthi wenze okusesikweni, uthande inceba, uhambe noThixo wakho ngokuthozamileyo.
6:9 Izwi likaYehova libhekisa kuwo umzi ukubiza, igama lakho liyayibona eyona nto iyiyo. Yiveni intonga, nalowo uyiyalelayo.
6:10 Busekho na ubuncwane bokungendawo endlwini yongendawo, ne-efa edlekileyo, ebhavunyelweyo?
6:11 Ndoqaqamba na ndinesikali sokungendawo, ndinengxowa yamatye enkohliso?
6:12 Kuba izityebi zakhona zizele lugonyamelo, nabemi bakhona bathethe ubuxoki, nolwimi lwabo lube lunenkohliso emlonyeni wabo.
6:13 Nam ke ndikuxabele ngokubulalayo, ndikuphanzisile ngenxa yezono zakho.
6:14 Wena uya kudla, ungahluthi, uhlale unephango; usabise, ungasindisi; nokusindileyo ndikunikele ekreleni.
6:15 Wena uya kuhlwayela, ungavuni; wena uya kuxovula umnquma, ungazithambisi ngeoli; uxovule iwayini entsha, ungaseli wayini.
6:16 Bazigcinela imimiselo kaOmri, nezenzo zonke zendlu ka-Ahabhi, nisuke nihambe ngamacebo abo; ukuze ndinenze nibe ngummangaliso, nabemi bayo babe ngumsondlo; ngoko niya kuthwala ukungcikivwa kwabantu bam.
7:1 Athi ke mna! Kuba ndisuke ndaba njengokuhlanganiswa kweziqhamo zasehlotyeni, njengokubhikicwa kweediliya; akukho sihloko sakudliwa; akukho khiwane liqalelayo, linqwenelwayo ngumphefumlo wam.
7:2 Udakile owenceba, akabakho ehlabathini; akasekho nothe tye phakathi koluntu; bonke bephela balalela igazi, elowo uzingela umzalwana wakhe ngomnatha.
7:3 Izandla zabo zozibini zisentweni embi ukuba ziyifeze; uthi umthetheli acele ngegunya, umgwebi enzele umvuzo; omkhulu yena uthetha ububi bomphefumlo wakhe; benjenjalo ke ukuyiphotha.
7:4 Olungileyo kubo unjengomtholo, othe tye ugqithisele nakuthango lweminga; iyeza imini yababoniseli bakho, yokuvelelwa kwakho, kubekho ngoku ukudideka kwabo.
7:5 Musani ukukholwa nguwenu, ningakholosi ngekholwane; nakolele esifubeni sakho, zigcine iingcango zomlomo wakho.
7:6 Ngokuba unyana umenza isidenge uyise, intombi isukela phezulu kunina, umolokazana kuninazala; iintshaba zomntu ngabantu bendlu yakhe.
7:7 Mna ke ndiya kuqwalasela kuYehova; ndiya kulindela kuThixo wokusindiswa kwam; uya kundiva uThixo wam.
7:8 Musa ukundivuyelela, lutshaba lwam; kuba, ndiwile nje, ndiya kubuya ndivuke; kuba, ndihleli emnyameni nje, uYehova uya kuba kukukhanya kum.
7:9 Ukujala kukaYehova ndiya kukuthwala, kuba ndonile kuye, ade andithethelele etyaleni lam, andilungisele; uya kundikhuphela ekukhanyeni; ndiya kububona ubulungisa bakhe.
7:10 Ke utshaba lwam luya kubona, lugutyungelwe kukudana, obe lusithi kum, Uphi na uYehova, uThixo wakho? Amehlo am aya kulubona; kungoku luya kunyathelwa njengodaka lwezitrato.
7:11 Iyeza imini yokwakhiwa kweendonga zakho; ngaloo mini uya kuba kude ummiselo.
7:12 Ngaloo mini boza kuwe, bevela eAsiriya nasemizini yaseYiputa, bethabathela eYiputa, bade base kuwo uMlambo; bethabathela elwandle, base elwandle; bethabathela entabeni base entabeni.
7:13 Kuya kuba senkangala elizweni, ngenxa yabemi balo, ngenxa yeziqhamo zeentlondi zabo.
7:14 Yalusa abantu bakho ngentonga yakho, iigusha zelifa lakho, ezihleli zodwa, ehlathini phakathi kweKarmele; mazidle eBhashan nakwelaseGiliyadi, ngokweemini zasephakadeni.
7:15 Ngokweemini zokuphuma kwakho ezweni laseYiputa, ndiya kubabonisa imisebenzi ebalulekileyo.
7:16 Iintlanga ziya kubona, zibudanele ubugorha bazo bonke; ziya kubeka isandla emlonyeni, iindlebe zazo ziya kuba zizithulu.
7:17 Ziya kukhotha uthuli njengenyoka, njengezinambuzane zehlabathi; ziya kuphuma zigungqa ekuvingcelweni kwazo; ziya kuya zinkwantya kuYehova uThixo wethu, zoyike phambi kwakho.
7:18 Ngubani na onguThixo onjengawe, oxolela ubugwenxa, adlule esikreqweni samasalela elifa lakhe? Akawugcini unaphakade umsindo wakhe; kuba yena uthanda ukwenza inceba.
7:19 Wobuya abe nemfesane kuthi, abunyathelele phantsi ubugwenxa bethu; woziphosa ezinzulwini zolwandle zonke izono zabo.
7:20 Uya kumnika uYakobi inyaniso, umnike uAbraham inceba, owabafungela yona oobawo kususela kwimihla yamandulo.

1:1 Ingoma yazo iingoma, eyekaSolomon.
1:2 Makandange ngokwanga komlomo wakhe; Ngokuba izincokoliso zakho zimnandi ngaphezu kwewayini.
1:3 Amafutha akho anevumba elimnandi; Liyioli ethululwayo igama lakho; Ngenxa yoko iintombi ziyakuthanda.
1:4 Nditsale, sogidima emva kwakho; Ukuba ukumkani undingenise ezingontsini zakhe, Sogcoba, sivuye ngawe. Sozikhankanya izincokoliso zakho ngaphezu kwewayini; Zikuthanda zinyanisile.
1:5 Ndimnyama, ndinomkhitha noko, Zintombi zaseYerusalem, Njengeentente zakwaKedare, Njengamalengalenga kaSolomon.
1:6 Musani ukundikhangela ngakuba ndife mnyama, Ngakuba nditshe lilanga. Oonyana bakama bandivuthela ngomsindo, Bandenza umlindi wezidiliya; Ke esisesam isidiliya andisilindanga.
1:7 Khawundixilele, wena uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam, Walusela phi na? Uyibuthisa phi na imihlambi emini enkulu? Ngokuba kungani na ukuba ndibe njengogqubutheleyo Ngasemihlambini yamakholwane akho?
1:8 Ukuba akwazi, nzwakazindini phakathi kweentokazi, Phuma, uhambe ngemikhondo yomhlambi, Uwaluse amatakane akho ngaseminqubeni yabalusi.

2:2 Njengenyibiba phakathi kweminga, Unjalo uwethu phakathi kweentombi.
2:3 Njengomapile phakathi kwemithi yehlathi, Injalo intanda yam phakathi koonyana. Ndanqwena, ndahlala phantsi emthunzini wawo, Nesiqhamo sawo sanencasa ekhuhlangubeni lam.
2:4 Indingenise endlwini yewayini, Nebhanile yayo phezu kwam luthando.
2:5 Ndixhaseni ngezicumba zeerasintyisi, Ndisekeleni ngeeapile; ngokuba ndisifa luthando.
2:6 Isandla sayo sokhohlo siphantsi kwentloko yam; Esokunene siyandiwola.
2:7 Zintombi zaseYerusalem, ndinifungisa Amabhadikazi namaxhamakazi asendle, Ukuba ningaluvusi, ukuba ningaluvuseleli uthando, Lude luthande.
2:8 Phulaphulani! Intanda yam, nantso isiza, Itsiba ezintabeni, isuka imitsi ezindulini.
2:9 Intanda yam ifana nebhadi, nenkonyana yexhama. Nantso imi emva kodonga lwakokwethu, Ithe nzo ngeefestile, Inyondla ngekroba.
2:10 Intanda yam yasusela, yathi kum, Suk ume, wethu, nzwakazi yam, uze;
2:11 Ngokuba uyabona, ubusika budlule, Imvula igqithile yemka;
2:12 Iintyantyambo zibonakele ezweni; Ixesha lokuntyiloza kweentaka lifikile; Izwi lehobe ivakele ezweni lethu;
2:13 Umkhiwane ukrwala amakhiwane awo, Imidiliya ityatyambile, Itsho ngevumba elimnandi. Suk ume, wethu, nzwakazi yam, uze.
2:14 Vukuthu lam elisemxawukeni wengxondorha, entsithelweni yemiba, Ndibonise ubuso bakho, ndivise ilizwi lakho; Ngokuba izwi lakho limnandi, ubuso bakho bunomkhitha.
2:15 Sibambeleni iimpungutye, iimpungutye ezincinane ezonakalisa izidiliya; Izidiliya zethu zityatyambile.
2:16 Intanda yam yeyam, mna ke ndingowayo Yalusela ezinyibibeni.
2:17 Ide iphole imini, oluke amathunzi, Jika, ntanda yam, uxelise ibhadi, uxelise inkonyana yexhama, Ezintabeni ezibugqagala.
3:1 Esililini sam ebusuku ndamfuna lowo uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam; Ndamfuna andamfumana.
3:2 Ndathi, Ndokha ndivuke, ndijikajike phakathi komzi, Ezindaweni zembutho nasezitratweni; Ndiya kumfuna lowo uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam. Ndamfuna andamfumana.
3:3 Abalindi abajikajika phakathi komzi bandifumana; Ndathi kubo, Khe nambona na lowo uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam?
3:4 Ndithe ndisandula ukudlula kancinane kubo, Ndamlumana lowo uthandwayo ngumphefumlo wam; Ndambamba, andamyeka, Ndada ndamzisa endlwini kama, Engontsini yowandikhawulayo.
3:5 Zintombi zaseYerusalem, ndinifungisa Amabhadikazi namaxhamakazi asendle, Ukuba ningaluvusi, ukuba ningaluvuseleli uthando, Lude luthande.
3:6 Ngubani na lo, unyuka evela entlango njengemiqulu yomsi, Eqhunyiselwa ngemore nentlaka emhlophe, Ithatyathwe emigutyeni yonke yomrhwebi?
3:7 Yabona, sisingqengqelo sikaSolomon, Siphahlwe ngamagorha angamashumi amathandathu Kumagorha akwaSirayeli.
3:8 Onke aphethe amakrele, afundiswe ukulwa, Lilelo linekrele ethangeni lalo Ngenxa yokoyika ebusuku.
3:9 Ukumkani uSolomon uzenzele ithala Ngemithi yaseLebhanon.
3:10 Iintsika zalo uzenze ngesilivere, Isayamo salo ngegolide, umqamelo walo ngento emfusa, Umphakathi walo ubekelelwe ngothando, Luvela ezintombini zaseYerusalem.
3:11 Phumani, zintombi zaseZiyon, nimkhangele ukumkani uSolomon, Enesithsaba, awasinxitywa ngunina ngemini yokuzeka kwakhe, Nangemini yokuvuya kwentliziyo yakhe.
4:1 Yabona, uyinzwakazi, wethu; yabona, uyinzwakazi. Amehlo akho anjengawamavukuthu ngaphaya kwesigqubuthelo sakho; Iinwele zakho zinjengomhlambi weebhokhwe Osemathambekeni eentaba zaseGiliyadi.
4:2 Amazinyo akho anjengomhlambi weegusha ezichetyiweyo, Ezinyukayo zivela ekuhlanjweni, Zinamawele zonke, Kungekho ifelweyo kuzo.
4:3 Unjengosinga olubomvu umlomo wakho; Ukuthetha kwakho kumnandi. Zinjengothanda lwerharnate iintlafuno zakho Ngaphaya kwesigqubuthelo sakho.
4:4 Intamo yakho injengenqaba kaDavide, eyakhiwe ngokweendidi, Ekuxhonywe kuyo iwaka leengweletshetshe, Onke amakhaka amagorha.
4:5 Amabele akho omabini anjengamankonyana amabini angamawele ebhadi, Esidla phakathi kweenyibiba.
4:6 Ide iphole imini, oluke amathunzi, Ndiya kuhamba ndiye entabeni yemore, Nasendulini yentlaka emhlophe.
4:7 Uyinzwakazi kwaphela, wethu; Akukho siphako kuwe.
4:8 Yiza sihle eLebhanon, mtshakazi, Yiza sihle eLebhanon; Ufike ubonisele encotsheni yeAmana, Encotsheni yeSenire neHermon, Ezikhundleni zeengonyama, ezintabeni zezingwe.
4:9 Uyingxwelerhile intliziyo yam, dade wethu, mtshakazi; Uyingxwelerhile intliziyo yam ngomjezulo omnye, Ngamrhukane mnye wesambalo sakho.
4:10 Azi kuhle ukuncokolisa kwakho, dade wethu mtshakazi! Azi kumnandi ukuncokolisa kwakho ngaphezu kwewayini, Nevumba lamafutha akho ngaphezu kobulawu buphelele!
4:11 Umlomo wakho uvuza incindi, mtshakazi; Bubusi namasi ngaphantsi kolwimi lwakho. Ivumba leengubo zakho linjengevumba leLebhanon.
4:12 Ngumyezo obiyelweyo udade wethu, umtshakazi; Ngumgogogo ovaliweyo, liliso lomthombo elitywiniweyo.
4:13 Amahlumelo akho ngumyezo wemirharnate, kunye neziqhamo ezimnandi kakhulu, Ikofere kunye nenadusi;
4:14 Inadusi nesafron, Ikalamo nesinamon, kunye nemithi yonke yentlaka emhlophe, Imore nehaloti, kunye nobulawu bonke obuyintloko.
4:15 Uliliso lomthombo lasemiyezweni, Iqula lamanzi aphilileyo, Nemiqukuqela yamanzi yaseLebhanon.
4:16 Vuka, moya wasentla, uze nawe wasezantsi: Phephezela emyezweni wam, buqukuqele ubulawu bawo. Mayingene intanda yam emyezweni wayo, Idle isiqhamo esimnandi kakhulu.
5:1 Ndingenile emyezweni wam, dade wethu, mtshakazi wam; Ndiyikhile imore yam kunye netyeleba lam; Ndiyidlile intlango yam kunye nencindi yam; Ndiyisele iwayini yam kunye namasi am. Yidlani bethu, Selani nibe mnandi, zintanda.
5:2 Ndilele, yona intliziyo yam iphaphamile. Yiva, nantso intanda yam inkqonkqoza, isithi, Ndivulele, dade wethu, vukuthu lam, ngqibeleli yam, Ngokuba intloko yam izele ngumbethe, Isihlwitha sam sizele ngamathontsi obusuku.
5:3 Ndathi, Sendikhulule nengubo yam yangaphantsi; ndothini na ukubuya ndinxibe? Sendizihlambile iinyawo zam, ndothini na ukubuya ndizidyobhe?
5:4 Intanda yam yasolula isandla sayo ngekroba; Kwasika esiswini ngenxa yayo.
5:5 Ndavuka ndaya kuyivulela intanda yam, Nezandla zam zavuza imore; Neminwe yam, imore eyivuzelayo Esiphathweni sesitshixo.
5:6 Ndayivulela mna intanda yam; Ke yona intanda yam ibijike yemka. Ndemkelwa ngumbilini yakuthetha; Ndayifuna, andayifumana; Ndayibiza, ayasabela.
5:7 Bandifumana abalindi abajikajika phakathi komzi, Bandibetha, bandilimaza; Abalindi beendonga bandilulutha ingubo yam yokwaleka ekrelekrele.
5:8 Ndiyanifungisa, zintombi zaseYerusalem, ukuba nithe nayifumana intanda yam, Into enoyixelela yona, nothi, ndiyafa luthando.
5:9 Iyintoni na intanda yakho kunezinye iintanda, Wena nzwakazindini phakathi kweentokazi? Iyintoni na intanda yakho kunezinye, Ukuba wenjenje ukusifungisa?
5:10 Intanda yam iqaqambile, iyingqombela, Iyeyongamileyo ngaphezu kwamawaka alishumi.
5:11 Intloko yayo iyigolide engcwengiweyo, ecikizekileyo; Isihlwitha sayo siziinduli ngeenduli, simnyama njengehlungulu.
5:12 Amehlo ayo anjengawamavukuthu, engasemifuleni yamanzi, Ezihlamba ngamasi, ehleli njengamatye afakwe kakuhle.
5:13 Izidlele zayo zinjengemityino yetyeleba, njengeziganga zezityalo zokuqhola; Umlomo wayo unjengeenyibiba, uvuza imore ezivuzelayo.
5:14 Izandla zayo ziintonga zegolide, zifakwe amatye aseTarshishe, Isibili sayo siluphondo lwendlovu, lukrwilwe ngesafire.
5:15 Imilenze yayo ziintsika zemarmore emhlophe, zifakwe ezisekweni zegolide engcwengiweyo. Isithomo sayo sinjengeLebhanon, sisihle njengemisedare.
5:16 Ikhuhlangubo layo linobumnandi; inqwenelekile yona iphela. Yiyo leyo intanda yam; nguye lowo uwethu, Zintombi zaseYerusalem.
6:1 Iye phi na intanda yakho, Wena nzwakazindini phakathi kweentokazi? Ibheke ngaphi na intanda yakho, Ukuze sikufunise?
6:2 Intanda yam ihle yaya emyezweni wayo, emityinweni yetyeleba, Ukuba yalusele emyezweni, ukuba ikhe iinyibiba.
6:3 Mna ndingowentanda yam, nentanda yam yeyam yona; Yalusela ezinyibibeni.
6:4 Uyinzwakazi, wethu, njengeTirtsa, Unomkhitha njengeYerusalem; Woyikeka njengemikhosi eneebhanile.
6:5 Wasuse amehlo akho kum, Ngokuba andiqwelile. Iinwele zakho zinjengomhlambi weebhokhwe Ezisemathambekeni aseGiliyadi.
6:6 Amazinyo akho anjengomhlambi weemazi zeegusha Ezinyukayo, zivela ekuhlanjweni, Zonke zizele amawele, Kungekho ifelweyo kuzo.
6:7 Zinjengothanda lwerharnate iintlafuno zakho, Ngaphaya kwesigqubuthelo sakho.
6:8 Bangamashumi amathandathu ookumkanikazi, angamashumi asibhozo amashweshwe, Neentombi ezingenakubalwa.
6:9 Mnye yena olivukuthu lam oyingqibeleli yam; Mnye yena kunina, Umnyulwa walowo wamzalayo. Zambona iintombi, zathi unoyolo, Bamdumisa ookumkanikazi namashweshwe.
6:10 Ngubani na lo uthi gqi njengesifingo, Mhle njengenyanga, Unyulu njengelanga, Woyikeka njengemikhosi eneebhanile?
6:11 Bendihle ndaya emyezweni weminoti, Ukuba ndikhangele uhlaza lwesihlambo, Ndikhangele ukuba umdiliya unamathupha na, Imirharnate ityatyambile na.
6:12 Bendingazi ukuba umphefumlo wam undibeke Ezinqwelweni zabantu bam, zamanene.
6:13 Buya, buya, mShulamikazi; Buya, buya, sikubone. Nibona ntoni na kumShulamikazi, Njengokungathi kukuqamba kwabaMahanayim?
7:1 Azi kuhle ukunyathela kwakho ngeembadada, ntombi yenene! Izimbo zamanqe akho zinjengezidanga, Umsebenzi wezandla zengcibi.
7:2 Inkaba yakho sisidendeleko esiyinqila; Masingasweli iwayini ephithikeziweyo; Isisu sakho sisidimbilili sengqolowa, Sibiyelwe ngeenyibiba.
7:3 Amabele akho omabini anjengamankonyana ebhadi, Amankonyana amabini ebhadi, angamawele.
7:4 Intamo yakho injengenqaba yophondo lwendlovu; Amehlo akho ngamachibi aseHeshbhon, Ngasesangweni layo, inabantu abaninzi; Impumlo yakho injengenqaba yaseLebhanon Ebheke eDamasko.
7:5 Intloko yakho phezu kwakho injengeKarmele, Ubuyakayaka bentloko yakho bunjengosinga olumfusa; Ukumkani ukhonkxwe ngeenjiko zabo.
7:6 Azi umhle, azi umnandi, Luthando, eziyolweni!
7:7 Iwonga lakho eli lifana nomthi wesundu; Amabele akho afana nezihloko zomdiliya.
7:8 Ndathi, Ndiya kuminya emthini wesundu; Ndiya kubambelela emagqabini awo; Amabele akho makabe njengezihloko zomdiliya, Nevumba lempumlo yakho libe njengeeapile;
7:9 Nekhuhlangubo lakho libe njengewayini le ilungileyo, Ihla kamnandi kwintanda yam, Ibanga ukuba uthethe umlomo wabaleleyo.
7:10 Mna ndingowentanda yam, Kukum ukungxamela kwayo.
7:11 Hamba, ntanda yam, siphume siye emaphandleni, Silale emizaneni.
7:12 Masivuke kusasa, siye ezidiliyeni, Sibone ukuba umdiliya unamathupha na, iintyantyambo zawo zibhenqekile na, Imirharnate ityatyambile na. Ndokunika apho izincokoliso zam.
7:13 Amathuma apha anevumba; Phezu kweminyango yethu ziziqhamo ngeziqhamo ezimnandi kakhulu, ezitsha kwanezidala, Endiziqwebele wena, ntanda yam.
8:1 Akwaba ubunjengomnakwethu Obesanya amabele kama! Bendingathi, ndikufumene phandle, ndikwange, Bangandideli noko.
8:2 Bendiya kukuqhuba, bendiya kukusa endlwini kama; Ubuya kundifundisa. Bendiya kukuseza iwayini eqholiweyo, Nencindi yomrharnate wam.
8:3 Isandla sayo sokhohlo besiya kuba phantsi kwentloko yam, Esokunene sayo sindiwole.
8:4 Zintombi zaseYerusalem, ndiyanifungisa, Ningathini na ukuluvusa, ningathini na ukuluvuselela uthando, Lude luthande?
8:5 Ngubani na lo unyuka evela entlango, Esayama intanda yakhe? Ngaphantsi komapile lo ndakuvusa wena. Khona apha waba nenimba ngawe unyoko, Khona apha waba nenimba owakuzalayo.
8:6 Ndibeke njengomsesane wokutywina entliziyweni yakho, njengomsesane wokutywina engalweni yakho. Ngokuba uthando lunjengokufa, ukuba nengcwangu, Ubukhwele bunjengelabafileyo, ukuba lukhuni: Amalangatye abo ngamalangatye omlilo, Ngamadangatye kaYehova.
8:7 Amanzi amaninzi akanakulucima uthando; Imilambo ayinakuluntywilisela. Ingafanelana indoda irhole bonke ubuncwane bendlu yayo ngenxa yothando, Ingadelwa ideliwe.
8:8 Sinomsakwethu omncinane, Akakabi namabele. Siya kuthini na ngomsakwethu, Mini aganelweyo?
8:9 Ukuba uludonga yena, Siya kwakha phezu kwalo uqoqo lwesilivere; Ukuba ungumnyango, Somrhaqa ngamaceba omsedare.
8:10 Ndaba ludonga mna, namabele am anjengenqaba; Ndaza emehlweni ayo ndaba njengo fumene uxolo.
8:11 USolomon ubenesidiliya eBhahali-amon, Isidiliya wasinikela kubagcini, Ukuze elowo azise iwaka lesilivere ngesiqhamo saso.
8:12 Isidiliya sam, esisesam, sona siselulawulweni lwam; Iwaka elo lelakho, Solomon; Amakhulu amabini ngawabagcini besiqhamo saso.
8:13 Wena uhleliyo emiyezweni, Amakholwane alibazela indlebe izwi lakho, Ndivise.
8:14 Dloba, ntanda yam, Uxelise ibhadi namankonyana amaxhama Ezintabeni zobulawu.

2:5 Kuba kananjalo, njengoko naziyo, asizanga sibe nantetho yakucengacenga, namkhusane wakubawa, uThixo ulingqina;
2:6 singafuni nokufuna luzuko bantwini, nokuba kukuni, nokuba kukwabanye; nakuba besinokuba ngumthwalo ngokwabapostile bakaKristu.
2:7 Thina ke sisuke sathantamisa phakathi kwenu njengomdlezana osukuba ebagcinile abakhe abantwana;
2:8 ngokunjalo sinilangazelela nje, kwakholeka kuthi ukuba singaneli kunabela iindaba ezilungileyo zikaThixo nje kodwa, sinabele nobomi bethu, ngenxa enokuba naba ziintanda kuthi.

2:10 Ningamangqina nina kwanoThixo, ukuba saba njani na ukuba ngcwele, nokuba nobulungisa, nokungabi nakusoleka kuni bakholwayo;

2:15 wona ayibulalayo iNkosi uYesu kwanabawo abaprofeti, asitshutshisa nathi, engamkholosi uThixo, echasene nabantu bonke;
2:16 esalela thina ukuba sithethe kuzo iintlanga, ukuze zisindiswe, esenzela ukuba azalise izono zawo ngamaxesha onke. Iwafikele ke ingqumbo, kwada kwasekupheleni.
2:17 Thina ke, bazalwana, sanihluthwayo nje ixesha elifutshane ngesiqu, kungengantliziyo, sakhuthalela ngokugqithiseleyo ukububona ubuso benu, sinqwena kakhulu.
2:18 Kungoko sathandayo ukuza kuni, mna Pawulos lo, kwakanye nakabini; wesuka uSathana wasibambezela.
2:19 Kuba liyintoni na ithemba lethu, novuyo lwethu, nesithsaba sethu soqhayiso? Asinini aba na, phambi kweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu ekufikeni kwayo?
2:20 Inene, nini uzuko novuyo lwethu.
3:1 Kungoko kwathi, singasenakuzibamba, kwakholeka kuthi ukuba sisale eAtene sedwa.
3:2 Sathuma uTimoti, umzalwana wethu, umlungiseleli kaThixo, osebenza nathi ezindabeni ezilungileyo zikaKristu, ukuze anizimase, anivuselele ngenxa yokholo lwenu,
3:3 kungabikho namnye ushukunyiswayo zezi mbandezelo; kuba nisazi ngokwenu ukuba simiselwe zona.
3:4 Kuba xenikweni besikuni, sanixelela ngenxa engaphambili ukuba siza kubandezelwa; njengokuba kwaba njalo, nani niyazi.
3:5 Ngenxa yoko nam ndithe, ndingasenakuzibamba, ndathumela ukuba ndilwazi ukholo lwenu, hleze abe unihendile uMhendi, saba sifuma ne sabulaleka.
3:6 Ngoku ke uTimoti, efikile nje kuthi evela kuni, wasishumayeza iindaba ezilungileyo zokholo nezothando lwenu; nokuba nihlala ninokusikhumbula okuhle, nilangazelela ukusibona, kwanjengokuba nathi silangazelela ukunibona.
3:7 Ngenxa yoko sithuthuzelekile, bazalwana, nini, kuyo yonke imbandezelo nengxakeko yethu ngalo ukholo lwenu;
3:8 ngokuba ngoku siphilile, ukuba nina nithi nime eNkosini.
3:9 Kuba singambuyekeza ngambulelo mni na uThixo ngani, kulo lonke uvuyo esivuya ngalo ngenxa yenu phambi koThixo wethu,
3:10 ubusuku nemini sikhunga ngokugqithiseleyo kakhulu, ukuba sibubone ubuso benu, sikuzalise ukusilela kokholo lwenu?
3:11 Wanga ke uThixo ngokwakhe, uBawo wethu, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, angayilungisa indlela yethu yokuza kuni.
3:12 Yanga ke iNkosi inganandisa, inityebise eluthandweni, omnye komnye nakubo bonke, kwanjengokuba nathi sisenjenjalo kuni;
3:13 ukuze izizimase iintliziyo zenu, zingabi nakusoleka, zibe ngcwele phambi koThixo uBawo wethu, ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu nabo bonke abangcwele bayo.
4:1 Elokugqiba ngoko, bazalwana, siyanicela siniyala siseNkosini uYesu, ukuba nithi, njengokuba nakwamkelayo kuthi, okokuba nimelwe kukuthini na ukuhamba nokumkholisa uThixo, nikhule kuko ngakumbi.
4:2 Kuba niyazi ukuba zaba ziziyalo zini na, esaniyala ngazo ngeNkosi uYesu.
4:3 Kuba oku kukuthanda kukaThixo, ukungcwaliswa kwenu, ukuba nikhumke kulo uhenyuzo;
4:4 ukuba elowo kuni akwazi ukusizuza asiphathe esakhe isitya enobungcwalisa, enembeko;
4:5 angathabatheki yinkanuko, njengeentlanga ezingamaziyo uThixo;
4:6 ukuba kungabikho ugqithisayo, amlumkise umzalwana wakhe emcimbini lowo; ngenxa enokuba iNkosi ngumphindezeli wazo zonke ezi zinto, njengoko sasinixelele ngenxa engaphambili, saniqononondisa.
4:7 Kuba uThixo akasibizelanga ekungcoleni; usibizele ebungcwaliseni.
4:8 Ngako oko ke lowo ugibayo, akagibi mntu, ugiba uThixo, owasinikayo nokusinika uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele.
4:9 Ke kaloku, ngalo uthando lobuzalwana, akufuneki ukuba ndinibhalele; kuba nina ngokwenu ningabafundiswe nguThixo ukuba nithandane;
4:10 kuba okunene niyakwenza oko kubo bonke abazalwana abakwelaseMakedoni liphela. Siyanivuselela ke, bazalwana, ukuba nikhule kuko oko ngakumbi;
4:11 nokuba nizondelele ukuba nizole, nenze ezenu izinto, nisebenze ngezenu izandla, njengoko saniyalayo;
4:12 ukuze nihambe ngokuzibekileyo ngakwabo bangaphandle, ningasweli nto.
4:13 Ke kaloku andithandi ukuba ningazi, bazalwana, mayela nabalele ukufa, ukuze ningabi buhlungu njengabanye abangenathemba bona.
4:14 Kuba xa sikholwa ukuba uYesu wafa, wabuya wavuka, kwangokunjalo naye uThixo woza nabo abalele ukufa ngaye uYesu, kunye naye.
4:15 Kuba oku siyakutsho kuni ngelizwi leNkosi ukuthi, thina babudlayo ubomi, baya kuba besekho ekufikeni kweNkosi, asisayi kubaphangela abalele ukufa.
4:16 Ngokuba iNkosi ngokwayo iya kuhla emazulwini inendanduluko, inelizwi lesiphatha-zithunywa, inexilongo likaThixo, baze abafele kuKristu bavuke kuqala;
4:17 sandule thina babudlayo ubomi, basaseleyo, sixwilelwe emafini kwakunye nabo, siye kuyikhawulela iNkosi esibhakabhakeni; size ngokunjalo sihlale sihleli, sindawonye neNkosi.
4:18 Ngoko ke thuthuzelanani ngala mazwi.
5:1 Ke kaloku ngawo amaxesha namathuba, bazalwana, akufuneki nganto ukuba ndinibhalele;
5:2 kuba nani ngokwenu niyazi ngokucacileyo, ukuba imini yeNkosi, njengesela ebusuku, yenjenjalo ukuza kwayo.
5:3 Kuba xenikweni baya kuthi, Luxolo nokunqaba, oko baya kufikelwa yintshabalaliso ngebhaqo, kwanjengenimba komithiyo; baye bengayi kukha basinde.
5:4 Ke nina, bazalwana, anisebumnyameni, ukuba imini leyo iniqubule njengesela.
5:5 Nonke nina ningabokukhanya, abemini; asingabobusuku, asingabobumnyama.
5:6 Ngoko ke masingalali, njengabanye aba; masiphaphe sibe ziingcathu.
5:7 Kuba abaleleyo balala ebusuku; nabanxilayo banxila ebusuku.
5:8 Ke thina bangabemini masibe ziingcathu; masinxibe isigcina-sifuba sokholo nothando, nesigcina-ntloko esilithemba losindiso.
5:9 Ngokuba uThixo akasimiselanga ngqumbo; usimisele ukuzuza usindiso ngayo iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu;
5:10 owasifelayo, ukuze nokuba sihleli, nokuba silele, sidle ubomi kwakunye naye.
5:11 Kungoko ndithi, Thuthuzelanani, nakhane, kwanjengokuba nisenjenjalo.
5:12 Ke kaloku siyanicela, bazalwana, ukuba nibazi ababulalekayo phakathi kwenu, abanongamelayo eNkosini, abanilulekayo,
5:13 nibabeke ngokugqithiseleyo kakhulu ukubathanda, ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo. Hlalani ninoxolo phakathi kwenu.
5:14 Siyanivuselela ke, bazalwana, balulekeni abanxaxhayo; bakhuzeni abamxhelo mncinane; basekeleni abathambileyo; yibani nokuzeka kade umsindo kubantu bonke.
5:15 Lumkani, kungabikho bani ubuyekeza ububi ngobubi nakubani; hlalani niphuthuma okulungileyo omnye komnye, nakubantu bonke.
5:16 Hlalani nivuya.
5:17 Thandazani ningayeki.
5:18 Ezintweni zonke bulelani; kuba oko kukuthanda kukaThixo kuKristu Yesu ngani.
5:19 UMoya musani ukumcima.
5:20 Iziprofeto musani ukuzenza into engento.
5:21 Izinto zonke zicikideni, nibambe leyo intle.
5:22 Khumkani kuzo zonke iintlobo zenkohlakalo.
5:23 Wanga ke uThixo woxolo ngokwakhe anganingcwalisa niphelelisekile; uthi, ugqibelele owenu umoya nomphefumlo nomzimba, ugcinwe ngokungenakusoleka ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.
5:24 Uthembekile onibizayo, oya kukwenza nokukwenza oko.
5:25 Bazalwana, sithandazeleni.
5:26 Babuliseni abazalwana bonke ngolwango olungcwele.
5:27 Ndiyanifungisa iNkosi ukuba le ncwadi ileswe kubo bonke abazalwana abangcwele.
5:28 Ubabalo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu malube nani. Amen.
