INkosi inguNkulunkulu yodwa

44Kodwa khathesi zwana, Jakobe nceku yamia, lawe Israyelib engikukhethileyo. 2 Itsho njalo INkosi umenzi wakhoc lombumbi wakho kusukela esiswinid, ezakusiza: Ungesabie, Jakobe, nceku yamif, lawe Jeshurunig engikukhethileyoh. 3 Ngoba ngizathela amanzii phezu kwakhe owomileyo, lezikhukhula emhlabathini owomileyo; ngizathela umoya wamij phezu kwenzalo yakho, lesibusiso sami phezu kwembewu yakhok. 4 Bazahluma phakathi kotshanil, njengeminyezanem ngasezifuleni zamanzin. 5 Omunye uzakuthi: Mina ngingoweNkosi; lomunye azibize ngebizo likaJakobe, lomunye abhale esandleni sakheo ukuthi: NgingoweNkosi; azibonge ngebizo likaIsrayelip.

6 Utsho njalo uJehova, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, loMhlengi wakheq, iNkosi yamabandla: Ngingowokuqala njalo ngingowokucinar; njalo ngaphandle kwami kakho uNkulunkulus. 7 Njalo ngubani ongabiza njengamit, akumemezele, angihlelele khona, kusukela ngimisau abantu bendulo? Lezinto ezizayov, lezizakuza, kabazimemezele kubo. 8 Lingatshaywa luvalo, lingesabi; kangikuzwisanga yiniw kusukela ngalesosikhathix, ngakumemezela? Njalo lina lingabafakazi bamiy. Kukhona yini uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwamizab? Yebo, kalikho elinye iDwalac; kangilazi.

Ngizakhothamela okwesihlahlas yini? 20 Udla umlothat; inhliziyo ekhohlisiweyou imphambule, okokuthi angekhulule umphefumulo wakhe njalo kathi: Kakulamanga yini esandleni sami sokunenev? 21 Khumbula lezizinto, Jakobe, lawe Israyeli, ngoba uyinceku yamiw; ngikubumbile, uyinceku yamix. Wena Israyeli, kawuyikukhohlwa yimi. 22 Ngesuley iziphambeko zakho njengeyezi elinzimaz, lanjengeyezi izono zakho; buyela kimi, ngoba ngikuhlengilea.
