18Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi: 2 Litshoni, ukuthi lisebenzise lesisaga ngelizwe lakoIsrayelia, lisithi: Oyise badlile izithelo zevini ezimunyub, lamazinyo abantwana asetshelelac? 3 Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehovad, isibili kakusayikuba kini ukusebenzisa lesisaga koIsrayelie. 4 Khangela, yonke imiphefumulo ngeyami; njengomphefumulo kayise, unjalo lomphefumulo wendodana, kungokwami. Umphefumulo owonayo, wona uzakufaf.

5 Kodwa uba umuntu elungile, enze ukwahlulela lokulungag, 6 engadleli phezu kwezintabah, engaphakamiseli amehlo akhe ezithombeni zendlu yakoIsrayelii, engangcolisi umfazi kamakhelwane wakhej, engasondelik kowesifazana osemfulenil, 7 engacindezeli muntum, ebuyisela kowebolekayo isibambiso sakhen, engaphangi impangoo, enika olambileyo isinkwa sakhep, esembesa oze ngesembathoq r, 8 enganikis ngenzuzot, engathathiu okwengezelelweyov, ebuyisa isandla sakhe esiphambekweni, esenza isahlulelo esiqinisileyo phakathi komuntu lomuntuw, 9 ehamba ngezimiso zami, egcina izahlulelo zami, ukwenza iqinisox; yena uqondile, uzaphila isibili, itsho iNkosi uJehovay.

10 Uba ezala indodana engumphangi, umchithi wegazi, lowenza okufanana lokunye kwalezizintoz, 11 longenzi zonke lezozinto, kodwa ngitsho edlela phezu kwezintabaa, engcolisa umfazi womakhelwane wakheb, 12 ecindezela umyanga loswelayoc d, ephanga impangoe f, engabuyiselanga isibambisog, ephakamisele amehlo akhe ezithombenih, enze okunengekayoi, 13 enika ngenzuzo, athathe ngokwengezelelweyo, uzaphila yini? Kayikuphila; wenze zonke lezizinengiso; uzakufa lokufaj, amacala akhe egazi azakuba phezu kwakhek.

14 Khangela-ke, uzala indodana ebona zonke izono zikayise azenzileyo, ibona, ingenzi njengalezizintol, 15 ingadleli phezu kwezintabam, ingaphakamiseli amehlo ayo ezithombeni zendlu yakoIsrayelin, ingangcolisi umfazi womakhelwane wayoo, 16 ingacindezeli muntup, ingagodli isibambisoq, ingaphangi impangor, isipha olambileyos isinkwa sayo, yembese oze ngesembathot, 17 isuse isandla sayo kongumyangau, ingemukeli inzuzo lokwengezelelweyov, isenza izahlulelo zami, ihambe ngezimiso zami, yona kayiyikufela isiphambeko sikayisew, izaphila isibilix. 18 Uyise, ngoba ecindezele ngocindezeloy, waphanga impango kumfowaboz a, wenza okungalunganga phakathi kwabantu bakibo, khangela-ke, uzafela ebubini bakheb.

19 Kanti lithi: Kungani indodana ingathwali isiphambeko sikayisec? Nxa indodana yenzile isahlulelo lokulungad, igcinile zonke izimiso zami, yazenzae, izaphila isibilif. 20 Umphefumulo owonayo, wona uzakufag. Indodana kayiyikuthwala isiphambeko sikayise, loyise kayikuthwala isiphambeko sendodanah. Ukulunga kolungileyo kuzakuba phezu kwakhei, lenkohlakalo yokhohlakeleyo izakuba phezu kwakhej k.

21 Kodwa uba omubi ephenduka ezonweni zakhe zonke azenzileyol, agcine zonke izimiso zamim, enze isahlulelo lokulungan, uzaphila isibili, kayikufao. 22 Iziphambeko zakhe zonke azenzileyo kaziyikukhunjulelwa kuye; ekulungeni kwakhe akwenzileyo, uzaphilap. 23 Ngiyathokoza lokuthokoza ngokufa kokhohlakeleyo yini? itsho iNkosi uJehova; kakusikuthi aphenduke ezindleleni zakhe, aphile yiniq?

24 Kodwa nxa olungileyo ephenduka ekulungeni kwakhe, esenza isiphambeko, enze njengokwezinengiso zonke azenzayo omubi, uzaphila yinir? Ukulunga kwakhe konke akwenzileyo kakuyikukhunjulwas t; esiphambekweni sakhe aphambeke ngaso, lesonweni sakhe asonileyo, uzafela kikhou.

25 Kanti lithi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani. Zwanini-ke, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli; indlela yami kayilingani yini? Kayisizo yini izindlela zenu ezingalinganiyov? 26 Lapho olungileyo ephenduka ekulungeni kwakhe, enze iziphambeko, afele kuzo, eziphambekweni azenzileyo uzakufaw. 27 Futhi nxa omubi ephenduka ebubini bakhe abenzileyox, enze isahlulelo lokulunga, yena uzagcina umphefumulo wakhe uphilay. 28 Ngoba ebona, ephenduka kuzo zonke iziphambeko zakhe azenzileyoz, uzaphila isibili, kayikufaa. 29 Kanti indlu kaIsrayeli ithi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani. Wena ndlu kaIsrayeli, indlela zami kazilingani yini? Kayisizo yini indlela zenu ezingalinganiyob?

30 Ngakho ngizalahlulela, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, ngulowo lalowo njengokwendlela zakhe, itsho iNkosi uJehovac. Phendukanid, libuye lisuke eziphambekweni zenu zonkee; ukuze ububi bungabi yisikhubekiso kinif. 31 Lahlani lisuse kini zonke iziphambeko zenu eliphambeke ngazog, lizenzele inhliziyo entsha lomoya omutshah; ngoba lizafelani, lina ndlu kaIsrayelii? 32 Ngoba kangithokozi ngokufa kofayo, itsho iNkosi uJehovaj; ngakho phendukani liphilek.
