UAMOSE 5

₂Iwile intombi yakwaIsrayeli, ayisayikuvuka;

iphonsiwe phansi, akakho ongayivusa.

₃Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi:

Umuzi owaphuma uyinkulungwane uyakushiya ikhulu,

nowaphuma uyikhulu uyakushiya ishumi kuyo indlu yakwaIsrayeli.

Ngifuneni, niphile.

₅Kepha ningalifuni iBethele,

ningangeni eGiligali,

ningadluleli eBeri-Sheba,

ngokuba iGiligali liyakuthunjwa nokuthunjwa,

neBethele liyakuba-yize.

₆Funani uJehova, niphile,

funa afikele indlu kaJosefa njengomlilo,

udle, kungekho owucimayo eBethele,

₇nina enihlanekezela ukwahlulela kube-ngumhlonyane,

nilahle phansi ukulunga;

₈nimfune owenza isiLimela neMpambano,

ophendula ithunzi lokufa libe-ngukusa,

ayenze imini ibe-mnyama njengobusuku,

obiza amanzi olwandle,

awathululele ebusweni bomhlaba —

nguJehova igama lakhe —

₉owenza ukuchitha ukuba kunyazime phezu kwabanamandla,

nencithakalo ukuba yehlele izinqaba.

₁₀Bayamzonda ofakazela ukulunga esangweni;

okhuluma ubuqotho banengwa nguye.

₁₁Ngalokho, ngokuba ninyathela abampofu,

namukele kuye isipho samabele,

noma nakha izindlu ngamatshe abaziweyo

aniyikuhlala kuzo,

nokuba nitshala izivini ezinhle

aniyikuphuza iwayini lazo.

₁₂Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi iziphambeko zenu ziningi

nokuthi izono zenu zinkulu,

nina enicindezela abalungileyo, namukela umvuzo,

nenichezukisa abampofu esangweni.

₁₃Ngalokho ohlakaniphileyo uyakuthula ngalesosikhathi,

ngokuba kuyisikhathi esibi lesi.

₁₄Funani okuhle, hayi okubi,

ukuze niphile,

abe-nani uJehova uNkulunkulu-Sebawoti kanjalo,

njengalokhu nisho.

₁₅Zondani okubi, nithande okuhle,

nimise ukwahlulela esangweni;

mhlawumbe uJehova uNkulunkulu-Sebawoti uyakuba-nomusa

kuyo insali yakwaJosefa.

Ezigcawini zonke kuyakuba-khona ukukhala,

nakuzo zonke izitaladi bayakusho ukuthi: Maye, maye!

babize umlimi ukuba akhale,

nabaziyo izililo ukuba balile;

₁₇nakuzo zonke izivini kuyakuba-khona ukukhala,

ngokuba ngiyakudlula phakathi kwakho, usho uJehova.

₁₈Wo kinina enifisa usuku lukaJehova!

Luyakunisizani usuku lukaJehova?

Lungubumnyama, alusikho ukukhanya.

₁₉Kunjengalokhu umuntu ebalekela ingonyama,

kuhlangane naye ibhere*,

noma engena endlini

encike ngesandla odongeni,

alunywe yinyoka.

₂₀Lungubumnyama usuku lukaJehova, alusikho ukukhanya,

nesigayegaye okungekho kuso ukukhazimula.

₂₁Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayidelela imikhosi yenu,

angenameli imihlangano yenu.

₂₂Noma ninikela kimi ngeminikelo yenu yokushiswa kanye neminikelo yenu yempuphu,

angiyenameli,

futhi angibheki iminikelo yenu yokubonga yamathole akhuluphalisiweyo.

₂₃Susa kimi umsindo wezihlabelelo zakho,

angiyikuzwa imvunge yezingubhu zakho.

₂₄Kepha ukwahlulela makugobhoze njengamanzi,

nokulunga njengomfula onganqamukiyo.

₂₅Naletha kimi imihlatshelo neminikelo yempuphu ehlane

iminyaka engamashumi amane, ninandlu kaIsrayeli, na?

₂₆Seniyakuthwala uSakuti inkosi yenu

noKhewani inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu,

izithombe zenu enizenzele zona.

₂₇Ngiyakunenza ukuba nithunjelwe ngaphesheya kweDamaseku,

usho uJehova ogama lakhe linguNkulunkulu-Sebawoti.
