UMIKA 2
Isohlwayo sokunyoluka nengcinezelo
1Athi ke, abo bacinga ubutshinga, basebènze ububi ezililini zabo! abathi ekukhanyeni kwengomso babenze, ngokuba isandla sabo singuthixo wabo. 2Banqwenela amasimi, bawahluthe; kwanezindlu, bazithabathe; bacudisa umfo nendlu yakhe, indoda nelifa layo.
3Ngako oko utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndicinga ububi ngale mizalwane, eningayi kuzirhola iintamo zenu kubo, ningahambi niqhankqalaza; kuba lixesha lobubi. 4Ngaloo mini kuya kwenziwa umzekeliso ngani, bameme isimema, kuthiwe, Kwenzekile; sìbhuqiwe sabhuqwa. Isahlulo sabantu bakowethu usananisile; hayi, ukusísusa kwakhe kum! amasimi ethu úwabela amaphamba. 5Ngako oko akuyi kuba naye okuphosela ulutya kwiqashiso ebandleni likaYehova. 6Bathi, Musani ukuwisa intetho, bewisa intetho; ukuba àbathe bawisa intetho kubo abo, akayi kubuya umva amahlazo.
7Wena kùthiwa ùyindlu kaYakobi, úyazekaneka na uMoya kaYehova? kukwenza kwakhe na oku? Akalungisi na amazwi am kohamba ngokuthe tye? 8Izolo eli abantu bam basuke ngokotshaba; nibahluba ingubo ende yokwaleka kwengaphantsi, ábadlula bekholosile, bengathandi kulwa. 9Abafazi babantu bam niyabagxotha ezindlwini zeziyolo zabo; ebantwaneni babo nizithabathile izivatho zam ngonaphakade. 10Sukani, nihambe; kuba asiyiyo indawo yokuphumla kwenu le; ngenxa yobunqambi bayo obonákalisayo, obonákalisayo kakhulu. 11Ukuba bekukho umntu ohamba nomoya, exokisa ngamanga, esithi, Ndiya kuwisa intetho kuwe ngokusingisele kwiwayini, nakwisiselo esinxilisayo, ubeya kuba ngumwisi-ntetho kwaba bantu.
Ukubuyiswa kwamasalela
12Ndiya 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. 13Únyuké phambi kwabo umgqobhozi; bayagqobhoza, bayangena esangweni, bayaphuma kwangalo; ukumkani wabo uhamba phambi kwabo, uYehova esentloko kubo.
