Isahluko 46

UBeli uyaguqa, uNebo uyakhothama; izithombe zabo zingezezilwane nezezinkomo; enibathweleyo bangumthwalo, banzima ezilwaneni eziyethileyo.
2 Ziyakhothama, ziguqa kanyekanye, azinakuwukhulula umthwalo; nabo uqobo baya ekuthunjweni.
3 “Ngilalele wena ndlu kaJakobe, yonke insali yendlu yakwa-Israyeli engiyithwesiweyo kwasesiswini, yabekwa phezu kwami kwasesizalweni.
4 Noze niguge, nginguye, yebo, noze nibe yizimpunga, ngiyakunithwala; ngikwenzile lokhu, futhi ngiyakunetshatha, yebo, ngiyakunithwala, nginikhulule.
5 “Niyakungifanisa, ningilinganise nobani, ningiqathanise nobani ukuba sifanane na?
6 Abathulula igolide esikhwameni yini, balinganise isiliva esilinganisweni, baqashe umkhandi wesiliva ukuba enze unkulunkulu, bese bekhothama, bakhuleke, na?
7 Bamthwala ehlombe, bametshathe, bambeke endaweni yakhe ukuba eme khona, angabe esasuka endaweni yakhe; kepha uma umuntu ekhala kuye, akayikumphendula, angamsindisi osizini lwakhe.
8 “Khumbulani lokhu, nime niqinile, nibuye nicabange ezinhliziyweni zenu nina benzi bokubi.
9 Khumbulani izinto zakuqala zamandulo, ngokuba nginguNkulunkulu, akakho omunye, yebo, nginguNkulunkulu, akakho onjengami,
10 engimemezela ngaphambili okuyakuza, nasendulo izinto ezingakenziwa, ngokuthi: Icebo lami liyakuma, ngiyakwenza yonke intando yami,
11 mina engibiza inqe empumalanga nomuntu wecebo lami ezweni elikude; yebo, ngikhulumile, ngiyakukufikisa; nginqumile, ngiyakukwenza.
12 Ngilaleleni nina enilukhuni ngenhliziyo, enikude nokulunga.
13 Ngiyakusondeza ukulunga kwami, akukude, insindiso yami ayiyikulibala; ngibeka insindiso eSiyoni nodumo lwami kwa-Israyeli.
