26 Ngelangelo ingoma le izokubhinwa+ enarheni yakwaJuda:+
“Sinedorobho eliqinileko.+
Wenza* isindiso ibe mabodalo neendunduma zalo.+
2 Vula amasango+ bona isitjhaba esilungileko singene,Isitjhaba esiziphatha ngokuthembeka.
3 Uzokuvikela labo abathembele kuwe;*
Uzobapha ukuthula okungapheliko,+Ngombana bathembele kuwe.+
4 Thembelani kuJehova ngokungapheliko,+Ngombana uJah* uJehova uliDwala ngokungapheliko.+
5 Ngombana wehlisa labo abahlala endaweni ephakemeko, edorobheni eliphakemeko.
Uyaligiriza,Uligirizela phasi ephasini;Uliphosa phasi ethulini.
6 Iinyawo zizoligadanga,Iinyawo zabatlhagako, iinyawo zabadududu.”
7 Indlela yolungileko ilungile.*
Ngombana ulungile,Uzokwenza indlela olungileko aphila ngayo itjhelele.
8 Njengombana silandela izahlulelo zakho Jehova,Sithembele kuwe.
Silulukela igama lakho* nesikhumbuzo sakho.*
9 Ebusuku ngikululukela ngomphefumulwami woke,Ummoyami usolo ufuna wena;+Ngombana nawahlulela iphasi,Izakhamuzi zenarheni zifunda ngokulunga.+
10 Ngitjho nanyana okhohlakeleko angaphathwa ngomusa,Angekhe afunde ukwenza okulungileko.+
Ngitjho nenarheni yokulunga uzokwenza ngokukhohlakala,+Begodu angekhe abone ubukhosi bakaJehova.+
11 Maye! Jehova isandla sakho siphakanyisiwe kodwana abasiboni.+
Bazokubona indlela othanda ngayo abantu bakho begodu bazokuhlaziswa.
Umlilwakho uzokurhiribidela amanabakho.
12 Maye! Jehova uzosipha ukuthula,+Ngombana koke esikwenzilekoUsenzele khona.
13 Maye! Jehova Zimethu, amanye amakhosi ngaphandle kwakho asibusile,+Kodwana thina sikhuluma ngegama lakho kwaphela.+
14 Ahlongakele awasaphili.
Awanamandla ekufeni, angeze asavuka.+
Ngombana uwahluleleBona uwatjhabalalise nokuthi abantu bangasawakhumbula.
15 Wandise isitjhaba Jehova,Wandise isitjhaba;Uziphazimulisile.+
Ulule yoke imikhawulo yenarha yaba mikhulu.+
16 Maye! Jehova nabagandelelekileko beza kuwe;Bathandaza ngetjiseko lokha nawubakhalimako.+
17 Njengombana umfazi osidisi osele azokubelethaAba neenhlungu zokubeletha begodu alila ngebanga leenhlungu,Besinjalo ngebanga lakho Jehova.
18 Sibe sidisi, saba neenhlungu zokubeletha,Kodwana kunjengokungathi sibelethe umoya.
Akhenge silethe isindiso enarheni,Begodu akunamuntu obelethiweko bona ahlale enarheni.
19 Abahlongakeleko bakho bazokuphila.
Iindumbu zami zizokuvuka.+
Vukani, nirhuwelele ngethabo,Nina zakhamuzi ezisethulini!+
Ngombana umbethakho unjengombethe wekuseni,*
Begodu iphasi lizokuvumela labo abanganamandla ekufeni bona baphile.
20 Khambani bantu bami ningene ngeenkumbeni zenu zangaphakathi,Bese nivale iminyango ngemva kwenu.+
Zifihleni isikhatjhanaBekube kulapho ilaka lidlulile.+
21 Ngombana qala uJehova uyeza usuka endawenakheBona abize izakhamuzi zenarha ukuthi zilandise ngomtjhaphwazo,Begodu inarha izokwambula ukuphalaza kwayo iingaziAngeze isagubuzesa ababuleweko bayo.”
