Yobhi 33:1-33
33 “Noko ke, khawuncede uve ngoku amazwi am, Yobhi,Uze ukubekele indlebe konke ukuthetha kwam.
2 Nceda, khangela! Ndimele ndiwuvule umlomo wam;Ulwimi lwam nenkalakahla yam+ zimele zithethe.
3 Amazwi am kukuthi tye kwentliziyo yam,+Nemilebe yam ithetha ulwazi ngokunyaniseka.+
4 Ndenziwa ngumoya kaThixo,+Nempefumlo kaSomandla yandidlisa ubomi.+
5 Ukuba unako, ndiphendule,Bhekisa amazwi kum; yima endaweni yakho.
6 Khangela! Ndiyiloo nto uyiyo nam kuThixo oyinyaniso;+Nam, ndabunjwa ngodongwe.+
7 Khangela! Akukho nto yothusayo kum iya kukunkwantyisa,Yaye akukho ngcinezelo+ yam iya kuba nzima kuwe.
8 Kuphela nje uthethe ezindlebeni zam,Nesandi samazwi akho ndaqhubeka ndisiva,
9 ‘Ndimsulwa andinakunxaxha;+Ndihlambulukile, yaye andinasiphoso.+
10 Khangela! Ufumana amathuba okuchasana nam,Undithabatha njengotshaba lwakhe.+
11 Iinyawo zam uzifaka ezitokisini,+Ulinda zonke iindlela zam.’+
12 Khangela! Koku ubungachananga,+ ndiyakuphendula;Kuba uThixo ungaphezulu komntu ofayo.+
13 Kutheni ukuze usukuzane naye,+Kuba onke amazwi akho akawaphenduli?+
14 Kuba uThixo uthetha kube kanye,Nakabini+—Nangona ubani engakunikeli ngqalelo oko—
15 Ephupheni,+ embonweni+ wasebusuku,Xa abantu befikelwe bubuthongo obunzulu,Xa besozela emandlalweni.+
16 Uyityhila ngoko indlebe yabantu,+Yaye ubeka itywina lakhe ekubabongozeni,
17 Ukujika umntu esenzweni sakhe,+Nokuze agubungele ikratshi+ kwindoda eyomeleleyo.
18 Uyawunqanda umphefumlo wayo ungayi emhadini+Nobomi bayo bungadluli ngomjukujelwa.+
19 Eneneni yohlwaywa ngeentlungu emandlalweni wayo,Nokuxabana kwamathambo ayo kuyaqhubeka.
20 Ubomi bayo ngokuqinisekileyo benza isonka sibe nezothe,+Nomphefumlo wayo ukudla okunqwenelekayo.
21 Inyama yayo iyanyamalala,Namathambo ayo abengabonwa ngokuqinisekileyo ayatyhileka.
22 Yaye umphefumlo wayo usondela emhadini,+Nobomi bayo kwabo babangela ukufa.
23 Ukuba inomthunywa,Lowo uyithethelayo, omnye kwabaliwaka,Ukuze axelele umntu ukuthi tye kwakhe,
24 Wandula ke akholiswe nguye aze athi,‘Mkhulule angehli aye emhadini!+Ndifumene intlawulelo!+
25 Inyama yakhe mayihlaziyeke ngakumbi kunasebutsheni;+Makabuyele emihleni yamandla obutsha bakhe.’+
26 Uya kumbongoza uThixo ukuba akholiswe nguye,+Yaye uya kububona ubuso bakhe ngemikhwazo yovuyo,Abubuyisele ubulungisa Bakhe kumntu ofayo.
27 Uya kuvumela abantu athi,‘Ndonile;+ ndaza okuthe tye ndakugqwetha,Yaye ngokuqinisekileyo bekungeyonto ifanelekileyo ngam.
28 Uwukhulule umphefumlo wam ekudluleleni emhadini,+Yaye ubomi bam buya kukubona ukukhanya.’
29 Khangela! UThixo uyazenza zonke ezi zinto,Izihlandlo ezibini, izihlandlo ezithathu, kwimeko yendoda eyomeleleyo,
30 Ukuze abuyise umphefumlo wayo emhadini,+Ukuze akhanyiselwe ngokukhanya kwabo baphilayo.+
31 Nikela ingqalelo, Owu Yobhi! Ndiphulaphule!Yithi cwaka, yaye mna ndiza kuqhubeka ndithetha.
32 Ukuba kukho nawaphi na amazwi okuthetha, ndiphendule;Thetha, ngokuba ndiyayoliswa bubulungisa bakho.
33 Ukuba akakho, ndiphulaphule;+Yithi cwaka, mna ndiza kukufundisa ubulumko.”
