Chapter 9
1 Ndayibona iNkosi imi ngasesibingeleweni. Yathi, Zibethe iinqanam, inyikime imigubasi yomnyango, uziqobe ezo zinto, ziwe entlokweni yabo bonke bephela, ndibabulale abokugqibela babo ngekrele. Osabayo kubo akasayi kusinda, angasindi nokuzisindisa kubo.
2 Ukuba bathe bagqobhozela elabafileyo, sobathabatha nakhona isandla sam; nokuba bathe benyuka baya ezulwini, ndobahlisa nakhona.
3 Nokuba bathe bazimela encotsheni yeKarmele, ndofuna, ndibathabathe nalapho; nokuba bathe bazisithelisa phambi kwamehlo am emazantsi olwandle, ndoyiwisela umthetho nalapho inyoka, ibalume.
4 Nokuba bathe bathinjwa phambi kweentshaba zabo, ndoliwisela umthetho nalapho ikrele, libabulale, ndiwamise kubo amehlo am, ukuba kube kubi, kungalungi.
5 INkosi uYehova wemikhosi ngulophatha ilizwe, linyibilike, benze isijwili bonke abemiyo kulo; linyuke lonke liphela njengoMnayile, libuye liwuthe njengoMnayile waseYiputa;
6 ngulowakhela emazulwini amagumbi akhe aphezulu, nophahla lwawo alusekele phezu kwehlabathi; ngulobiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu kwehlabathi: nguYehova igama lakhe.
7 Aninjengoonyana bamaKushi na kum, nina nyana bakaSirayeli? utsho uYehova. Andiwanyusanga na amaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa, amaFilisti eKafetori, ama-Aram eKire?
8 Yabonani, amehlo eNkosi uYehova asebukumkanini obonayo, ndibutshabalalise, bungabikho phezu komhlaba; kodwa andiyi kuyitshabalalisa iphele indlu kaYakobi; utsho uYehova.
9 Ngokuba, yabonani, ndiwisa umthetho, ndiyihlungule indlu kaSirayeli ezintlangeni zonke, njengoko kuhlungulwa ingqolowa ngesihlungulo, kungawi nokhozo emhlabeni.
10 Baya kufa ngekrele bonke aboni babantu bam; abo bathi, Abuyi kusifumana, abuyi kusithintela ububi.
11 Ngaloo mini ndiya kuwuvusa umnquba kaDavide, lowo uwileyo, ndizivingce iintanda zawo, ndizivuse iindawo zawo ezigungxulweyo, ndiwakhe ube njengokwemihla yamandulo;
12 ukuze bawathimbe amasalela akwaEdom, neentlanga zonke, ezibizwa ngegama lam; utsho uYehova okwenzayo oku.
13 Yabonani, kuza imihla, utsho uYehova, aya kuthi afumanane umlimi nomvuni, umxovuli weediliya afumanane nomhlwayeli wembewu; iintaba zivuze incindi yeediliya, neenduli zonke zinyibilike.
14 Ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwabantu bam amaSirayeli, bayakhe imizi engamanxuwa, bayihlale, batyale izidiliya, basele iwayini yazo, benze imiyezo, badle iziqhamo zayo.
15 Ndobatyala emhlabeni wabo, bangabi sanyothulwa emhlabeni wabo endabanikayo; utsho uYehova uThixo wakho.
