IHubo 49:1-20
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo lamadodana kaKhora.+
49 Zwanini lokhu, lonke lina bantu.
Lalelani lonke lina elihlala emhlabeni,
2 Abancane labakhulu,Abanothileyo labayanga.
3 Umlomo wami uzakhuluma amazwi alokuhlakanipha.
Ukucabangisisa+ kwamikwenza ngibe lokuqedisisa.
4 Ngizalalela isaga,Ngichasise ilibho lami ngapha ngitshaya ihabhu.*
5 Kungani kumele ngesabe ngezikhathi ezinzima,+Lapho ngiphahlwe ngabantu ababi abazama ukungilimaza?
6 Phakathi kwalabo abathembela enothweni yabo,+Labazigqaja ngenotho yabo enengi,+
7 Akula loyedwa ongenelisa ukuhlenga umfowabo,Kumbe ukumhlawulela kuNkulunkulu.+
8 (Inhlawulo okumele bayikhiphele impilo zabo inkulu kakhulu,Ngeke bayenelise.)
9 Kakho ongahlenga umfowabo ukuze aphile kuze kube nini lanini, angaliboni ingcwaba.+
10 Bonke bayabona ukuthi labahlakaniphileyo bayafa.
Abayizithutha labangelangqondo labo bayafa,+Batshiyele abanye inotho yabo.+
11 Bayabe befisa ukuthi izindlu zabo zihlale kuze kube phakade,Amatende abo aqhubeke ekhona isizukulwane ngesizukulwane.
Indawo zabo bazibiza ngamabizo abo.
12 Kodwa lanxa umuntu ehlonitshwa, kasoze ahlale ekhona.+
Kangcono kulezinyamazana ezifa zihle zitshabalale.+
13 Lesi yiso isiphetho sabayizithutha+Lesalabo ababalandelayo, abakholisa ukuzwa amazwi abo angancediyo. (Selah)
14 Balindelwe yikufa njengezimvu eziyabulawa,Ukufa kuzabelusa.
Abalungileyo bazabusa phezu kwabo+ ekuseni.
Ababi bazatshabalala baphele,+Ikhaya labo lizakuba lingcwaba+ hatshi isigodlo.
15 Kodwa mina uNkulunkulu uzangihlenga engcwabeni,+Uzangibamba angikhiphe. (Selah)
16 Ungethuki nxa umuntu esiba lenotho,Lendlu yakhe igcwala impahla ezinhle,
17 Ngoba mhla esifa kasoze ahambe lalutho,+Kasoze angene lenotho yakhe engcwabeni.+
18 Ngesikhathi esaphila uyabe ezincoma.+
(Phela abantu bayakubuka nxa unothile.)+
19 Kodwa ekucineni umuntu lowo uyafa njengabokhokho bakhe.
Bonke abasoze baphinde bakubone ukukhanya.
20 Umuntu ongakuzwisisiyo lokhu, lanxa ehlonitshwa,+Kangcono kulezinyamazana ezifa zihle zitshabalale.
Amabala angaphansi
