UYobi Uqalekisa Umhla Awazalwa Ngawo
UYobhi wophula ukuthi cwaka ngokuqalekisa umhla awazalwa ngawo. Ufuna obo busuku bucinywe ekubalweni kwemihla, aze amonele abantwana abazalwa befile nookumkani abafileyo, kuba ingcwaba lona lithe cwaka. Kutheni, ubuza, kunikwa ukukhanya umntu uThixo ambiyeleyo?
3 1Emva koku uYobhi wawuvula umlomo wakhe, waza waqalekisa umhla wokuzalwa kwakhe. 2Wathi: 3“Mawutshabalale umhla endazalwa ngawo, nobusuku obuthe: ‘Kukhawulwe inkwenkwe.’ 4Loo mini—mayibe bubumnyama! UThixo ophezulu makangayifuni, kungakhanyi ukukhanya phezu kwayo. 5Mayithathwe bubumnyama nesithunzi esikhulu; malihlale ilifu phezu kwayo; mayoyikiswe bubumnyama bemini. 6Loo busuku—mabubanjwe sisithokothoko; mabungavuyi phakathi kwemihla yomnyaka, bungabalwa phakathi kweenyanga. 7Ewe, mabube ludlolo obo busuku; makungangeni sikhalo sovuyo kubo. 8Mabuqalekiswe ngabo baqalekisa imihla—abo bakulungeleyo ukuvusa uLeviyatan. a a v8 Ehlabathini lamandulo kwakukholelwa ukuba abaqalekisi abazizingcali babenamandla phezu kwemihla enethamsanqa nemihla enelishwa. 9Mazibe mnyama iinkwenkwezi zesifingo sabo; mabulindele ukukhanya bungakufumani, bungaze buyibone imitha yokuqala yentsasa, 10ngokuba bungazivalanga iingcango zesizalo sikama, bungayifihlanga inkathazo emehlweni am. 11Yini na ukuba ndingafanga ekuzalweni, ndaphuma esizalweni, ndaphuma umphefumlo? 12Yini na ukuba abekho amadolo okundamkela, namabele okuba ndanye? b b v12 KumaMpuma Akufuphi amandulo, ukubeka usana olusandul' ukuzalwa emadolweni esizalwane kwakusisenzo esisesikweni sokwamkela umntwana. 13Kuba ngoku ngendilele ndizolile; ngendilele ubuthongo ndiphumle, 14kunye nookumkani namaphakathi omhlaba ababezakhela amanxuwa, 15okanye kunye nezikhulu ezazinegolide, ezazizalisa izindlu zazo ngesilivere. 16Okanye yini na ukuba ndingabanga ngumntwana ozelwe efile wangcwatywa, njengeentsana ezingazange zibone ukukhanya? 17Apho abangendawo bayeka ukugquma, apho abadiniweyo baphumla. 18Bonke kunye abathinjwa bakhululekile; abasaliva izwi lomqhubi-kalukhuni. 19Omncinane nomkhulu bakhona bayafana, nekhoboka likhululekile enkosini yalo. 20Kungani ukukhanya kunikwa lowo osezintsizini, nobomi kulowo okrakra emphefumlweni, 21abalangazelela ukufa okungezayo, bakumbela ngaphezu kobutyebi obufihliweyo, 22abaxhuma ngovuyo, bachwayite xa belifumana ingcwaba? 23Kungani ukukhanya kunikwa indoda indlela yayo isithele, leyo uThixo ayibiyeleyo? 24Kuba ukugcuma kwam kufika phambi kwesonka sam, nezincwino zam ziphalala njengamanzi. 25Kuba into endandiyoyika indifikele, noko ndandikoyika kundifumene mna. 26Andinako ukonwaba, andinako ukuzola, andinako ukuphumla—koko isiphithiphithi kuphela.”
