Ukwahlulela LeNsindiso

1 "Ngaziveza kulabo abangangicelanga;

ngafunyanwa yilabo abangangidinganga.

Isizwe esingakhulekanga kimi

ngathi kuso, ‘Ngilapha, ngilapha.’

29 Abakhatheleyo uyabanika amandla,

andise amandla ababuthakathaka.

30 Labatsha baphelelwa ngamandla bakhathale,

lamajaha ayakhubeka awe,

31 kodwa labo abathemba uThixo

bazavuselelwa amandla abo.

Bazaqonga ngempiko njengezinkozi,

bazagijima kodwa bangadinwa,

bazahamba kodwa bangapheli amandla.

11 Dingani uThixo lamandla akhe,

limdinge yena njalonjalo.

11 Dingani uThixo lamandla akhe,

limdinge yena njalonjalo.

9 Njalo wena ndodana yami, Solomoni, mamukele uNkulunkulu kayihlo, umkhonze ngokuzinikela ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langengqondo yokuvuma, ngoba uThixo uyihlola yonke inhliziyo kanti uyayazi iminakano lezenzo zonke. Nxa umdinga uThixo, uzamthola wena, kodwa nxa umfulathela, uzakufulathela yena kuze kube nininini.

14 nxa abantu bami, ababizwa ngebizo lami, bezazithoba bakhuleke badinge ubuso bami njalo batshiye izindlela zabo ezimbi, kulapho ngizakuzwa khona ngisezulwini ngithethelele izono zabo njalo ngiphephise ilizwe labo.

2 Waphuma ukuba ayehlangabezana lo-Asa wasesithi kuye, "Lalela kimi, Asa labo bonke abakoJuda labakoBhenjamini. UThixo ulawe nxa wena ukuye. Nxa umfuna, uzamthola, kodwa nxa umlahla uzakulahla.

Imvuselelo Ka-Asa

1 Umoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kuka-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi. 2 Waphuma ukuba ayehlangabezana lo-Asa wasesithi kuye, "Lalela kimi, Asa labo bonke abakoJuda labakoBhenjamini. UThixo ulawe nxa wena ukuye. Nxa umfuna, uzamthola, kodwa nxa umlahla uzakulahla. 3 Okwesikhathi eside abako-Israyeli babengelaye uNkulunkulu weqiniso, bengelaye umphristi wokufundisa njalo bengelawo umthetho. 4 Kodwa osizini lwabo baphendukela kuThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, bamdinga bamthola. 5 Ngalezonsuku, ngenxa yokuxokozela okukhulu kwezizwe, kwakungelula ukuhambahamba. 6 Kwakulencithakalo isizwe sichithwa ngesinye, umuzi uchithwa ngomunye, ngoba uNkulunkulu wabehlisela zonke inhlobonhlobo zosizi. 7 Kodwa wena, qina ungayekethisi, ngoba owakho umsebenzi uzakuba lomvuzo."

8 U-Asa wathi ewezwa lamazwi lesiphrofethi sika-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi umphrofethi, waqina waba lesibindi. Wasusa zonke izithombe ezinengisayo kulolonke ilizwe lakoJuda lelakoBhenjamini lasemizini ayeyithumbile emaqaqeni ako-Efrayimi. Wavuselela i-alithari likaThixo elaliphambi komkoto wethempeli likaThixo.

9 Wasebuthanisa bonke abakoJuda labakoBhenjamini kanye labantu ababevela ko-Efrayimi, lakoManase kanye lakoSimiyoni ababehlezi phakathi kwabo, ngoba babebanengi kakhulu abako-Israyeli ababethe ngokubona ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wayelaye bathutha beza ngakuye.

10 Babuthana eJerusalema ngenyanga yesithathu ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa. 11 Ngalesosikhathi benza imihlatshelo kuThixo eyezinkomo ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa lezimvu kanye lembuzi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa kulezo ababezithumbe babuya lazo. 12 Benza isivumelwano sokuba bamdinge uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, ngezinhliziyo zabo ezipheleleyo langomoya. 13 Bonke ababengayi kumdinga uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, babefanele babulawe, loba bebancinyane loba bebakhulu, loba kungowesilisa kumbe owesifazane. 14 Benza isifungo kuThixo ngokuvungama, bememeza njalo bevuthela lamacilongo lempondo. 15 AbakoJuda bathokoza bonke ngesifungo ngoba babesenze ngenhliziyo yabo yonke. Bamdinga uThixo ngokulangatha, wabavumela ukuthi bamthole. Ngakho uThixo wabanika ukuthula inxa zonke.

16 Inkosi u-Asa yasusa ugogo wayo uMahakha esikhundleni sokuba yindlovukazi ngoba wayenze insika yokukhonzela unkulunkulukazi u-Ashera oyisinengiso. U-Asa wayidiliza insika, wayiqumaquma wayitshisela eSigodini saseKhidironi. 17 Lanxa engasusanga izindawo zokukhonzela ko-Israyeli, u-Asa wayezinikele kuThixo ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke empilweni yakhe yonke. 18 Wangenisa ethempelini likaNkulunkulu isiliva legolide lezinto lezo yena kanye loyise ababezahlukanisele uThixo.

19 Akusazange kube lempi kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.

13 Lizangidinga lingifumane nxa lingidinga ngenhliziyo yenu yonke.

13 Lizangidinga lingifumane nxa lingidinga ngenhliziyo yenu yonke.

29 "Ilizwi lami kalinjengomlilo," kutsho uThixo, "lanjengesando esidabula idwala libe yizicucu na?"

29 Kodwa nxa likhonale lingadinga uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lizamfumana nxa limdinga ngezinhliziyo zenu ezipheleleyo langemiphefumulo yenu yonke.

2 Babusisiwe labo abagcina imilayo yakhe,

abayidinga ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.

2 Babusisiwe labo abagcina imilayo yakhe,

abayidinga ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.

10 Ngikudinga ngenhliziyo yami yonke;

ungangiyekeli ngiphambuke emilayweni yakho.

28 Umphefumulo wami ukhathele ngosizi;

ngiqinisa njengokwelizwi lakho.

45 Ngizazihambela ngikhululekile,

ngoba ngiyidingisisile imithetho yakho.

4 Dingani uThixo lamandla akhe,

limdinge yena njalonjalo.

4 Dingani uThixo lamandla akhe,

limdinge yena njalonjalo.

8 Ithi inhliziyo yami Ngawe, "Dinga ubuso bakhe!"

Ubuso Bakho, Thixo ngizabudinga.

1 Oh Nkulunkulu, unguNkulunkulu wami,

ngiyakudinga ngitshiseka;

umphefumulo wami uyakomela,

umzimba wami uyakudinga,

elizweni elomileyo eseligugile

lapho okungelamanzi khona.

Celani, Dingani, Qoqodani

7 "Celani lizaphiwa; dingani lizafumana; qoqodani lizavulelwa.

9 Ngakho ngithi kini: Celani lizaphiwa; dingani lizafumana; qoqodani lizavulelwa. 10 Ngoba wonke ocelayo uyaphiwa; lowo odingayo uyafumana; lalowo oqoqoda emnyango uzavulelwa.

9 Ngakho ngithi kini: Celani lizaphiwa; dingani lizafumana; qoqodani lizavulelwa.

31 Kodwa funani umbuso wakhe, zonke lezizinto lizaziphiwa lazo.

10 Ngoba iNdodana yoMuntu yalanda ukudinga lokusindisa lokho okwakulahlekile."

10 Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe,

ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.

10 Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe,

ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.

4 Ngamdinga uThixo wangiphendula;

wangikhulula kukho konke engangikwesaba.

10 Izilwane zingaphela amandla zilambe,

kodwa labo abamdingayo uThixo kabasweli lutho oluhle.

4 Zithokozise kuThixo

Yena uzakupha izifiso zenhliziyo yakho.

2 UThixo ukhangela phansi esezulwini

emadodaneni abantu

ingabe bakhona yini abazwisisayo,

abamdingayo uNkulunkulu.

1 Oh Thixo, usungihlolile

usungazi.

2 Uyakwazi lapho ngihlala lalapho ngiphakama;

uyayibona imicabango yami lanxa ukhatshana.

5 Uzakwamukela isibusiso kuThixo

lokukhululwa kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wakhe.

6 Sinjalo isizukulwane salabo abamdingayo,

abadinga ubuso Bakho, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.

4 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo endlini ka-Israyeli:

"Dingani mina, liphile;

4 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo endlini ka-Israyeli:

"Dingani mina, liphile;

14 Dingani okuhle, hatshi okubi,

ukuze liphile.

Lapho-ke uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla uzakuba lani

njengoba lisithi ulani.

16 Ngikhulekela ukuthi ngenotho yobukhosi bakhe aliqinise ngamandla ngoMoya wakhe ezinhliziyweni zenu

Isihlangu SikaNkulunkulu

10 Ekucineni, qinani eNkosini lasemandleni ayo amakhulu.

11 liqiniswa ngamandla wonke mayelana lamandla akhe amangalisayo ukuze libe lokubekezela kanye lesineke esikhulu, kuthi njalo ngokuthokoza

7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasiphanga umoya wobugwala kodwa umoya wamandla, lowothando kanye lowokuzithiba.

6 Kungelakukholwa akweneliseki ukumthokozisa uNkulunkulu ngoba oza kuye kumele akholwe ukuthi ukhona lokuthi uyabanika umvuzo labo abamdinga ngobuqotho.

6 Kungelakukholwa akweneliseki ukumthokozisa uNkulunkulu ngoba oza kuye kumele akholwe ukuthi ukhona lokuthi uyabanika umvuzo labo abamdinga ngobuqotho.

8 Kodwa lina lizakwamukela amandla nxa uMoya oNgcwele esefikile kini, njalo lizakuba ngofakazi bami eJerusalema lakulo lonke eleJudiya laseSamariya kanye lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba."

12 Sengathi uThixo angakupha umvuzo ngalokhu okwenzileyo. Sengathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, oze ukuphephela ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe angakupha umvuzo omkhulu."

6 Umoya kaThixo wafika kuye ngamandla wasidabula ngezandla zakhe njengayengakwenza edabula izinyane lembuzi. Kodwa uyise lonina kabatshelanga ayekwenzile.

28 USamsoni wasekhuleka kuThixo esithi, "Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ake ungikhumbule. Oh Nkulunkulu, ake ungiqinise kanye nje futhi, kuthi ngokugalela okukodwa ngiphindisele kumaFilistiya amehlo ami amabili."

8 Kungcono ukuphephela kuThixo

kulokuthemba umuntu.

9 Kungcono ukuphephela kuThixo

kulokuthemba amakhosana.

22 Lowo ozuza umfazi ufumana okuhle,

athole umusa kuThixo.

14 Yazi njalo ukuthi ukuhlakanipha kumnandi emphefumulweni wakho,

aluba ukuzuza ikusasa lakho lilethemba elihle,

njalo ithemba lakho aliyikudaniswa.
