Inhliziyo Iyakhohlisa

1“Isono sikaJuda sidwetshwe ngensimbi,sabhalwa ngomcijo wedayimaniezicecedwini zenhliziyo zabolasempondweni zama-alithare abo.2Labantwababo bayawakhumbulaama-alithare abo lezinsika zika-Asheraphansi kwezihlahla eziluhlazalaphezu kwamaqaqa aphakemeyo.3Intaba yami eselizwenilenotho yenu kanye lemfuyo yenu yonkengizakunikela kube yimpango,ndawonye lezindawo zenu eziphakemeyo,ngenxa yokona kulolonke ilizwe lenu.4Ngenxa yezici zenu lizalahlekelwayilifa engalinika lona.Ngizalenza libe yizigqili zezitha zenuelizweni elingalaziyo,ngoba livuse ulaka lwami,njalo luzavutha kuze kube nininini.”5UThixo uthi:“Uqalekisiwe lowo othemba umuntu,othembe ukuthi amandla akhe asenyameni,onhliziyo yakhe ihlamukela uThixo.6Uzakuba njengesihlahlanyana enkangala;ukuphumelela kayikukubona ekufikeni kwakho.Uzahlala ezindaweni ezomileyo enkangala,elizweni letswayi elingahlali muntu.
7Kodwa ubusisiwe umuntu othemba uThixo,othemba lakhe likuye.8Uzakuba njengesihlahla esihlanyelwe eduze lamanziesinabisela impande zaso esifuleni.Kasesabi lapho ukutshisa kufika;amahlamvu aso ahlala eluhlaza.Kasikhathazeki ngomnyaka wokoma;kasiphuthi ukuthela izithelo.”
9Inhliziyo iyakhohlisa okudlula izinto zonkenjalo imbi kakhulu.Ngubani ongayizwisisa na?
10“Mina Thixo ngiyayihlola inhliziyongihlole lengqondo,ukuba umuntu ngimnike okufanele ukwenza kwakhe mayelanalalokho okufanele izenzo zakhe.”
11Umuntu ozuza inotho ngezindlela ezimbiunjengesikhwehle esichamisela amaqanda esingawaqandelanga.Lapho ingxenye yokuphila kwakhe isidlule, izaphela,kuthi ekucineni abonakale eyisithutha.
12Isihlalo sobukhosi, esikhazimulayo esaphakanyiswayo kusukela ekuqaleni,siyindawo yethu yokuphephela.13Awu Thixo, themba lika-Israyeli,bonke abakudelayo bazayangiswa.Labo abakuhlamukelayo bazabhalwa othuliningoba bedele uThixo,umthombo wamanzi okuphila.
14Ngisilisa, Thixo, njalo ngizasiliswa;ungikhulule, ngizakhululeka,ngoba nguwe engimdumisayo.15Bahlala besithi kimi,“Lingaphi ilizwi likaThixo na?Kaligcwaliseke khathesi!”16Angibalekanga ekubeni ngumelusi wenu;liyakwazi ukuthiangilufisanga usuku lokuphela ithemba.Okudlula endebeni zami kusobala kini.17Ungabi ngowesabekayo kimi;uyisiphephelo sami ngosuku lokuhlupheka.18Abangihluphayo kabayangiswe,kodwa mina ungivikele ehlazweni;kababe lokwesaba,kodwa mina ungivikele ekwesabeni.Balethele usuku lobubi.Ubabhubhise ngokuqothula okuphindiweyo.

Ukugcina ISabatha Lingcwele

19UThixo wathi kimi: “Hamba uyekuma esangweni labantu, amakhosi akoJuda angena ngalo njalo aphume ngalo; ume futhi lakuwo wonke amanye amasango aseJerusalema.20Uthi kubo, ‘Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lina makhosi akoJuda labo bonke abantu abahlala koJuda kanye labantu bonke abahlala eJerusalema abangena ngala amasango.21UThixo uthi: Qaphelani lingathwali mthwalo ngosuku lweSabatha loba liwungenise ngamasango aseJerusalema.22Lingaphumisi mthwalo ezindlini zenu kumbe lenze loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngosuku lweSabatha, kodwa ligcine iSabatha lingcwele, njengokulaya kwami okhokho benu.23Kodwa kabalalelanga loba banake; izintamo zabo zazilukhuni njalo kabalalelanga kumbe bamukele ukulaywa.24UThixo uthi: Kodwa nxa liqaphele ukungilalela, lingangenisi mthwalo ngamasango edolobho leli ngeSabatha, kodwa ligcina usuku lweSabatha lungcwele ngokungenzi msebenzi ngalo,25lapho-ke amakhosi ahlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida azangena lezikhulu zawo ngamasango edolobho leli. Wona lezikhulu zawo bazafika begade izinqola zempi lamabhiza, belabantu bakoJuda lalabo abahlala eJerusalema; bahlale kulo idolobho kuze kube nininini.26Abantu bazakuza bevela emadolobheni akoJuda lasemizini egqagqele iJerusalema, bevela elizweni lakoBhenjamini lasezintatshaneni zangasentshonalanga, bevela elizweni lamaqaqa laseNegebi, beletha iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, iminikelo yamabele, impepha kanye leminikelo yokubonga endlini kaThixo.27Kodwa nxa lingangilaleli ekuthini ligcine usuku lweSabatha lungcwele ngokungathwali mthwalo lapho lingena ngamasango aseJerusalema ngosuku lweSabatha, lapho-ke ngizaphemba umlilo ongacitshekiyo emasangweni eJerusalema ozaqothula izinqaba zalo.’ ”
