IHubo
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+ kwami
kwenza 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.
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.
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.
