Kwathi ngesikhashana nje izulu laguqubala ngamafu nangomoya , lana imvula enkulu. U-Ahabi wakhwela inqola, waya eJizreyeli.

Kepha uNkulunkulu uyakuhlala impela emhlabeni na? Bheka, izulu nezulu lamazulu alinakukwanela ; pho, kakhulu kangakanani le ndlu encane engiyakhileyo na?

Lapho izulu livaliwe , imvula ingekho, ngokuba bonile kuwe , kepha bese bekhuleka bebhekene nale ndawo , balivume igama lakho , baphenduke esonweni sabo, ngokuba uyabajezisa,

Ngokuba bonke onkulunkulu babezizwe bayizithombe , kepha uJehova walenza izulu.

Malijabule izulu , umhlaba uthokoze ; makuthiwe ezizweni : UJehova uyinkosi.

UHezekiya wakhuleka phambi kukaJehova , wathi: Jehova Nkulunkulu ka- Israyeli ohlezi phezu kwamakherubi , wena un guNkulunkulu, wena wedwa , wemibuso yonke yomhlaba, wena wenzile izulu nomhlaba.

UHiramu wathi futhi : Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli owenza izulu nomhlaba, nowanika uDavide inkosi indodana ehlakaniphileyo, enolwazi nengqondo, eyakwakhela uJehova indlu nendlu yombuso wakhe.

Kodwa ngubani onamandla okumakhela indlu, lokhu izulu nezulu lamazulu lingemanele na ? Pho, mina ngingubani ukuba ngimakhele indlu , ukuze kushiswe impepho phambi kwakhe na?

Kepha uNkulunkulu uyakuhlala impela nabantu emhlabeni na ? Bheka, izulu nezulu lamazulu alinakukwanela ; pho, kakhulu kangakanani le ndlu encane engiyakhileyo na?

Lapho izulu livaliwe , imvula ingekho, ngokuba bonile kuwe, kepha bese bekhuleka bebhekene nale ndawo , balivume igama lakho , baphenduke esonweni sabo, ngokuba uyabajezisa,

Uma ngivala izulu ukuba kungabikho mvula , noma ngiyaleza isikhonyane ukuba sidle izwe, noma ngithuma isifo phakathi kwabantu bami,

Ngokuba bathanda ukukhohlwa lokhu ukuthi kwaphakade izulu lalikhona kanye nomhlaba owavela emanzini nangawo amanzi , umi ngezwi likaNkulunkulu,

kepha izulu nomhlaba okuk hona manje kubekelelwe umlilo ngalo lona leli zwi, kulindele usuku lokwahlulela nolokubhubha kwabantu abangamesabi uNkulunkulu.

Ngiyamazi umuntu ekuKristu , sekuyiminyaka eyishumi nane -- nakuba wayesemzimbeni angazi , nakuba wayengaphandle komzimba angazi , nguNkulunkulu owaziyo -- onjalo wahlwithwa wayiswa kwelesithathu izulu.

Wathobisa izulu, wehla; ubumnyama babuphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.

Endulo wawusekela umhlaba, izulu lingumsebenzi wezandla zakho.

Manibe ngababusisiweyo bakaJehova owenzile izulu nomhlaba.

Izulu liyizulu likaJehova, kepha umhlaba wawunika abantwana babantu.

Usizo lwami luvela kuJehova owenzile izulu nomhlaba.

Usizo lwethu lusegameni likaJehova owenzile izulu nomhlaba.

UJehova makakubusise eseSiyoni, yena owenzile izulu nomhlaba.

Wathobisa izulu, wehla; ubumnyama babuphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.

Ngezwi likaJehova izulu lenziwa , namabandla onke ngomoya womlomo wakhe.

Ubiza izulu ngaphezulu kanye nomhlaba ukuba ahlulele isizwe sakhe:

Izulu lishumayela ukulunga kwakhe , ngokuba uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli . Sela

umhlaba wazamazama , izulu laconsa phambi kukaNkulunkulu , neSinayi lazamazama phambi kukaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

Amafu athela amanzi, izulu laduma, imicibisholo yakho yaphuma.

Ngelakho izulu, ngowakho umhlaba; izwe nokugcwala kwalo, kukho konke ubeke isisekelo.

Lapha ngibuka izulu lakho , umsebenzi weminwe yakho , inyanga nezinkanyezi ozimisileyo,

Malijabule izulu, umhlaba uthokoze; maluhlokome ulwandle nokugcwala kwalo.

Ngokuba bonke onkulunkulu babezizwe bayizithombe , kepha uJehova walenza izulu.

Kepha phezu kwakho konke, bazalwane bami, ningafungi; ningafungi izulu noma umhlaba noma esinye isifungo ; kodwa uyebo wenu makabe nguyebo , noqhabo uqhabo, ukuze ningaweli ekwahlulelweni. Ukukhuleka

Wabuye wakhuleka; izulu lana imvula, nomhlaba wathela izithelo zawo. Abadukisiweyo

yafunga yena ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade , owadala izulu nokukulo, nomhlaba nokukuwo, nolwandle nokukulo, yathi: Akusayikubakho isikhathi,

Banamandla laba okuvala izulu ukuba lingani ngezinsuku zokuprofetha kwabo, futhi banamandla phezu kwamanzi okuwaphendula igazi nawokushaya umhlaba ngezinhlupho zonke , noma kung aba kangaki ngokuthanda kwabo.

isho ngezwi elikhulu , ithi: Mesabeni uNkulunkulu , nimnike inkazimulo , ngokuba ihora lokwahlulela kwakhe selifikile ; nikhuleke kuye owenza izulu nomhlaba nolwandle nemithombo yamanzi.

Ngase ngibona izulu livulekile ; bheka, nanto ihhash i elimhlophe nohlezi phezu kwalo obizwa ngokuthi oThembekileyo noQinisileyo ; uyahlulela, alwe ngokulunga.

Ngase ngibona izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha ; ngokuba izulu lokuqala nomhlaba wokuqala kudlulile, nolwandle alusekho.

Ekulungiseni kwakhe izulu ngangikhona, nasekudwebeni kwakhe umkhathi ebusweni botwa.

wabona izulu livulekile nesitsha esithile sehla sinjengendwangu enkulu , sehliselwa emhlabeni ngamachopho amane.

okumelwe ukuba izulu limamukele , kuze kube yizikhathi zokubuyiselwa kwakho konke uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngakho ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe abangcwele, kusukela kwaphakade.

Bona sebezwile baphakamisa izwi kuNkulunkulu nganhliziyonye , bathi: Somandla, wena owenza izulu , nomhlaba, nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho,

Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi , nomhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zami ; ngenjani indlu eniyakungakhela yona, isho iNkosi, noma yiyiphi indawo yami yokuphumula na?

wathi: Bheka, ngibona izulu livuliwe , neNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.

Wathi kuye: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini : Nizakubona izulu livuliwe nezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu zenyuka, zehla phezu kweNdodana yomuntu.

Ngiyakusuka, ngiye kubaba , ngithi: Baba, ngonile kulo izulu naphambi kwakho;

Indodana yayisithi kuye : Baba, ngonile kulo izulu naphambi kwakho ; angisafanele ukuthiwa indodana yakho.

Kepha kulula ukuba kudlule izulu nomhlaba kunokuba kuwe ibalana elilodwa lomthetho. Ukuhlalisana kwabaganeneyo (Math. 19:3; Mark. 10:1)

Kuyakudlula izulu nomhlaba, kepha amazwi ami awasoze adlula.

Kwathi bebhapathiziwe abantu bonke , naye uJesu esebhapathiziwe , ekhuleka, izulu lavuleka,

Kepha ngempela ngithi kini : Kwakukhona kwa -Israyeli abafelokazi abaningi emihleni ka-Eliya, lapho izulu lalivalekile iminyaka emi thathu nezinyanga eziyisithupha, kwaba khona indlala enkulu ezweni lonke;

Kuyakudlula izulu nomhlaba, kepha amazwi ami awayikudlula.

Wanele ukukhuphuka emanzini , wabona izulu livuleka , noMoya ehlela phezu kwakhe njengejuba.

Kepha waphendula , wathi kubo : Kusihlwa nithi : Loba lisile , lokhu izulu libhejile;

Nofunga izulu ufunga isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu n ohlezi phezu kwaso.

Kuyakudlula izulu nomhlaba, kepha amazwi ami awasoze adlula.

UJesu esebhapathiziwe wakhuphuka masinyane e manzini; bheka, izulu lavuleka, wabona uMoya kaNkulunkulu ehla njengejuba, eza phezu kwakhe.

Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini : Kuze kudlule izulu nomhlaba , akusoze kwadlula gamana linye nasicashana sinye somthetho, kuze kufezeke konke.

Kepha mina ngithi kini : Ningafungi nakanye , noma izulu , ngokuba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu,

ngokuba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova wenza izulu nomhlaba , nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho , waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa ; ngalokho uJehova walubusisa usuku lwesabatha, walungcwelisa.

Ngalokho ngiyakuzamazamisa izulu, umhlaba unyakaziswe endaweni yawo, ngentukuthelo kaJehova Sebawoti ngosuku lokuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe.

Ibandla lonke lasezulwini liyaphela , izulu lisongwe njengomqulu ; ibandla lonke liyawa njengokuwa kweqabunga emvinin i nanjengokubunileyo emkhiwaneni.

Jehova Sebawoti , Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ohlezi phezu kwamakherubi , wena unguNkulunkulu , wena wedwa , wemibuso yonke yomhlaba , wena wenzile izulu nomhlaba.

Ngubani olinganise amanzi ngentende yesandla sakhe , walinganisa izulu ngeminwe eyeluliweyo , wahlanganisa uthuli esilinganisweni , walinganisa izintaba ngezikalo namagquma ngezisindo, na?

Nguye ohlezi esiyingelezini somhlaba -- abakhile kuwo banjengezintethe -- noweneka izulu njengendwangu, alelule njengetende ukuba kuhlalwe kulo,

Usho kanje uNkul unkulu uJehova owadala izulu, waleneka, nowawendlala umhlaba nokuvela kuwo, nowanika abantu abakuwo ukuphefumul a nomoya kwabahamba kuwo, uthi:

Usho kanje uJehova uMhlengi wakh o nowakubumba kwasesiswini , uthi: NginguJehova owenza konke , oweneka izulu yedwa , nowendlala umhlaba ngokwakhe,

Yimi engiwenzile umhlaba, ngadala abantu phezu kwawo; mina ngezandla zami ngeneka izulu, nebandla lalo lonke ngiliyalezile.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova , owalidala izulu , onguNkulunkulu, owawubumba umhlaba , wawenza, wawumisa, engawudalelanga ize , wawubumba ukuba kuhlalwe kuwo, uthi: NginguJehova, akakho omunye.

Ukhathele ngobuningi bamacebo akho ; mabasukume, bakusindise abadabula izulu , nababheka izinkanyezi , nabazisa ngezinyang a ezintsha ukuthi kuphi lapho kuzakuvela khona lokhu okuzakukwehlela.

Yebo, isandla sami sisibekile isisekelo somhlaba , nesokunene sami silenekile izulu; lapho ngikubizayo, kuma ndawonye.

Ukhohliwe uJehova uMenzi wakh o owaleneka izulu nowasibeka isisekelo somhlaba; uthuthumele njalo izinsuku zonk e ngokufutheka komcindezel i njengokungathi ozilungiselela ukuchitha; kuphi ukufutheka komcindezeli na?

Phakamiselani amehlo enu ezulwini , niwubheke umhlaba phansi , ngokuba izulu liyakunyamalala njengomusi, umhlaba uguge njengengubo, nabakhileyo kuwo bafe njengezinsensane, kepha insindiso yami iyakum a kuze kube phakade, nokulunga kwami akuyikuphela.

ukuze kuthi ozibusisa emhlaben i azibusise kuNkulunkulu weqiniso , nofunga emhlabeni , afunge uNkulunkulu weqiniso , ngokuba izinhlupheko zakuqala zikhohlakele nangokuba zisithele emehlweni ami. Izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha

Ngokuba bheka, ngiyadala izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha ; izinto zakuqala aziyikukhunjulwa, zingene enhliziyweni.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi , umhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zami ; iphi leyo ndlu ebeniyakungakhela yona , iphi indawo yami yokuphumula, na?

Ngokuba njengokuba izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha engiyakukwenza kuyakuma phambi kwami , usho uJehova , kanjalo kuyakuma inzalo yakho negama lakho.

Njengalokho bayaleza ukuba kushiywe isiqu sezimpande zomuthi , umbuso wakho uyakuqina kuwe, lapho usufundile ukuthi izulu liyabusa.

Umbuso nokubusa nobukhulu bemibuso phansi kwalo lonke izulu kuyakunikwa isizwe sabangcwele boPhezukonke; umbuso wakhe ungumbuso ongunaphakade; yonke imibuso iyakumkhonza, imlalele.

Bheka, izulu nezulu lamazulu lingelikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , nomhlaba nakho konke okukuwo.

intukuthelo kaJehova inivuthele , avale izulu , ukuze kungabikho mvula , izwe lingabe lisathela izithelo zalo, niphele masinyane ezweni elihle uJehova aninika lona.

UJehova uyakukuvulela indlu yakhe yengcebo , izulu, anise imvula yezwe lakho ngesikhathi sayo , abusise wonke umsebenzi wesandla sakho ; uyakutsheleka izizwe eziningi, kepha ungatsheleki lutho kuzo.

Izulu lakho eliphezu kwakho liyakuba yithusi , umhlaba ophansi kwakho ube yinsimbi.

Ngifakazisa namuhla izulu nomhlaba ngani ukuthi ngibeke phambi kwenu ukuphila nokufa , isibusiso nesiqalekiso; ngalokho khethani ukuphila ukuba niphile, wena nenzalo yakho,

Ngibuthele onke amalunga ezizwe zenu nezinduna zenu ukuba ngikhulume lawa mazwi ezindlebeni zazo, ngifakazise izulu nomhlaba ngazo.

Akakho ofana noNkulunkulu , Jeshuruni, okhwela izulu ukuyokusiza , nomkhathi ngokuphakama kwakhe.

ngifakazisa namuhla izulu nomhlaba ngani ukuthi niyakuphela nokuphela masinyane ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuya kulo ukuba nilidle ; aniyikwandisa izinsuku zenu kulo: niyakuqothulwa nokuqothulwa.

Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba.

UNkulunkulu wabiza umkhathi ngokuthi izulu . Kwaba ngukuhlwa , kwaba ngukusa, usuku lwesibili.

Kwase kupheleliswa izulu nomhlaba kanye nombuthano wakho wonke.

Ngalokho izulu livinjelwe kungabe kusabakho mazolo, nomhlaba uvinjelwe ungabe usaba nazithelo.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu ngenyanga yesine ngolwesihlanu, ngiphakathi kwabathunjwa ngasemfuleni iKhebari , lavuleka izulu, ngabona imibono ngoNkulunkulu.

Lapho ngikucisha , ngiyakusibekela izulu , ngenze mnyama izinkanyezi , ngimboze ilanga ngefu, inyanga ingakhanyisi ngokukhanya kwayo.

Niyakusho kanje kubo, nithi: Onkulunkulu abangenzanga izulu nomhlaba, labo bayakubhubha emhlabeni nangaphansi kwezulu.

Wawenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe , walimisa izwe ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, ngokuqonda kwakhe waleneka izulu.

Ukhona ongacasha ezindaweni ezisithekileyo ukuze ngingamboni na? usho uJehova. Angithi ngiyagcwalisa izulu nomhlaba na? usho uJehova.

Usho k anje uJehova , uthi: Uma izulu lilinganiswa phezulu , nezisekelo zomhlaba zivivinywa ngaphansi , khona mina ngiyakuyilahla yonke inzalo yakwa-Israyeli ngakho konke abakwenzileyo, usho uJehova.

E, Nkosi Jehova , bheka, wena wenzile izulu nomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo; akukho lutho olukwahlulayo

Umhlaba uyakhala ngalokhu , izulu phezulu limnyama , ngokuba ngikukhulumile, ngikuhlosile, ngingazisolanga; futhi angiyikubuya kukho.

Wawenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe , walimisa izwe ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, ngokuqonda kwakhe waleneka izulu.

Bese kuqhumuka izulu nomhlaba, nakho konke okukukho, ngokuhlabelela ngeBabele, ngokuba abachithi bayakumfikel a bevela enyakatho , usho uJehova.

kanjalo umuntu ulala phansi , angabe esavuka ; lize lingabikho izulu abayikuvuka, bangaphaphanyiswa ebuthongweni babo.

Izulu liyakwambula ububi bakhe, umhlaba umvukele.

Ngokuphefumula kwakhe izulu liyakhazimula ; isandla sakhe sigwazile inyoka esheshayo.

Uyakukhipha phansi kwalo lonke izulu , nonyazi lwakhe luya emagumbini omhlaba.

oweneka izulu yedwa, ahambe emazeni olwandle;

UJehova uyaduma eseSiyoni , ezwakalise izwi lakhe eseJerusalema ; izulu nomhlaba kuyazamazama , kepha uJehova uyisiphephelo sabantu bakhe , nenqaba yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Wena unguJehova, wena wedwa. Wenzile izulu, izulu lamazulu nalo lonke ibandla lawo , umhlaba nakho konke okukuwo , izilwandle nakho konke okukuzo, ulonda konke, nebandla lasezulwini likhuleka kuwe.
