34 bacima amandla omlilo, baphunyuka obukhali benkemba, baqiniswa ebuthakathakeni, baba ngamaqhawe ekulweni, baxosha amabutho abezizwe.
35 Abesifazane bemukela abafileyo babo bevusiwe; abanye bahlushwa, kabavuma ukukhululwa; ukuze bathole ukuvuka okungcono kakhulu;
36 Abanye balingwa ngokuhlekwa ngonya nangokubhaxabulwa, yebo, nangezibopho nokuboshwa;
37 bakhandwa ngamatshe, banqunyulwa phakathi, balingwa, babulawa ngenkemba, bazulazula bembethe izikhumba zezimvu nezikhumba zezimbuzi; beswele, behlupheka, behlutshwa;
38 (umhlaba wawungabafanele) bazulazula ezingwadule, nasezintabeni, nasemihumeni, nasemihumeni yomhlaba.
39 Labo bonke laba, befakazelwe ngokholo, kabazemukelanga isithembiso;

1 Umbono ka-Isaya, indodana ka-Amose, awubonayo ngoJuda neJerusalema emihleni ka-Uziya, noJothamu, no-Ahazi, noHezekiya, amakhosi akwaJuda.
2 Yizwani, mazulu, uzwe, wena mhlaba, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile, wathi: “Ngondlile ngakhulisa abantwana, kodwa bangihlubukile.
3 Inkabi iyamazi umniniyo, nembongolo iyamazi umkhombe womnumzane wayo, kepha u-Israyeli akazi, abantu bami abalaleli.
4 O sizwe esonayo, abantu abasindwa ngobubi, sizukulwane sabenzi bokubi, bantwana abonakele; bamshiyile uJehova, bamklolodela oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, bahlehla nyovane.
5 Usalokhu ushaywa ngani? niyakudlubulunda ngokwandayo; lonke ikhanda liyagula, nenhliziyo yonke ibuthakathaka.
6 Kusukela ematheni onyawo kuze kufike ekhanda akukho muntu ophilayo kuwo; kodwa imivimbo nemivimbo namathumba abolayo;
7 Izwe lakini liyincithakalo, imizi yenu ishisiwe ngomlilo; izwe lenu abafokazi bayalidla phambi kwenu, liyincithakalo njengokuchithwa kwabafokazi.
8 Indodakazi yaseSiyoni yashiywa njengendlwana esivinini, njengombhede ensimini yamakhukhamba, njengomuzi ovinjezelwe.
9 Ukube uJehova Sebawoti ubengasishiyelanga insali encane, ngabe sifana neSodoma, sifana neGomora.
10 Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina baphathi baseSodoma! lalelani umthetho kaNkulunkulu wethu, bantu baseGomora!
11 Buyini ubuningi bemihlatshelo yenu kimi na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Ngigcwele iminikelo yokushiswa yezinqama namanoni ezinkomo ezikhuluphalisiweyo; futhi angithokozi ngegazi lezinkunzi nelewundlu noma lezimbuzi.
12 Uma niza ukubonakala phambi kwami, ngubani okufunileyo lokhu ukuba ningene emagcekeni ami na?
13 Ningabe nisaletha izipho eziyize; izithako ziyisinengiso kimi; ukwethwasa kwenyanga namasabatha, ukubiza imibuthano, anginakukuqeda; kungububi, ngitsho umkhosi.
14 Ukwethwasa kwezinyanga zenu nemikhosi yenu kuyawuzonda umphefumulo wami; kulusizi kimi; Sengikhathele ukuwagqoka.
15 Uma nelula izandla zenu, ngiyakuwafihla amehlo ami kini; yebo, uma nikhuleka kakhulu, angiyikuzwa; izandla zakho zigcwele igazi.
16 Gezani, nihlanzeke; susani ububi bezenzo zenu phambi kwamehlo ami; yekani ukwenza okubi;
17 Fundani ukwenza okuhle; funani ukwahlulelwa, nisize abacindezelweyo, yahluleleni intandane, nimele umfelokazi.
18 Wozani manje siyilungise indaba, usho uJehova; noma izono zenu zibomvu kakhulu, ziyakuba mhlophe njengeqhwa; noma zibomvu njengokubomvu, ziyakuba njengoboya bezimvu.
19 Uma nivuma, nilalela, niyakudla okuhle kwezwe;
20 Kepha uma nala, nihlubuka, niyakuqedwa ngenkemba, ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukhulumile.
21 Yeka ukuthi umuzi othembekile usuphenduke kanjani isifebe! laligcwele ukwahlulela; ukulunga kwahlala khona; kodwa manje bangababulali.
22 Isiliva lakho seliyigwebu, iwayini lakho lixutshwe namanzi;
23 Izikhulu zakho ziyizihlubuki nabangane bamasela; wonke umuntu uthanda izipho futhi ujaha imivuzo; abahluleli izintandane, necala lomfelokazi alifiki kubo.
24 Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uJehova Sebawoti, uMninimandla ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Ngiyakuzikhulula ezitheni zami, ngiziphindiselele ezitheni zami.
25 Futhi ngiyobuyisela isandla sami phezu kwakho futhi ngigeze amabibi akho ngisuse wonke amathini akho.
26 Ngiyakubuyisela abahluleli bakho njengasekuqaleni, nabeluleki bakho njengasekuqaleni; emva kwalokho uyakubizwa ngokuthi: Umuzi wokulunga, umuzi othembekileyo.
27 IZiyoni lizahlengwa ngokulunga, labaphendukayo balo ngokulunga.
28 Ukubhujiswa kwabaphambukayo nezoni kuyakuba kanyekanye, nabamshiyayo uJehova baphele.
29 Ngoba bazakuba lenhloni ngezihlahla ze-okhi enizifisayo, njalo lizakuba lenhloni ngezivande enizikhethileyo.
30 Ngoba lizakuba njengesihlahla se-okhi esibuna amahlamvu awo, lanjengensimu engelamanzi.
31 Onamandla uyakuba njengentambo nomenzi wakho njengenhlansi, zivuthe zombili kanyekanye, kungabikho ocimayo.

UGenesise 19 : 1 – 38
1 Kwathi sekuhlwile kweza izingelosi ezimbili eSodoma; uLoti wayehlezi esangweni laseSodoma, uLoti ewabona, wasukuma ukuwahlangabeza; wakhothamisa ubuso bakhe emhlabathini;
2 Wathi: “Bheka, Nkosi yami, phendukela endlini yenceku yakho, ulale ubusuku bonke, ugeze izinyawo zakho, bese uvuka ekuseni, uhambe; Baphendula bathi: Cha! kodwa sizahlala emgwaqweni ubusuku bonke.
3 Kodwa waphikelela; baphendukela kuye, bangena endlini yakhe; wabalungisela ukudla, wabhaka isinkwa esingenamvubelo, badla.
4 Kepha ngaphambi kokuba zilale, amadoda omuzi, amadoda aseSodoma, ahaqa indlu, amadala nabasha, bonke abantu nxazonke.
5 Bambiza uLoti, bathi kuye: “Aphi lawa madoda angenise kuwe ebusuku na?” Zikhiphele kithi, ukuze sizazi.
6 ULothi waphuma ngomnyango waya kubo wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
7 Wathi: “Ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ningayenzi into embi kanje.
8 Bhekani, nginamadodakazi amabili engingaziwa muntu; ngiyakubakhiphela bona, ngenze kubo njengokuhle emehlweni enu; nje ungenzi lutho kulawa madoda; ngoba zeza ngaphansi komthunzi wophahla lwami.
9 Bathi: “Suka.” Baphinda bathi: Lo ungene ukugogobala, uyakuba ngumahluleli; manje sizokuphatha kabi kunabo. Bayicindezela indoda, uLoti, basondela ukuba bafohloze umnyango.
10 Kodwa amadoda elula isandla amdonsela uLoti endlini kanye nawo, ahluthulela umnyango.
11 Amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ashaya ngobumpumputhe, amancane namakhulu, akhathala ngokuthola umnyango.
12 Ayesethi amadoda kuLoti: “Usenabakhwenyana, namadodana, namadodakazi, nakho konke onakho emzini, bakhiphe kule ndawo na?
13 Ngokuba siyakuyichitha le ndawo, ngokuba isikhalo ngabo sesisikhulu phambi kukaJehova; uJehova wasithuma ukuba silichithe.
14 ULoti wasephuma, wakhuluma kubakhwenyana bakhe ababethethe amadodakazi akhe, wathi: Sukani, lisuke kulindawo; ngoba iNkosi izawuchitha lumuzi. Kodwa wayebukeka njengomuntu ogcona abakhwenyana bakhe.
15 Kwathi sekusile, izingelosi zamphuthumisa uLoti, zathi: “Vuka, uthathe umkakho namadodakazi akho omabili akhona; funa nibhubhe ngobubi bomuzi.
16 Esalindile, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, nesandla somkakhe, nesandla samadodakazi akhe omabili; uJehova waba nomusa kuye, bamkhipha, bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi.
17 Esebakhiphele phandle wathi: “Balekani ukuphila kwenu; ungabheki emva kwakho, ungahlali ethafeni lonke; balekela entabeni, funa ubhujiswe.
18 ULoti wasesithi kuwo: Hatshi, Nkosi yami!
19 Bheka manje, inceku yakho ifumene umusa emehlweni akho, futhi ukhulise umusa wakho ongenzele wona kimi ngokusindisa ukuphila kwami; futhi anginakubalekela entabeni, funa ububi bungifike ngife.
20 Bheka-ke, lo muzi useduze ukuba ngibalekele kuwo, futhi mncane;
21 Wathi kuye: “Bheka, nami ngikuthokozisile ngale ndaba, ukuthi angiyikuwubhubhisa lo muzi okhulume ngawo.”
22 Sheshani, nibalekele khona; ngoba mina ngingenze lutho uze ufike kukho. Ngalokho igama lomuzi lathiwa iZowari.
23 Ilanga laphuma phezu komhlaba lapho uLothi engena eZowari.
24 UJehova wanisa isibabule nomlilo phezu kweSodoma neGomora kuvela ezulwini;
25 Wagumbuqela leyo mizi, nalo lonke ithafa, nabo bonke abakhileyo emizini, nalokho okuhluma emhlabathini.
26 Kepha umkakhe wabheka emva kwakhe, waba yinsika kasawoti.
27 U-Abrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni lapho ayemi khona phambi kukaJehova.
28 Wabheka ngaseSodoma naseGomora nasezweni lonke lethafa, bheka, umusi wezwe wenyuka njengomusi wesithando.
29 Lapho uNkulunkulu ebhubhisa imizi yasethafeni, uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula u-Abrahama futhi wamkhipha uLoti phakathi nenkathi ephendukayo, lapho egumbuqela imizi uLoti ayehlala kuyo.
30 ULoti wasuka eZowari, wahlala entabeni, namadodakazi akhe womabili kanye naye; ngoba wesaba ukuhlala eZowari, waya wahlala emhumeni, yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili.
31 Eyamazibulo yathi kwencane: “Ubaba usekhulile, futhi akukho muntu emhlabeni ongangena kithi njengowomhlaba wonke.”
32 Wozani simphuzise ubaba iwayini, sihlanganyele naye, ukuze sigcine inzalo kababa.
33 Base bemphuzisa uyise iwayini ngalobo busuku; yangena izibulo, yalala noyise; futhi akabonanga lapho elala nalapho evuka.
34 Ngangomuso izibulo yathi kwencane: “Bheka, ngilele nobaba izolo ebusuku; masimphuzise iwayini ngalobu busuku; futhi ungene futhi ulale naye, ukuze silondoloze inzalo kababa wethu.
35 Zase zimphuzisa uyise iwayini nangabo lobo busuku, encane yasuka yalala naye; futhi akabonanga lapho elala nalapho evuka.
36 Ngakho womabili amadodakazi kaLoti akhulelwa uyise.
37 Eyokuqala yazala indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uMowabi; unguyise wamaMowabi kuze kube namuhla.
38 Encane nayo yazala indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uBenami; lowo unguyise wabantwana bakwa-Amoni kuze kube namuhla.

2 Bazalwane bami, nxa nehlelwa yizilingo ngezilingo, anothi kuyinjabulo yodwa;
3 nazi lokhu ukuthi ukuvivinywa kokukholwa kwenu kuveza ukubekezela.
4 Kepha ukubekezela makuphelelise umsebenzi wako, ukuze nibe ngabaphelele nabaphelele, ningasweli lutho.
5 Uma noma ubani kini entula ukuhlakanipha, makacele kuNkulunkulu opha bonke ngobuhle, engasoli; njalo uzakuphiwa.
6 Kodwa kacele ekholweni engangabazi lutho. Ngokuba ongabazayo ufana negagasi lolwandle eliqhutshwa umoya linyakaziswa.
7 Ngokuba lowo muntu makangacabangi ukuthi uyakwamukeliswa utho eNkosini.
8 Umuntu onhliziyombili kagxilile kuzo zonke izindlela zakhe.
9 Umzalwane ophansi makathokoze ngokuphakanyiswa kwakhe;
10 Kepha ocebileyo ngokuthotshiswa kwakhe, ngokuba njengembali yotshani uyakudlula.
11 Ngoba ilanga liyaphuma lilokushisa okutshisayo, kodwa libunisa utshani, lembali yabo iyawa, lobuhle besimo sabo bubhubha;
12 Ubusisiwe umuntu okhuthazela ekulingweni, ngokuba lapho esevivinyiwe uyakwamukeliswa umqhele wokuphila iNkosi ewuthembisile kwabayithandayo.
13 Umuntu olingwayo makangasho ukuthi: Ngiyengwa nguNkulunkulu;

1 Kwakukhona umuntu wakubaFarisi, nguNikodemu igama lakhe, isikhulu sabaJuda;
2 Yena weza kuJesu ebusuku, wathi kuye: “Rabi, siyazi ukuthi ungumfundisi ovela kuNkulunkulu, ngokuba akakho ongenza lezi zibonakaliso ozenzayo wena, uma uNkulunkulu engenaye.
3 UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Uma umuntu engazalwa ngokusha, angewubone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
4 UNikodima wathi kuye: Umuntu angazalwa kanjani esemdala na? Angangena ngokwesibili esiswini sikanina, azalwe, na?
5 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Ngaphandle kokuthi umuntu azalwe ngamanzi langoMoya, angengene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
6 Lokho okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama; nalokho okuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya.
7 Ungamangali ngokuba ngithe kuwe: Nimelwe ukuzalwa ngokusha.
8 Umoya uphephetha lapho othanda khona, uyawuzwa umsindo wawo, kepha awukwazi lapho uvela khona nalapho uya khona; unjalo wonke ozelwe nguMoya.
9 UNikodima waphendula wathi kuye: Kungenzeka kanjani lokhu na?
10 UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “Wena ungumfundisi ka-Israyeli, awuzazi lezi zinto na?
11 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Sikhuluma esikwaziyo, sifakaza ngesikubonileyo; kepha anibamukeli ubufakazi bethu.
12 Uma nginitshelile okusemhlabeni, ningakholwa, niyakukholwa kanjani, uma nginitshela okwasezulwini na?
13 Akakho nowenyukele ezulwini, kuphela yena owehla ezulwini, iNdodana yomuntu esezulwini.
14 Njengokuba uMose waphakamisa inyoka ehlane, kanjalo iNdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuphakanyiswa;
15 ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.
16 Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.
17 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kayithumanga iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuthi ilahle umhlaba; kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngaye.
18 Okholwa yiyo akalahlwa, kepha ongakholwayo uselahliwe, ngokuba engakholwanga egameni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa.
19 Nakhu ukulahlwa, ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile ezweni, kepha abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngokuba imisebenzi yabo yayimibi.
20 Ngokuba yilowo nalowo owenza okubi uzonda ukukhanya, akezi ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ingasolwa.
21 Kodwa owenza iqiniso uyeza ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ibonakaliswe ukuthi yenziwe kuNkulunkulu.
22 Emva kwalokho uJesu nabafundi bakhe baya ezweni laseJudiya; wahlala khona nabo, wabhapathiza.
23 Naye uJohane wayebhapathiza e-Enoni eduze neSalimi, ngokuba amanzi ayemaningi lapho; beza babhapathizwa.
24 Ngokuba uJohane wayengakaphonswa etilongweni.
25 Kwase kuba khona ukuphikisana phakathi kwabafundi bakaJohane nabaJuda ngokuhlambulula.
26 Base beza kuJohane, bathi kuye: “Rabi, lowo owayenawe ngaphesheya kweJordani, owafakaza ngaye, bheka, yena uyabhapathiza, futhi bonke beza kuye.
27 UJohane waphendula wathi: “Umuntu angemukeli lutho, uma engalunikwanga luvela ezulwini.
28 Nani ngokwenu niyangifakazela ukuthi ngathi: Angisuye uKristu mina, kodwa ngithunyiwe ngaphambi kwakhe.
29 Lowo onomakoti ungumyeni; kepha umngane womyeni, omiyo emuzwa, uthokoza kakhulu ngezwi lomyeni; ngakho lokhu kujabula kwami kugcwalisekile.
30 Yena umelwe ukukhula, kepha mina nginciphe.
31 Ovela phezulu uphezu kwabo bonke; ongowomhlaba ungowomhlaba, futhi ukhuluma okomhlaba;
32 Lokho akubonileyo lakuzwayo uyafakaza ngakho; njalo kakho owemukela ubufakazi bakhe.
33 Owamukele ubufakazi bakhe ubeke uphawu lokuthi uNkulunkulu uqinisile.
34 Ngokuba lowo uNkulunkulu amthumileyo ukhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba uNkulunkulu akamniki uMoya ngesilinganiso.
35 UYise uyayithanda iNdodana, njalo unikele zonke izinto esandleni sayo.
36 Okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; ongakholwa yiNdodana kayikubona ukuphila; kodwa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luhlezi phezu kwakhe.
