AmaHubo 37

¹Ungazikhathazi ngabantu ababi

²ngoba bazabuna masinyane njengotshani,

³Themba kuThixo wenze okulungileyo;

⁴Zithokozise kuThixo

⁵Nikela indlela zakho kuThixo;

⁶Uzakwenza ukulunga kwakho kukhazimule njengentathakusa,

⁷Chuma phambi kukaThixo

⁸Xwayana lokuzonda njalo ufulathele intukuthelo;

⁹Ngoba abantu ababi bazasuswa,

¹⁰Kuseyisikhatshana nje, ababi bazabe bengasekho;

¹¹Kodwa abathobekileyo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe

¹²Ababi baceba ukulimaza abalungileyo

¹³kodwa iNkosi iyabahleka ababi,

¹⁴Ababi bakhokha inkemba,

¹⁵Kodwa izinkemba zabo zizagwaza ezabo inhliziyo,

¹⁶Kungcono ingcosana leyo abalayo abalungileyo

¹⁷ngoba amandla ababi azaqedwa,

¹⁸Insuku zabangelasici ziyaziwa nguThixo,

¹⁹Ngezikhathi zomonakalo abayikubuna;

²⁰Kodwa ababi bazabhubha;

²¹Ababi bayaboleka kodwa kababuyiseli,

²²labo uThixo ababusisayo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe;

²³Nxa uThixo ethokoziswa yikuhamba komuntu,

²⁴loba angakhubeka, kayikuwa,

²⁵Ngangimutsha, manje sengiluphele,

²⁶Bayaphana kokuphela njalo bayebolekana nje;

²⁷Phendukani ebubini lenze ukulunga

²⁸Ngoba uThixo uthanda abalungileyo

²⁹abalungileyo bazazuza ilifa lelizwe

³⁰Umlomo womuntu olungileyo ukhuluma ukuhlakanipha,

³¹Umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakhe usenhliziyweni yakhe;

³²Ababi bacathamela abalungileyo

³³kodwa uThixo kayikubayekela bazenzele abakuthandayo

³⁴Lindelani uThixo ligcine indlela yakhe.

³⁵Sengike ngabona umuntu omubi olesihluku

³⁶kodwa waphanga wafa kabe esabakhona;

³⁷Nanzelela abangelecala, qaphela abaqotho.

³⁸Kodwa zonke izoni zizabhujiswa;

³⁹Ukusindiswa kwabalungileyo kuvela kuThixo;

⁴⁰UThixo uyabasiza abakhulule;
