The Highway of Holiness

¹Kuyakujabula ihlane nogwadule, kuthokoze uqwathule, lukhahlele njengentebe.

²Luyakukhahlela kahle, luthokoze, yebo, luthokoze, luhube; luyakuphiwa udumo lweLebanoni, nobukhosi beKarmeli nobeSharoni, lubone inkazimulo kaJehova, nobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu wethu.

³Qinisani izandla ezibuthakathaka, nimise amadolo axegayo.

⁴Yishoni kwabanenhliziyo eyesabayo ukuthi: “Qinani, ningesabi; bhekani, uNkulunkulu wenu uyeza ngokuphindisela, impindiselo ivela kuNkulunkulu; nguye oza ukunisindisa.”

⁵Khona amehlo ezimpumputhe ayakuvulwa, zivuleke nezindlebe zezithulu.

⁶Khona unyonga luyakutshekula njengendluzele, nolimi lwesimungulu luyakuhuba, ngokuba ehlane kuyakubhoboka amanzi, nemifudlana kwahlongasibi.

⁷Isihlabathi esibengezelayo siyakuba yichibi, isigagadu sibe yimithombo yamanzi; ekhaya lamakhanka lapho ayebuthisa khona kuyakuba khona igceke lomhlanga nekhwani.

⁸Kuyakuba khona umendo nendlela eyakuthiwa iNdlela Yobungcwele; ongcolileyo akayikuhamba ngayo, kepha iyakuba ngeyabantu bakhe; abahamba ngayo, noma beyiziwula, abayikuduka kuyo.

⁹Akuyikuba khona lapho ingonyama, nesilwane esihahayo asiyikukhuphukela khona; lokho akuyikufunyanwa khona, kepha abakhululiweyo bayakuhamba ngayo.

¹⁰Abahlengiweyo bakaJehova bayakubuya baye eSiyoni ngokwethaba, intokozo engunaphakade ibe phezu kwamakhanda abo; bayakuthola ukujabula nokuthokoza, kubaleke usizi nokububula.
