56  Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: “Qhubekani lisahlulela kuhle+ njalo lenze okulungileyo,Ngoba insindiso yami iyeza masinyane,Lokulunga kwami kuzabonakaliswa.+  2  Uyajabula umuntu okwenzayo lokhu,Lendodana yomuntu ebambelela kukho,Egcina iSabatha ingalingcolisi,+Ebamba isandla sayo ukuze singenzi loba yini embi.  3  Umuntu wesinye isizwe osebuye kuJehova+ akumelanga athi,‘UJehova uzangehlukanisa labantu bakhe sibili.’ Lomthenwa akumelanga athi, ‘Mina ngiyisihlahla esomileyo.’” 4  Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: “Abathenwa abagcina amasabatha ami, abakhetha ukwenza okungithokozisayo bebambelela esivumelwaneni sami,  5  Ngizabenza babe lebizo kanye lesikhumbuzo endlini yami langaphakathi kwemiduli yami,Izinto ezingcono ukwedlula amadodana lamadodakazi. Ngizabanika ibizo elizahlala kuze kube nini lanini,Ibizo elingasoze litshabalale.  6  Labezinye izizwe ababuya kuJehova ukuze bazomkhonza,Bathande ibizo likaJehova,+Lokuthi babe zinceku zakhe,Bonke abagcina iSabatha bangalingcolisi,Ababambelela esivumelwaneni sami,  7  Labo ngizabaletha entabeni yami engcwele,+Ngibenze bathokoze endlini yami yokuthandazela. Iminikelo yabo yokutshiswa egcweleyo lemihlatshelo yabo izakwamukelwa e-alithareni lami. Ngoba indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yokuthandazela yabantu bezizwe zonke.”+ 8  INkosi Enkulu uJehova, yona ebuthelela abako-Israyeli abasabaleleyo+ ithi: “Ngizaqoqela abanye kubo ngaphandle kwalabo abavele sebeqoqiwe.”+  9  Lina lonke zinyamazana zeganga buyani lizokudla,Lonke lina zinyamazana zeganga eziseguswini.+ 10  Abalindi bakhe bayiziphofu,+ kakho loyedwa onanzelelayo.+ Bonke bayizinja eziyizimungulu, ezingenelisiyo ukukhonkotha,+ Ezikhefuzela zilele phansi, ezithanda ukuwozela. 11  Bayizinja eziyizihwaba,Ezingasuthiyo. Bangabelusi abangazwisisiyo.+ Bonke bazihambela ngendlela yabo,Ngamunye wabo uzidingela inzuzo ngobuqili athi: 12  “Wozani, kahle ngibuye lewayini, Asibubhudleni sibusuthe utshwala.+Kusasa kuzakuba njengalamuhla kodwa kuzabe kulilanga elihle kakhulukazi!”
