3 ¹Wathi kum: “Nyana womntu, yidla le nto uyifumanayo. Yidla le ncwadi, wandule uye kuthetha nendlu kaSirayeli.”

²Ndawuvula ke umlomo wam, wandinika le ncwadi ukuba ndiyidle.

³Wathi kum: “Nyana womntu, ondla isisu sakho, uzalise umbilini wakho ngale ncwadi ndikunika yona.” Ndayidla ke, yaza emlonyeni wam yamnandi njengobusi.

⁴Waza wathi kum: “Nyana womntu, yiya endlwini kaSirayeli, uthethe amazwi am kubo.

⁵“Kuba akuthunywa ebantwini bentetho efihlakeleyo nolwimi olunzima, koko uthunywa endlwini kaSirayeli; ⁶awuthunyelwanga ezizweni ezininzi zentetho efihlakeleyo nolwimi olunzima, ongenakuwaqonda amazwi azo. Inene, ukuba bendikuthumile kuzo, ngezikuphulaphule. ⁷Kodwa indlu kaSirayeli ayiyi kuvuma ukukuphulaphula, kuba ayivumi ukundiphulaphula mna; kaloku yonke indlu kaSirayeli ineentloko ezilukhuni neentliziyo ezineenkani. ⁸Yabona, ndibenze bulukhuni ubuso bakho njengobuso babo, nebunzi lakho ndilenze lalukhuni njengamabunzi abo. ⁹Ndilenze ibunzi lakho njengedayimani, lilukhuni ngaphezu kwentshengece. Musa ukuboyika, ungankwantyiswa bubuso babo, kuba bayindlu eneenkani.”

¹⁰Wathi kum: “Nyana womntu, onke amazwi am endiwathetha kuwe wawathabathele entliziyweni yakho, uwave ngeendlebe zakho. ¹¹Yiya kwabathinjiweyo, kubantu bakowenu, uthethe nabo. Uthi kubo: ‘Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi,’ nokuba bayeva nokuba bayala ukuva.”

¹²Waza uMoya kaBawo wethu wandiphakamisa, ndeva ngasemva kwam isandi esikhulu sokuvuthuza, sisithi: “Malubongwe uzuko lukaBawo wethu, luphuma kwindawo yakhe yokuhlala!” ¹³isandi samaphiko ezidalwa eziphilayo ekuchukumiseni kwawo omnye komnye, nesandi seevili ezingakuzo, isandi sokuvuthuza okukhulu. ¹⁴UMoya wandiphakamisa, wandithwala wemka nam, ndaza ndahamba ndikrakra, umoya wam uvutha ngaphakathi kwam, sinamandla phezu kwam isandla sikaBawo wethu. ¹⁵Ndafika kwabathinjiweyo eTeli-abhibhi, ngasemlanjeni iKebhare, ndahlala phakathi kwabo apho, ndikhwankqile, iintsuku ezisixhenxe.

UBawo Umisa Umlindi

¹⁶Ekupheleni kweentsuku ezisixhenxe, lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

¹⁷“Nyana womntu, ndikumisele umlindi wendlu kaSirayeli. Wothi wakuva ilizwi liphuma emlonyeni wam, ubaqononondise ngokuvela kum. ¹⁸Xa ndithe kongendawo: ‘Ngenene uya kufa,’ ungamqononondisanga, ungathethanga ukuze umqononondise ongendawo endleleni yakhe engendawo ukuze usindise ubomi bakhe, loo mntu ongendawo uya kufela isono sakhe, kodwa igazi lakhe ndolibuza esandleni sakho.

¹⁹“Kodwa ukuba umqononondisile ongendawo, waza akabuya ebubini bakhe nasendleleni yakhe engendawo, uya kufela isono sakhe, kodwa wena uya kuba ubusindisile ubomi bakho.

²⁰“Kanjalo, xa olilungisa ebuya ebulungiseni bakhe, enze ubugwenxa, ndize ndibeke isikhubekiso phambi kwakhe, uya kufa. Ekubeni ungamqononondisanga, uya kufela isono sakhe, nezenzo zakhe zobulungisa zingasakhunjulwa, ndize igazi lakhe ndilibuze esandleni sakho. ²¹Kodwa ukuba umqononondisile olilungisa ukuba angoni, waza akona, uya kuphila kuba waqononondiswa, wena ube usindisile ubomi bakho.”

²²Sasiphezu kwam apho isandla sikaBawo wethu, waza wathi kum: “Vuka, uphume uye ethafeni, ndiza kuthetha nawe khona.”

²³Ndavuka ke ndaya ethafeni, laza lwema khona uzuko lukaBawo wethu, lunjengozuko endalubona ngasemlanjeni iKebhare, ndawa ngobuso.

²⁴UMoya wangena kum, wandimisa ngeenyawo zam, wathetha nam, wathi: “Hamba, uzivalele ngaphakathi endlwini yakho. ²⁵Nawe, nyana womntu, baya kukubopha ngezintya, bakukhonkxe ngazo, ukuze ungaphumi uye phakathi kwabantu.

²⁶Ndiya kulunamathelisa ulwimi lwakho ekhuhlangubeni lakho; uya kuba sisidenge, ungabi nako ukubakhalimela, kuba bayindlu eneenkani. ²⁷Kodwa xa ndithetha nawe, ndiya kuwuvula umlomo wakho, uthi kubo: ‘Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi.’ Oya kuphulaphula, makaphulaphule; nozakwala, makale—kuba bayindlu eneenkani.”
