UBawo Wethu Uthethile
Intshumayelo enzulu ebonisa uKrestu njengogqithileyo kwizithunywa zezulu, kuMoses, nakububingeleli bakudala—uMbingeleli oMkhulu ovula indlela esa kuBawo wethu.
1 1Kwemihla yamandulo, ngamaxesha amaninzi nangeendlela ezininzi, uBawo wethu osemazulwini wathetha koobawo bethu ngabaprofeti. 2Kodwa kule mihla yokugqibela uthethe kuthi ngoNyana wakhe, awammisa waba yindlalifa yezinto zonke, awathi ngaye wayenza nendalo yonke. 3UNyana ukukuqaqamba kobuqaqawuli bukaBawo wethu, ungumfanekiselo kanye wobukho bakhe, ezixhasa zonke izinto ngelizwi lakhe elinamandla. Akuba ezihlambulule izono, wahlala phantsi ngasekunene kobuKhulu emazulwini. 4Waba mkhulu kunezithunywa zezulu kangangokuba igama awalidla njengelifa likhulu ngaphezu kwazo.
5Kuba nguwuphi na kwizithunywa zezulu uBawo wethu awakha wathi kuwo: “Wena unguNyana wam; namhla ndibe nguyihlo”? Okanye kwakhona: “Ndiya kuba nguyise, naye abe nguNyana wam”? a a v5 Apha uBawo wethu uthetha amazwi ezithembiso ezibini zeTestamente eNdala — iNdumiso yesi-2 nesithembiso esenzelwa uDavide — ize iTestamente eNtsha ibonise ukuba zifikelela ekuzalisekeni kwazo ngoYesu, uNyana ongunaphakade.
Ngaphezulu Kakhulu Kwezithunywa Zezulu
6Kananjalo, xa engenisa izibulo ehlabathini, uthi: “Mazimnqule zonke izithunywa zam zezulu.” 7Ngokubhekisele kuzo izithunywa zezulu uthi: “Wenza izithunywa zakhe zezulu zibe yimimoya, nabalungiseleli bakhe babe ngamadangatye omlilo.”
8Kodwa ngokubhekisele kuNyana uthi: “Itrone yakho, Thixo, ngunaphakade kanaphakade, nentonga yobulungisa yintonga yobukumkani bakho. b b v8 Kule ndawo yeTestamente eNdala ecatshuliweyo, uBawo wethu ubhekisa kuNyana aze ambize ngokuba nguThixo — oyena mbhalo ucacileyo eBhayibhileni obonisa ukuba uNyana wabelana noBawo ngesazisi sakhe sobuthixo. 9Ubuthandile ubulungisa, wabuthiya ububi; ngenxa yoko uBawo wethu, uYihlo, ukuthambisile ngeoli yemihlali ngaphezu kwabalingane bakho.”
10Kananjalo: “Ekuqaleni, Nkosi, wazibeka iziseko zehlabathi, namazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho. c c v10 Apha uBawo ubhekisa kuNyana embiza ngeNkosi, emmisa njengalowo wasekayo iziseko zehlabathi. Umsebenzi wokudala kaNyana, ochazwe kwindinyana yesi-2, ngoku uchazwa nguBawo ngokwakhe. 11Wona aya kutshabalala, kodwa wena uhleli; wonke aya konakala njengengubo. 12Uya kuwasonga njengengubo yokwaleka; njengengubo aya kuguqulwa. Kodwa wena unguye kwa lowo, neminyaka yakho ayiyi kuphela.”
13Kodwa nguwuphi na kwizithunywa zezulu uBawo wethu awakha wathi kuwo: “Hlala ngasekunene kwam, ndide ndenze iintshaba zakho zibe sisihlalo seenyawo zakho”?
14Azingomoya abalungiselela na onke amazithunywa zezulu, athunyelwe ukuba akhonze abo baza kudla ilifa usindiso?
