12 ¹Ngoko ke, njengokuba sijikelezwe lilifu elingaka lamangqina, masibulahle bonke ubunzima, naso isono esinamathele ngokuqinileyo, size sibaleke ngonyamezelo ugqatso olubekwe phambi kwethu. ²Sikhangele kuYesu, umseki nomfezekisi wokholo lwethu, owathi ngenxa yovuyo olwalubekwe phambi kwakhe, wawunyamezela umnqamlezo, edela ihlazo lawo, waza wahlala phantsi ngasekunene kwetrone kaBawo wethu. ³Khanicinge indlela awabunyamezela ngayo ubutshaba obungaka obabuvela kuboni bubhekiswe kuye, ukuze ningatyhafi, ningaphelelwa yithemba.

⁴Ekulweni kwenu nesono anikachasi naninzima ekuphalazeni igazi lenu. ⁵Niyilibele na intuthuzelo enithetha njengoonyana, esithi: “Nyana wam, musa ukuluthathela phantsi uqeqesho lukaBawo wethu, ungapheli mandla naxa ekohlwaya. ^a a v5 AmaHebhere acaphula iMizekeliso ukubonakalisa ukuba uqeqesho lukaBawo wethu lupawu olungenakuphikwa lothando lwakhe — uqeqesha oonyana neentombi zakhe njengoBawo, akaze abe njengomgwebi okude. ⁶Kuba uBawo wethu uyamqeqesha lowo amthandayo, aze amohlwaye wonke unyana amamkelayo.”

⁷Ninyamezela ngenxa yoqeqesho. UBawo wethu uniphatha njengoonyana; kuba nguwuphi unyana ongaqeqeshwayo nguyise? ⁸Ukuba aninalo uqeqesho olwabelwana ngalo bonke abantwana, ningabantwana abazelwe ngaphandle komtshato, ningenguye oonyana. ⁹Kananjalo besinabo oobawo bethu benyama ababesiqeqesha, saza sabahlonela. Asimelwe na kakhulu kunoko kukuzithoba kuBawo woomoya, size siphile? ¹⁰Bona babesiqeqesha umzuzwana ngokubona kwabo; yena usiqeqesha ngenxa yokusilungela, ukuze sibelane naye ubungcwele bakhe. ¹¹Okwangoku lonke uqeqesho alubonakali lumnandi, lubonakala lubuhlungu; kodwa emva koko luvelisa isiqhamo esinoxolo sobulungisa kwabo baqeqeshwe ngalo. ¹²Ngoko ke, ziphakamiseni izandla zenu ezidangeleyo, niwomeleze namadolo enu abuthathaka, ¹³nize nenze iindlela ezithe tye zeenyawo zenu, ukuze isiqhwala singapheluki, kodwa endaweni yoko siphiliswe.

Phuthumani Uxolo Nobungcwele

¹⁴Phuthumani uxolo nabo bonke abantu, nobungcwele obuthi ngaphandle kwabo akukho namnye uya kumbona uBawo wethu. ¹⁵Lumkani ukuba kungabikho namnye osilelayo elubabalweni lukaBawo wethu, ukuba kungabikho ngcambu yobukrakra iphuma ikhulise inkathazo, yenze abaninzi babe yinqambi, ¹⁶ukuba kungabikho namnye ongcolileyo ngombulo okanye ongengcwele njengoEsawu, owathengisa ngobuzibulo bakhe ngesidlo esinye. ¹⁷Niyazi ukuba emva koko, akuba ethanda ukulidla ilifa lentsikelelo, wacekiswa, kuba akazuzanga thuba lokubuyisa isigqibo, nangona wayifuna intsikelelo ngeenyembezi. ^b b v17 UEsawu wathengisa ngobuzibulo bakhe ngesidlo esinye (Gen 25), waza kamva akaba nakho ukuyibuyisa intsikelelo kayise, nokuba wayililela (Gen 27:34–38).

¹⁸Kuba anizanga eyinto enokuchukunyiswa, nasemlilweni ovuthayo, nasebumnyameni, nasesithokothokweni, nasesaqhwithini, ¹⁹nasesandini sesigodlo, nasezwini lamazwi, abalivayo babongoza ukuba kungabi saba kho nelithethwayo kubo. ²⁰Kuba babengenako ukumnyamezela umthetho othi: “Kwanesilwanyana xa sithe sachukumisa intaba, masigityiselwe ngamatye.” ²¹Inene, yayoyikeka kangaka into eyabonwayo, kangangokuba uMoses wathi: “Ndinkwantya luloyiko.”

²²Kodwa nina nize entabeni yeZiyon, nasemzini kaBawo ophilileyo, iYerusalem yasezulwini, nasezithunyweni ezingenakubalwa zisemsitho onemihlali, ²³nasebandleni lamazibulo abhaliswe emazulwini, nakuBawo wethu, umgwebi wabantu bonke, nasemimoyeni yamalungisa afezekisiweyo, ²⁴nakuYesu, umlamleli womnqophiso omtsha, nasegazini elitshiziweyo elithetha ilizwi elingcono kunegazi lika-Abheli.

²⁵Lumkani ukuba ningamali lowo uthethayo. Kuba ukuba abo babala lowo wayebalumkisa emhlabeni abasindanga, siya kungakanani thina, ukuba sithe sajika kuye lowo ulumkisayo esezulwini.

²⁶Ngelo xesha ilizwi lakhe lawunyikimisa umhlaba; ngoku ke uthembisile, esithi: “Kusekunye okunye endiya kuwunyikimisa ngako kungekuphela nje umhlaba kodwa namazulu.” ^c c v26 Icatshulwe kuHagayi 2:6 — isithembiso sikaBawo wethu sokunyikimisa okokugqibela, okukhulu, kwendalo yonke.

²⁷La mazwi athi “Kusekunye okunye” abonakalisa ukususwa kwezinto ezinyikimisiweyo—oko kukuthi, izinto ezadalwayo—ukuze kuhlale ezo zingenyikimiswayo. ²⁸Ngoko ke, njengokuba samkela ubukumkani obungenyikimiswayo, masibambelele ekubuleleni, size sinikele kuBawo wethu unqulo olukholekileyo, ngentlonelo nangoloyiko, ²⁹kuba uBawo wethu ungumlilo odlayo.
