Nantsi ke eyona nto: sinombingeleli omkhulu onjengoyu, owahlala phantsi ngasekunene kwetrone yobuKhulu emazulwini.

Wonke umbingeleli omkhulu umiselwe ukunikela izipho nemibingelelo; ngoko naye lo umelwe kukuba abe nento anokuyinikela. Ukuba ebesemhlabeni, ebengayi kuba ngumbingeleli, njengoko abanye besondeza izipho ngokomthetho.

Balungiselela umfanekiso nethunzi lezinto zasezulwini, njengoko uMoses waqononondiswa oko wayesele za kuwugqiba umnquba: wathi: “Khangela, wenze yonke into ngokomfuziselo owaboniswa wona entabeni.”

Kodwa ngoku uYesu ulufumene ulungiselelo olungcono, njengoko umnqophiso awulamlelayo ulunge ngakumbi, usekwe phezu kwamadinga angcono. Kuba ukuba lowo mnqophiso wokuqala ubungenasiphoso, bekungayi kubakho mfuneko yowesibini.

Kuba ngokufumana isiphoso kubo, uthi: “Khangela, kuza imihla, utsho uBawo wethu, endiya kwenza ngayo umnqophiso omtsha nendlu kaSirayeli nendlu kaYuda. Ungabi njengomnqophiso endawenza nooyise ngomhla endababambayo ngesandla, ukuba ndibakhokele baphume ezweni laseYiputa. Kuba abahlala emnqophisweni wam, ngoko ndabasusa emehlweni, utsho uBawo wethu. Kuba lo ngumnqophiso endiya kuwenza nendlu kaSirayeli emva kwezo ntsuku, utsho uBawo wethu ndiya kuyifaka imithetho yam ezingqondweni zabo, ndiyibhale ezintliziyweni zabo, ndibe nguBawo wabo, babe ngabantwana bam. Yaye akuyi kuphinda elowo afundise ummelwane wakhe, elowo nomnakwabo, esithi: “Mazi uBawo wethu,” kuba bonke baya kundazi, kuthabathela kwabancinane kubo kuse kwabakhulu. Kuba ndiya kuba nenceba ngobugwenxa babo, ndingabi sasikhumbula isono sabo.”

Ngokuthetha ngomnqophiso omtsha, usuke wenza owokuqala waba mdala. Ke oko kudala kuguga kusondele ekupheleni kwako.
