25 1UnguBawo wam; ndiya kukuphakamisa, ndiya kulidumisa igama lakho, kuba wenze izinto ezibalulekileyo— amacebo awenziwa kwakudala, athembekileyo neqinisekileyo. 2Kuba umzi uwenze yimfumba yezinto ezidilikileyo, umzi onqatyisiweyo waba ngamanxuwa; ibhotwe labasemzini aliseyomzi— aliyi kuze liphinde lakhiwe. 3Ngenxa yoko abantu abanamandla baya kukuzukisa; umzi weentlanga ezingenanceba uya kukoyika. 4Kuba uye waba sisabelo kumahlwempu, isabelo kwabasweleyo ekubandezelekeni kwabo, isithe kwisiphango nomthunzi ebushushini; kuba umphunga wabangenanceba unjengesiphango esivuthuzela udonga. 5Njengobushushu ezweni elomileyo, uyayithomalalisa ingxokozelo yabasemzini; njengobushushu buthotywa ngumthunzi welifu, ngokunjalo ingoma yabangenanceba iyathuliswa. 6Phezu kwale ntaba uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini uya kulungiselela zonke izizwe isidlo sokudla okutyebileyo, isidlo sewayini endala—inyama entle kunene newayini ezindala kakuhle. 7Yaye phezu kwale ntaba uya kusiginya isigqubuthelo esizisonge zonke izizwe, umkhusane owolulwe phezu kweentlanga zonke. 8Uya kukuginya ukufa ngonaphakade; iNkosi enguBawo iya kuzisula iinyembezi kubuso bonke, aze asuse ingcikivo yabantu bakhe emhlabeni wonke—kuba uBawo wethu utshilo. a a v8 UPawulos uyasebenzisa esi sibhalo koloyiso lovuko lukaYesu—“Ukufa kuginyiwe koloyiso” (1 Kor 15:54). Isithembiso sikaBawo apha sizalisekiswa engcwabeni elingenanto; imini uBawo wethu asula ngayo zonke iinyembezi ivulwa nguNyana oweyise ukufa.
9Yaye ngaloo mini kuya kuthiwa: “Khangela, lo nguBawo wethu; besimlindele, waza wasisindisa. Lo nguBawo; besimlindele— masivuye sigcobe kulo usindiso lwakhe.” 10Kuba isandla sikaBawo wethu siya kuphumla phezu kwale ntaba, kodwa uMowabhi uya kunyathelwa endaweni yakhe, njengokuba umququ unyathelwa emgongxweni womgquba. b b v10 UMowabhi wayesisizwe samandulo ngasempumalanga yoMlambo iYordan, utshaba olwakudala lwamaSirayeli, osetyenziswa apha njengomfuziselo wabo bonke abachasene noThixo. 11Uya kuzolula izandla zakhe phakathi koMowabhi njengoko odadayo ezolula izandla zakhe ukuze adade, kodwa uya kukuthoba ukukhukhumala kwabo kunye nobuqhophololo bezandla zabo. 12Iindonga eziphakamileyo zenqaba yakho uya kuzithoba, azidilize, aziphose emhlabeni, eluthulini.
