43 ¹Kodwa ngoku, nanku okuthethwa nguBawo wethu—yena owakudalayo, Yakobi, yena owakubumbayo, Sirayeli: Musa ukoyika, kuba ndikukhululile; ndikubize ngegama lakho, ungowam. ²Xa uwela emanzini, ndiya kuba nawe; nasemilanjeni, ayiyi kukukhukula wena. Xa uhamba emlilweni, akuyi kutsha, nelangatye aliyi kukudla. ³Kuba ndim uBawo wakho, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, uMsindisi wakho. Ndiyinikele iYiputa njengentlawulelo yakho, uKushi noSebha endaweni yakho. ^a a v3 UKushi (iSudan ne-Itiyopiya yanamhlanje) noSebha yayiyimimandla yobumelwane yasemntla-mpuma weAfrika. ⁴Ngenxa yokuba uxabisekile emehlweni am, ubezukile, ndaye ndikuthanda, ndinika abantu endaweni yakho, nezizwe endaweni yobomi bakho. ⁵Musa ukoyika, kuba ndinawe. Ndiya kuzisa inzala yakho ivela empumalanga, ndikubuthe uvela entshonalanga. ⁶Ndiya kuthi kumntla: Bayeke bahambe, nakumzantsi: Musa ukubabamba; ndibabuyise oonyana bam bevela emazweni akude, neentombi zam zivela eziphelweni zehlabathi, ⁷bonke ababizwa ngegama lam, endabadalela uzuko lwam, endababumbayo ndabenza. ⁸Khupha abantu abanamehlo kodwa beziimfama, abaneendlebe kodwa bezizithulu. ⁹Zonke iintlanga maziqokelelane, nezizwe mazihlanganisane. Ngubani phakathi kwazo onokukuxela oku, asixelele izinto zangaphambili? Mazilethe iintlanga amangqina azo ukuze zingqinelwe ukuba zinyanisile, ukuze abanye beve bathi: Kuyinyaniso. ¹⁰Ningamangqina am, utsho uBawo wethu, nomkhonzi wam endimnyulileyo, ukuze nazi nikholwe kum, niqonde ukuba ndim yena. Akukho thixo wabunjwa phambi kwam, akukho oya kuza emva kwam. ¹¹Mna, ndim uBawo wakho, ngaphandle kwam akukho msindisi. ¹²Ndaxela, ndasindisa, ndavakalisa, kungekho thixo wasemzini phakathi kwenu; yaye ningamangqina am, utsho uBawo wethu, yaye ndim uBawo wakho. ¹³Kususela kule mini ndim yena; akukho namnye onokuhlangula esandleni sam. Ndiyenza, ngubani ke onokukubuyisa umva?

Indlela Phakathi Entlango

¹⁴Nanku okuthethwa nguBawo wethu—uMkhululi wakho, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli: Ngenxa yakho ndithuma eBhabhilon, ndibehlise bonke babe ngabasabi, amaBhabhilon, kwiinqanawa abaqhayisa ngazo. ¹⁵Ndim uBawo wakho, oyiNgcwele wakho, uMdali kaSirayeli, uKumkani wakho.

¹⁶Nanku okuthethwa nguBawo wethu—yena owenza indlela elwandle, umendo phakathi kwamanzi anamandla,

¹⁷owakhupha inqwelo yokulwa nehashe, umkhosi negorha kunye—bona balele phantsi abanakuvuka, bacinyiwe, bacinywe njengentambo yesibane: ¹⁸Musani ukuzikhumbula izinto zangaphambili, ningazigqali izinto zakudala. ¹⁹Khangelani, ndenza into entsha; ngoku iyahluma—aniyiboni na? Ndiya kwenza indlela entlango, nemilambo enkangala. ²⁰Iinyamakazi zasendle ziya kundizukisa, iimpungutye neenciniba, ngenxa yokuba ndinika amanzi entlango, nemilambo enkangala, ukuze ndiseze abantu bam endibanyulileyo, ²¹abantu endizibumbele bona, ukuze baxele indumiso yam.

²²“Kanti akundinqulanga, Yakobi; udiniwe ndim, Sirayeli. ²³Awundiziselanga iimvu zamadini akho anyukayo, akundizukisanga ngemibingelelo yakho. Andikuthwalisanga ngeminikelo yokudla, andikudinisanga ngentlaka emhlophe. ²⁴Awundithengelanga ikalamo evumba limnandi ngemali, akundihluthisanga ngenqatha lemibingelelo yakho. Kunoko, undithwalise izono zakho; undidinisile ngokungalungisi kwakho.

²⁵“Mna, ndim lowo ocima izikreqo zakho ngenxa yam, andiyi kuzikhumbula izono zakho. ^b b v25 Phakathi kanye kwesimangalo, uBawo wethu uyangenelela ukuze athembise uxolelo lwasimahla — ecima izono ngenxa yakhe, ekhetha ukuba angaze aphinde azivuse. ²⁶Ndikhumbuze; masibambane sonke; thetha isimangalo sakho, ukuze ugwetyelwe. ²⁷Uyihlo wokuqala wona, abathetheli bakho bandikreqela. ^c c v27 Uyihlo wokuqala mhlawumbi ubhekisa kuYakobi okanye ku-Abraham, ukhokho oyintsusa yakwaSirayeli. ²⁸Ngoko ndazingcolisa izikhulu zengcwele; ndamnika uYakobi entshabalalweni, noSirayeli ekungcikivweni.”
