44 ¹Ke kaloku phulaphula ngoku, Yakobi mkhonzi wam, Sirayeli wena ndimnyulileyo. ²Utsho uBawo wethu, yena owakwenzayo, owakubumbayo kwasesizalweni, oya kukunceda, ukuthi: Musa ukoyika, Yakobi mkhonzi wam, Yeshurun wena ndimnyulileyo. ^a a v2 UYeshurun ligama elithambileyo, lesibongo likaSirayeli, elithetha ukuthi “othe tye” — ligama lothando kubantu uBawo wethu abanyulayo. ³Kuba ndiya kugalela amanzi phezu komhlaba onxaniweyo, nemisinga phezu komhlaba owomileyo; ndiya kuwuthulula uMoya wam phezu kwabantwana bakho, nentsikelelo yam phezu kwenzala yakho. ⁴Baya kuhluma phakathi kotyani njengemingculuba ngasemisingeni yamanzi. ⁵Omnye uya kuthi, ‘NdingokaBawo’; omnye uya kuzibiza ngegama likaYakobi; omnye kwakhona uya kubhala esandleni sakhe, ‘NgokaBawo,’ azithiye igama likaSirayeli.

Owokuqala nOwokugqibela

⁶Utsho uBawo wethu, uKumkani wakwaSirayeli noMkhululi wakhe, uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, ukuthi: Ndingowokuqala, ndingowokugqibela; ngaphandle kwam akukho thixo. ⁷Ngubani onjengam? Makakuvakalise. Makakuxele, akucacise phambi kwam, kususela kwimini endamisa ngayo abantu bamandulo. Mabaxele oku kuzayo, nale nto esazakubakho. ⁸Musani ukungcangcazela, ningoyiki. Andanixelela na kwakudala, ndakuvakalisa? Nina ningamangqina am. Ukhona na omnye uBawo ngaphandle kwam? Alikho iLiwa; mna andilazi.

⁹Bonke abenza izithixo baligwala, nezinto abazixabisayo azincedi lutho. Amangqina abo awaboni nto, akazi nto, ngenxa yoko adaniswe. ¹⁰Ngubani owenza uthixo, okanye otyhida umfanekiso, into engamncedi nto umenzi wayo? ¹¹Yabona—bonke abahlobo bakhe baya kudaniswa, kuba iingcibi zingabantu nje. Mabahlanganisane bonke, beme ndaweninye; baya kunkwantya baze badaniswe kunye.

¹²Umkhandi usibumba isixhobo sentsimbi, esisebenzela phezu kwamalahle; usenza ngezando, asiqinise ngengalo yakhe enamandla. Kodwa yena uyalamba, aphelelwe ngamandla; akaseli manzi, atyhafe. ¹³Umchweli wolula ulutya lokulinganisela, awuphawule umthi ngosiba; usenza ngezixholo, awuphawule ngekhampasi. Awumilise ube ngumfanekiso womntu, obunzwana bomntu, ukuba uhlale endlwini yoothixo. ¹⁴Ugawula imisedare, okanye akhethe umsipres okanye um-oki, awuyeke ukhule uqine phakathi kwemithi yehlathi. Utyala umsedare, imvula iwenze ukhule. ¹⁵Uwenze iinkuni. Uthabathe inxenye yawo azifudumeze; uphemba umlilo ose isonka. Kodwa kananjalo wenza uthixo awunqule; wenza umfanekiso aguqe phambi kwawo. ¹⁶Utshisa isiqingatha semithi emlilweni; phezu kwawo osa inyama, adle ahluthe, azifudumeze. Uthi: ‘Yho, ndifudumele; ndiyawuva umlilo.’ ¹⁷Ngoko oko kuseleyo akwenze uthixo, umfanekiso wakhe oqingqiweyo; aqubude kuwo awunqule, awuthandazele, athi: “Ndisindise, ngokuba unguthixo wam!”

¹⁸Abazi nto, abaqiqi nto; amehlo abo atyatyekiwe ukuze bangaboni, neentliziyo zabo kwangokunjalo, ukuze bangaqondi. ¹⁹Akukho namnye oyeka acinge, akukho namnye onokwazi nengqiqo yokuthi: “Isiqingatha sawo ndasitshisa emlilweni; nkqu nesonka ndosa phezu kwamalahle awo, ndosa inyama ndadla. Ngaba oko kuseleyo ndokwenza into elisikizi na? Ngaba ndokuqubuda isigodo somthi na?” ²⁰Udla uthuthu; intliziyo elahlekisiweyo imlahlekisile. Akanako ukuzisindisa, nokuthi: “Ngaba andibambanga buxoki na esandleni sam sokunene?”

²¹Zikhumbule ezi zinto, Yakobi, nawe, Sirayeli, ngokuba ungumkhonzi wam. Ndakubumba; ungumkhonzi wam. Sirayeli, andiyi kukulibala. ²²Ndizitshayele izikreqo zakho njengelifu, nezono zakho njengenkungu yakusasa. Buyela kum, ngokuba ndikukhululile.

²³Vumani, mazulu, ngokuba uBawo wethu ukwenzile oku! Dumani ngenkqu, nzulu yehlabathi. Gqabhukani niculeni, zintaba, hlathi, nemithi yonke ekulo! Ngokuba uBawo wethu umkhululile uYakobi, uzibonakalisa ubuqaqawuli bakhe kuSirayeli.

²⁴Utsho uBawo wethu—uMkhululi wakho, owakubumbayo kwasesizalweni: Mna ndinguBawo wakho, uMenzi wezinto zonke, lowo wawolula amazulu yedwa, owawanekayo umhlaba ndindedwa, ²⁵lowo uphuthisa imiqondiso yabaprofeti bobuxoki, abenze izidenge abavumisi, lowo uyibhukuqa imfundiso yezilumko, abuguqule ubuxoki ukwazi kwabo, ²⁶lowo uliqinisayo ilizwi lomkhonzi wakhe, aliphumeze icebo labathunywa bakhe, lowo uthi ngeJerusalem: “Iya kumiwa,” athi ngemizi yakwaYuda: “Iya kwakhiwa, ndiwamise namanxuwa ayo,” ²⁷lowo uthi kwenzonzobila: “Yoma; ndiya kuyitshisa imilambo yakho,” ²⁸lowo uthi ngoKoreshe: “Ungumalusi wam, uya kuwuphumeza wonke umnqweno wam”; athi ngeJerusalem: “Iya kwakhiwa,” athi ngetempile: “Isiseko sakho siya kubekwa.”
