49 ¹Ndiphulaphuleni, ziqithi; bekani indlebe, nina zizwe ezikude. UBawo wethu wandibiza ndisesizalweni; ndisesisu sikama wandithiya igama lam. ^a a v1 Umkhonzi othetha kwesi sahluko nguYesu — iTestamente eNtsha izisebenzisa ezi vesi ngokuthe ngqo kuye (Luka 2:32; IZenzo 13:47). ²Wawenza umlomo wam njengekrele elibukhali; wandifihla ethunzini lesandla sakhe. Wandenza utolo olubengezelayo; wandisithelisa emphongolweni wakhe.

³Wathi kum: “Wena ungumkhonzi wam, Sirayeli, endiya kubonakalalisa uzuko lwam kuwe.” ^b b v3 Umkhonzi, uSirayeli wokwenene, uzaliseke kuYesu — Luka 2:32; IZenzo 13:47.

⁴Kodwa ndathi: “Ndisebenze ngelize; ndiwachithele into engento amandla am, ndasebenzela ngelize. Noko inene ubulungisa bam bukuBawo wam, nomvuzo wam ukuBawo wam.”

⁵Ke kaloku utsho uBawo wethu—lowo wandibumbayo ndisesizalweni ukuba ndibe ngumkhonzi wakhe, ukubuyisa uYakobi kuye, ukuze uSirayeli abuthelwe kuye, kuba ndihlonitshiwe emehlweni akhe, yaye uBawo wam waba ngamandla am,

⁶uthi: “Kuyinto encinane kakhulu kuwe ukuba ube ngumkhonzi wam ukuphakamisa izizwe zakwaYakobi nokubuyisa abo bagciniweyo kwaSirayeli; kananjalo ndiya kukwenza ube sisibane kweentlanga, ukuze usindiso lwam lufikelele eziphelweni zomhlaba.” ^c c v6 USimon wamphatha uYesu esengusana wambiza ngokuthi “sisibane kwiintlanga” (Luka 2:32), waza uPawulos wawasebenzisa la mazwi kanye kumsebenzi wakhe weentlanga (IZenzo 13:47). ⁷Utsho uBawo wethu, uMkhululi kaSirayeli, oyiNgcwele yakhe, kulowo udeliwe kakhulu, ocekisiweyo luhlanga, kumkhonzi wababusi: Ookumkani baya kubona basuke; abathetheli baya kuqubuda, ngenxa kaBawo wakho othembekileyo, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, okunyulileyo.

Umnqophiso Wabantu

⁸Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Ngexesha lofefe ndakuphendula, nangemini yosindiso ndakunceda; ndiya kukugcina, ndikunike ube ngumnqophiso wabantu, ukuvuselela ilizwe, ukulaba amafa abhuqiweyo, ⁹usithi kumakhonkxwa: “Phumani,” nakwabo basebumnyameni: “Zibonakaliseni.” Baya kudla ngasezindleleni, idlelo labo libe semimangweni yonke ebharhileyo.

¹⁰Abayi kulamba bengayi kunxanwa, bengayi kubethwa lulophu olutshisayo nalilanga, kuba lowo onemfesane ngabo uya kubakhokela, aze ngemithombo yamanzi abakhaphe bona. ¹¹Zonke iintaba zam ndiya kuzenza indlela, neendlela zam ezinkulu ziya kuphakanyiswa. ¹²Khangela—aba baya kuvela kude; khangela, aba bevela emntla nasentshonalanga, naba bevela ezweni laseSinim. ^d d v12 ISinim lilizwe elikude, mhlawumbi yiSyene (iAswan yanamhlanje) emazantsi eYiputa — kuchazwa umda okude abantwana bakaBawo wethu ababuya kuwo. ¹³Vumani ngovuyo, mazulu, ugcobe, mhlaba; gqabhukani ngengoma, zintaba! Kuba uBawo wethu ubathuthuzele abantu bakhe, aze abe nemfesane ngabacinezelweyo bakhe.

¹⁴Kodwa iZiyon yathi: “UBawo wethu undilahlile; iNkosi uBawo undilibele.”

¹⁵“Angalulibala na umfazi usana lwakhe aluanyisayo, ade angabi nemfesane kunyana wesizalo sakhe? Nkqu naba bangalibala, kodwa mna andiyi kukulibala wena. ^e e v15 Kuzo zonke iindinyana ezityhila intliziyo kaBawo wethu, le yenye yezithambileyo kunene. Nkqu nothando lukanina othembeke ngaphezu kwabo bonke lunokusilela — ke olukaBawo wethu alunakuze lusilele. ¹⁶Khangela—ndikukrolile ezintendeni zezandla zam; iindonga zakho zihlala ziphambi kwam. ¹⁷Bayakhawuleza ukubuya abantwana bakho; abo bakudilizayo bakwenza inkangala bayemka kuwe. ¹⁸Khangela ngeenxa zonke kuwe ubone: bonke bayabuthelana beze kuwe. Ndihleli nje mna, utsho uBawo wethu, uya kubafaka bonke njengesihombo; uzibophe njengomtshakazi. ¹⁹Inene amanxuwa akho neendawo zakho eziyinkangala nelizwe lakho elitshatyalalisiweyo—inene ngoku uya kubaxinela abemi bakho, baze abo bakuginyileyo babe kude. ²⁰Abantwana ababezelwe ngexesha lokuhluthwa kwakho baya kuthi usiva: ‘Le ndawo ixinene kakhulu kum; ndenzele indawo ukuze ndihlale.’ ²¹Uya kwandula uthi entliziyweni yakho: ‘Ngubani ondizalele aba? Bendihluthiwe ndiludlolo, ndathinjwa ndalahlwa—ngubani obakhulisileyo aba? Bendisele ndedwa; baphuma phi na aba?’

²²Utsho oku iNkosi uBawo: Khangela—ndiya kuphakamisela isandla sam ezintlangeni, ndimise umqondiso wam ezizweni; baze bazise oonyana bakho ezingalweni zabo, neentombi zakho zithwalwe emagxeni abo. ²³Ookumkani baya kuba ngoobawo abakukhulisayo, nookumkanikazi babo babe ngoonina bakho abakwanyisayo. Baya kuqubuda kuwe ngobuso emhlabeni, balikhothe uthuli lweenyawo zakho. Wandule wazi ukuba ndinguBawo wakho; abo bandilindeleyo abayi kudana.”

²⁴Linokuthatyathwa na ixhoba kwigorha, okanye abathinjwa bomcinezeli bahlangulwe na?

²⁵Kodwa utsho oku uBawo wethu: Nkqu nabathinjwa begorha baya kuthatyathwa, nexhoba lomcinezeli lihlangulwe; kuba mna ngokwam ndiya kubambana nabo babambana nawe, ndibasindise abantwana bakho. ²⁶Ndiya kubenza abacinezeli bakho bayidle inyama yabo, banxile ligazi labo njengokungathi babethe iwayini enencasa. Baze bonke abenyama bazi ukuba ndinguMsindisi wakho—uBawo wakho—noMkhululi wakho, iGorha lakwaYakobi.
