Umkhonzi ukhula engenanto iqaphelekayo, engenabuhle obunokutsala nabani, edelwa ecekiswa. Utshintsho lufika xa abathethi bevuma ukuba babephambene: oko bebekubala njengesohlwayo kuye yayilityala labo, elabekwa phezu kwakhe nguBawo wethu.
53 1Ngubani na okholwe yintetho yethu? Yaye ingalo kaBawo wethu ityhilelwe kubani na? a a v1 "Ingalo" kaBawo wethu ngumfanekiso wamandla akhe osindiso esebenzayo. 2Kuba wakhula phambi kwakhe njengehlumelo elithambileyo, nanjengengcambu ephuma emhlabeni owomileyo; wayengenambonakalo nabungangamsha obunokubangela ukuba simkhangele, engenabuhle obunokusitsalela kuye. b b v2 UMkhonzi oBandezelekayo kaIsaya nguYesu — iTestamente eNtsha isebenzisa esi sahluko siphela kuye: eyoku-1 kaPetros 2:21-25, iZenzo 8:32-35, uMateyu 8:17, amaRoma 4:25. 3Wayedeliwe elahliwe ngabantu, indoda yeentlungu eqhelene nosizi; yaye enjengalowo abantu abazifihla kuye ubuso babo, wayedeliwe, asamgqalanga nto ngaye.
4Inene uzithwele iintlungu zethu, wazithwala nosizi lwethu; kodwa thina sambalela njengobethiweyo, ebethiwe nguBawo wethu, ecinezelwe. 5Kodwa wahlatywa ngenxa yokreqo lwethu; watyunyuzwa ngenxa yezono zethu; isohlwayo esasisizisela uxolo sasiphezu kwakhe, yaye ngamanxeba akhe siyaphiliswa. c c v5 Wenzakaliswa esikhundleni sethu — ethabatha isohlwayo esasifanele izono zethu ukuze thina senziwe siphilile. UPetros utsho ngokucacileyo: "ngamanxeba akhe niphilisiwe" (eyoku-1 kaPetros 2:24), ebhekisa kuYesu. 6Thina sonke, njengezimvu, silahlekile; sijikile, elowo, waya kweyakhe indlela; waza uBawo wethu wabeka phezu kwakhe isono sethu sonke.
7Wacinezelwa, wabandezeleka, kodwa akawuvula umlomo wakhe; njengetakane elisiwa ekuxhelweni, nanjengegusha ethe cwaka phambi kwabachebi bayo, ngokunjalo akawuvula umlomo wakhe. 8Ngocinezelo nangomgwebo wasuswa; ngubani na kwisizukulwana sakhe owayicinga le nto—ukuba wanqunyulwa kwilizwe labaphilileyo, wabethwa ngenxa yokreqo lwabantu bam? 9Bammisela ingcwaba kunye nabangendawo, nakunye nesityebi ekufeni kwakhe, nangona engenzanga gonyamelo, nenkohliso ingekho emlonyeni wakhe.
10Kanti ke yayikukuthanda kukaBawo wethu ukumtyumza nokumenza eve ubunzima; xa esenza ubomi bakhe umnikelo wetyala, uya kuyibona inzala yakhe, uya kudla ubomi obude, yaye ukuthanda kukaBawo wethu kuya kuphumelela ngaye. d d v10 Ukuthanda kukaBawo ukumtyumza uNyana kwakuluthando — emnikela njengomnikelo obuyisa abantwana bakhe ekhaya. UYohane 3:16. 11Emva kwembandezelo yomphefumlo wakhe uya kukubona ukukhanya aneliseke; ngokwazi kwakhe umkhonzi wam olilungisa uya kwenza abaninzi babe ngamalungisa, yaye uya kuzithwala izono zabo. e e v11 Kuzalisekile kuYesu, uMkhonzi olilungisa — eyoku-1 kaPetros 2:21-25; iZenzo 8:32-35. 12Ngako oko ndiya kumnika isabelo phakathi kwabaninzi, aze yena alabe amaxhoba nabanamandla, ngenxa yokuba ewuphalaze umphefumlo wakhe ekufeni, wabalwa kunye nabakreqi; kodwa wasithwala isono sabaninzi, yaye ubathethelela abakreqi.
