uMoya kaBawo Uyandithambisa
Othanjisiweyo othethayo uyabachaza abo wayethunyelwe kubo: amahlwempu, abaphuke iintliziyo, abathinjwa, abalilayo eZiyon. Uthuthu lutshintshiswa ngesithsaba, nokudimazeka ngendumiso. UBawo wethu uthi uthanda okusesikweni, akuthiye ukuphanga, aze amanxuwa emizi akhiwe ngabo bahlazekileyo.
61 1uMoya weNkosi uBawo uphezu kwam, kuba uBawo wethu undithambisile ukuba ndizise iindaba ezilungileyo kumahlwempu. Undithumile ukuba ndibophe abaphuke iintliziyo, ndivakalise inkululeko kubathinjwa, nokukhululwa kwabo babotshwe ebumnyameni, a a v1 uYesu wawuqala umsebenzi wakhe wasesidlangalaleni ngokufunda la mazwi kanye endlwini yesikhungu yaseNazarete, wathi: “Namhlanje esi sibhalo sizalisekile ezindlebeni zenu” (ULuka 4:18-21). Umkhonzi othetha apha nguYesu — othanjiswe nguMoya, wathunywa nguBawo wethu. 2ukuvakalisa umnyaka wobabalo lukaBawo wethu nemini yempindezelo kaBawo wethu, ukuthuthuzela bonke abalilayo, 3ukunonophela abalilayo eZiyon—ukubanika isithsaba sobuhle endaweni yothuthu, ioli yemihlali endaweni yesijwili, ingubo yendumiso endaweni yomoya wokudimazeka; ukuze babizwe ngokuba yimioki yobulungisa, isityalo sikaBawo wethu, ukuze azukiswe.
4Baya kuwakha kwakhona amanxuwa amandulo, bazivuse iindawo ekudala zachithwayo; baya kuyilungisa imizi eyayingamanxuwa, ebe senkangala izizukulwana ezininzi. 5Abasemzini baya kwalusa imihlambi yakho; abolunye uhlanga baya kuba ngabalimi bakho nabasebenzi bezidiliya zakho. 6Kodwa nina niya kubizwa ngokuba ningababingeleli bakaBawo wethu; niya kuthiwa ningabalungiseleli bakaBawo wethu. Niya kudla ubutyebi beentlanga, nize niqhayise ngobuncwane bazo. 7Endaweni yehlazo lenu niya kwamkela isabelo esiphindwe kabini, endaweni yokucukucezwa niya kuvuyela ilifa lenu; ngoko niya kuba nesabelo esiphindwe kabini ezweni lenu, novuyo olungunaphakade loba lolwenu.
8“Kuba mna, uBawo wenu, ndithanda ubulungisa; ndikuthiyile ukuphanga nokungalungisi. Ngokuthembeka kwam ndiya kubavuza abantu bam, ndenze umnqophiso ongunaphakade nabo. 9Abantwana babo baya kwaziwa phakathi kweentlanga, nenzala yabo phakathi kwezizwe; bonke abababonayo baya kuvuma ukuba bangabantwana abasikelelwe nguBawo wethu.”
10Ndovuya kunene ngoBawo wethu; umphefumlo wam uxhume luvuyo ngoBawo wethu. Kuba undambathise iingubo zosindiso, wandigubungela ngengubo yokwaleka yobulungisa, njengomyeni ozihombisela intloko njengombingeleli, nanjengomtshakazi ozihombisa ngezihombo zakhe. b b v10 KumaSirayeli amandulo, abayeni babenxiba isihombo sentloko emtshatweni wabo, kanye njengababingeleli emsebenzini wasetempileni. 11Kuba njengokuba umhlaba uhlumisa amahlumelo awo, nanjengomyezo owenza oko kuhlwayelweyo kuhlume, ngokunjalo iNkosi uBawo uya kwenza ubulungisa nendumiso kuntshule phambi kweentlanga zonke.
