Izililo 3 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

3 ¹Ndim indoda ebonileyo imbandezelo phantsi kwentonga yomsindo wakhe. ²Undigxothile, wandihambisa ebumnyameni kungekho kukhanya. ³Inene undijikela isandla sakhe kaninzi, imini yonke.

⁴Uyonakalisile inyama yam nolusu lwam; uwaphule amathambo am. ⁵Undingqingile, wandirhawula ngokukrakra nangobunzima. ⁶Undenze ndahlala ebumnyameni njengabo bafa kudala.

⁷Undivalele ukuze ndingaphumi; uyisindisile imixokelelwane yam. ⁸Nokuba ndithe ndamemeza ndakhala ndicela uncedo, uyawuvingca umthandazo wam. ⁹Uzivingcile iindlela zam ngamatye aqingqiweyo; uyigobisile imendo yam.

¹⁰Uyibhere endilalelayo, uyingonyama ezimeleyo. ¹¹Undikhwelelise endleleni yam, wandidlavula; undenze ndaba senkangala. ¹²Usathulule isaphetha sakhe, wandimisa ndaba litekena lotolo lwakhe.

¹³Uzidubulele ezibilinini zam iintolo zomphongolo wakhe. ¹⁴Ndibe yintlekisa kubantu bam bonke, ndiyingoma yabo yokuhlekisa imini yonke. ¹⁵Undizalisile ngokukrakra; undihluthisile ngokukrakra.

¹⁶Undenze ukuba amazinyo am aqwengexe esantini, wandiqengqisa eluthulini. ¹⁷Umphefumlo wam uphelelwe luxolo lonke; ndilulibele usizi lokuba yintoni na. ¹⁸Ndathi ke: “Lunqamkile unyamezelo lwam, nethemba lam elivela kuBawo wethu.”

¹⁹Khumbula imbandezelo yam nokubhadula kwam, ubukrakra nenyongo! ^a a v19 Yintsika yale ncwadi. Emva kokucela uBawo wethu ukuba akhumbule imbandezelo yakhe, imbongi ijika kwangoko kuloo nto iya kuyikhumbula yona ngokwayo — ize ifumane inceba entsha rhoqo kusasa. ²⁰Umphefumlo wam uyayikhumbula ngamaxesha onke, uthobekile ngaphakathi kum. ²¹Kodwa le nto ndiyikhumbula entliziyweni yam, ngoko ke ndinethemba:

²²Uthando lomnqophiso kaBawo wethu alunqamki; iinceba zakhe azipheli; ²³zintsha ukusa ngokusa; kukhulu ukuthembeka kwakho. ²⁴“UBawo wethu nguye yedwa endimfunayo,” utsho umphefumlo wam, “ngoko ke ndiya kulindela kuye.”

²⁵UBawo wethu ulungile kwabo bamlindeleyo, kuwo umphefumlo omfunayo. ²⁶Kulungile ukuthi cwaka ulindele usindiso lukaBawo wethu. ²⁷Kulungile ukuba indoda ithwale idyokhwe ebutsheni bayo.

²⁸Mayihlale yodwa ithe cwaka xa ibekwe phezu kwayo; ²⁹mayibeke umlomo wayo eluthulini—mhlawumbi ikho nethemba; ^b b v29 Ukubeka umlomo womntu eluthulini yayisisimo samandulo sokuzithoba ngokupheleleyo nokuzinikela phambi koThixo. ³⁰mayinikele isidlele sayo kulowo uyibethayo, izale ziingcikivo.

³¹Kuba iNkosi enguBawo wethu ayisayi kusishiya ngonaphakade. ³²Nangona esenza ukuba kubekho usizi, uya kuba nemfesane ngokobuninzi bothando lwakhe lomnqophiso; ³³kuba akabacinezeli ngabom okanye abenze lusizi abantu. ^c c v33 Nantsi indawo yokujika yale ncwadi iphela: uBawo wethu akalimazi evela entliziyweni yakhe. Umgwebo wakhe ngowokwenyaniso, kodwa asiyonto akholiswa yiyo — imfesane yakhe isoloko ihlala ixesha elide kunesohlwayo sakhe.

³⁴Ukutyumza phantsi kweenyawo onke amakhonkxwa ehlabathini, ³⁵ukusijika isigwebo somntu phambi koPhezukonke, ³⁶ukumphatha gwenxa umntu ebambanweni lwakhe—iNkosi uBawo wethu ayikuvumi oko.

³⁷Ngubani na othethileyo kwaza kwenzeka, ingayalelwanga yiNkosi uBawo wethu? ³⁸Akuphumi na emlonyeni woPhezukonke kokubi nokulungileyo ngokufanayo? ³⁹Yini na ukuba umntu ophilayo akhalaze ngesohlwayo sezono zakhe?

⁴⁰Masizihlole sizicikide iindlela zethu, sibuyele kuBawo wethu! ⁴¹Masiziphakamisele iintliziyo zethu nezandla zethu kuBawo wethu osemazulwini: ⁴²“Sonile saza sagwilika, kodwa wena akuxolelanga.

⁴³Uzigubungele ngomsindo waza wasukela thina, ubulala ungenanceba; ⁴⁴uzigubungele ngelifu ukuze kungabikho mthandazo udlulayo. ⁴⁵Usenze inkunkuma namanyala phakathi kwezizwe.

⁴⁶Zonke iintshaba zethu zivule imilomo yazo zisichasa; ⁴⁷umothuko nomgongxo kwehlele phezu kwethu, intshabalalo nembubho.” ⁴⁸Amehlo am ampompoza imijelo yamanzi ngenxa yembubho yabantu bam.

⁴⁹Amehlo am aya kumpompoza engayeki, engaphumli, ⁵⁰ade uBawo wethu aqondele abone esezulwini. ⁵¹Amehlo am abuhlungisa umphefumlo wam ngenxa yesiphelo seentombi zonke zomzi wam.

⁵²Ndizingelwe njengentaka ngabo babaziintshaba zam ngelize; ⁵³Bandiphosa emgongxweni ndisaphila, baza bandigibisela ngamatye; ⁵⁴amanzi agubungela intloko yam; ndathi: “Ndiphelile.”

⁵⁵Ndalibiza igama lakho, Bawo, ndisezinzulwini zomhadi; ⁵⁶Wasiva isikhungo sam: “Musa ukuzivalela iindlebe zakho isikhalo sam sokucela uncedo!”

⁵⁷Wasondela ngemini endakubiza ngayo; wathi: “Musa ukoyika!”

⁵⁸Ulibambile ibango lam, Nkosi, Bawo wethu; uwukhululile umphefumlo wam. ⁵⁹Ububonile ububi obenziwe kum, Bawo; ligwebe ibango lam. ⁶⁰Uyibonile yonke impindezelo yabo, onke amayelenqe abo ngakum.

⁶¹Usivile isingcikivo sabo, Bawo, onke amayelenqe abo ngakum, ⁶²imilebe nezicamango zabandivukelayo ngakum imini yonke. ⁶³Khangela ukuhlala kwabo nokuvuka kwabo; ndiyintlekisa yengoma yabo.

⁶⁴Uya kubabuyekeza, Bawo, ngokomsebenzi wezandla zabo. ⁶⁵Uya kubanika ubulukhuni bentliziyo; isiqalekiso sakho siya kuba phezu kwabo. ⁶⁶Uya kubasukela ngomsindo ubatshabalalise ngaphantsi kwamazulu kaBawo wethu.
