6 ¹“Lumkani ningabenzeli abantu ubulungisa benu ukuze nibonakale kubo, kuba ukuba kunjalo aniyi kuba nawo umvuzo kuYihlo osemazulwini. ²Ngoko ke xa unika amahlwempu, uze ungakudandalazisi ngesigodlo, njengokuba benjenjalo abahanahanisi ezindlwini zesikhungu nasezitratweni, ukuze badunyiswe ngabantu. Inene, ndithi kuni: Sebewamkele ngokupheleleyo umvuzo wabo. ³Kodwa wena xa unika amahlwempu, isandla sakho sasekhohlo masingakwazi oko kwenziwa sesasekunene, ⁴ukuze isipho sakho sihlale sisesithe. UYihlo, lowo ubona esithe, uya kukubuyekeza.

Thandaza kuYihlo Esithe

⁵“Xa uthandaza, uze ungabi njengabahanahanisi, abathandayo ukuthandaza bemi ezindlwini zesikhungu nasezimbombeni zezitrato, ukuze babonakale ebantwini. Inene, ndithi kuni: Sebewamkele ngokupheleleyo umvuzo wabo. ⁶Kodwa wena xa uthandaza, ngena egumbini lakho, uluvale ucango, uthandaze kuYihlo osesithe. UYihlo lowo ubona esithe uya kukubuyekeza. ⁷Xa nithandaza, uze ungambombozeli njengabo bangamaziyo uBawo, kuba becinga ukuba baya kuviwa ngobuninzi bamazwi abo. ⁸Uze ungabi njengabo, kuba uYihlo uyakwazi oko ukusweleyo ungekaceli kuye. ⁹Ngoko ke, nithandaze ngolu hlobo: ‘Bawo wethu osemazulwini, malingcwaliswe igama lakho, ^a a v9 UYesu umema abalandeli bakhe ukuba beze kuBawo wethu ngobusondelelene kanye njengobo yena ngokwakhe abunandipheleyo — kungekhona njengabakhonzi abakude, kodwa njengabantwana abathandekayo baloo Bawo mnye. ¹⁰mabufike ubukumkani bakho, makwenzeke ukuthanda kwakho emhlabeni, njengoko kunjalo emazulwini. ¹¹Siphe namhla isonka sethu semihla ngemihla. ¹²Usixolele amatyala ethu, njengokuba nathi sibaxolela abo banamatyala kuthi. ¹³Ungasingenisi ekuhendweni, kodwa usihlangule kongendawo.’ ^b b v13 Iikopi zexeshana elilandelayo zivala lo mthandazo ngelithi: "Kuba bobakho ubukumkani namandla nozuko ngonaphakade. Amen." La mazwi akakho kwimibhalo-ngqangi yokuqala; angena kulo mthandazo evela kunqulo lwecawa yamandulo, apho baninzi abasathanda ukuwathetha.

¹⁴“Kuba ukuba nithe nabaxolela abantu izono zabo, uYihlo osemazulwini uya kunixolela nani. ¹⁵Kodwa ukuba anithanga nibaxolele abantu izono zabo, akayi kunixolela nani uYihlo izono zenu.

Zilela uYihlo Yedwa Ukudla

¹⁶“Xa nizila ukudla, uze ungabonakali ulusizi njengabahanahanisi—kuba benkwantyisa ubuso babo ukuze babonakalise ebantwini ukuba bayazila ukudla. Inene, ndithi kuni, bawamkele ngokupheleleyo umvuzo wabo. ¹⁷Kodwa wena xa uzila ukudla, thambisa intloko yakho ngeoli, uhlambe ubuso bakho, ^c c v17 Ukuthambisa intloko ngeoli yayisisiqhelo semihla ngemihla sokuzilungisa kwinkcubeko kaYesu — injongo kukuba nje ubonakale uyilaa mntu uqhelekileyo, ozilungisileyo. ¹⁸ukuze ungabonakali ebantwini ukuba uzilile, kodwa kuphela kuYihlo, lowo ufihlakeleyo. Ngoko ke uYihlo, lowo ubona oko kufihlakeleyo, uya kukubuyekeza.

Fumba Ubutyebi kuYihlo

¹⁹“Uze ningazifumbeli ubutyebi emhlabeni, apho inundu nomhlwa zonakalisa khona, nalapho amasela aqhekeza angene khona ebe. ²⁰Kodwa zifumbeleni ubutyebi emazulwini, apho kungekho nundu nomhlwa wonakalisa khona, nalapho amasela angaqhekezi angebi khona. ²¹Kuba apho bukhona ubutyebi bakho, iya kuba khona nentliziyo yakho.

²²“Isibane somzimba liliso. Ukuba ke iliso lakho liqaqambile, umzimba wakho uphela uya kuzala kukukhanya. ²³Kodwa ukuba iliso lakho likhohlakele, umzimba wakho uphela uya kuba sebumnyameni. Ukuba ke ukukhanya okukuwe bubumnyama, bukhulu kakhulu ubumnyama obo!

²⁴“Akukho bani unako ukukhonza iinkosi ezimbini: kuba uya kuyithiya enye ayithande enye, nokuba uya kunamathela kwenye ayidele enye. Aninako ukukhonza uBawo wethu nemali.

UYihlo Uyakwazi Oko Ukusweleyo

²⁵“Ngoko ke ndithi kuni: ningabi naxhala ngobomi benu—ukuba niya kudla ntoni na okanye niya kusela ntoni na—nangomzimba—ukuba niya kwambatha ntoni na. Ubomi abukho ngaphezu kokudla yini, nomzimba ungaphezu kweengubo? ²⁶Khangelani iintaka zezulu: azihlwayeli, azivuni, azifumbi koovimba, kanti uYihlo osemazulwini uyazondla. Anizigqithisi na zona nina? ²⁷Ngubani na kuni othi ngokuxhalela ongeze ilixa linye ebomini bakhe? ²⁸Kwaye nixhalelani na ngengubo? Qwalaselani iinyibiba zasendle, indlela ezikhula ngayo: azisebenzi, aziluki. ²⁹Kanti ndithi kuni: naye uSolomon, kubo bonke ubuqaqawuli bakhe, akanxitywanga njengenye yazo ezi. ³⁰Ukuba ke uBawo wethu uyibhinqisa ngolu hlobo utyani basendle—obukhoyo namhla, buphoswe emlilweni ngomso—akayi kuniqabisa ngakumbi na nina, nina bokholo luncinane?

³¹“Ngoko ke ningabi naxhala, nisithi, ‘Siya kudla ntoni na?’ okanye ‘Siya kusela ntoni na?’ okanye ‘Siya kwambatha ntoni na?’ ³²Kuba abo bangamaziyo uBawo bayazisukela zonke ezi zinto, kodwa uYihlo osemazulwini uyazi ukuba niyazisweleyo. ³³Kodwa funani kuqala ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu nobulungisa bakhe, nani niya kongezelelwa zonke ezi zinto. ³⁴Ngoko ke ningabi naxhala ngomso—kuba lona liya kuzixhalela. Imini nganye inembandezelo yayo eyaneleyo.”
