Yeha kwabo Bacinezelayo
Sivulwa ngabantu abalala bephapheme beyila indlela yokuhlutha amasimi nezindlu, baze bakwenze ekukhanyeni kokusa ngenxa yokuba benako. Baxelela uMika ukuba ayeke ukushumayela. UBawo wethu uthi naye uyila into ngabo, aze ngequbuliso athembise ukuhlanganisa intsalela njengomhlambi.
2 1Yeha kwabo bayila ububi, basebenza ukungendawo emandlalweni abo! Ekukhanyeni kokusa bakwenza, ngokuba kusemandleni esandla sabo ukukwenza. 2Bawanqwenela amasimi, bawahluthe, nezindlu bazithabatha. Bacinezela indoda nendlu yayo, umntu nelifa lakhe.
3Ngenxa yoko utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Khangela, ngokuchasene nalo mzalwana ndiyila intlekele, eningayi kuba nako ukuzikhulula iintamo zenu kuyo; aniyi kuba nako ukuphakamisa iintloko zenu, kuba lixesha elibi. 4Ngaloo mini baya kuthabatha isigculo sentsini ngani, balila ngesijwili esikrakra, besithi: “Sitshabalele kuphele! Uyasithengisa isabelo sabantu bam; hayi, indlela awusuka ngayo kum! Kumngcatshi waba amasimi ethu.” 5Ngenxa yoko akuyi kuba namntu wokuphosa ulutya lokulinganisela ngeqashiso ebandleni likaBawo wethu. a a v5 Ukuphosa ulutya lokulinganisela ngeqashiso yindlela awathi uSirayeli wabela ngayo umhlaba ezintsatsheni; ukuphulukana neli lungelo kwakuthetha ukugxothwa ngokungunaphakade elifeni lebandla.
UBawo wethu Uthulisa Abaprofeti Bobuxoki
6“Musani ukushumayela!” batsho beshumayela. “Makungabikho namnye oshumayela ezi zinto; isingcikivo asiyi kusifumana.”
7Mayitshiwo na le nto, ndlu kaYakobi? Ngaba uMoya kaBawo wethu uyakhathazeka na? Ziizenzo zakhe na ezi? Awazisi na okulungileyo amazwi am kulowo uhamba ngokuthe tye?
8Kodwa kutshanje abantwana bam basuke bema njengotshaba. Niyayihlutha ingubo exabisekileyo kwabo badlulayo bengakhumbulele nto, njengamadoda abuya emfazweni angafuni kulwa. 9Niyabagxotha abafazi babantu bam emakhayeni abo amnandi; kubantwana babo abancinane nisusa ubungangamsha bam ngonaphakade. 10Vukani nihambe, kuba le asiyiyo indawo yokuphumla; ngenxa yokuba yenziwe inqambi, izisa intshabalalo— intshabalalo ebuhlungu. 11Ukuba indoda ephila ngenkohliso elilize ibingaxoka, isithi: “Ndoshumayela kuni ngewayini nangotywala,” ibiya kuba ngumshumayeli olungele kanye aba bantu!
UBawo wethu Uhlanganisa Amasalela Akhe
12Ndoninqwanqwada nonke, Yakobi; ndowahlanganisa okunene amasalela akwaSirayeli, ndiwamise abe mnye, njengezimvu esibayeni, njengomhlambi phakathi kwedlelo lawo— indawo evakalayo ngokuduma kwabantu.
13Lowo uvula indlela unyuka phambi kwabo; bagqobhoza, badlule esangweni, baphume ngalo. Ukumkani wabo uhamba phambi kwabo, uBawo wethu esentloko kubo. b b v13 Lowo uvula indlela nguYesu, ohamba phambi kwabantu bakhe ukuze avule indlela yokugoduka, abakhokele baphume kuyo yonke imbophelelo—uKumkani wabo, uBawo wethu esentloko kubo.
