Uzeka Kade Umsindo, Mkhulu Ngamandla

³uBawo wethu uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngamandla, kodwa akasoze amyeke onetyala engohlwaywanga. Indlela yakhe isemoyeni ovuthuzayo nasesaqhwithini, namafu aluthuli lweenyawo zakhe. ⁴Uyalukhalimela ulwandle, alwomise; yenze yome yonke imilambo. IBhashan neKarmele ziyoma, nentyantyambo yaseLebhanon iyabuna. ⁵Iintaba ziyagungqa phambi kwakhe, neenduli ziyanyibilika. Umhlaba uyazamazama ebusweni bakhe, ihlabathi nabo bonke abahlala kulo. ⁶Ngubani onokuma phambi kwentukuthelo yakhe? Ngubani onokuthwala ukuvutha komsindo wakhe? Ingqumbo yakhe iphalala njengomlilo, namawa ayaqhekeka phambi kwakhe. ⁷uBawo wethu ulungile, yinqaba ngemini yembandezelo; uyabazi abazimela ngaye. ⁸Kodwa ngonogumbe okhukulayo uya kuyiphelisa indawo yayo, aze asukele iintshaba zakhe zingene ebumnyameni. ⁹Niyila ntoni na ngakuBawo wethu? Uya kukuphelisa kuphele; imbandezelo ayiyi kuphinda ivele okwesibini. ¹⁰Kuba nangona bebhijelene njengemithana enameva, bemanzi sisiselo sabo, baya kudliwa njengeendiza ezomileyo. ¹¹Kuwe, Nineve, kwaphuma lowo oyila ububi ngakuBawo wethu, umcebisi wobungendawo.

¹²Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Nokuba banamandla kangakanani, bebaninzi, baya kunqanyulwa bade bangabikho. Nangona ndakubandezela, andisayi kuphinda ndikubandezele. ¹³Ngoku ndiya kwaphula idyokhwe yakhe entanyeni yakho, ndiyinqamle imixokelelwane yakho.

¹⁴uBawo wethu uwisele umthetho ngawe, Nineve: akusayi kubakho nzala yegama lakho. Ndiya kunqumla umfanekiso oqingqiweyo nothixo otyhidiweyo endlwini yoothixo bakho. Ndiya kulungisa ingcwaba lakho, kuba udelekile.

¹⁵Khangela! Nanzo ezintabeni iinyawo zalowo uzisa iindaba ezilungileyo, ovakalisa uxolo! Yenza imithendeleko yakho, Yuda; uzifeze izibhambathiso zakho. Kuba abangendawo abasayi kuphinda bangene kuwe; banqunyulwe baphela. ^b b v15 UPawulos ukhankanya le vesi ngabapostile abavakalisa uYesu — “Hayi ukuhle kweenyawo zabo bashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo!” (KumaRoma 10:15). Iindaba ezilungileyo zikaNahum zoxolo emva kokoyiswa kweAsiriya zingumfuziselo wevangeli loxolo ngoYesu.
