Isahluko 24.

Musa ukubamonela abantu abangendawo, ungalangazeleli ukuba nabo, kuba iintliziyo zabo ziyila ugonyamelo, nemilebe yomlomo wabo ithetha ngenkathazo.

Ngobulumko kwakhiwa indlu, nangengqondo izinziswe; nangokwazi izindlu zayo zizaliswe bubutyebi bonke obunqabileyo nobumnandi.

Indoda esisilumko izele ngamandla, nendoda enolwazi iyawandisa amandla ayo, kuba ngokukhokelwa ngobulumko ungayilwa imfazwe yakho, yaye uloyiso luza ngamaphakathi amaninzi.

Ubulumko buphakeme kakhulu kwisidenge; esangweni, akananto anokuyithetha. Lowo ucebayo ukwenza ububi uya kubizwa ngokuba ngumyili wobubi. Ukuyila kwesidenge sisono, nomgxeki ulisikizi ebantwini.

Ukuba uyathepha ngexesha lenkathazo, mancinane amandla akho. Hlangula abo basiwa ekufeni, ubabambe abo bakhubekela ekuxhelweni. Ukuba uthi: “Khawubone, besingakwazi oku,” akaboni na lowo ulinganisa intliziyo? Akazi na lowo ugcina umphefumlo wakho? Yaye akayi kumbuyisela na umntu ngamnye ngokwezenzo zakhe?

Nyana wam, yidla ubusi, kuba bulungile, namathontsi ekhekhe lobusi amnandi ekhuhlangubeni lakho. Yazi ukuba ubulumko bunjalo kanye emphefumlweni wakho; ukuba uthe wabufumana, kukho ikamva, nethemba lakho alisayi kunqunyulwa.

Musa ukulalela, wena mntu ungendawo, ikhaya lelungisa; musa ukuyitshabalalisa indawo yakhe yokuphumla, kuba nangona ilungisa liwa kasixhenxe, liyavuka kwakhona, kodwa abangendawo bakhubeka ebubini.

Musa ukuvuya xa utshaba lwakho luwa, intliziyo yakho mayingagcobi xa lukhubeka, hleze uBawo wethu akubone oku angakholiswa, abuye awususe kuye umsindo wakhe.

Musa ukuzikhathaza ngenxa yabenzi bobubi, ungabamoneli abangendawo, kuba umntu ongendawo akanalo ikamva; isibane sabangendawo siya kucinywa.

Nyana wam, moyike uBawo wethu nokumkani, ungahlanganyeli nabo bagwilikayo kubo, kuba intlekele yabo iya kuvela ngesiquphe, ngubani na owaziyo intshabalalo abanokuyizisa bobabini?

Ubulungisa Obungakhethi Buso

Nala ngamazwi ezilumko: Ukukhetha ubuso ekugwebeni akulunganga. Lowo uthi konetyala: “Umsulwa wena,” izizwe ziya kumqalekisa neentlanga zimbhavumele, kodwa kuya kulunga kwabo bagwebayo onetyala, nentsikelelo etyebile iya kuza phezu kwabo. Impendulo enyanisileyo ifana nokumangwa emlonyeni. Lungisa umsebenzi wakho ngaphandle, uwalungise amasimi akho, wandule ke ukwakha indlu yakho. Musa ukuba lingqina ngommelwane wakho ngaphandle kwesizathu; ungakhohlisa na ngemilebe yomlomo wakho? Musa ukuthi: “Ndiya kumenzela njengoko andenzileyo; ndiya kuyibuyekeza loo ndoda ngoko ikwenzileyo.” Ndadlula ngasentsimini yevila, nangesidiliya somntu oswele ingqondo, yaye nanko yayizele yimithana enameva; umhlaba wawugqunywe lukhula, udonga lwayo lwamatye ludilikile. Ndaza ndakhangela, ndakubeka entliziyweni; ndabona, ndafumana isiyalo. Ukulala okuncinane, ukozela okuncinane, ukusonga izandla okuncinane ukuze uphumle, ize intlupheko ikufikele njengesihange, nokuswela njengandoda exhobileyo.
