Uvumo luka-Aguri
UAguri uyavuma kuBawo wakhe ukuba udiniwe engenabulumko bakhe, aze acele into enye: hayi ubuhlwempu nobutyebi, kodwa isabelo sakhe sesonka kuphela. Oseleyo ubala ngeminwe: izinto ezine ezingaze zaneliswe, ezine ezimangalisa kakhulu, ezine ezincinci ezinobulumko.
30 1Amazwi ka-Aguri unyana kaYake—isiprofeto. Itsho indoda: Ndidiniwe, Bawo wam; ndidiniwe, Bawo wam, ndiphelelwe ngamandla. 2Inene ndisisityhakala kunokuba ndibe yindoda; andinayo ingqondo yomntu. 3Andibufundanga ubulumko, andinako nokwazi oyiNgcwele. 4Ngubani na onyukele ezulwini wehla? Ngubani na owuhlanganisele umoya entendeni yezandla zakhe? Ngubani na owasongela amanzi engutyeni? Ngubani na owamisa zonke iziphelo zehlabathi? Ungubani na igama lakhe, nonyana wakhe ungubani na igama lakhe? Inene uyazi! a a v4 U-Aguri ubuza ukuba ngubani na ozenzileyo ezi zinto, nokuba ngubani na igama lonyana wakhe. UYesu wayiphendula le qashiso: “Akukho namnye unyukileyo waya emazulwini, ngulowo yedwa wehla ephuma emazulwini—uNyana woLuntu” (Yohane 3:13). UBawo unoNyana. 5Lonke ilizwi likaBawo wethu liyinyaniso; uyingweletshetshe kwabo bazimela ngaye. 6Uze ungongezi emazwini akhe, hleze akukhalimele akwenze ulixoki. 7Zimbini izinto endizicela kuwe; uze ungazibandezi kum ndingekafi: 8Ubuxoki namanga zikhwelelise kude kum; ndinganiki buhlwempu nabutyebi; undondle kuphela ngesonka esisisabelo sam, 9kuba ukuba ndithe ndahlutha, ndingakukhanyela ndithi: “Ngubani na uThixo?” nokuba ndithe ndaba lihlwempu, ndingeba ndize ndilihlazise igama likaThixo wam. 10Uze ungamhlebi umkhonzi enkosini yakhe, hleze akuqalekise ufunyanwe unetyala. 11Kukho isizukulwana esiqalekisayo uyise, singamsikeleli unina. 12Kukho isizukulwana esihlambulukileyo emehlweni aso, noko singahlanjwanga nyala laso. 13Kukho isizukulwana—hayi ukuphakama kwamehlo aso, nokugxeka kokukhangela kwaso! 14Kukho isizukulwana esimazinyo angamakrele, esimazinyo omhlathi azizitshetshe, ukuze sidle amahlwempu ehlabathini, nabasweleyo ebantwini. 15Isilingana sineentombi ezimbini: “Nika” no “Nika.” Zintathu izinto ezingazaniyo ukuhlutha; zine ezingaze zithi: “Kwanele”: 16Ingcwaba, nesizalo esiludlolo, nelizwe elingaze lanele ngamanzi, nomlilo ongaze uthi: “Kwanele.” 17Iliso eligxeka uyise, lize liyeyise ukumthobela unina— amahlungulu entlambo aya kulikholoza, amathole exhalanga alidle. 18Zintathu izinto ezibalulekileyo kakhulu kum; zine endingaziqondiyo: 19indlela yokhozi esibhakabhakeni, nendlela yenyoka eweni, nendlela yenqanawa embindini wolwandle, nendlela yendoda nentombi. 20Yindlela yomfazi okrexezayo le: udla, azisule umlomo, athi: “Akukho bubi ndibenzileyo.” 21Ngenxa yezinto ezintathu liyagungqa ihlabathi; ngenxa yezine alinakumelana nazo: 22umkhonzi xa esiba ngukumkani, nesidenge xa sihluthi kukudla; 23umfazi othiyiweyo xa ekugqibeleni endayo, nesicakakazi xa singqula inkosikazi yaso. 24Zine izinto ezincinane ehlabathini, noko zizilumko kakhulu kunene: 25iimbovane zisisizwe esingenamandla, noko ziwuqwebela ukudla kwazo ehlotyeni; 26iimbila luhlanga olungenamandla, kanti zizakhela imizi yazo emaweni; 27iinkumbi azinakumkani, kanti zonke zihamba zimi ngezintlu; 28intulo ungayibamba ngezandla zakho, kanti ifumaneka ezindlwini zookumkani. 29Zintathu izinto ezinesinyathelo esihle; zine ezihamba ngesidima: 30ingonyama, eyona inamandla phakathi kwamarhamncwa, engabuyi mva phambi kwento; 31inkunzi yenkuku ehamba ngekratshi, nenkunzi yebhokhwe, nokumkani onomkhosi wakhe. 32Ukuba ube sisidenge, uziphakamisa, okanye ukuba ucebe ububi, beka isandla sakho emlonyeni wakho. 33Kuba ukucudisa ubisi kuvelisa amasi, ukucudisa impumlo kuvelisa igazi, ukucudisa umsindo kuvelisa imbambano.
