IiNdumiso 35 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

35 ¹Baphikise, Bawo, abo baphikisana nam; ulwe nabo balwa nam.

²Phatha ikhaka nekhakana, uphakame undincede. ³Rhola umkhonto nentshuntshe ngakwabandisukelayo; uthi emphefumlweni wam: “Ndilusindiso lwakho.”

⁴Mabadane bahlazeke abo bafuna ubomi bam; mababuyiselwe umva baphoxeke abo baceba ukundenzakalisa. ⁵Mababe njengomququ ophetshethwa ngumoya, sibaqhuba isithunywa sikaBawo wethu. ⁶Mayibe mnyama ibe netyibilika indlela yabo, sibasukela isithunywa sikaBawo wethu.

⁷Kuba ngaphandle kwesizathu bawufihlile umnatha wabo; ngaphandle kwesizathu bemba umhadi ubomi bam. ⁸Makamfikele ngequbuliso intshabalalo; umnatha awufihlileyo mawumbambe; makawele kuloo ntshabalalo kanye.

⁹Ngako oko umphefumlo wam uya kuvuya kuBawo wam; uya kugcoba ngosindiso lwakhe. ¹⁰Onke amathambo am aya kuthi: “Bawo, ngubani onjengawe, ohlangula osweleyo kongaphezu kwamandla akhe, osweleyo nohluphekayo kulowo umphangayo?”

¹¹Kuvela amangqina anonya; andibuza ngezinto endingazaziyo. ¹²Bandibuyisela ububi esikhundleni sokulungileyo; ushiyeka ulilolo umphefumlo wam. ¹³Kodwa mna, xa babegula, ndandinxiba iingubo zokuzila; ndazithoba ngokuzila ukutya, umthandazo wam wawubuyela entliziyweni yam. ^a a v13 Amazwi athi “umthandazo wam wawubuyela entliziyweni yam” intsingiselo yawo ayiqinisekanga; asenokuthetha ukuba imithandazo kaDavide yayinyanisekile kodwa yayingaphendulwa. ¹⁴Ndahambahamba ngathi ndizilela umhlobo wam okanye umzalwana wam; ndaqubuda ndisentlungwini, njengozilela unina. ¹⁵Kodwa ekukhubekeni kwam bavuya bahlanganisana; abahlaseli endandingabazi baqokelelana ngakum, bandikrazula bengayeki. ¹⁶Njengabahlekisi abangenaThixo etheko, babetshakaza amazinyo abo kum.

¹⁷Bawo wam oyiNkosi, koda kube nini na ukhangele nje? Hlangula umphefumlo wam kwintshabalaliso yabo, obu bomi bam bukuphela kubo kwiingonyama. ¹⁸Ndiya kukubulela ebandleni elikhulu; phakathi kwesihlwele esikhulu ndiya kukudumisa. ¹⁹Mazingandigcobeli iintshaba zam ezinenkohliso, nabo bandithiya ngelize mabangaqhwebi ngeliso. ^b b v19 UYesu wawusebenzisa lo mgca kuye ngokwakhe — abo babemthiya “ngelize” — njengentiyo awayiboniswa lihlabathi endleleni eya emnqamlezweni (Yohane 15:25). ²⁰Kuba abathethi luxolo, kodwa bayala amayelenqe enkohliso ngakwabazolileyo belizwe. ²¹Bawukhamisa kakhulu ngakum umlomo wabo; bathi: “Hayi bo! Hayi bo! Amehlo ethu akubonile!”

²²Ukubonile oku, Bawo wam; musa ukuthi cwaka. Bawo wam oyiNkosi, musa ukuba kude kum. ²³Vuka uzivuse ekundigwebeleni, emcimbini wam, Bawo wam oyiNkosi! ²⁴Ndigwebele, Bawo wam, ngokobulungisa bakho, ungabavumeli bandigcobele. ²⁵Mabangatsho ezintliziyweni zabo: “Hayi bo, yiloo nto besiyifuna!” Mabangatsho: “Simginyile.”

²⁶Mabadane baphoxeke kunye abo bavuyela intlekele yam; mabambathiswe lihlazo nocukucezo abo bazikhukhumalisa ngakum. ²⁷Mabo bakholiswa kukugwetyelwa kwam badume ngemihlali bavuye; mabasoloko besithi: “Mkhulu uBawo wethu, okholiswa yintlalo-ntle yomkhonzi wakhe!”

²⁸Ngako ulwimi lwam luya kuthetha ngobulungisa bakho, ngendumiso yakho imini yonke.
