37 ¹Musa ukuxhalaba ngenxa yabenzi bobubi; ungabi nomona ngabo benza okungalungileyo, ²kuba njengengca baya kukhawuleza bune, njengezityalo eziluhlaza baya kubuna.

³Themba kuBawo wethu wenze okulungileyo; hlala elizweni ulime ukunyaniseka. ⁴Zonwabise kuBawo wethu, yena wokunika iminqweno yentliziyo yakho.

⁵Nikezela indlela yakho kuBawo wethu; themba kuye, yena wokwenza. ⁶Uya kubuveza ubulungisa bakho njengokukhanya, nokusesikweni kwakho njengemini enkulu.

⁷Zola phambi koBawo wethu umlindele ngomonde; musa ukuxhalaba ngenxa yalowo uphumelelayo endleleni yakhe, ngenxa yomntu oqhuba amaqhinga angendawo.

⁸Yeka umsindo uwulahle ukuvutha kwengqumbo yakho; musa ukuxhalaba—oko kukhokelela ebubini bodwa. ⁹Kuba abenzi bobubi baya kunqunyulwa, kodwa abo balindele uBawo wethu baya kulidla ilifa ilizwe.

¹⁰Kuseza kube kancinane, angabikho ongendawo; nokuba ukhangela ngenkuthalo indawo yakhe, akayi kubakho apho. ¹¹Kodwa abathobekileyo baya kulidla ilifa ilizwe banwabe kuxolo oluninzi. ^a a v11 UYesu usizisa esi sithembiso kwiziSikelelo zakhe: “Banoyolo abalulamileyo, kuba baya kulidla ilifa ihlabathi” (Mateyu 5:5).

¹²Ongendawo uyamqulunqela amayelenqe olungileyo amtshixizele amazinyo akhe; ¹³kodwa iNkosi uBawo uyamhleka, kuba uBawo wethu uyabona ukuba imini yongendawo iyeza.

¹⁴Abangendawo barhola ikrele bagobe isaphetha sabo ukuze bawise ihlwempu nosweleyo, ukuze babulale abo indlela yabo ithe tye. ¹⁵Ikrele labo liya kuhlaba eyabo intliziyo, aphuke namasaphetha abo.

¹⁶Kungcono okuncinane kolungileyo kunobuninzi babangendawo abaninzi; ¹⁷kuba amandla abangendawo aya kwaphulwa, kodwa uBawo wethu uyabaxhasa abalungileyo.

¹⁸UBawo wethu uyazazi iimini zabangenasici, nelifa labo liya kuhlala ngonaphakade. ¹⁹Abayi kudaniswa ngamaxesha obubi; ngemihla yendlala baya kuhlutha.

²⁰Kodwa abangendawo baya kutshabalala, neentshaba zikaBawo wethu ziya kunyamalala njengeentyatyambo zamadlelo—njengomsi baya kunyamalala.

²¹Ongendawo uyaboleka angabuyisi, kodwa olungileyo unobubele uyapha. ²²Kuba abo basikelelwe nguye baya kulidla ilifa ilizwe, kodwa abo baqalekiswe nguye baya kunqunyulwa.

²³Amanyathelo omntu amiselwa nguBawo wethu, yaye uBawo wethu uyavuyiswa yindlela yomntu; ²⁴nokuba uyakhubeka, akayi kuwa aqungquluze, kuba uBawo wethu umbambe ngesandla.

²⁵Ndandimncinci, ngoku sendimdala, kodwa andizange ndimbone olungileyo elahliwe, nabantwana bakhe bengqiba isonka. ²⁶Imini yonke unobubele uyaboleka, nabantwana bakhe baba yintsikelelo.

²⁷Phambuka ebubini wenze okulungileyo, uze uhlale ngonaphakade. ²⁸Kuba uBawo wethu uyakuthanda okusesikweni akayi kubalahla abathembekileyo bakhe; bagcinwe ngonaphakade, kodwa inzala yabangendawo iya kunqunyulwa.

²⁹Abalungileyo baya kulidla ilifa ilizwe bahlale kulo ngonaphakade.

³⁰Umlomo wolungileyo uthetha ubulumko, nolwimi lwakhe luthetha okusesikweni. ³¹Umyalelo kaYise usentliziyweni yakhe; amanyathelo akhe akatyibiliki.

³²Ongendawo umlalela olungileyo efuna ukumbulala; ³³kodwa uBawo wethu akayi kumshiya esandleni sakhe, engayi kumvumela agwetywe xa esahlulelwa.

³⁴Lindela uBawo wethu ugcine indlela yakhe, yena wokuphakamisa ukuba ulidle ilifa ilizwe; uya kubukela xa abangendawo benqunyulwa.

³⁵Ndambona umntu ongendawo, okhohlakeleyo ezandlalile njengomthi womthonyama otyebileyo; ³⁶kodwa wadlula, waza ngequbuliso akabikho; ndamkhangela, kodwa akafumaneki.

³⁷Khangela ongenasici uqwalasele othe tye, kuba likho ikamva lomntu woxolo. ³⁸Kodwa abagqithisi baya kutshatyalaliswa bonke; ikamva labangendawo liya kunqunyulwa.

³⁹Usindiso lwabalungileyo luvela kuBawo wethu; yena uyinqaba yabo ngexesha lenkxwaleko. ⁴⁰UBawo wethu uyabanceda abahlangule bona; uyabahlangula kubangendawo abasindise, ngokuba basabela kuye.
