Umthombo Ovulwayo Wokuhlambulula
Kuvulwa umthombo wokuhlamba isono, kususwe izithixo nabaprofeti bobuxoki, aze umalusi abethwe ukuze izimvu zichitheke. Isahlulo sesithathu singeniswa emlilweni sinyibiliswe, ade athi bangabantwana bam, baze bona bathi, nguBawo wethu.
13 1Ngaloo mini kuya kuvuleka umthombo wendlu kaDavide nabemi baseYerusalem, ukuze bahlanjululwe esonweni nasebunqambini.
2Ngaloo mini, utsho uBawo wemikhosi, ndiya kuwanqumla amagama ezithixo elizweni, angabi sakhunjulwa; ndisuse nabaprofeti nomoya wobunqambi elizweni.
3Ukuba ubani usaprofeta, uyise nonina abamzalayo baya kuthi kuye: “Uya kufa, ngokuba uthethe ubuxoki egameni likaBawo wethu.” Aze athi akuprofeta, uyise nonina abamzalayo bamhlabe.
4Ngaloo mini bonke abaprofeti baya kudana ngombono wabo xa beprofeta; abayi kuyambatha nengubo exhonti ukuze bakhohlise.
5Kodwa yena uya kuthi: “Andinguye umprofeti; ndingumlimi, kuba umhlaba ube lilifa lam kwasebuncinaneni bam.” 6Ukuba kukho othi kuye: “Yintoni na la manxeba aphakathi kwezandla zakho?” uya kuthi: “Ndalinyazwa endlwini yabahlobo bam.” a a v6 Ibinzana elithi “phakathi kwezandla zakho” yintetho yamandulo echaza amanxeba abonakalayo ngaphambili emzimbeni.
Umalusi Obethiweyo, Izimvu Ezichithiweyo
7Vuka, krele, uchase umalusi wam, uchase indoda emi kufuphi nam, utsho uBawo wemikhosi. Betha umalusi, zichithwachithwe izimvu; ndize ndibuyisele isandla sam kwabancinane. b b v7 UYesu wasisebenzisa kuye esi ndinyana ngobusuku awabanjwa ngabo: “Ndiya kumbetha umalusi, zichithwachithwe izimvu zomhlambi” (Mateyu 26:31; Marko 14:27). 8Kulo lonke ilizwe, utsho uBawo wethu, izahlulo ezibini kwezithathu zonqunyulwa zitshabalale, kodwa isahlulo sesithathu sosala siphilile kulo. 9Eso sahlulo sokugqibela sesithathu ndiya kusingenisa emlilweni; ndibanyibilikise njengesilivere, ndibalinge njengegolide. Baya kunqula igama lam; ndibaphendule bona. Ndize ndithi: “Ngabantwana bam,” baze bona bathi: “NguBawo wethu.”
