UMoya kaBaba Uyangigcoba
Isikhulumi esigcotshiweyo sibala labo esathunyelwa kubo: abampofu, abaphuke izinhliziyo, iziboshwa, abalilayo eZiyoni. Umlotha ushintshaniswa nomqhele, ukuphelelwa yithemba ngendumiso. UBaba wethu uthi uthanda ubulungisa futhi uzonda ukuphanga, futhi amadolobha onakele akhiwa kabusha yilabo ababehlazekile.
61 1UMoya kaBaba oBusayo uphezu kwami, ngokuba uBaba wethu ungigcobile ukuba ngilethe izindaba ezinhle kubampofu. Ungithumile ukuba ngibophe abanhliziyo zabo zaphukileyo, ukumemezela inkululeko kwabathunjiweyo nokukhululwa kwababoshwe ebumnyameni, a a v1 UJesu waqala inkonzo yakhe yasobala ngokufunda la mazwi uqobo esinagogeni laseNazaretha, wathi: “Namuhla lo mBhalo ugcwalisekile ezindlebeni zenu” (Luka 4:18-21). Inceku ekhuluma lapha nguJesu — ogcotshwe nguMoya, othunywe nguBaba wethu. 2ukumemezela umnyaka womusa kaBaba wethu nosuku lwempindiselo kaBaba wethu, ukududuza bonke abalilayo, 3ukunakekela abalilayo eZiyoni— ukubanika umqhele wobuhle esikhundleni somlotha, amafutha enjabulo esikhundleni sokulila, isembatho sokudumisa esikhundleni somoya wokudangala; ukuze babizwe ngokuthi imithi emikhulu yokulunga, okutshaliwe kukaBaba wethu, ukuze adunyiswe.
4Bayakwakha kabusha amanxiwa amadala, bavuse izindawo ezachithwa kudala; bayakuvuselela imizi eyabhidlizwayo, echithekile izizukulwane eziningi. 5Izihambi ziyakwelusa imihlambi yenu; abezizwe bayakuba ngabalimi benu nabasebenzi ezivinini zenu. 6Kodwa nina niyakubizwa ngokuthi abapristi bakaBaba wethu; niyakuthiwa izikhonzi zikaBaba wethu. Niyakudla ingcebo yezizwe, nizigabise ngenotho yazo. 7Esikhundleni sehlazo lenu niyakwamukela isabelo esiphindwe kabili, esikhundleni sokudunyazwa niyakujabula ngefa lenu; ngakho-ke niyakuba nesabelo esiphindwe kabili ezweni lakini, nenjabulo engunaphakade iyakuba ngeyenu.
8“Ngokuba mina, uBaba wenu, ngithanda ubulungiswa; ngiyakuzonda ukuphanga nokona. Ngokwethembeka kwami ngiyakubavuza abantu bami, ngenze nabo isivumelwano esiphakade. 9Inzalo yabo iyakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe, nezizukulwane zabo phakathi kwabantu; bonke ababonayo bayakuvuma ukuthi bayinzalo uBaba wethu ayibusisileyo.”
10Ngiyakuthokoza kakhulu kuBaba wethu; umphefumulo wami uyakweqa ngenjabulo kuBaba wethu. Ngokuba ungembathise izingubo zensindiso, wangisibekela ingubo yokulunga, njengomyeni ehlobisa ikhanda lakhe njengompristi, nanjengomakoti ezihlobisa ngamatshe akhe ayigugu. b b v10 Kwa-Israyeli wasendulo, abayeni babegqoka isigqoko sekhanda esihlotshisiweyo emshadweni wabo, njengoba nje abapristi babenza ekukhonzeni ethempelini. 11Ngokuba njengoba umhlabathi uveza amahlumela awo, nanjengoba ingadi yenza okuhlwanyelwe kuyo kuhlume, kanjalo uBaba oBusayo uyakwenza ukulunga nokudumisa kuhlume phambi kwazo zonke izizwe.
