106 ¹Haleluya! Bongani uBaba wethu, ngokuba ulungile; umusa wakhe wesivumelwano umi kuze kube phakade.

²Ngubani ongalandisa izenzo ezinamandla zikaBaba wethu, noma amemezele konke ukudunyiswa kwakhe? ³Babusisiwe labo abagcina ubulungiswa, abenza okulungile ngaso sonke isikhathi.

⁴Ngikhumbule, Baba wethu, ngomusa owubonisa abantu bakho; uze kimi ngensindiso yakho, ⁵ukuze ngibone ukuchuma kwabakhethiweyo bakho, ngijabule enjabulweni yesizwe sakho, ngethabe kanye nefa lakho.

⁶Sonile, njengoba benza okhokho bethu; senze okubi, senze ngenkohlakalo. ⁷Lapho okhokho bethu beseGibhithe, abazange baziqaphele izimangaliso zakho; abazange bawukhumbule ubuningi bomusa wakho wesivumelwano, kodwa bahlubuka ngaselwandle, oLwandle Olubomvu. ^a a v7 NgesiHebheru: Yam Suf, “uLwandle Lwemihlanga.” ⁸Nokho wabasindisa ngenxa yegama lakhe, ukuze azise amandla akhe amakhulu. ⁹Waluthethisa uLwandle Olubomvu, lwoma; wabahola phakathi kwamanzi ajulileyo njengokungathi basehlane. ¹⁰Wabasindisa esandleni salowo owayebazonda, wabahlenga esandleni sesitha. ¹¹Amanzi asibekela izitha zabo; akusalanga noyedwa kuzo. ¹²Khona-ke bakholwa amazwi akhe; bahlabelela indumiso yakhe.

¹³Kodwa baphuthuma bakhohlwa imisebenzi yakhe; abazange balindele iseluleko sakhe. ¹⁴Ehlane banikezela enkanukweni, nasogwadule bamlinga uBaba wethu. ¹⁵Ngakho wabanika lokho abakucelayo, kodwa wathumela kubo isifo esiqedayo. ¹⁶Ekamu baba nomhawu ngoMose, nango-Aroni, ongcwele kaBaba wethu. ¹⁷Umhlaba wavuleka waginga uDathani, wasibekela iqembu lika-Abhiramu. ¹⁸Umlilo wavutha phakathi kweqembu labo; ilangabi lashisa ababi.

¹⁹EHorebe benza ithole bakhothamela isithombe sensimbi ebunjiweyo. ²⁰Bashintsha inkazimulo yabo ngesithombe senkabi edla utshani. ²¹Bamkhohlwa uBaba wethu, uMsindisi wabo, owayenze izinto ezinkulu eGibhithe, ²²izimangaliso ezweni lakwaHamu, izenzo ezesabekayo ngaseLwandle Olubomvu. ^b b v22 Izwe lakwaHamu yigama lasendulo elingokwenkondlo leGibhithe. ²³Ngakho wathi uzobabhubhisa —ukuba uMose, okhethiweyo wakhe, wayengamanga esikhaleni phambi kwakhe, ukuze adedise ulaka lwakhe ekubabhubhiseni.

²⁴Khona-ke balidelela izwe elihle; abazange basithembe isithembiso sakhe. ²⁵Bakhonona ematendeni abo, abazange balalele izwi likaBaba wethu. ²⁶Ngakho waphakamisa isandla sakhe wafunga ukuthi uzobawisa ehlane, ²⁷ukuwisa inzalo yabo phakathi kwezizwe nokubahlakaza emazweni onke.

²⁸Bazibophela kuBhali wasePheyori badla imihlatshelo enikelwe konkulunkulu abafileyo. ²⁹Bamthukuthelisa ngezenzo zabo, kwaqubuka isifo esibulalayo phakathi kwabo. ³⁰Kodwa uFinehasi wasukuma wangenela, sanqandwa isifo esibulalayo. ³¹Kwabalelwa kuye njengokulunga, ezizukulwaneni zonke kuze kube phakade. ³²Emanzini aseMeribha bamthukuthelisa, kwaba kubi kuMose ngenxa yabo, ³³ngokuba benza umoya wakhe waba munyu, wakhuluma ngamawala.

³⁴Abazange bazibhubhise izizwe, njengoba uBaba wethu wayebayalile, ³⁵kodwa bazihlanganisa nezizwe bafunda izindlela zazo. ³⁶Bakhonza izithombe zabo, ezaba ngugibe kubo. ³⁷Banikela ngamadodana abo namadodakazi abo kumademoni. ³⁸Bachitha igazi elingenacala, igazi lamadodana namadodakazi abo, ababanikela ngabo kuzithombe zaseKhanani, izwe langcoliswa ngegazi. ³⁹Bangcola ngezenzo zabo, baziphatha ngobufebe ngemisebenzi yabo.

⁴⁰Ngakho ulaka lukaBaba wethu lwavuthela abantu bakhe, wanengwa yifa lakhe. ⁴¹Wabanikela ezizweni, ababebazonda babusa phezu kwabo. ⁴²Izitha zabo zabacindezela, bathotshiswa ngaphansi kwamandla azo. ⁴³Izikhathi eziningi wabakhulula, kodwa emacebeni abo onke babethambekele ekuhlubukeni, bashona phansi esonweni sabo. ⁴⁴Nokho wabheka usizi lwabo lapho ezwa ukukhala kwabo. ⁴⁵Ngenxa yabo wasikhumbula isivumelwano sakhe, wazisola ngokobuningi bomusa wakhe othembekile. ⁴⁶Wenza bonke ababebathumbile ukuba babahawukele.

⁴⁷Sisindise, Baba wethu, usibuthe ezizweni, ukuze sibonge igama lakho elingcwele sethabe endumisweni yakho.

⁴⁸Makabongwe uBaba ka-Israyeli, kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade! Bonke abantu abathi, “Amen!” Haleluya!
