109 ¹Baba wendumiso yami, ungathuli, ²ngokuba imilomo emibi neyenkohliso ivulekile ukumelana nami; bakhuluma ngami ngezilimi zamanga. ³Ngamazwi enzondo bangihaqile, bangihlasela ngaphandle kwesizathu. ⁴Esikhundleni sothando lwami bayangimangalela, kodwa mina ngizinikela emkhulekweni. ⁵Bangiphindisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle, nenzondo esikhundleni sothando lwami.

⁶Mbekele umuntu omubi ukumelana naye; makume ummangaleli ngakwesokunene sakhe. ⁷Lapho ethethwa icala, makaphume enecala; umkhuleko wakhe mawube yisono. ⁸Izinsuku zakhe mazibe mbalwa; omunye makathathe isikhundla sakhe. ^a a v8 UPhethro walisebenzisa leli vesi kuJuda Iskariyothe lapho abaphostoli bekhetha uMathiya ukuba athathe isikhundla sakhe — IzEnzo 1:20. ⁹Abantwana bakhe mababe yizintandane, nomkakhe abe ngumfelokazi. ¹⁰Abantwana bakhe mabazulazule bacele, bexoshwa emizini yabo echithekile. ¹¹Umkweletisi makathumbe konke anakho; izihambi maziphange izithelo zomsebenzi wakhe. ¹²Makungabikho noyedwa owelulela umusa kuye, nangoyedwa ozohawukela abantwana bakhe abayizintandane. ¹³Inzalo yakhe mayinqunywe; igama labo malesulwe esizukulwaneni esilandelayo. ¹⁴Icala laboyise malikhunjulwe phambi kukaBaba wethu, nesono sikanina masingesulwa. ¹⁵Izono zabo mazibe phambi kukaBaba wethu njalonjalo, ukuze asule inkumbulo yabo emhlabeni.

¹⁶Ngokuba akazange akhumbule ukubonisa umusa, kodwa wazingela abampofu nabaswele nabanhliziyo ezaphukile, ukuze ababulale. ¹⁷Wayethanda ukuqalekisa; makubuyele kuye. Akazange athokoze ekubusiseni; makube kude naye. ¹⁸Wazembathisa ukuqalekisa njengesembatho sakhe; makungene emzimbeni wakhe njengamanzi, njengamafutha emathanjeni akhe. ¹⁹Makube njengengubo azembesa ngayo, njengebhande alibhinca njalonjalo. ²⁰Lokhu makube umvuzo wabangimangalelayo ovela kuBaba wethu, wabakhuluma okubi ngomphefumulo wami.

²¹Kodwa wena, Baba oBusayo, ngiphathe ngomusa ngenxa yegama lakho; ngokuba uthando lwakho lwesivumelwano luhle, ngikhulule. ²²Ngokuba ngimpofu futhi ngiswele, nenhliziyo yami ilimele phakathi kwami. ²³Ngiyanyamalala njengethunzi lakusihlwa; ngiyathintithwa njengesikhonyane. ²⁴Amadolo ami abuthakathaka ngenxa yokuzila ukudla; umzimba wami usuzacile wacaka. ²⁵Sengiyinto yokwedelelwa kubangimangalelayo; lapho bengibona, banikina amakhanda abo.

²⁶Ngisize, Baba wami; ngisindise ngokothando lwakho lwesivumelwano. ²⁷Mabazi ukuthi lesi yisandla sakho, ukuthi wena, Baba wami, ukwenzile. ²⁸Mabaqalekise, kodwa wena uyobusisa. Lapho bevuka bayojabha, kodwa inceku yakho iyojabula. ²⁹Abangimangalelayo mabembathiswe ihlazo; mabazembese ngamahloni abo njengengubo.

³⁰Ngomlomo wami ngiyakubonga kakhulu kuBaba wethu; phakathi kwesixuku ngiyakumdumisa. ³¹Ngokuba umi ngakwesokunene soswele, ukuze amsindise kwabalahla umphefumulo wakhe.
