Isiliva Elicwengwe Kasikhombisa
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ngokwesheminiti. Ihubo likaDavida.
Abathembekileyo banyamalele, futhi wonke umuntu uthophela ngenhliziyo ehlukene. Umhubi ucela ukuba izilimi eziziqhayisayo zinqunywe, futhi uthola impendulo: ngoba abaswelayo bayabubula, uBaba wethu uthi uzosukuma. Amazwi akhe ayisiliva elicwengwe kasikhombisa.
12 1Siza, Baba wethu, ngokuba abathembekileyo sebephelile; abaqotho banyamalele phakathi kwabantwana babantu. 2Umuntu ngamunye uqamba amanga kumakhelwane wakhe; bakhuluma ngezindebe ezithophayo nangenhliziyo ehlukene phakathi. 3Sengathi uBaba wethu angazinquma zonke izindebe ezithophayo nalo lonke ulimi oluqhosha ngezinto ezinkulu, 4abathi: “Ngolimi lwethu sizonqoba; izindebe zethu ngezethu—ubani oyinkosi phezu kwethu?”
5“Ngenxa yokuthi abampofu bayaphangwa, ngenxa yokuthi abaswele bayabubula, manje sengizovuka,” kusho uBaba wethu. “Ngizombeka ekuphepheni lowo okulangazelelayo.”
6Amazwi kaBaba wethu angamazwi amsulwa, isiliva elicwengwe esithandweni somhlabathi, elihlanziwe kasikhombisa. 7Wena, Baba wethu, uzobalondoloza abaswele bephephile; uzosivikela kulesi sizukulwane kuze kube phakade. 8Ababi bayazula nxazonke lapho amanyala ephakanyiswa phakathi kwabantwana babantu.
