AMahubo 132

132 ¹Khumbula, Baba wethu, ngenxa kaDavida, zonke izinhlupheko azibekezelela, ²ukuthi wafunga kanjani kuBaba wethu, wenza isifungo koNamandla kaJakobe: ³“Angiyikungena ethendeni lendlu yami noma ngikhuphukele embhedeni wami; ⁴Angiyikuwavumela amehlo ami ukuba alale, nezinkophe zami ukozela, ⁵ngize ngitholele uBaba wethu indawo, indawo yokuhlala yoNamandla kaJakobe.”

⁶Bheka—thina sezwa ngomphongolo e-Efratha; thina sawuthola emasimini aseJahari. ^a a v6 I-Efratha yisifunda esiseduze neBhetlehema; iJahari libhekisela eKiriyati Jeyarimi, lapho umphongolo wesivumelwano wawuphumule khona uDavida engakawulethi eJerusalema. ⁷Masize endaweni yakhe yokuhlala; masikhothame esenabelweni sezinyawo zakhe. ⁸Vuka, Baba wethu, uze endaweni yakho yokuphumula, wena nomphongolo wamandla akho. ⁹Abapristi bakho mabembeswe ukulunga, nabathembekileyo bakho mabahlabelele ngenjabulo.

¹⁰Ngenxa kaDavida inceku yakho, ungafulatheli ogcotshiweyo wakho.

¹¹UBaba wethu wafunga kuDavida isifungo esiqinisekileyo angeke abuyele emuva kuso: “Oyophuma esiswini sakho ngiyakumbeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi. ^b b v11 UPhetro wamemezela ngePhentekoste ukuthi uBaba wethu wasigcina lesi sifungo ngokuvusa uJesu, inzalo kaDavida, ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida kuze kube phakade. ¹²Uma amadodana akho egcina isivumelwano sami nobufakazi engiyakubafundisa bona, khona amadodana abo ayakuhlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube phakade.”

¹³Ngokuba uBaba wethu uyikhethile iSiyoni; uyifisile ibe yindawo yakhe yokuhlala:

¹⁴“Le yindawo yami yokuphumula kuze kube phakade; lapha ngiyakuhlala khona, ngokuba ngiyifisile. ¹⁵Ngiyakubusisa ngokuchichima ukudla kwayo; ngiyakusuthisa abampofu bayo ngesinkwa. ¹⁶Abapristi bayo ngiyakubembesa insindiso, nabathembekileyo bayo bayakuhlabelela kakhulu ngenjabulo.

¹⁷“Lapho ngiyakwenza amandla kaDavida aphakame; ngilungisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibani. ¹⁸Izitha zakhe ngiyakuzembesa ihlazo, kodwa phezu kwakhe umqhele wakhe uyakukhazimula.”
