Indalo Iyakhuluma
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide.
Ofakazi ababili, behlangene. Ilanga nesibhakabhaka kukhuluma ngaphandle kwamazwi kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba; bese imfundiso kaBaba wethu ikhuluma ngokucacile, imnandi kunezinyosi zasekhekhebeni. Esezwe kokubili, umhubi ucela ukuhlanzwa emaphutheni angawaboni.
19 1Amazulu amemezela inkazimulo kaBaba wethu; isibhakabhaka simemezela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe. 2Usuku ngosuku athulula amazwi awo; ubusuku ngobusuku aveza ulwazi. 3Akukho ukukhuluma, akukho mazwi—izwi lawo alizwakali nakancane. 4Nokho izwi lawo liphumela kuwo wonke umhlaba, namazwi awo aye emkhawulweni womhlaba. Emazulwini umisele itende lelanga, 5elinjengomyeni ephuma ekamelweni lakhe, njengeqhawe elijabulela ukugijima emjahweni walo. 6Liphuma ngasecaleni elilodwa lamazulu, ukuzungeza kwalo kufinyelele kolunye; akukho okufihlakele ekushiseni kwalo.
7Umthetho kaBaba wethu uphelele, uvuselela umphefumulo; ubufakazi bukaBaba wethu buthembekile, buhlakaniphisa ongenalwazi. 8Iziyalezo zikaBaba wethu zilungile, zijabulisa inhliziyo; umyalo kaBaba wethu uyakhanya, ukhanyisa amehlo. 9Ukumesaba uBaba wethu kuhlanzekile, kumi kuze kube phakade; izahlulelo zikaBaba wethu ziyiqiniso, zilungile zonke ngokupheleleyo. 10Zifiseka ngaphezu kwegolide, ngisho negolide elicwengekile kakhulu; zimnandi kunoju, kunoju oluvela ekhekhebeni. 11Ziyayixwayisa inceku yakho; ukuzigcina kuletha umvuzo omkhulu.
12Ngubani ongaqonda amaphutha akhe? Ngihlambulule emaphutheni ami afihlakele. 13Yigcine futhi inceku yakho ezonweni zamabomu; mazingabusi phezu kwami. Khona-ke ngiyakuba ngongenacala, ongenamlandu wokuhlubuka okukhulu.
14Sengathi amazwi omlomo wami nokuzindla kwenhliziyo yami kungaba okujabulisayo emehlweni akho, Baba wami, dwala lami nomhlengi wami.
