AMahubo 22

22 ¹Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, kungani ungishiyile na? Kungani ukude kangaka nokungisindisa, ukude nokububula kwami kosizi? ^a a v1 UJesu wawathandaza amazwi okuqala aleli hubo esesiphambanweni. Leli hubo liphelele lingelakhe — lisuka ebuhlungwini bokushiywa liye ekukhulekelweni kwazo zonke izizwe.

²Baba wami, ngiyakhala emini, kodwa awuphenduli; ebusuku, kodwa angikutholi ukuphumula.

³Kodwa wena ungcwele, uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phezu kwezindumiso zika-Israyeli. ⁴Okhokho bethu bathembela kuwe; bathemba, wabakhulula. ⁵Bakhala kuwe bakhululwa; bathembela kuwe abajabhanga.

⁶Kodwa mina ngiyimpethu, hhayi umuntu, ngiyinhlekiso yabantu, ngidelelwe yisizwe. ⁷Bonke abangibonayo bayangihleka; bayangithuka, benikina amakhanda: ⁸Wethembela kuNkulunkulu; uNkulunkulu makamkhulule. UBaba wethu makamophule, njengoba uBaba wethu ethokoza ngaye.

⁹Kodwa nguwe owangikhipha esiswini; wangenza ngathembela ngisebeleni likamama. ¹⁰Kusukela ekuzalweni nganikelwa kuwe; kusukela esiswini sikamama ubulokhu unguBaba wami.

¹¹Ungabi kude nami, ngokuba usizi luseduze, futhi akekho ongisizayo.

¹²Izinkunzi eziningi zingihaqile; izinkunzi ezinamandla zaseBashani zingizungezile. ¹³Njengamabhubesi abhongayo adwengula inyamazane yawo, avula imilomo yawo kakhulu kimi. ¹⁴Ngithululiwe njengamanzi, amathambo ami onke akhumukile emalungeni. Inhliziyo yami iphenduke ingcino; incibilika phakathi kwami. ¹⁵Amandla ami omile njengobumba obomiswe yilanga, nolimi lwami lunamathele olwangeni lomlomo wami; ungibeka othulini lokufa.

¹⁶Izinja zingihaqile; iqembu lababi lingizungezile; babhobozile izandla zami nezinyawo zami. ^b b v16 Lokhu kwabhalwa eminyakeni eyinkulungwane ngaphambi kokuba ukubethelwa kwenziwe, kodwa le mininingwane — izandla nezinyawo ezibhotshoziwe, nezingubo ezahlukaniswayo ezilandelayo — yagcwaliseka esiphambanweni sikaJesu. ¹⁷Ngingawabala wonke amathambo ami; abantu bayangigqolozela, bejabulela ngami. ¹⁸Babelana ngezingubo zami, benzela izambatho zami inkatho.

¹⁹Kodwa wena, Baba wami, ungabi kude; wena ungamandla ami—sheshe uze ungisize. ²⁰Khulula umphefumulo wami enkembeni, impilo yami eyigugu emandleni ezinja. ²¹Ngisindise emlonyeni webhubesi; ezimpondweni zezinkunzi zasendle ungiphendulile. ^c c v21 Yilapha ihubo liphenduka khona: isikhathi esidlule esizumayo — “ungiphendulile” — sibonisa ukholo oluqinisekileyo lokuthi uNkulunkulu usephendulile.

²²Ngiyakumemezela igama lakho kubafowethu; ebandleni ngiyakukudumisa. ^d d v22 ITestamente Elisha libeka leli vesi emlonyeni kaJesu — iNdodana evukile imemezela igama likaYise phakathi kwabafowabo nodadewabo angenamahloni okubabiza ngokuthi ngabakhe. ²³Nina enesaba uBaba wethu, mdumiseni! Nonke nzalo kaJakobe, mhlonipheni! Mesabeni ngenhlonipho, nonke nzalo ka-Israyeli! ²⁴Ngokuba akakudelelanga futhi akakweyisanga ukuhlupheka kohluphekile; akasifihlanga ubuso bakhe kuye, kodwa ukulalele ukukhala kwakhe ecela usizo.

²⁵Kuvela kuwe ukudunyiswa kwami ebandleni elikhulu; phambi kwalabo abamesabayo ngiyakugcwalisa izifungo zami. ²⁶Abahluphekile bayakudla basuthe; abafuna uBaba wethu bayakumdumisa —izinhliziyo zenu maziphile kuze kube phakade!

²⁷Yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba iyakukhumbula iphendukele kuBaba wethu, nayo yonke imindeni yezizwe iyakukhothama phambi kwakhe. ²⁸Ngokuba umbuso ungokaBaba wethu, futhi uyabusa phezu kwezizwe.

²⁹Bonke abacebile bomhlaba bayakudla bakhuleke; bonke abehlela othulini bayakuguqa phambi kwakhe—labo abangekwazi ukuzigcina bephila. ³⁰Inzalo iyakumkhonza; izizukulwane ezizayo ziyakutshelwa ngoBaba oBusayo. ³¹Ziyakuza zimemezele ukulunga kwakhe esizweni esingakazalwa— ngokuba uBaba wethu ukwenzile lokhu.
