68 1UBaba wethu makavuke; izitha zakhe mazihlakazeke, nabamzondayo mababaleke phambi kwakhe. 2Njengoba intuthu iphephethwa, baphephethe kanjalo; njengoba ingcino incibilika phambi komlilo, ababi mababhubhe kanjalo phambi kukaBaba wethu. 3Kodwa abalungileyo mabajabule; mabathokoze phambi kukaBaba wethu; mabaethabe ngenjabulo. 4Hlabelelani kuBaba wethu, hubani izindumiso egameni lakhe; phakamiselani ingoma kulowo ogibela ngasezinkangala—igama lakhe nguBaba wethu—nithabe phambi kwakhe. 5Unguyise kwezintandane nomvikeli wabafelokazi, nguBaba wethu osendaweni yakhe engcwele. 6UBaba wethu uhlalisa abanesizungu ekhaya; ukhipha iziboshwa azihole ziye empumelelweni, kodwa abahlubukayo bahlala ezweni elomileyo. 7Baba wethu, mhla waphuma phambi kwabantu bakho, mhla wadabula ihlane, 8umhlaba wazamazama, amazulu athulula imvula phambi kukaBaba wethu, yena waseSinayi, phambi kukaBaba ka-Israyeli. 9Baba wethu, wathulula imvula ngokuchichima; walivuselela ifa lakho mhla selikhathele. 10Umhlambi wakho wafumana indawo yokuhlala kulo; ngobuhle bakho, Baba wethu, walungiselela abampofu. 11INkosi uBaba wethu uyalikhipha izwi; mkhulu umhlambi wabesifazane abamemezela izindaba ezinhle: 12Amakhosi amabutho ayabaleka, ayabaleka, nowesifazane osala ekhaya wehlukanisa impango. 13Noma nilala phakathi kwezibaya zezimvu— amaphiko ejuba asibekelwe ngesiliva, izinsiba zalo zicwebezela ngegolide. a a v13 Ijuba elicwebezelayo lingamela inkazimulo yabantu bakaNkulunkulu ngisho nalapho bephumule, noma impango enothileyo ethwalwa iyiswa ekhaya ivela ekunqobeni. 14Mhla uSomandla ehlakaza amakhosi lapho, kwana iqhwa eZalimoni. 15Ntaba enobukhosi, ntaba yaseBashani; ntaba eneziqongo eziningi, ntaba yaseBashani! 16Nibukelelani ngomona, nina zintaba eziqongo ziningi, intaba uBaba wethu ayifisele ukuhlala kwakhe na? Yebo, uBaba wethu uyohlala khona kuze kube phakade. 17Izinqola zikaBaba wethu zingamashumi ezinkulungwane, izinkulungwane phezu kwezinkulungwane; iNkosi uBaba wethu iphakathi kwazo; iSinayi lisendaweni engcwele. 18Wenyukela phezulu, uhola udwendwe lwezithunjwa ngemuva kwakho; wamukela izipho kubantu, ngisho naphakathi kwabahlubukayo, ukuze uBaba wethu ahlale khona. b b v18 UPawulu uveza leli vesi likhuluma ngoJesu—lapho enyukela phezulu wahola izithunjwa zakhululeka, wabe esenika abantu bakhe izipho (Kwabase-Efesu 4:8). Ukunqoba leli hubo elihlabelela ngakho ngoBaba wethu kunqotshwa futhi kwabelwane ngeNdodana. 19Makabongwe iNkosi uBaba wethu, imihla ngemihla; uyasithwala— uBaba wensindiso yethu.
20UBaba wethu kithi unguye osindisayo; futhi izindlela zokuphunyuka ekufeni zingezeNkosi uBaba wethu. 21Kodwa uBaba wethu uyochoboza amakhanda ezitha zakhe, ukhakhayi olunoboya lwalowo oqhubeka ehamba ezindleleni zakhe zecala.
22INkosi uBaba wethu yathi: “Ngiyobabuyisa eBashani; ngiyobabuyisa ekujuleni kolwandle, 23ukuze ugeze izinyawo zakho egazini lazo, ukuze izilimi zezinja zakho zithole isabelo sazo esitheni.”
24Babona izindwendwe zakho, Baba wethu, izindwendwe zikaBaba wami, iNkosi yami, ziya endlini engcwele. 25Abahlabeleli phambili, abashayi bezinsimbi ngemuva, phakathi kwabo izintombi zishaya izigubhu: 26Bongani uBaba wethu ebandleni elikhulu; bongani uBaba wethu, nina enidabuka emthonjeni ka-Israyeli! 27Nangu uBhenjamini, omncane, ebahola, izikhulu zakwaJuda sexuku lazo, izikhulu zakwaZebuloni, izikhulu zakwaNafetali. 28UBaba wenu uwamisile amandla enu; bonisa amandla akho, Baba wethu, njengoba wasenzela ngaphambili. 29Ngenxa yethempeli lakho eliseJerusalema, amakhosi ayokulethela izipho. 30Khuza isilo semihlanga, umhlambi wezinkunzi kanye namankonyane abantu. Nyathela phansi labo abahahela isiliva; hlakaza abantu abathokozela impi. c c v30 Isilo semihlanga cishe yingwenya noma imvubu—uphawu lwasendulo lweGibhithe olucathamela emihlangeni yeNayile. 31Izithunywa ziyovela eGibhithe; iKushi iyophuthuma yelulele izandla zayo kuBaba wethu. 32Mibuso yomhlaba, hlabelelani kuBaba wethu; hubani izindumiso eNkosini uBaba wethu, 33kulowo ogibela emazulwini, amazulu asendulo—lalelani, ukhipha izwi lakhe, izwi lakhe elinamandla. 34Nikani uBaba wethu amandla, obukhosi bakhe buphezu kuka-Israyeli namandla akhe asesibhakabhakeni. 35Uyesabeka uBaba wethu esendaweni yakhe engcwele; uBaba ka-Israyeli—nguye onika abantu bakhe amandla nezikhwepha. Makabongwe uBaba wethu!
