AMahubo 69

69 ¹Ngisindise, Baba wami, ngokuba amanzi asenyukele entanyeni yami.

²Ngicwila odakeni olujulile, lapho kungekho ukuma ngezinyawo; ngisemanzini ajulile, isikhukhula singigubuzela. ³Ngikhathele ukukhala ngicela usizo; umphimbo wami womile. Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngokulinda uBaba wami. ⁴Abangizondayo ngaphandle kwesizathu baningi kunezinwele zekhanda lami; izitha eziningi zifuna ukungibhubhisa ngamanga azo. Lokho engingakuntshontshanga, kumele ngikubuyise manje.

⁵Baba wami, uyabazi ubuwula bami; amaphutha ami awasithekile kuwe. ⁶Mabangajabhi labo abathemba kuwe ngenxa yami, Baba wamabutho asezulwini; mabangahlazeki labo abakufunayo ngenxa yami, Baba ka-Israyeli. ⁷Ngithwele ihlazo ngenxa yakho; amahloni asibekele ubuso bami. ⁸Ngibe isihambi kubafowethu, owemzini kubantwana bakamama.

⁹Ngokuba ukushisekela indlu yakho kungidlile, nezithuko zalabo abakuthukayo zehlele phezu kwami. ^a a v9 Lapho uJesu ehlambulula ithempeli, abafundi bakhe bawakhumbula la mazwi njengalokhu ayebhalwe ngaye; uPawulu wabona umugqa wesibili ugcwaliseka kuKhristu, owathwala izithuko zomhlaba eziqondiswe kuBaba. ¹⁰Kwathi lapho ngikhala ngizithoba ngokuzila ukudla, kwaba yihlazo kimi. ¹¹Lapho ngenza izingubo zokulila zibe yizambatho zami, ngaba yinhlekisa kubo. ¹²Abahlezi esangweni bakhuluma ngami, ngiyingoma yezidakwa. ^b b v12 Isango lomuzi kwakuyindawo yokubuthana yesizwe sakwa-Israyeli sasendulo — lapho amalunga ayehlala khona, amacala ayethethwa, nezindaba zedolobha zazisabalala, njengenkundla yenkantolo.

¹³Kepha mina, umkhuleko wami ukuwe, Baba wami, ngesikhathi esamukelekayo; ngobuningi bomusa wakho ngiphendule, ngeqiniso lensindiso yakho. ¹⁴Ngophule odakeni; ungangiyekeli ngicwile. Ngikhulule kwabangizondayo nasemanzini ajulile. ¹⁵Ungavumeli isikhukhula singigubuzele, noma ukujula kungigwinye, noma umgodi uvale umlomo wawo phezu kwami.

¹⁶Ngiphendule, Baba wami, ngokuba umusa wakho muhle; ngobukhulu besihawu sakho phendukela kimi. ¹⁷Ungabufihli ubuso bakho encekwini yakho, ngokuba ngisekuhluphekeni; ngiphendule masinyane. ¹⁸Sondela kimi ungihlenge; ungikhulule ngenxa yezitha zami.

¹⁹Uyalazi ihlazo lami, amahloni ami, nokweyiswa kwami; zonke izitha zami ziphambi kwakho. ²⁰Ihlazo liphule inhliziyo yami, ngaphelelwa yithemba. Ngafuna uzwelo, kodwa lwalungekho, nabaduduzi, kodwa angibatholanga. ²¹Banginika ushevu kwaba ngukudla kwami, nasekomeni kwami bangiphuzisa iviniga. ^c c v21 Esiphambanweni banika uJesu iwayini elixutshwe nenyongo, newayini elimuncu kusiponji — ukuhlupheka uDavide ayehlabelela ngakho, okwaphilwa yiNdodana emakhulwini eminyaka kamuva.

²²Itafula elibekwe phambi kwabo malibe lugibe, nedili labo libe yisicupho. ^d d v22 UPawulu wawacaphuna la mazwi aqondiswe kulabo abakhubeka kuMesiya — kodwa injongo yakhe kwakuwumusa kubo, hhayi ukubhujiswa kwabo, elangazelela ukuba bonke balethwe ekhaya. ²³Amehlo abo mawafiphale ukuze bangaboni, wenze imihlane yabo igobe kuze kube phakade. ²⁴Thululela ulaka lwakho phezu kwabo, intukuthelo yakho evuthayo mayibafice. ²⁵Inkambu yabo mayibe yincithakalo; makungabikho ohlala emathendeni abo. ^e e v25 UPhethro wabona leli vesi ligcwaliseka kuJuda, ondawo yakhe phakathi kwabaphostoli yashiywa ize yanikwa omunye. ²⁶Ngokuba bayamhlupha lowo omshayile, bakhuluma ngobuhlungu balabo obalimazile. ²⁷Benezele icala phezu kwecala; mabangangeni ekulungeni kwakho. ²⁸Mabesulwe encwadini yokuphila, bangabalwa kanye nabalungileyo.

²⁹Kodwa ngihluphekile ngisebuhlungwini; insindiso yakho, Baba wami, mayingimise phezulu endaweni ephephile.

³⁰Ngiyakulidumisa igama likaBaba wethu ngengoma; ngiyakumkhulisa ngokubonga. ³¹Lokhu kuyakumthokozisa uBaba wethu ngaphezu kwenkabi, ngaphezu kwenkunzi enezimpondo namasondo. ³²Abathobekileyo bayakukubona bajabule; nina enifuna uBaba wethu, izinhliziyo zenu mazivuseleleke. ³³Ngokuba uBaba wethu uyabezwa abaswelayo, akabadeleli abantu bakhe abayiziboshwa.

³⁴Izulu nomhlaba makumdumise, izilwandle nakho konke okunyakaza kuzo. ³⁵Ngokuba uBaba wethu uyakuyisindisa iZiyoni, ayakwakha kabusha imizi yakwaJuda; abantu bakhe bayakuhlala khona bayidle ifa. ³⁶Inzalo yezinceku zakhe iyakulidla ifa, labo abathanda igama lakhe bayakuhlala kulo.
