94 ¹uBaba wethu oletha ubulungiswa—Baba wethu; uBaba wethu oletha ubulungiswa, khanya! ²Vuka, Mahluleli womhlaba; buyisela abazidlayo ngalokho abakufanelekelayo. ³Koze kube nini ababi, Baba wethu—koze kube nini ababi bejabula ngokunqoba?

⁴Baphuphuma amazwi okuzidla; bonke abenzi bobubi bayazigabisa. ⁵Bayabachoboza abantu bakho, Baba wethu, bacindezele nefa lakho. ⁶Babulala umfelokazi nowezizwe, babulale nezintandane. ⁷Bathi: “uSimakade akaboni; uNkulunkulu kaJakobe akanaki.”

⁸Qaphelani, nina eningenangqondo phakathi kwabantu; nina ziwula, niyakuhlakanipha nini? ⁹Owatshala indlebe akezwa na? Owabumba iso akaboni na? ¹⁰Yena oyala izizwe akabaqondisi na—yena ofundisa abantu ulwazi? ¹¹uBaba wethu uyayazi imicabango yabantu, ukuthi iwumoya nje.

¹²Ubusisiwe umuntu omyalayo, Baba wethu, umfundise emthethweni wakho, ¹³umphumuze ezinsukwini zenhlupheko, kuze kumbelwe ababi umgodi. ¹⁴Ngokuba uBaba wethu akayikubashiya abantu bakhe; akayikulilahla ifa lakhe. ¹⁵Ngokuba ubulungiswa buyakubuyela kwabalungileyo, bonke abaqotho enhliziyweni bayakubulandela.

¹⁶Ngubani oyakungivukela amelane nababi? Ngubani oyakungimela kubenzi bobubi? ¹⁷Uba uBaba wethu wayengebe ngumsizi wami, umphefumulo wami ngabe usuhlala masinyane ekuthuleni kokufa. ¹⁸Lapho ngithi: “Unyawo lwami luyashelela,” umusa wakho, Baba wethu, wangisekela. ¹⁹Lapho ukukhathazeka kwakukukhulu ngaphakathi kimi, induduzo yakho yajabulisa umphefumulo wami.

²⁰Isihlalo sobukhosi esonakele singahlanganyela nawe na—esenza ukungalungi kube ngumthetho? ²¹Bayahlangana bamelane nokuphila kwabalungileyo, bagwebele ongenacala ukufa. ²²Kodwa uBaba wethu useyinqaba yami, noBaba wethu uyidwala lesiphephelo sami. ²³Uyakubuyisela isono sabo phezu kwabo, abachithe ngenxa yobubi babo; uBaba wethu uyakubachitha.
