IMini yeNkosi iyeza
1Zihlobo zam, yeyesibini le ngoku incwadi endinibhalela yona. Kuzo zombini ezi ncwadi bendizama ukuvuselela iingcinga ezintle ezingqondweni zenu. 2Bendinikhumbuza izinto ezathethwa *ngabashumayeli abangcwele mandulo, kwanemiyalelo yeNkosi noMsindisi enayixelelwayo *ngabathunywa. 3Mayisicacele into yokuba imihla yokugqibela iza nabantu abangoodelihlazo nabagxeki. 4Baza kunenza intlekisa besithi: “Wayethe uya kubuya eze. Úphi kaloku ngoku? Oobawo sebafa, yaye into yonke isenjengoko yayinjalo kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi!” 5Bakhetha ukuyilibala abo bantu into yokuba amazulu la ayekho kakade kwasekuqaleni, nokuba ihlabathi eli ladalwa ngamanzi ngelizwi likaThixo. 6Yaye latshatyalaliswa kwangamanzi; nditsho amanzi kanogumbe. 7Kanti ke kwaesi sibhakabhaka sikhoyo nehlabathi zigcinwe kwalelo lizwi likaThixo. Zilinde umhla ekuya kugwetywa ngawo ngomlilo kutshatyalaliswe abantu abangamkhathalelanga uThixo.
8Ze nikhumbule le ndawo ke, zihlobo zam: umhla omnye kuThixo uyafana newaka leminyaka, newaka leminyaka lifana nomhla omnye. 9Ke iNkosi ayikubambezeli ukuzalisekiswa kwesithembiso esenzileyo, njengoko abanye baba kunjalo. Nto nje ininyamezele kuba ingafuni kutshabalale mntu. Koko ifuna wonke ubani afumane ithuba lokuguquka.
10Ke yona iMini yeNkosi iya kufika njengesela ingalindelekanga. Ngaloo mini amazulu aya kutsho ngenzwinini yengxolo, aze ke wona aphel' emehlweni. Ngokunjalo neziseko zawo ziya kutshiswa ngumlilo ziphele. Wona umhlaba nako konke okukuwo kuya kusala kuze; uya kunyamalala. 11Xa ke eli phakade liza kutshabalala kanje, ngaba kufuneka nithini nina? Kufuneka nizinikele ngokupheleleyo, niphile ubomi obunyulu. 12Kufuneka nenze unako-nako, nilangazelela ukuba ikhawuleze imini kaThixo. Ewe, loo mini iya kuwalenya ngomlilo amazulu atshabalale; ngokunjalo neziseko zawo ziya kunyibilika. 13Kambe ke thina silindele isithembiso sikaThixo, samazulu nehlabathi elitsha, apho kuya kulawula ucwangco.
14Zihlobo zam, njengoko ke nisajong' enkalweni kweli dinga, hlalani nilungelelene noThixo; ningenabala, ningakhalazeleki nganto kuye. 15Qondani kakuhle ukuba umonde weNkosi ufezekisa usindiso lwenu. Andithi kaloku nowethu othandekayo uPawulos utsho kwiincwadi zakhe azibhala phantsi kwefuthe nobulumko bukaThixo! 16Kambe ke unjalo kakade xa ethetha ngale nyewe. Phofu ke kukho iindawo ezinzima ezincwadini zakhe. Ke zona izityhakala nabathandabuzi bazitolika gwenxa, njengoko besenza kakade *eziBhalweni. Ngokwenjenjalo ke bazibizela intshabalalo.
17Ke nina, zihlobo zam, senilunyukisiwe. Ngoko ke lumkani, hleze aba basweli-kuqiqa banilukuhlele kwezo mpazamo zabo. Ngoko ke yimani ningagungqi. 18Ewe, kholosani ngesisa seNkosi, nikhule nakuko ukwazana neNkosi noMsindisi wethu uYesu Krestu. Bobakhe ubungangamsha ngoku nangonaphakade! *Amen.
