INTSHUMAYELI 9

Chwayitha kobu ubomi!
1Ngokuba yonke le nto ndayinyamekela ngentliziyo yam, ndayihléla yonke le nto, yokuba amalungisa, nezilumko, nemisebenzi yabo, isesandleni sikaThixo; nokuthanda nokuthiya, akukhona ekwazini kwabantu; le nto yonke basebeyimiselwe. 2Izinto zonke zibahlèla ngokufanayo bonke: sinye isihlo kwilungisa nakongendawo; kolungileyo, kohlambulukileyo, nakoyinqambi; kobingelelayo nakongabingeleliyo; njengoko anjalo olungileyo, unjalo nomoni; ofungayo unjengalowo ukoyikayo ukufunga.
3Le yinto embi phakathi kwezinto zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga, ukuthi sibe sinye isihlo kubo bonke; ibe nentliziyo yoonyana babantu izele bububi; ibubugeza entliziyweni yabo besadla ubomi; emveni kwabo kuyiwa kwabafileyo. 4Ngokuba kosukuba ehlonyelwa kwabasadla ubomi, kusekho ithemba; ngokuba inja esaphilileyo ilunge ngaphezu kwengonyama efileyo. 5Ngokuba abadla ubomi bayazi ukuba baya kufa; ke bona abafileyo àbazi lutho, àbasabi namvuzo; ngokuba balityelwe, àbasakhunjulwa nganto. 6Seluphelile kade uthando lwabo, nentiyo yabo, nekhwele labo; àbasenasabelo naphakade ezintweni zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga.
7Yiya udle isonka sakho unovuyo, usele iwayini yakho unentliziyo echwayithileyo; ngokuba sekukade ekholisiwe uThixo zizenzo zakho. 8Iingubo zakho mazibe mhlophe ngamaxesha onke, neoli mayingasweleki entlokweni yakho. 9Hlala kakuhle nomfazi omthandileyo ngemihla yonke yobomi bakho obungamampunge, akunikileyo phantsi kwelanga, ngemihla yakho yonke engamampunge; ngokuba sisabelo sakho eso ebomini, nasemigudwini yakho owaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga. 10Yonke into esiyifumanayo isandla sakho ukuba siyenze, yenzé ngamandla akho; ngokuba akukho kwenza, nakucinga, nakwazi, nakulumka kwelabafileyo, apho uya khona wena.
11Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga, ukuba ukugidima asikokwabanamendu, imfazwe asiyeyamagorha; kananjalo isonka asisesezilumko; kananjalo ubutyebi asibobabanenqiqo; kananjalo ubabalo asilolwabanokwazi; ngokuba bonke bephela bafikelwa lixesha nasisihlo. 12Ngokuba umntu akalazi nexesha lakhe; njengeentlanzi ezibanjiswe ngomnatha ombi, nanjengeentaka ezibanjiswe ngomgibe, banjalo ukurhintyelwa kwabo oonyana babantu ngexesha elibi, xa libawele ngesiquphe.
13Nale nto ndiyibone ibubulumko phantsi kwelanga, babukhulu kum: 14umzi omncinane unamadoda ambalwa; kweza kuwo ukumkani omkhulu, wawungqinga, wawakhela iimboniselo ezinkulu. 15Wafumana kuwo indoda elihlwempu inobulumko; yona yawusiza umzi ngobulumko bayo; ke akubangakho mntu ubuya ayikhumbule le ndoda ilihlwempu. 16Ndathi ke mna, Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kobugorha; kodwa ubulumko beli hlwempu budelekile, namazwi alo akaviwa.
17Amazwi ezilumko, eviwe ngokuthozama, angaphezu kokunkqangaza kolawula phakathi kwezidenge. 18Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kweempahla zokulwa; ke yena umoni emnye utshabalalisa okulungileyo okuninzi.
