1 Njengoba iNkhosi yembulile kimi kutsi titsa tami, letiseMissouri nakulesi Sifundza, besetiphindze tingitingela futsi; ngenca yekutsi tingitingela ngaphandle kwesizatfu, futsi tite nalokuncane kulunga noma lokulungile ngakuto ekuhleleni kumangalelwa kwami; futsi ngenca yekutsi tinsolo tabo tisekelwe emangeni lamabi kakhulu, ngikubone kufanele futsi kukuhlakanipha kimi kutsi ngiyishiye lendzawo kwesikhashana, kwentela kuphepha kwami nekuphepha kwalaba bantfu. Ngifuna kusho kubo bonkhe lengisebentisana nabo, kutsi ngishiye emabhizinisi ami kuto titfunywa nabomabhalane labatawuchuba wonkhe umsebenti ngekushesha nangendlela lefanele, futsi batawucinisekisa kutsi tonkhe tikweleti tami tiyabhadalwa ngesikhatsi lesifanele, ngekudayisa imphahla, noma ngandlela tsite, njengoba kungase kudzingeke, noma njengoba kungavuma simo. Uma sengitfola kutsi lesivunguvungu sesendlulile, ngitawubese sengiyabuya kini futsi.

2 Ngalokuphatselene netingoti lengibitelwe kutsi ngendlule kuto, tibukeka tiyintfo lencane kimi, ngoba umona nelulaka lwebantfu bekuyintfo lejwayelekile kuwo onkhe emalanga ekuphila kwami; futsi sizatfu saloku asicondzakali, ngaphandle uma ngamiselwa umhlaba ungakasekelwa ngenjongo letsite lenhle, noma lembi, njengoba ningakhetsa kuyibita kanjalo. Tenteleni sincumo nine. Nkulunkulu wati konkhe, noma kuhle noma kubi. Kodvwa noko, emanti lajulile ngitayele kubhukusha kuwo. Konkhe sekute kwaba yintfo lejwayelekile kimi; futsi ngifisa, njengaPawula, kutfokota elusizini; ngoba kute kube ngulelilanga Nkulunkulu wabokhokho ungikhululile kulo lonkhe, futsi usatawungikhulula kusukela manje kuya phambili; ngoba bukani, nibone, ngitawuncoba kuto tonkhe titsa tami, ngoba iNkhosi Nkulunkulu ikushilo loko.

3 Ngako-ke labangcwele bonkhe abajabule, baphindze batfokote kakhulu; ngoba Nkulunkulu wa-Israyeli unguNkulunkulu wabo, futsi utawuletsa umvuzo lofanele kubo bonkhe bacindzeteli babo.

4 Ngetulu kwaloko, ngicinisile naku lokushiwo yiNkhosi: Umsebenti welithempeli lami, nayo yonkhe imisebenti lenginimisele yona, ayichutjwe ingemi; kukhutsala kwenu, nekuphikelela kwenu, nekubeketela, nemisebenti yenu ayiphindvwaphindvwe, futsi aniyuke nilahlekelwe ngumvuzo wenu, kusho iNkhosi yemaBandla. Futsi uma banihlupha, babahlupha kanjalo nebaphrofethi nemadvodza lalungile lanendvulela. Ngako konkhe loku kukhona umvuzo ezulwini.

5 Ngetulu kwaloko, ngininika umlayeto ngalokuphatselene nekubhajatiselwa labafile benu.

6 Ngicinisile, naku lokushiwo yiNkhosi ngalokuphatselene nalabafile benu: Uma kukhona kini lobhabhatisela labafile benu, akube khona lobhalisako, futsi akabe ngufakazi walemibhabhatiso yenu; akeve ngetindlebe takhe, kute afakaze ngeliciniso, kusho iNkhosi;

7 Kute kuyo yonkhe imibhalo yenu kubhalwe nasezulwini; kutsi lenikubopha emhlabeni kuboshwe nasezulwini; noma lenikukhulula emhlabeni, kukhululwe nasezulwini;

8 Ngoba sengitawubuyisela tintfo letiningi emhlabeni, letiphatselene nebuphristi, kusho iNkhosi yemaBandla.

9 Ngetulu kwaloko, yonkhe imibhalo ayigcinwe ngekuhleleka, kute ibekwe emsamo wekugcina imibhalo welithempeli lami lelingcwele, igcinwe kute ikhunjulwe titukulwane ngetitukulwane, kusho iNkhosi yemaBandla.

10 Ngifuna kutsi kubo bonkhe labangcwele, bengifisa, ngesifiso lesikhulu kakhulu, kutsi ngikhulume nabo ngisepulupiti ngendzaba yekubhajatiselwa labafile, ngeliSabatha lelilandzelako. Kodvwa ngoba akukho emandleni ami kukwenta loko, ngitawubhala livi leNkhosi tikhatsi ngetikhatsi, ngaloludzaba, bese ngilitfumela kini ngeliposi, kanye naletinye tintfo letiningi.

11 Sengiyayivala incwadzi yami kwamanje, ngenca yekweswela sikhatsi lesenele; ngoba sitsa sigadzile, futsi njengoba uMsindzisi asho, umbusi walelive uyeta, kodvwa akanamandla etikwami.

12 Bukani, umthandazo wami kuNkulunkulu kutsi nonkhe nisindziswe. Futsi ngisayina njengenceku yenu eNkhosini, umphrofethi nemboni weliBandla laJesu Khristu lalabaNgcwele beTinsuku Tekugcina.
