23 Kwaye kungoko abeke icebo lobuqhetseba, ecinga ukutshabalalisa umsebenzi kaThixo; kodwa ndiya kufuna oku ezandleni zabo, kwaye kuya kujikela ezintlonini zabo nasekugwetyweni ngomhla awomgwebo.
24 Ewe, uxhokonxela iintliziyo zabo emsindweni ngokuchasene nalo msebenzi.
25 Ewe, uthi kubo: Khohlisani nize nixoke nilalele ukubamba, ukuze nitshabalalise; qaphelani, oku akuyongozi. Kwaye kungoko abakhohlisayo, aze abaxelele ukuba akusiso isono aukuxoka kuba banokubamba umntu ekuxokeni, babe banokumtshabalalisa.

30 Qaphela, ndithi kuwe, okokuba awusayi kuguqulela ngokuchasene naloo mazwi athe ahamba ngaphambili ephuma ezandleni zakho;
31 Kuba, qaphela, abayi kuphumelela kwinjongo yabo embi ekuxokeni ngokuchasene naloo mazwi. Kuba, qaphela, ukuba uya kuzisa ngaphambili amazwi afanayo baya kuthi ukuba uxokile kwaye wenze ngathi uguqulele, kodwa uphikisene nesiqu sakho.

33 Kungoko auSathana acinga ukoyisa ubungqina bakho kwesi sizukulwana, okokuba umsebenzi ungabi nakuza ngaphambili kwesi sizukulwana.
34 Kodwa qaphela, nabu ubulumko, kwaye ngenxa yokuba ndikubonisa aubulumko, kwaye ndikunika imiyalelo ngokunxulumene nezi zinto, oko uya kukwenza, ungazibonisi ehlabathini kude kube umsebenzi wokuguqulela uwugqibile.
35 Ungamangaliswa koko ndikuthetha kuwe: Nabu ubulumko, ungazibonisi ehlabathini—kuba ndatsho, ungazibonisi ehlabathini, ukuze ube nokukhuselwa.

38 Kwaye ngoku, inene ndithi kuwe, okokuba ingxelo yezoo azinto ozibhalileyo, eziphumele ngaphandle ezandleni zakho, ikrolwe phezu bkwamacwecwe kaNifayi;
39 Ewe, kwaye uyayikhumbula yayixeliwe kuloo mibhalo yokokuba ingxelo engekumbi yezi zinto yanikwa phezu kwamacwecwe kaNifayi.
40 Kwaye ngoku, ngenxa yokuba ingxelo ekrolwe phezu kwamacwecwe kaNifayi ingakumbi ngokunxulumene ngezinto ezo, ebulumkweni bam, ndiya kuzizisa elwazini lwabantu kulengxelo—
41 Ke ngoko, uya kuguqulela imikrolo aesemacwecweni kaNifayi, ukuhla nokokude ufike kulawulo lukakumkani uBhenjamin, okanye ude ufike koko ukuguquleleyo, uthe wakugcuna;
42 Kwaye qaphela, uya kuyipapasha njengembali kaNifayi; kwaye kungoko ndiya kubabhidanisa abo bawajikileyo amazwi am.
43 Andiyi kuyekela ukuba babe baya kutshabalalisa umsebenzi wam; ewe, ndiya kubonisa kubo okokuba ubulumko bam bukhulu ngakumbi kunobuqhetseba bomtyholi.
44 Qaphela, banenxenye nje kuphela, okanye isishwankathelo sengxelo kaNifayi.
45 Qaphela, kukho izinto zininzi ezikrolwe phezu kwamacwecwe kaNifayi eziphosa iimbono ezinkulu ngakumbi phezu kwevangeli yam; ke ngoko, bubulumko kum okokuba uguqulele le nxenye yokuqala yemikrolo kaNifayi, kwaye uyithumele ngaphambili kulo msebenzi.
46 Kwaye, qaphela, yonke intsalela yalo amsebenzi iqulathe zonke ezoo nxenye bzevangeli yam ezo abaprofeti bam abangcwele, ewe, kananjalo nabafundi bam, cbanqwenela emithandazweni yalo zibe ziza ngaphambili kubo aba bantu.
47 Kwaye ndathi kubo, oko kuya akunikwa kubo ngokunxulumene bnokholo lwabo emithandazweni yabo;
48 Ewe, kwaye oku kwakulukholo lwabo—lokuba ivangeli yam, endiyinike bona okokuba babe nokuyishumayela ngemihla yabo, ibe nokuza kubo abazalwana babo aamaLeymenayithi, kananjalo konke okwaba ngamaLeymenayithi ngenxa yeempikiswano zabo.
49 Ngoku, oku asikuko konke—ukholo lwabo emithandazweni yabo yayilelokuba le vangeli ibe nokwaziswa kanjalo, ukuba bekunokwenzeka okokuba ezinye izizwe zibe zibanga eli lizwe;
50 Kwaye kungoko bashiya intsikelelo phezu kweli lizwe emithandazweni yabo, yokokuba nawuphina oya kukholelwa kule vangeli kweli lizwe abe nobomi obungunaphakade;
51 Ewe, okokuba ibe nokufunyanwa ngokukhululekileyo kubo bonke balo nasiphina isizwe, isalamane, ulwimi, okanye abantu apho banokubakho khona.
52 Kwaye ngoku, qaphela, ngokunxulumene nokholo lwabo emithandazweni yabo ndiya kuzisa le nxenye yevangeli yam elwazini lwabantu bam. Qaphela, andiyiziseli ukuba itshabalalise oko sebekufumene, kodwa ukuyakha.
53 Kwaye ngale njongo endathi: Ukuba esi sizukulwana asizenzi lukhuni iintliziyo zaso, ndiya kuseka ibandla lam phakathi kwaso.
54 Ngoku andikuthethi oku ukutshabalalisa ibandla lam, kodwa ndithetha oku ukwakha ibandla lam;
55 Ke ngoko, nabani na ongowebandla lam akanayo imfuneko ayokoyika, kuba abanjalo baya bkubudla ilifa cubukumkani bezulu.

58 aNdilukhanyiselo olwabonakala ebumnyameni, baza ubumnyama abaluqiqa.
59 Ndinguye lowo wathi—aEzinye bizimvu endinazo ezingezizo ezalo mhlambi—kulo abafundi bam, nakwabaninzi kwabakho abo cbangandiqondanga noko.
60 Kwaye ndiya kubonisa kuba aba bantu okokuba ndinezinye izimvu, nokokuba zazilisebe alendlu kaYakobi;
61 Kwaye ndiya kuzisa ekukhanyeni imisebenzi yabo emangalisayo, abayenzayo egameni lam;
62 Ewe, kwaye ndiya kuzisa kanjalo ekukhanyeni ivangeli yam eyafundiswayo kubo, kwaye, qaphela, abayi kukuphika oko nikufumeneyo, kodwa baya kukwakha, eyinyani aimfundiso yam, ewe, nekuphela kwefundiso ekum.
