KumaHebheru
1 Endulo uNkulunkulu wakhuluma labokhokho bethu kanengi langezindlela ezinengi esebenzisa abaphrofethi.+ 2 Kodwa ekucineni kwensuku lezi ukhulume lathi esebenzisa iNdodana+ ayibeka ukuthi ibe yindlalifa yezinto zonke+ futhi wayisebenzisa ukwenza konke okukhona.*+ 3 Iveza inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu+ njalo ingumfanekiso wakhe uqobo+ futhi iphethe izinto zonke ngelizwi lakhe elilamandla. Yathi isihlambulule izono zethu+ yahlala esandleni sokudla sikaNkulunkulu Omkhulu, khonale phezulu.+ 4 Ngakho isiphakeme kakhulu kulezingilosi+ okokuthi isize yathola ilifa, elilibizo elihle kakhulu kulelazo.+
5 Ngokwesibonelo yiphi ingilosi uNkulunkulu ake wathi kuyo: “Wena uyindodana yami, lamuhla sengibe nguyihlo”?+ Wake wakhuluma yini ngengilosi wathi: “Ngizakuba nguyise yena abe yindodana yami”?+ 6 Kodwa nxa ekhuluma ngesikhathi lapho azaphinda alethe khona iZibulo+ lakhe emhlabeni uthi: “Zonke izingilosi zikaNkulunkulu kazimkhothamele.”
7 Uphinda akhulume ngezingilosi athi: “Wenza izingilosi zakhe zibe lamandla,* lezinceku zakhe*+ zibe lilangabi lomlilo.”+ 8 Kodwa nxa ekhuluma ngeNdodana uthi: “UNkulunkulu uyisihlalo sakho sobukhosi+ kuze kube nini lanini, lentonga yoMbuso wakho yintonga yokulunga.* 9 Wathanda ukulunga wazonda ukungabi lamthetho. Yikho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho, wakugcoba+ ngamafutha wakwenza wathokoza ukwedlula abanye bakho.”+ 10 Kuphinda kuthiwe: “Ekuqaleni wena Nkosi wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba njalo amazulu ayimisebenzi yezandla zakho. 11 Konke lokhu kuzatshabalala kodwa wena uzahlala ukhona. Kuzaguga njengesigqoko 12 futhi uzakugoqa njengejazi, ukugoqe njengesembatho. Kuzatshintshwa kodwa wena awutshintshi, leminyaka yakho ayisoze iphele.”+
13 Lanxa kunjalo yiphi ingilosi ake athi kuyo: “Hlala esandleni sami sokudla ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo* senyawo zakho”?+ 14 Kanti izingilosi zonke kazisizo zidalwa zomoya ezenza inkonzo engcwele?*+ Kayisizo yini uNkulunkulu azithuma ukuthi ziyencedisa labo abazathola ilifa lensindiso?
