UMtjhumayeli

11 Phosela uburotho bakho ngemanzini+ ngombana ngemva kwamalanga amanengi uzobufumana godu.+ 2 Nikela isabelo sakho kwabalikhomba namkha kwababunane+ ngombana awazi ukuthi ngiyiphi ihlekelele ezokwenzeka ephasini.

3 Nange amafu azele amanzi, azokunisa izulu ephasini; nange umuthi uwela ngesewula namkha ngetlhagwini, indawo lapho umuthi ozokuwela khona kulapho uzokulala khona.

4 Loyo oqala umoya angekhe atjale imbewu, naloyo oqala amafu angekhe avune.+

5 Njengombana ungazi ukuthi ummoya usebenza njani emathanjeni womntwana ongaphakathi emathunjini kanina,+ awuwazi nomsebenzi kaZimu weqiniso, okunguye owenza zoke izinto.+

6 Tjala imbewakho ekuseni begodu ungavumeli isandla sakho siphumule bekube sentambama;+ ngombana awazi bona ngiyiphi ezokuphumelela, kungaba ngile namkha kube ngileya, namkha ukuthi zombili zizokuphumelela.

7 Umkhanyo uyathabisa begodu kuhle bona amehlo abone ilanga. 8 Nakungenzeka umuntu aphile iminyaka eminengi, akayithabele yoke.+ Kodwana kufuze akhumbule ukuthi amalanga wokugandeleleka angaba manengi; koke okuzokulandela kulilize.+

9 Thaba sokana usesemutjha, begodu ihliziywakho ayithabe emihleni yobutjha bakho. Landela iindlela zehliziywakho uye lapho amehlwakho akusa khona; kodwana yazi bona uZimu weqiniso uzokwahlulela ngazo zoke izintwezi.+ 10 Nje-ke susa izinto ezitshwenyako ehliziywenakho, uvimbele nezinto ezilimazako emzimbenakho, ngombana ubutjha namandla wobutjha kulilize.+
