Iivesi zeBhayibhile malunga Inceba
- Masisondele ke ngoko singenadyudyu apho ahleli khona esihlalweni sokulawula uThixo wethu onenceba; apho sakwenzelwa khona ububele nesisa, sincedakale ngoku kuselithuba.
- Khaniye kufunisisa okokuba ithetha ukuthini na le ndawo eziBhalweni ithi: ‘Ndithanda inceba, andithandi mbingelelo.’ Ke mna andizanga kubiza malungisa, ndize kubiza aboni.
- Kodwa ke uThixo onceba inkulu, ngenxa yendlela asithanda ngayo, usidlise ubomi kunye noKrestu, naxa besinjengabafileyo nje ngenxa yezono zethu. Kambe ke nakhululwa ngenxa yesisa sikaThixo.
- Awu, Thixo, ndiyatarhuzisa!
Ngenxa yezibele zothando lwakho,
nobubanzi benceba yakho, nceda uzicime iziphoso zam!
Ndihlambe ndahlukane nabo bonke ububi;
ndenze ndibe nyulu, ndingabi nasono! - Kuba kaloku uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu unesisa novelwano. Akasayi kunifulathela ukuba nibuyela kuye.
- Kodwa nguwuphi uThixo onjengawe?
Nguwuphi oxolela ubugwenxa,
angazihoyi iziphoso zamasalela elifa lakhe?
Wena akuhlali uqumbile ngonaphakade;
kaloku uyimvuze-mvuze bububele. - Kambe ke uNdikhoyo usanilindele,
usazungula ukunibabala ngesisa.
Kaloku yena nguThixo ongajika-jikiyo;
hayi ithamsanqa labo bakholosa ngaye! - Kaloku xa nibaxolela abantu izigqitho zabo, uYihlo osezulwini wonixolela nani.
- Khumbula, Ndikhoyo, inceba yakho,
nothando lwakho obukade unalo kwakudala.
Ungazikhumbuli izono zobutsha bam,
nokungathobeli kwam umthetho wakho;
kanye ndazelelele ngothando olungagungqiyo,
ngenxa yobubele bakho, Ndikhoyo. - Ndiyanikhuthaza ngoko, mawethu, ngenxa yenceba kaThixo, ukuba nizinikele nina ziqu nibe lidini eliphilayo, elingcwele, elikholekileyo kuThixo. Leyo ke yindlela yenu efanelekileyo yokukhonza uThixo ngengqiqo.
- Uzungandibandezeli inceba yakho, Ndikhoyo;
ndilondoloze ngenceba nenyaniso. - Ngoko ke ndiya kulandelwa kokulungileyo nabububele,
umzi wakho ube likhaya lam yonke imihla yobomi bam. - Nkosi, Thixo, sithamsanqelise!
Siphumelelise kuyo yonke imizamo yethu;
ewe, yiphumelelise yonke imizamo yethu. - Síthini na ke ngoko? Sóne na, kuba singekho phantsi kwawo umthetho, siphantsi kobabalo? Nakanye!
- Unethamsanqa umntu onika ngesisa,
lowo ungayiqhubi ngobuqhetseba imicimbi yakhe. - Kodwa ngenxa yaloo mfobe yakho wena akubatshitshisanga;
wena zange ubalahle, Thixondini onesisa nenceba. - Ndikhoyo, ndiyazibika kuwe;
ndikhala kuwe ndibindekile.
Awu, Nkosi, ndive ndiyakuthandaza,
usiphulaphule isikhungo sam. - Kaloku uThixo ihlabathi ulithande kangangokuba ude wancama uNyana okuphela kwakhe, ukuze wonke umntu ozinikele kuye ngokupheleleyo angatshabalali, koko abe nobona bomi bungenasiphelo.
- Kodwa yandiphendula yathi: “Ubabalo lwam lukwanele, kuba amandla am acaca xa ubuthathaka.” Ngoko ke ndikhetha ukuqhayisa ngezinto ezibonakalisa ubuthathaka bam, ukuze ndikuve ukongama kwamandla kaKrestu phezu kwam.
- Umntu osifihlayo isono sakhe akabi nampumelelo;
kambe ke yena osivumayo, ahlukane naso, wenzelwa inceba. - Kodwa isono sika-Adam asinakulinganiswa nesisa sikaThixo. Kaloku naxa kwafa abantu abaninzi nje ngenxa yesono salowo mnye unguAdam, lona ubabalo lukaThixo esalufumana ngaloo mntu mnye unguKrestu, lwaphuphumela kubantu abaninzi ngakumbi.
- Umntu okhohlakeleyo makahlukane nobubi,
netshijolo maliyeke ukuyila ubutshijolo.
Maliguquke, lize kuNdikhoyo;
yena wosuka abe novelwano lilo.
Malize kuThixo wethu,
kuba yena uxolela kangangoko. - Weza uPetros kuYesu, wabuza esithi: “Nkosi, koda kube kangaphi na uwethu endona ndimxolela? Ngaba koba kasixhenxe na?” UYesu wathi kuye: “Hayi, akuyi kuba kasixhenxe, kuya kuba ngamashumi asixhenxe aphindwe kasixhenxe.”
- Ubabalo lweNkosi uYesu Krestu, nothando lukaThixo, nobudlelane boMoya oyiNgcwele, maluhlale nani nonke.
- Wasisindisa. Kwakungengakuba senze misebenzi mihle, kodwa kwakungenxa yenceba yakhe. Wasihlamba ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, wasizala ngokutsha, saza safumana ubomi obutsha.
