Amavesi EBhayibheli ngendalo
- Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba. Umhlaba wawuyihlane elingenalutho; kwakungubumnyama phezu kotwa, kepha uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehla wenyuka phezu kwamanzi.
- Ngokuba wena uzenzile izinso zami,
wangaluka esiswini sikamame.
Ngiyakukubonga,
ngokuba ngenziwa ngokwesabekayo nangokumangalisayo;
imisebenzi yakho iyamangalisa;
umphefumulo wami uyakwazi kahle. - Ngokuba yileyo ndlu yakhiwa ngothile; kepha owakha konke nguNkulunkulu.
- Ngokuba okungabonwayo kwakhe, kuthi amandla akhe aphakade nobuNkulunkulu bakhe kubonakala kwasekudalweni kwezwe, ngokuba kuqondakala ngezenzo zakhe, ukuze bangabi nakuzilandulela.
- E, Nkosi Jehova, bheka, wena wenzile izulu nomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo; akukho lutho olukwahlulayo.
- UNkulunkulu wabusisa usuku lwesikhombisa, walungcwelisa, ngokuba ngalolo suku waphumula emisebenzini yonke abeyidalile uNkulunkulu, wayenza.
- Ngokuba konke kuvela kuye, kukhona ngaye, kuya kuye; makube kuye inkazimulo kuze kube phakade. Amen.
- Ngiphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni;
usizo lwami luvelaphi na?
Usizo lwami luvela kuJehova
owenzile izulu nomhlaba. - Ngokuba singumsebenzi wakhe kuKristu Jesu, sidalelwe imisebenzi emihle ayilungisela ngaphambili uNkulunkulu ukuba sihambe kuyo.
- UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe; wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane.
- Ngezwi likaJehova izulu lenziwa,
namabandla onke ngomoya womlomo wakhe. - Awazi yini? Awuzwanga na?
UJehova unguNkulunkulu ongunaphakade;
udalile imikhawulo yomhlaba;
akapheli amandla, akakhathali,
nokuqonda kwakhe akunakuphenywa. - Wenzile konke kube kuhle esikhathini sakho, ubekile nokuphakade ezinhliziyweni zabo; nokho umuntu angefumane umsebenzi awenzile uNkulunkulu kwasekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni.
- Kungakaveli izintaba,
ungakawenzi umhlaba nezwe,
kuthi kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade
wena Nkulunkulu ukhona. - Ngokuba ukulangazela kokudaliweyo kulindele ukwambulwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
- UNkulunkulu wathi: “Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu, basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezinkomo, nomhlaba wonke, nezilwanyana zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.”
- Yilolu usuku alwenzileyo uJehova;
siyakwethaba, sithokoze ngalo. - Yiyona ewakhayo amakamelo ayo aphezulu ezulwini,
isekele igobela lawo emhlabeni;
yiyona ewabizayo amanzi olwandle,
iwathululele ebusweni bomhlaba;
nguJehova igama layo. - Usizo lwethu lusegameni likaJehova
owenzile izulu nomhlaba. - Kanjalo uma umuntu ekuKristu, uyisidalwa esisha; okwakuqala kudlulile; bheka, sekuvele okusha.
- Konke kwavela ngaye; ngaphandle kwakhe akuvelanga lutho kukho konke okuvelileyo.
- Nakho konke okudaliweyo okusezulwini, nokusemhlabeni, naphansi komhlaba, naselwandle, nakho konke okukukho, ngakuzwa kuthi:
“Kuyena ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi nakulo iWundlu makube yisibusiso,
nodumo, nenkazimulo, namandla kuze kube phakade naphakade.” - ‘Ngokuba siphila, sihamba, sikhona kuye,’ njengalokho izimbongi ezithile zakini zishilo zathi:
‘Ngokuba futhi siyinzalo yakhe.’ - Ngokuthanda kwakhe wasizala ngezwi leqiniso, ukuze sibe ngabokuqala bezidalwa zakhe.
- Wo kuye olwa noMenzi,
udengezi phakathi kwezindengezi zomhlaba!
Ibumba liyakusho kolibumbayo ukuthi:
‘Wenzani na?’
nomsebenzi wakho ukuthi:
‘Akanazo izandla,’ na?
