Indaba ezinhle zokukhululwa

1Umoya weNkosi uNkulunkulu uphezu kwami,

ngoba iNkosi ingigcobile ukuba ngitshumayele

indaba ezinhle kubayanga,

ingithumile ukusilisa abalenhliziyo ezidabukileyo,

ngimemezele ukukhululwa kwabathunjiweyo,

lokuvulelwa kwezibotshwa entolongweni;

2ngimemezele umnyaka womusa weNkosi,

losuku lokuphindisela kukaNkulunkulu wethu;

ngiduduze bonke abalilayo,

3nginike labo abalilayo eZiyone imiqhele endaweni yomlotha,

lamafutha enjabulo endaweni yengubo yokulila,

indumiso endaweni yomoya odanileyo;

ukuze babizwe ngokuthi yizihlahla zobuqotho,

ezihlanyelwe yiNkosi, ukuba izuze udumo.

4Bazakwakha amanxiwa amadala,

bavuse izindawo zakudala ezichithekileyo,

balungise imizi edilikileyo,

lazo zonke indawo ezindala ezichithekileyo.

5Abezizwe bazakwelusa imihlambi yenu,

babe ngabalimi benu lezisebenzi ezivinini zenu.

6Kodwa lina lizakuthiwa lingabapristi beNkosi,

libizwe ngokuthi yizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu wethu;

lizakudla imfuyo yezizwe,

lithokoze ngenotho yazo.

7Endaweni yehlazo lenu lizakwabelwa ngokuphindiwe kabili

endaweni yokudunyazwa kwenu lizajabula ngesabelo senu;

ngakhoke elizweni lenu lesabelo esiphindiwe kabili,

libe lokuthokoza okungapheliyo.

8Ngoba mina Nkosi ngithanda ukulunga,

ngizonda ukuphanga lobubi;

ngizakubanika umvuzo wabo ngeqiniso,

ngenze labo isivumelwano esingapheliyo.

9Inzalo yabo izakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe,

labantwana babo phakathi kwabantu;

bonke abababonayo bazakuvuma

ukuthi bangabantu iNkosi ebabusisileyo.

10Ngizathokoza kakhulu ngeNkosi,

umphefumulo wami uzajabula ngoNkulunkulu wami;

ngoba ingambathise ingubo yokukhululwa,

inyangembesa ngengubo yokulunga,

njengomyeni ezicecise ngezigqoko zomthimba,

lanjengomlobokazi ezicecisa ngamatshe amahle.

11Ngoba njengomhlaba uveza ihlumela lawo,

lanjengensimu ikhulisa okuhlanyelweyo kiyo,

ngokunjaloke iNkosi uNkulunkulu izaveza ukulunga

lodumo phambi kwezizwe zonke.
