Isahluko 9

Ngokuba yonke le nto ndayinyamekela ngentliziyo yam, ndayihlela yonke le nto, yokuba amalungisa, nezilumko, nemisebenzi yabo, isesandleni sikaThixo; nokuthanda nokuthiya, akukhona ekwazini kwabantu; le nto yonke basebeyimiselwe.
2 Izinto zonke zibahlela ngokufanayo bonke: sinye isihlo kwilungisa nakongendawo; kolungileyo, kohlambulukileyo, nakoyinqambi; kobingelelayo nakongabingeleliyo; njengoko anjalo olungileyo, unjalo nomoni; ofungayo unjengalowo ukoyikayo ukufunga.
3 Le yinto embi phakathi kwezinto zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga, ukuthi sibe sinye isihlo kubo bonke; ibe nentliziyo yoonyana babantu izele bububi; ibubugeza entliziyweni yabo besadla ubomi; emveni kwabo kuyiwa kwabafileyo.
4 Ngokuba kosukuba ehlonyelwa kwabasadla ubomi, kusekho ithemba; ngokuba inja esaphilileyo ilunge ngaphezu kwengonyama efileyo.
5 Ngokuba abadla ubomi bayazi ukuba baya kufa; ke bona abafileyo abazi lutho, abasabi namvuzo; ngokuba balityelwe, abasakhunjulwa nganto.
6 Seluphelile kade uthando lwabo, nentiyo yabo, nekhwele labo; abasenasabelo naphakade ezintweni zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga.
7 Yiya udle isonka sakho unovuyo, usele iwayini yakho unentliziyo echwayithileyo; ngokuba sekukade ekholisiwe uThixo zizenzo zakho.
8 Iingubo zakho mazibe mhlophe ngamaxesha onke, neoli mayingasweleki entlokweni yakho.
9 Hlala kakuhle nomfazi omthandileyo ngemihla yonke yobomi bakho obungamampunge, akunikileyo phantsi kwelanga, ngemihla yakho yonke engamampunge; ngokuba sisabelo sakho eso ebomini, nasemigudwini yakho owaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga.
10 Yonke into esiyifumanayo isandla sakho ukuba siyenze, yenze ngamandla akho; ngokuba akukho kwenza, nakucinga, nakwazi, nakulumka kwelabafileyo, apho uya khona wena.
11 Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga, ukuba ukugidima asikokwabanamendu, imfazwe asiyeyamagorha; kananjalo isonka asisesezilumko; kananjalo ubutyebi asibobabanenqiqo; kananjalo ubabalo asilolwabanokwazi; ngokuba bonke bephela bafikelwa lixesha nasisihlo.
12 Ngokuba umntu akalazi nexesha lakhe; njengeentlanzi ezibanjiswe ngomnatha ombi, nanjengeentaka ezibanjiswe ngomgibe, banjalo ukurhintyelwa kwabo oonyana babantu ngexesha elibi, xa libawele ngesiquphe.
13 Nale nto ndiyibone ibubulumko phantsi kwelanga, babukhulu kum:
14 umzi omncinane unamadoda ambalwa; kweza kuwo ukumkani omkhulu, wawungqinga, wawakhela iimboniselo ezinkulu.
15 Wafumana kuwo indoda elihlwempu inobulumko; yona yawusiza umzi ngobulumko bayo; ke akubangakho mntu ubuya ayikhumbule le ndoda ilihlwempu.
16 Ndathi ke mna, Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kobugorha; kodwa ubulumko beli hlwempu budelekile, namazwi alo akaviwa.
17 Amazwi ezilumko, eviwe ngokuthozama, angaphezu kokunkqangaza kolawula phakathi kwezidenge.
18 Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kweempahla zokulwa; ke yena umoni emnye utshabalalisa okulungileyo okuninzi.
