Isahluko 15

Mna ndingumdiliya wenyaniso, umlimi wawo ke nguBawo.
2 Amasebe onke akum angathwali siqhamo, uyawasusa; onke athwala isiqhamo uyawathena, ukuze athwale isiqhamo ngakumbi.
3 Nina nisenihlambulukile, ngenxa yelizwi endilithethileyo kuni.
4 Hlalani kum, mna ndihlale kuni. Njengokuba isebe lingenako ukuthwala isiqhamo ngokwalo, lingahlalanga emdiliyeni, ngokunjalo aninako nani, ningahlalanga kum.
5 Umdiliya ndim, nina ningamasebe; lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi; ngokuba, ningekum, aninakwenza nto.
6 Ukuba umntu uthe akahlala kum, ulahlelwa phandle njengesebe, ome; baze abantu bawabuthe, bawaphose emlilweni, atshiswe.
7 Ukuba nithe nahlala kum, namazwi am ahlala kuni, nocela into enisukuba niyithanda, niyenzelwe..
8 Uzukiswa uBawo ngale nto, yokuba nithwale isiqhamo esininzi; niya kuba ngabam abafundi ke.
9 Njengoko uBawo wandithandayo, nam ndanithanda; hlalani ke eluthandweni lwam.
10 Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe.
11 Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze uvuyo lwam luhlale kuni, luthi novuyo lwenu luzaliseke.
12 Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndanithandayo nina.
13 Akukho namnye unalo uthando olungaphezu kolu, lokuba ubomi bakhe abuncamele izihlobo zakhe.
14 Nizizihlobo zam nina, ukuba nithi nikwenze konke endinimisela khona mna.
15 Andisatsho ukuthi ningabakhonzi; ngokuba umkhonzi akakwazi okwenziwa yinkosi yakhe; mna ke ndithe nizizihlobo; ngokuba zonke izinto endaziva kuBawo, ndanazisa zona.
16 Asinini enanyula mna; ndim owanyula nina, ndanimisela, ukuze niye nithwale isiqhamo, nokuze isiqhamo senu sihlale; ukuze oko enithe nakucela kuBawo egameni lam, nikunikwe.
17 Ndiniwisela lo mthetho wokuba nithandane.
18 Ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile, yazini ukuba lindithiye kuqala kunani.
19 Ukuba beningabehlabathi, ihlabathi linge likuthanda okwalo; ke ngokuba ningengabehlabathi, ndaninyulayo mna kulo ihlabathi, ngenxa yoko linithiyile ihlabathi.
20 Likhumbuleni ilizwi endalithethayo mna kuni, elithi, Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe. Ukuba banditshutshisa mna, bonitshutshisa nani; ukuba ilizwi lam baligcina, nelenu boligcina.
21 Ke ezi zinto zonke baya kuzenza kuni ngenxa yegama lam, ngokuba bengamazi owandithumayo.
22 Ukuba bendingezanga ndathetha kubo, ngebengabanga nasono; ngoku abanasikhuselo sesono sabo.
23 Lowo uthiye mna, uthiye noBawo.
24 Ukuba bendingenzanga phakathi kwabo imisebenzi engenziwanga mntu wumbi, ngebengabanga nasono; kaloku ke babonile; noko bandithiyile mna noBawo.
25 Kwenzeke ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi elibhaliweyo emthethweni wabo, elithi, Bandithiya kungekho sizathu.
26 Kodwa xa athe wafika uMthetheleli, endiya kumthuma mna kuni evela kuBawo, uMoya wenyaniso ophuma kuBawo, yena wongqina ngam.
27 Nani ke niyangqina, ngokuba beninam kwasekuqaleni.
