Ukuphumula kwesizwe sakaZimu
7Yeke, njengombana uMoya oCwengileko uthi:
“Namhlanjesi nanizwa ilizwi lakhe,
8ningaqinisi iinhliziyo zenu njengeMeriba
nanjengelangeni lelo eMasa, erhalawumbeni,
9lapha aboyihlomkhulu bangizizinya khona
nanyana besele babone imisebenzami.
10Iminyaka ematjhumi amane,
isizukulwaneso sangikghabhudlha.
Nje-ke ngathi,
‘Sibabantu abaphambene ngehliziyo
neendlela zami asiziyeleli.’
11Ngalokho ngafunga elakeni lami ngathi,
‘Angeze bangene ekuphumuleni kwami.’ ”
12Nje-ke bazalwana, tjhejani bona kungabikhona noyedwa wenu onehliziyo embi engakholwako ebangela bonyana ahlubuke kuZimu ophilako. 13Kodwana khuthazanani imihla ngemihla, ije kusathiwa “namhlanje” ukuze kungabikhona namunye wenu oqinileko ngebanga lesono esikhohlisako 14ngombana sesibahlanganyeli noKrestu, nangabe kwaphela sibambelela ethembeni lethu bekube sekupheleni.
15Njengombana kuthiwa:
“Namhlanjesi nanizwa ilizwi lakhe,
ningaqinisi iinhliziyo zenu njengeMeriba
nanjengelangeni lelo eMasa.”
16Bobani labo abezwa bebamhlubuka na? Angithi ngilabo boke abakhutjhwa nguMosi eGibhide na? 17Bobani labo abathukuthelela iminyaka ematjhumi amane na? Angithi ngilabo abonako, iindumbu zabo zaradlhwa erhalawumbeni? 18Wafunga kibobani bona angeze bangena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, nakungasi ngilabo ebebanganandlebe na? 19Nje-ke sesiyabona bonyana bahluleka ukungena ngebanga lokungakholwa kwabo.
