5Morena o bua tjena:

“Ho ke ho rohakehe

ya itshepisitseng batho,

yena ya tshepileng matla

a letsoho la hae,

eo pelo ya hae

e furaletseng Morena.

6O tla tshwana le sehlahla

se metseng hara lehwatata,

ha a ka ke a bona

le tse molemo ha di etla.

O tla aha matswatlareng

a omeletseng a lehwatata,

a ahe naheng e lenyekethe,

e hlokang baahi.

7“Ho lehlohonolo motho

ya itshepetseng Morena,

eo tshepo ya hae

e leng yena Morena.

8O tla tshwana le sefate

se lemilweng pela metsi,

seo metso ya sona

e namelang pela molatswana.

Ha se ke se tshoswa

ke ho fihla ha lebatama,

mahlaku a sona

a matalana kamehla,

ka nako ya komello

ha se ke se tshwenyeha,

kamehla se beha

ditholwana tsa sona.”

9Pelo e tletse mano

ho feta dintho tsohle,

e senyehile

hoo e ke keng ya phekolwa,

ke mang ya ka e utlwisisang?

10“Ke nna Morena ya lekolang dipelo,

mohopolo le wona o lekolwa ke nna.

Ke putsa motho

ho ya ka diketso tsa hae,

ho latela tholwana

tsa mesebetsi ya hae.”

11Jwaloka nonyana

e fuamang mahe e se a yona,

ya ruang ka mano le yena o jwalo,

bohareng ba bophelo ba hae

maruo ao a tla mo fella,

qetellong bothoto ba hae

bo bonahale.

12Terone e tlotlehang, e phahameng,

haesale ho tloha tshimolohong,

ke sona sebaka

sa Sehalalelo sa rona.

13Oho, wena Morena,

tshepo ya Iseraele,

bohle ba o furallang

ba tla tlontlollwa,

bohle ba o furallang

ba tla timela,

hoba ba furaletse Morena,

diba sa metsi a bophelo.

Jeremia o kopa thuso ho Morena

14Mphodise, Morena,

mme ke tla fola,

mpholose, Morena,

mme ke tla pholoha,

hobane ke wena eo ke mo rorisang.

JEREMIA 17:5-14SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

Blessed is the One who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in the Lord. Such persons will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. The tree endures all manner of hardships. Let us be able to trust like the tree. Do not let the world and it’s brief glory, distract you from being like the tree, filled with trust in what God offers us that we may be rooted and stand with God in all weather in which we find ourselves. Blessed is the One, who trusts in God’s creative ways of bringing faith into our lives in all circumstances.
