Abakholwayo Mabangadeleli Izwi Lakhe
7Ngakho-ke njengalokhu uMoya oNgcwele esho:
“Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi lakhe,
8ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu
njengasekuhlubukeni ngosuku lokulingwa ehlane,
9lapho okhokho benu bangilinga bengihlola,
nakuba babeyibonile imisebenzi yami.
10Ngalokho-ke iminyaka engamashumi amane,
nganengwa yileso sizukulwane,
ngaze ngathi: ‘Bayaduka njalonjalo enhliziyweni yabo,
abazange bazazi izindlela zami,’
11njengalokhu ngafunga ngithukuthele,
ngathi: ‘Abayukungena ekuphumuleni kwami.’ ”
12Bazalwane, qaphelani ukuba kungabi bikho nakoyedwa inhliziyo embi, engakholwayo, emhlubukisa kuNkulunkulu ophilayo, 13kodwa gqugquzelanani imihla ngemihla inqobo nje uma kusathiwa namuhla, ukuze kungabi bikho kini eyenziwa lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe ikhohliswa yisono. 14Ngokuba singabahlanganyela kuKhristu, uma impela sibambisisa ithemba lethu lokuqala kuze kube sekupheleni. 15Uma kuthiwa:
“Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi lakhe,
ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengasekuhlubukeni.”
16Pho-ke yibaphi abezwayo bahlubuka na? Akusibo yini bonke abaphuma eGibhithe ngoMose na? 17Ngobani-ke ayebathukuthelele iminyaka engama-40 na? Kwakungesibo yini labo abonayo, abazidumbu zabo zadindiliza ehlane na? 18Ngobani futhi afunga kubo wathi abayukungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe uma kungesibo labo abangamlalelanga na? 19Siyabona ukuthi babengeke bangene ngenxa yokungakholwa.
