WEEK 3 – Breathe in… breathe out…
11Ndaya eJerusalem, ndaza emva kweentsuku ezintathu 12ndaphuma ngobusuku ndinebathwana lamadoda. Zange ndixelele mntu ngento uThixo wam ayibeke entliziyweni yam ukuba ndiyenzele iJerusalem. Kwakungekho nazinto zokukhwela ngaphandle kwaleyo ndandikhwele kuyo.
13Ngobusuku njalo ndaphuma ngeSango leNtili, ndaya ngakwiQula likaDyakalashe neSango lobuLongwe, ndazihlola ezo ndonga zidilikileyo naloo masango atshiswe ngomlilo. 14Ndadlulela kwiSango loMthombo neQula loKumkani; kambe ke andibanga nako ukudlula khona ndikhwele. 15Ewe, intili ndayinyuka ngobusuku ndizihlola iindonga. Ndaza ke ndajika, ndangena ngeSango leNtili. 16Abaphathi babengandazi apho ndiye khona nento endandiyenza, kuba ndandingekathethi nto kumaJuda, nababingeleli, nezikhulu, nabaphathi, nabanye ababeza kusebenza.
17Ndaza ndathi kubo: “Ngaba niyayibona na le nkxwaleko sikuyo? IJerusalem ingamabhodlo; amasango ayo atshiswe ngomlilo. Ngoko ke yizani sizivuse iindonga zeJerusalem, ukuze siphume ehlazweni.” 18Kananjalo ndabaxelela ngesandla esikulunga sikaThixo wam ebesiphezu kwam, ngokunjalo namazwi athethwe ngukumkani kum.
Baphendula ke bathi: “Masiqalise ukwakha.” Baqalisa ke ukuwenza loo msebenzi mhle.
4Ngoko ke, nimanywe neNkosi nje, yonwabani! Ewe, ndiyaphinda ndithi vuyani!
5Bazeleleleni bonke abantu. INkosi isemnyango. 6Sanukuba naxhala; kodwa iintswelo zenu ziseni kuThixo ngomthandazo, nimbongoze ninombulelo. 7Ke lona uxolo lukaThixo olungaphaya kokuqonda luya kuzalusa iintliziyo neengcinga zenu ningahlukani noKrestu. 8Mandiphethe ngelithi, mawethu, hlalani nicinga ngezinto eziyinyaniso nezindilekileyo nazo zonke izinto ezilungileyo nezinyulu, zonke ezithandekayo nezinesidima, nangezinto ezintle ngokupheleleyo kwanezincomekayo. 9Zenzeni zonke izinto enazivayo nezo nazibonela kum, amazwi kwanezenzo. Ke uThixo onika uxolo uya kuba nani.
