Abakholwayo mabangadeleli izwi lakhe
7Ngalokho njengokusho kukaMoya oNgcwele ukuthi:
“Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi lakhe,
8ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengasekucunuleni
ngosuku lokulingwa ehlane,
9lapho oyihlo bangilinga bengihlola,
noma bebona imisebenzi yami iminyaka engamashumi amane;
10ngalokho nganengwa yileso sizukulwane,
ngathi: ‘Bayaduka njalonjalo enhliziyweni yabo,
abazazanga izindlela zami,’
11ngaze ngafunga ekuthukutheleni kwami,
ngathi: ‘Abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.’ ”
12Xwayani, bazalwane, ukuba nakoyedwa kini kungabikho nhliziyo embi, engakholwayo, emhlubukisa kuNkulunkulu ophilayo; 13kepha yalanani imihla ngemihla kusathiwa namuhla, ukuze kungabikho kini owenziwa lukhuni ngokukhohlisa kwesono, 14ngokuba sesingabahlanganyela kuKristu, uma sibambisisa ithemba lethu lokuqala kuze kube sekupheleni. 15Uma kuthiwa:
“Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi lakhe,
ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu
njengasekucunuleni,”

Kwakungesibo abonayo, abazidumbu zabo zawa ehlane na? 18Yibaphi afunga kubo ngokuthi abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, uma kungesibo abangalalelanga na? 19Siyabona-ke ukuthi babengenakungena ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo.
