UmShumayeli 11

¹ Phonsa isinkwa sakho phezu kwamanzi, ngokuba uzasithola emva kwezinsuku ezinengi.

² Nika inxenye abayisikhombisa nabayisishiyagalombili; ngoba kawazi ukuthi kuyini okubi okuzakuba emhlabeni.

³ Lapho amafu egcwele imvula, athululela emhlabeni; uma umuthi uwa ngaseningizimu noma ngasenyakatho, endaweni lapho isihlahla uwe khona, siyakuba-khona.

⁴ Obheka umoya akayikuhlwanyela; futhi obheka amafu ngeke avune.

⁵ Njengoba nje ungayazi indlela yomoya nokuthi akhula kanjani amathambo esibelethweni sokhulelweyo, kanjalo awuyazi imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu owenza zonke izinto.

⁶ Hlwanyela imbewu yakho ekuseni, nakusihlwa ungagodli isandla sakho, ngokuba awukwazi ukuthi iyakuphumelela, noma lokhu noma lokhuya, noma ziyakuba zinhle zombili ngokulingana.

⁷ Ngempela, kumnandi ukukhanya, futhi kuyajabulisa emehlweni ukubona ilanga.

⁸ Kepha uma umuntu ephila iminyaka eminingi, ethokoza ngabo bonke; makakhumbule izinsuku zobumnyama; ngoba bazakuba banengi. Konke okuzayo kuyize.

⁹ Jabula, nsizwa, ebusheni bakho; inhliziyo yakho mayikuthokozise emihleni yobusha bakho, uhambe ezindleleni zenhliziyo yakho nangokubona kwamehlo akho; kepha yazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakukuyisa ekulungeni ngazo zonke lezi zinto.

¹⁰ Ngakho susa usizi enhliziyweni yakho, ususe ububi enyameni yakho, ngokuba ubusha nobusha kuyize.
