UmShumayeli 12

¹ Cabanga ngoMdali wakho emihleni yobusha bakho, zingakafiki izinsuku ezimbi, ingasondeli iminyaka, uma uthi: Angithokozi ngayo;

² Nakuba ilanga noma ukukhanya noma inyanga noma izinkanyezi akufiphazwa, namafu awabuyi ngemva kwemvula.

³ Mhla abalindi bendlu bethuthumela, bakhothama abanamandla, nabasilayo beyeka, ngokuba bayingcosana, nababuka ngamafasitele babe mnyama;

⁴ Iminyango iyakuvalwa emigwaqweni, lapho umsindo wokugedla uphansi, avuke ngezwi lenyoni, athotshiswe onke amadodakazi okuhlabelela;

⁵ Futhi lapho besaba abaphezulu, futhi ukwesaba kuyoba endleleni, futhi um-alimondi uyoqhakaza, nesikhonyane siyakuba ngumthwalo, futhi ukufisa kuyaphela; ngokuba umuntu uya endlini yakhe ende, nabalilayo bahamba ezitaladini;

⁶ Kungaze kugqashuke intambo yesiliva, noma isitsha segolide sigqabuke, noma imbiza iphukile ngasemthonjeni, noma kwephulwa isondo emthonjeni.

⁷ Khona uthuli luyobuyela emhlabathini njengoba lwalunjalo, futhi umoya uyobuyela kuNkulunkulu owawunikayo.

⁸ “Ize leze,” usho umshumayeli; konke kuyize.

⁹ Futhi phezu kwalokho, ngenxa yokuthi umshumayeli wayehlakaniphile, waqhubeka efundisa abantu ulwazi; yebo, wacabangisisa, waphenya, walungisa amazwi amaningi.

¹⁰ Umshumayeli wafuna ukuthola amazwi amukelekayo, futhi okulotshiweyo kwakulungile, amazwi eqiniso.

¹¹ Amazwi abahlakaniphileyo anjengezinkandi nezipikili ezibethelwe ngabaholi bamabandla, ezinikezwe ngumalusi oyedwa.

¹² Futhi phezu kwalokho, ndodana yami, xwayiswa: akukho ukuphela kokwenza izincwadi eziningi; ukufunda okuningi kukhathaza umzimba.

¹³ Ake sizwe isiphetho sayo yonke lendaba: Mesabe uNkulunkulu, ugcine imiyalo yakhe, ngokuba lokhu kuyimfanelo yomuntu wonke.

¹⁴ Ngokuba uNkulunkulu uyakuyisa yonke imisebenzi ekwahlulelweni kanye nakho konke okufihliweyo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuhle noma kubi.
