1Ngubani onjengohlakaniphileko na? Ngubani owazi ihlathululo yezinto? Ukuhlakanipha komuntu kukhanyisa ubuso, kubuguqule ekubeni likhuni.

2Ngithi: Bulunga umyalo wekosi ngebanga lesithembiso esenziwe nguZimu.

3Ungarhabi ukuphendula umbusi. Tjhida phambi kwakhe ngombana angenza nanyana yini ayithandako.

4Ilizwi lekosi aliphikiswa. Ngubani ongathi kiyo, “Yintobani oyenzako le?”

5Abahlakaniphileko bathi, “Obulunga umyalo akazukwehlelwa ngokumbi nengqondo yohlakaniphileko iyasazi isikhathi nesiqunto.

6Kunesikhathi nekambiso efaneleko kiyo yoke into nanyana isizi lomuntu liba budisi kuye.”

7Kodwana akunamuntu owazi okuzakwenzeka! Ngubani ongamtjela bonyana kuzakwenzeka njani?

8Akunamuntu onamandla wokukhandela ummoya begodu akakho onamandla phezu kwelanga lokufa. Akunakutjhaphululwa ngesikhathi sepi nomnono awubahlengi abaniniwo.

9Koke lokhu ngakubona lokha nangizinikela kikho koke okwenziwa ngaphasi komthunzi welanga. Kunesikhathi lapha umuntu aba negunya khona phezu komunye umuntu ngokwenza okumbi.

10Ngokunjalo ngabona abakhohlakeleko batjhidela ethempelini, bangena, kwathi labo abenze kuhle kwafanela bona baphume endaweni ecwengileko balitjalwe edorobheni. Nalokho kulilize.

11Ngebanga lokungakhutjhwa msinyana kwesigwebo sobulelesi, iinhliziyo zabantu zizala iimbozi

12ngombana isikhohlakali singenza ubelelesi kanenginengi, khonapho siphile isikhathi eside. Nami ngiyazi bona kuthiwa kuzabakhambela kuhle abantu abesaba uZimu, ngombana bayamhlonipha,

13nokobana isikhohlakali angeze kwasikhambela kuhle namalangaso angeze elulwa njengesithunzi ngombana asihloniphi uZimu.

14Kodwana ephasini kwenzeka nanti ilize: Kunabantu abalungileko abehlelwa ngokufanele iinkhohlakali neenkhohlakali ezehlelwa ngokufanele abalungileko. Ngithi nalokho kulilize.

15Nje-ke ngababaza ithabo ngombana ayikho into engcono emuntwini ngaphasi komthunzi welanga ngaphandle kokugoma nokusela, ename. Lokho kufanele kukhambisane naye emtjhikatjhikenakhe emihleni yokuphila, uZimu amuphe yona ngaphasi komthunzi welanga.

16Lokha nangizinikela kobana ngazi ukuhlakanipha nokuyelela umsebenzi owenziwa ephasini, okutjho bona amehlo womuntu akabuboni ubuthongo ebusuku nemini,

17nje-ke ngabona woke umsebenzi kaZimu: Umuntu angeze azwisisa okwenziwa ngaphasi komthunzi welanga. Nanyana angajuluka kobana akufunyane angeze azwisisa. Ngitjho nanyana ohlakaniphileko asithi yena uyazi, angeze akghona ukuzwisisa.
