24 UNkulunkulu ungumoya, labo abamkhonzayo kumele bamkhonze ngomoya langeqiniso."

23 Kodwa siyeza isikhathi, yebo manje sesifikile lapho abakhonzi beqiniso bezamkhonza uBaba ngomoya langeqiniso, ngoba yibo abakhonzi abanjalo uBaba abadingayo. 24 UNkulunkulu ungumoya, labo abamkhonzayo kumele bamkhonze ngomoya langeqiniso."

21 UJesu wathi, "nkosazana, ngikholwa, siyeza isikhathi lapho elingezukumkhonza uBaba entabeni kumbe eJerusalema. 22 Lina maSamariya likhonza elingakwaziyo; thina sikhonza lokho esikwaziyo, ngoba insindiso ivela kumaJuda. 23 Kodwa siyeza isikhathi, yebo manje sesifikile lapho abakhonzi beqiniso bezamkhonza uBaba ngomoya langeqiniso, ngoba yibo abakhonzi abanjalo uBaba abadingayo.

38 Indoda yasisithi, "Nkosi, ngiyakholwa," yasimkhonza.

10 UJesu wathi kuye, "Suka kimi Sathane! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Khonza iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho njalo usebenzele yena yedwa.’*"

8 UJesu waphendula wathi, "Kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Khonza iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho njalo usebenzele yena yedwa.’*"

14 Lingakhonzi omunye unkulunkulu, ngoba uThixo, obizo lakhe linguBukhwele, nguNkulunkulu olobukhwele.

9 Kwakusithi uMosi esengena ethenteni insika yeyezi yehlele phansi ime emnyango wethente lapho uThixo ekhuluma loMosi. 10 Kwakusithi abantu bangabona insika yeyezi isimi emnyango wethente basukume bonke bakhonze; lowo lalowo emnyango wethente lakhe.

2 UThixo ungamandla ami lehubo lami;

useyikusindiswa kwami.

UnguNkulunkulu wami, ngizamdumisa;

uNkulunkulu kababa ngizamphakamisa.

11 Ngubani kubonkulunkulu bonke

onjengawe, Thixo?

Ngubani onjengawe,

olobukhosi ebungcweleni bakhe,

owesabekayo ngenkazimulo,

owenza izimangaliso?

25 Mkhonzeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, kuzakuthi isibusiso sakhe sibe phezu kokudla laphezu kwamanzi enu. Ngizasusa imikhuhlane phakathi kwenu,

21 Uyindumiso yenu, unguNkulunkulu wenu, owalenzela lezozimanga ezinkulu lezesabekayo elazibona ngamehlo enu.

7 Khonapho, phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina kanye labantwabenu lizakudla njalo lijabule ngakho konke elike labeka izandla zenu kukho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulibusisile.

16 Bambangela ubukhwele ngabonkulunkulu babo bezizweni

bamthukuthelisa ngezithombe zabo ezinengekayo.

17 Benza imihlatshelo kuwo amadimoni, wona angasiNkulunkulu,

onkulunkulu ababengazange babazi,

onkulunkulu ababesanda kuvela,

onkulunkulu ababengakhonzwa ngoyihlo.

18 Walihlamukela iDwala, elinguyihlo;

wakhohlwa uNkulunkulu owakuzalayo.

16 Qaphelani linanzelele ukuthi aliyikuhugeka lihlamuke likhonze abanye onkulunkulu libakhothamele.

13 UThixo uthi:

"Abantu laba basondela kimi ngemilomo yabo

bangikhonze ngezindebe zabo,

kodwa inhliziyo zabo zikude lami;

ukungikhonza kwabo

kwenziwa kuphela nje ngemilayo abayifundiswa ngabantu.

Dumisani UThixo

1 Oh Thixo, wena unguNkulunkulu wami;

ngizakudumisa ngibabaza ibizo lakho

ngoba ngokuthembeka okupheleleyo,

wenze izinto ezimangalisayo,

izinto ezamiswa endulo.

42 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wabafulathela, wabakhalala ukuba bakhonze ilanga, inyanga lezinkanyezi. Lokhu kuvumelana lalokho okulotshiweyo encwadini yabaphrofethi ukuthi:

‘Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli,

langilethela na imihlatshelo leminikelo

ngeminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala?

43 Hatshi, lathwala isikhonzelo sikaMoleki

lenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRefani,

izithombe elazenzayo ukuthi lizikhonze.

Ngakho-ke, ngizalixotshela ekuthunjweni’* ngale kweBhabhiloni.

18 Lingavumeli umuntu othokoziswa yikuzithoba kwamanga lokukhonza izingilosi eliphuthisa umvuzo wenu. Umuntu onjalo ubalisa ngokupheleleyo konke akubonileyo, kuthi ingqondo yakhe engayisiyo yomoya imkhukhumeze ngemicabango eyize. 19 Usehlukane lenhloko yomzimba wonke wona ohlanganiswa ndawonye yimisipha lemithambo, okhula ngokuthanda kukaNkulunkulu.

3 Lingavumeli muntu elikhohlisa langayiphi indlela ngoba lolosuku kaluyikufika umvukela uze wenzakale, lomuntu ongelamthetho abonakaliswe yena omiselwe ukubhujiswa. 4 Uzaphikisa, azikhukhumeze ezintweni zonke ezibiza uNkulunkulu loba ezikhonzwayo, aze azihlalise ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, amemezele ukuthi yena unguNkulunkulu.

20 Ekuzwa lokho uJobe wasukuma wadabula isembatho sakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe. Wazilahla phansi wakhonza 21 wathi:

"Ngaphuma ngize esiswini sikamama,

njalo ngizasuka ngize.

UThixo wapha njalo usethethe;

kalidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo."

11 Badumisa bebonga, bahlabelela uThixo bathi:

"Ulungile;

uthando lwakhe ku-Israyeli lumi laphakade."

Bonke abantu bamemeza bedumisa uThixo ngoba isisekelo sendlu kaThixo sasesibekiwe.

37 Ngakho-ke mina, Nebhukhadineza, ngiyayidumisa njalo ngiyayibabaza, ngiyiphakamise iNkosi yezulu, ngoba konke ekwenzayo kuqondile futhi lezindlela zayo zonke zilungile. Njalo bonke abazigqajayo iyabathobisa.

22 Yeka ubukhulu bakho, awu Thixo Wobukhosi! Kakho ofanana lawe, njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho, njengoba sizizwele ngezindlebe zethu.

2 Kakho ongcwele njengoThixo;

kakho omunye ngaphandle kwakho;

akulaDwala elinjengo-Nkulunkulu wethu.

5 Njalo abaLevi ababalisa uJeshuwa, loKhadimiyeli, loBhani, loHashabhineya, loSherebhiya, loHodiya, loShebhaniya, loPhethahiya bathi: "Sukumani lidumise uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, okhona kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade.

Libusisiwe ibizo lakho elingcwele, sengathi lingaphakanyiswa ngaphezulu kwakho konke ukubusiswa lokudunyiswa.

17 Lanxa isihlahla somkhiwa singanunkuli

lamavini engekho emivinini;

lanxa ama-oliva engathelanga,

lamasimu engabanga lokudla,

lanxa kungelazimvu esibayeni

lenkomo zingekho ezibayeni,

18 kodwa ngizathokoza kuThixo,

ngizajabula kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami.

12 Ngalesosikhathi lizangibiza lizekhuleka kimi, njalo ngizalizwa.

8 Sondelani phansi kukaNkulunkulu laye uzasondela kini. Gezani izandla zenu lina zoni, lihlambulule lezinhliziyo zenu, lina abangqondombili.
