6 Ngimisile abalindi phezu kwezingange zakho, Jerusalema, abangayikuthula nanini imini nobusuku; nina enimbiza uJehova, ningathuli;
7 Futhi ningamniki ukuphumula, aze alimise iJerusalema, alenze libe yindumiso emhlabeni.
8 UJehova ufungile ngesandla sakhe sokunene nangengalo yamandla akhe, wathi: “Angisayikuzinika izitha zakho ukolweni wakho ube ngukudla kwazo; futhi amadodana wezihambi angaliphuzi iwayini lakho ozikhandlekele.
9 Kodwa labo abakubuthayo bazakudla badumise uJehova; nabayibuthileyo bayoyiphuza emagcekeni ami angcwele.
10 Dlulani, nidlule emasangweni; lungisani indlela yabantu; lahlani, lahlani umgwaqo omkhulu; khiphani amatshe; phakamisa indinganiso kubantu.

UMalaki 3 : 1 – 18
1 Bheka, ngiyathuma isithunywa sami, futhi siyakulungisa indlela phambi kwami; iNkosi eniyifunayo iyakufika ngokuzuma ethempelini layo, isithunywa sesivumelwano enithokoza ngaso; bheka, uyeza, usho uJehova Sebawoti.
2 Kodwa ngubani ongabekezelela usuku lokufika kwakhe? futhi ngubani oyoba khona lapho evela? ngokuba unjengomlilo womncibilikisi, nanjengensipho yabahlanzi.
3 Uyohlala njengomncibilikisi nomcwengi wesiliva, futhi kumelwe ahlanze amadodana kaLevi futhi awahlanze njengegolide nesiliva, ukuze alethe umnikelo kuJehova ngokulunga.
4 Khona-ke umhlatshelo wakwaJuda nowaseJerusalema uyakuba muhle kuJehova njengasezinsukwini zasendulo naseminyakeni yakuqala.
5 Ngiyakusondela kinina ngokwahlulelwa; futhi ngiyoba ufakazi osheshayo ngokumelene nabathakathi, neziphingi, nakubafungi bamanga, nalabo abacindezela isiqashwa emholweni wakhe, umfelokazi nezintandane, nomfokazi ophambukayo esandleni sakhe sokunene futhi angesabi. Mina, usho uJehova Sebawoti.
6 Ngokuba mina Jehova angiguquki; ngalokho amadodana akho kaJakobe awaqedwanga.
7 Kusukela emihleni yawoyihlo nichezukile ezimisweni zami, anizigcinanga. Buyelani kimi, futhi ngiyakubuyela kini, kusho uJehova Sebawoti. Kepha nina nithi: “Siyakubuyelaphi na?”
8 Umuntu angaphanga uNkulunkulu na? Nokho wangiphanga. Kodwa nithi: “Sikuphange ngani na? Kweshumi neminikelo.
9 Niqalekisiwe ngesiqalekiso, ngokuba ningiphangile, yebo, lesi sizwe sonke.
10 Lethani konke okweshumi endlini yengcebo, ukuze kube khona ukudla endlini yami, ningivivinye ngalokhu, usho uJehova Sebawoti, uma ngingayikunivulela amafasitele asezulwini, ngininike isibusiso, ningathululi. Ngaphandle, ukuthi ngeke kube khona indawo eyanele yokuyithola.
11 Ngiyakumkhuza odlayo ngenxa yenu, angachithi izithelo zezwe lakini; futhi umvini wakho ngeke uthele izithelo zawo ensimini ngaphambi kwesikhathi saso, kusho uJehova Sebawoti.
12 Zonke izizwe ziyakuthi nibusisiwe, ngokuba niyakuba yizwe elithandekayo,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.
13 Amazwi enu ayenamandla ngokumelene nami,” usho uJehova. Kepha nina nithi: ‘Sikhulumeleni kangaka ngawe na?
14 Nathi: Kuyize ukukhonza uNkulunkulu; kunenzuzoni ukuthi sigcine ukwahlulela kwakhe, sihambe ngokulila phambi kukaJehova Sebawoti na?
15 Manje sithi babusisiwe abazidlayo; yebo, labo abenza ububi bayamiswa; yebo, labo abacela kuNkulunkulu bayakhululwa.
16 Abamesabayo uJehova bakhulumisana bodwa;
17 Bayakuba ngabami, usho uJehova Sebawoti, ngalolo suku lapho ngenza khona amatshe ami aligugu; futhi ngizobayeka njengoba umuntu ehawukela indodana yakhe emkhonzayo.
18 Khona lizabuya, lihlukanise phakathi kolungileyo lomubi, phakathi kokhonza uNkulunkulu lalowo ongamkhonziyo.

UMalaki 3 : 1
1 Bheka, ngiyathuma isithunywa sami, futhi siyakulungisa indlela phambi kwami; iNkosi eniyifunayo iyakufika ngokuzuma ethempelini layo, isithunywa sesivumelwano enithokoza ngaso; bheka, uyeza, usho uJehova Sebawoti.

EkaJokobe 5 : 1 – 20
1 Hambani manje nina bacebileyo, likhale nikhale ngosizi oluzayo phezu kwenu.
2 Inotho yenu ibolile, nezingubo zenu zidliwe yizinundu.
3 Igolide lenu nesiliva kugqwalile; nokugqwala kwazo kuyakuba ngufakazi ngani, kudle inyama yenu njengomlilo. Niqongelele ingcebo ngezinsuku zokugcina.
4 Bhekani, inkokhelo yezisebenzi ezivune amasimu enu, eniyigodlile ngobuqili, iyakhala; nokukhala kwabavuniyo kungene ezindlebeni zeNkosi yamabandla.
5 Niphile ubumnandi emhlabeni, nizitika; nondlile izinhliziyo zenu njengasosukwini lokuhlaba.
6 Nimlahlile nambulala olungileyo; futhi akamelani nani.
7 Ngakho bekezelani, bazalwane, kuze kube sekufikeni kweNkosi. Bhekani, umlimi ulindela isithelo somhlaba esinqabileyo, uyabekezela ngaso, aze amukele imvula yokuqala neyamuva.
8 Bekezelani nani; niqinise izinhliziyo zenu, ngokuba ukufika kweNkosi kusondele.
9 Ningagqubuthelani, bazalwane, ukuze ningalahlwa; bhekani, umahluleli umi ngasemnyango.
10 Bazalwane bami, thathani abaprofethi abakhuluma egameni leNkosi, babe yisibonelo sokuhlupheka nokubekezela.
11 Bheka, sithi babusisiwe abakhuthazelayo. Nizwile ngokubekezela kukaJobe, nibonile isiphetho seNkosi; ukuthi iNkosi inesihawu esikhulu, nesihawu.
12 Kepha phezu kwakho konke, bazalwane bami, ningafungi, noma izulu, noma umhlaba, noma esinye isifungo; noCha wenu, cha; funa niwele ekwahlulelweni.
13 Ukhona yini phakathi kwenu ohluphekayo? akakhuleke. Ingabe kukhona okujabulisayo? makahube amahubo.
14 Kukhona ogulayo phakathi kwenu na? makabize amalunga ebandla; kabakhuleke phezu kwakhe, bamgcobe ngamafutha ebizweni leNkosi.
15 Umkhuleko wokukholwa uyakumsindisa ogulayo, iNkosi imvuse; uma enzile izono, uyakuthethelelwa.
16 Vumani izono omunye komunye, nikhulekelane ukuba niphulukiswe. Umkhuleko wolungileyo unamandla amakhulu.
17 U-Eliya wayengumuntu onemizwa efana neyethu, wakhuleka ngobuqotho ukuba lingani; futhi kalizange line emhlabeni iminyaka emithathu nezinyanga eziyisithupha.
18 Wabuye wakhuleka, izulu lanika imvula, nomhlaba wathela izithelo zawo.
19 Bazalwane, uma omunye kini eduka eqinisweni, omunye ambuyise;
20 Mazi ukuthi obuyisa isoni ekudukeni kwendlela yaso uyakusindisa umphefumulo ekufeni, asibekele izono eziningi.

KwabaseKolose 1 : 1 – 29
1 UPawuli, umphostoli kaKristu Jesu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, noThimothewu umzalwane,
2 kubo abangcwele nabazalwane abathembekileyo kuKristu abaseKolose: Makube kini umusa nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu naseNkosini uJesu Kristu.
3 Sibonga uNkulunkulu uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, sinikhulekela njalo,
4 njengoba sezwa ngokukholwa kwenu kuKristu Jesu, nothando eninalo kubo bonke abangcwele.
5 Ngokuba ithemba enibekelwe lona ezulwini, enalizwa ngaphambili ngezwi leqiniso levangeli;
6 elifikile kini, njengasezweni lonke; lithela isithelo, njengalokhu lisenza lakini, kusukela osukwini elakuzwa ngalo, lawazi umusa kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso;
7 njengalokhu lafunda kuEphafra inceku kanye lathi ethandekayo, oyisikhonzi esithembekileyo sikaKristu ngenxa yenu;
8 owasibikela futhi ngothando lwenu ngoMoya.
9 Ngalokho nathi, kusukela osukwini esakuzwa ngalo, asiphezi ukunikhulekela, nokunxusa ukuba nigcwaliswe ukwazi intando yakhe kukho konke ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda kokomoya;
10 ukuze nihambe ngokufanele iNkosi ngokuthokozisa konke, nithela kuyo yonke imisebenzi emihle, nikhule ekwazini uNkulunkulu;
11 Niqiniswe ngamandla onke ngokwamandla enkazimulo yakhe, kube kukho konke ukubekezela nokubekezela kanye nentokozo;
12 sibonga uBaba osenze safaneleka ukuhlanganyela efeni labangcwele ekukhanyeni;
13 owasikhulula emandleni obumnyama, wasesisa embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo;
14 esilokuhlengwa kuye ngegazi lakhe, ukuthethelelwa kwezono;
15 Ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonwayo, izibulo lezidalwa zonke.
16 Ngokuba kwadalwa ngayo zonke izinto ezisezulwini nezisemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo nezingabonakali, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziyizihlalo zobukhosi, noma imibuso, noma imibuso, noma amandla;
17 Yena ungaphambi kwazo zonke izinto, futhi zonke izinto zihlangana ngayo.
18 Futhi yona iyinhloko yomzimba, ibandla, eyisiqalo, izibulo kwabafileyo; ukuze ibe ngeyokuqala ezintweni zonke.
19 Ngokuba kwamthokozisa uBaba ukuthi ukugcwala konke kuhlale kuye;
20 esenze ukuthula ngegazi lesiphambano sakhe, abuyisane ngayo zonke izinto; ngaye, noma kungokusemhlabeni, noma okusezulwini.
21 Nani enakade nahlukanisiwe futhi niyizitha engqondweni yenu ngemisebenzi emibi, nokho manje usenibuyise ukubuyisana.
22 Emzimbeni wenyama yakhe ngokufa, ukuze alethule phambi kwakhe lingcwele, lingelacala, lingelacala.
23 Uma nihlala ekukholweni nisekelwe niqinile, ningasuswa ethembeni levangeli enalizwa, elashunyayelwa kukho konke okudaliweyo okuphansi kwezulu; mina Pawulu ngenziwa isikhonzi sakho;
24 engithokozayo khathesi ekuhluphekeni kwami ngenxa yenu, njalo enyameni yami ngigcwalisa okusilele kwezinhlupheko zikaKristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, oyibandla;
25 engenziwa ngayo isikhonzi ngokohlelo lukaNkulunkulu engiwuphiwe ngenxa yenu, ukugcwalisa izwi likaNkulunkulu;
26 ngitsho imfihlakalo ebifihliwe kusukela kudala lezizukulwaneni, kodwa khathesi ibonakalisiwe kwabangcwele bakhe;
27 kubo uNkulunkulu athanda ukubazisa ukuthi iyini ingcebo yenkazimulo yale mfihlakalo phakathi kwabezizwe; onguKristu phakathi kwenu, ithemba lenkazimulo;
28 esimshumayelayo, sixwayisa wonke umuntu, sifundisa wonke umuntu ngakho konke ukuhlakanipha; ukuze sethule wonke umuntu ephelele kuKristu Jesu;
29 Nami ngiyakukhandlekela lokho, ngilwa ngokokusebenza kwakhe okusebenza kimi ngamandla.

16 Isandla sokunene sikaJehova siphakeme, esokunene sikaJehova senza amandla amakhulu.
17 Angiyikufa, kepha ngiyakuphila, ngishumayele imisebenzi kaJehova.
18 INkosi yangijezisa kanzima, kodwa ayizange inginikele ekufeni.
19 Ngivulele amasango okulunga; ngizongena ngalo ngidumise uJehova.
20 Leli sango likaJehova abalungileyo abayongena kulo.
21 Ngifuna ukukudumisa, ngoba ungizwile futhi waba yinsindiso yami.
22 Itshe abalinqabayo abakhi laba yinhloko yegumbi.
23 Yilokhu uJehova akwenzayo; kuyamangalisa emehlweni ethu.
24 Lolu wusuku uJehova alwenzileyo; sizojabula futhi sijabule ngakho.
25 O Jehova, sindisa, Jehova, thumela impumelelo.
26 Ubusisiwe ozayo egameni likaJehova; sinibusisile sisendlini kaJehova.
27 UNkulunkulu unguJehova owenza ukuba sibone ukukhanya; bopha umnikelo ngezintambo ezimpondweni ze-altare.
28 Wena unguNkulunkulu wami, futhi ngifuna ukukudumisa; Wena unguNkulunkulu wami, ngizokuphakamisa.
29 Dumisani uJehova; ngokuba muhle, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

Johane 10 : 1 – 42
1 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ongangeni ngesango esibayeni sezimvu, kodwa ekhwela ngenye indlela, lowo ulisela nomphangi.
2 Kepha ongena ngesango ungumalusi wezimvu.
3 Umlindisango uyamvulela; nezimvu ziyalizwa izwi lakhe, ubiza ezakhe izimvu ngamagama, aziholele phandle.
4 Nxa esezikhiphile ezakhe izimvu, uhamba phambi kwazo, nezimvu zimlandele, ngokuba ziyalazi izwi lakhe.
5 Nomfokazi aziyikumlandela, kepha ziyakumbalekela, ngokuba azilazi izwi labafokazi.
6 UJesu wakhuluma lo mfanekiso kubo, kepha bona kabaqondanga ukuthi kuyini abekukhuluma kubo.
7 Khona uJesu wabuye wathi kubo: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Mina ngiyisango lezimvu.
8 Bonke abake bafika ngaphambi kwami bangamasela nabaphangi, kepha izimvu azibezwanga.
9 Mina ngiyisango; uma umuntu engena ngami, uyakusindiswa, angene aphume, afumane idlelo.
10 Isela alizi kodwa ukweba nokubulala nokubhubhisa; mina ngize ukuba babe nokuphila, babe nakho kuchichime.
11 Mina ngingumalusi omuhle; umalusi omuhle udela ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yezimvu.
12 Kodwa okhokhelwayo, engesiye umalusi, izimvu ezingezona ezakhe, ebona impisi iza, uyazishiya izimvu, abaleke, impisi izibambe, izihlakaze.
13 Oqashwayo uyabaleka, ngokuba engoqashiwe, engazikhathaleli izimvu.
14 Mina ngingumalusi omuhle, ngiyazazi izimvu zami, nezami ziyaziwa.
15 Njengokuba uBaba uyangazi, nami ngiyamazi uBaba, futhi ngidela ukuphila kwami ngenxa yezimvu.
16 Nezinye izimvu nginazo ezingesizo ezalesi sibaya; nalezo ngimelwe ukuziletha, ziyakuzwa izwi lami; futhi kuyoba mhlambi munye, nomalusi oyedwa.
17 Ngakho uBaba uyangithanda, ngokuba mina ngidela ukuphila kwami, ukuze ngibuye ngikuthabathe.
18 Akakho ongangamuka mina, kodwa mina ngidela ngokwami. Nginamandla okukubeka phansi, nginamandla okubuye ngikuthabathe; lomlayo ngiwamukele kuBaba.
19 Kwaphinda kwaba khona ukwahlukana phakathi kwabaJuda ngalawa mazwi.
20 Abaningi kubo bathi: “Unedemoni, uyahlanya; nimlaleleni na?
21 Abanye bathi: “Lawo mazwi akusiwo awonedemoni. Idemoni lingavula amehlo ezimpumputhe na?
22 Kwakungumkhosi wokuhlanjululwa eJerusalema; kwakusebusika.
23 UJesu wayehambahamba ethempelini ekhulusini likaSolomoni.
24 Base bemhaqa abaJuda, bathi kuye: “Koze kube nini usenza singabaze na? Uma unguKristu, sitshele ngokusobala.
25 UJesu wabaphendula wathi: “Nginitshelile, kepha anikholwanga; imisebenzi engiyenzayo egameni likaBaba yiyona efakaza ngami.
26 Kepha anikholwa, ngokuba anisibo abezimvu zami, njengalokho ngasho kini.
27 Izimvu zami ziyalizwa ilizwi lami, lami ngiyazazi, futhi ziyangilandela;
28 Mina ngizinika ukuphila okuphakade; azisoze zabhubha naphakade, akakho ongazihlwitha esandleni sami.
29 UBaba onginike zona mkhulu kunabo bonke; futhi akakho ongazihlwitha esandleni sikaBaba.
30 Mina noBaba simunye.
