Esandleni Sakho Nginikela
Kumqondisi womculo. Ihubo likaDavide.
Ezingelwa futhi enyenyezwa kuze kube yilapho omakhelwane bemgwema emgwaqweni, uDavide uzizwa ekhohliwe njengembiza ephukile. Nokho uthi izikhathi zakhe zisesandleni sikaBaba wakhe futhi unikela umoya wakhe khona, ekhumbula ukuthi wake walalelwa emzini owawuvinjezelwe.
31 1Kuwena, Baba, ngiphephela khona; mangingaze ngijabhiswe; ngokulunga kwakho ngikhulule. 2Thobisela indlebe yakho kimi; ngikhulule ngokushesha. Yiba yidwala lami lokuphephela, inqaba yokuvikela ukuze ungisindise. 3Ngokuba wena uyidwala lami nenqaba yami; ngenxa yegama lakho uyangihola uyangiqondisa. 4Uyangikhulula enetheni abangifihlele lona, ngokuba wena uyisiphephelo sami.
5Esandleni sakho nginikela umoya wami; ungihlengile, Baba, othembekile noqinisile. a a v5 UJesu wawathandaza la mazwi lapho efa — “Baba, ezandleni zakho nginikela umoya wami” (Luka 23:46) — ezinikela kuBaba leli hubo elithembela kuye. 6Ngiyabazonda abanamathela ezithombeni eziyize, kodwa mina ngithembela kuBaba wami. 7Ngiyakujabula ngithokoze ngomusa wakho, ngokuba usibonile isizi sami; uzazile izinkathazo zomphefumulo wami, 8awunginikelanga esitheni; umise izinyawo zami endaweni ebanzi. 9Woba nomusa kimi, Baba, ngokuba ngisekuhluphekeni; amehlo ami agugile ngosizi, kanjalo nomphefumulo wami nomzimba wami. 10Ngokuba ukuphila kwami kudlekile ngokudabuka, neminyaka yami ngokububula; amandla ami ayaphela ngenxa yesono sami, namathambo ami ayonakala. 11Ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami sengibe yihlazo, ikakhulukazi komakhelwane bami, nowesabekayo kwabangijwayele; ababongibona emgwaqweni bayangibalekela. 12Ngikhohlakele njengofileyo, njengongasakhunjulwa; sengifana nebhodwe elephukileyo.
13Ngokuba ngizwa ukuhlebezelana kwabaningi—uvalo nxazonke—njengoba bebambisene bemelene nami, beceba ukuthatha ukuphila kwami. 14Kodwa mina ngithembela kuwena, Baba; ngithi: “Wena unguBaba wami.” 15Izikhathi zami zisesandleni sakho; ngikhulule esandleni sezitha zami nakwabangizingelayo. 16Khanyisa ubuso bakho phezu kwenceku yakho; ngisindise ngomusa wakho. 17Baba, mangingajabhiswa, ngokuba ngiyakubiza; ababi mabajabhiswe bathuliswe engcwabeni.
18Izindebe ezinamanga mazithuliswe, ezikhuluma ngokuzidla zimelene nabalungileyo ngokuzigqaja nokwedelela. 19Bukhulu kangakanani ubuhle bakho, obubekele labo abakwesaba wena, obubonakalisile kulabo abaphephela kuwena, phambi kwabantu bonke.
20Esiphephelweni sobukhona bakho uyabafihla emacebeni abantu; uyabalondoloza esiphephelweni sakho ezilimini ezinyundelayo. 21Makabusiswe uBaba wami, ngokuba ungibonakalisele umusa wakhe omangalisayo ngisemzini owawuvinjezelwe.
22Ngangithe ekwethukeni kwami: “Nginqunyiwe phambi kwamehlo akho.” Kodwa wakuzwa ukunxusa kwami ngomusa lapho ngikhala kuwena ngicela usizo. 23Thandani uBaba wethu, nina nonke enithembekile kuye. UBaba wethu uyabalonda abathembekile, kodwa uyamphindisela ngokugcwele lowo owenza ngokuzidla. 24Qinani, nime isibindi, nina nonke enilindele uBaba wethu.
