uBaba wethu uyasukuma ukuba ahlulele
Ihubo lika-Asafa.
UBaba wethu uyasukuma emhlanganweni waphezulu abeke icala kumandla ahlulela ngezinkantolo ezikhohlakele. Umsebenzi wabo wawungakaze ube nzima: ukuvikela ababuthakathaka, intandane, abampofu ngokuphelele. Bayokufa njengabantu abavamile, futhi umhlaba ubuyiselwa kuMahluleli wawo weqiniso.
82 1uBaba wethu umi emhlanganweni waphezulu; phakathi konkulunkulu uyahlulela. a a v1 Laba “onkulunkulu” bomhlangano waphezulu bangababusi namandla uBaba wethu awabeke phezu kwezizwe — ababophekile ukuziphendulela kuye, abasoze baba yizimbangi zakhe. UmBhalo wazi uNkulunkulu oyedwa; laba bami ngaphansi kokwahlulela kwakhe.
2“Koze kube nini nahlulela ngokungalungile, nivuna ababi na?
3“Vikelani ababuthakathaka nezintandane; melani icala labahluphekayo nabaswele. 4Hlangulani ababuthakathaka nabaswele; nibakhulule esandleni sababi. 5Abazi, abaqondi; bazulazula ebumnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba ziyanyakaziswa. 6Ngathi: ‘Ningonkulunkulu; nonke ningamadodana oPhezukonke.’ 7Kodwa niyakufa njengabantu nje; niyakuwa njengawo wonke umbusi.”
8Vuka, Baba wethu, wahlulele umhlaba, ngokuba zonke izizwe ziyifa lakho.
