Ke ngoko, Nkosi, wena unguThixo wabalungileyo, awumiselanga inguquko kwabalungileyo, njengoAbraham, noIsake, noYakobi, abangonanga kuwe; kodwa undimisele inguquko mna ndingumoni; kuba ndonile ngaphezu kwenani lentlabathi yolwandle. Iziphambeko zam, Nkosi, zininzi; iziphambeko zam zininzi, andifanelekanga ukubona nokubona ukuphakama kwezulu ngenxa yobuninzi beziphambeko zam. Ndigobile phantsi ngeentambo zesinyithi ezininzi, kangangokuba andinakuphakamisa intloko yam, andinakukhululeka; kuba ndikucaphukisile umsindo wakho, ndenza ububi phambi kwakho; andizange ndenze ukuthanda kwakho, andizange ndiyigcine imiyalelo yakho; ndimise amasikizi, kwaye ndiphindaphinde iziphambeko. Ngoku ke ndiguqa idolo lentliziyo yam, ndicela ubabalo kuwe. Ndonile, Nkosi, ndonile, kwaye ndiyavuma ubugwenxa bam: ngenxa yoko, ndiyakucela ngokuthobeka, ndixolele, Nkosi, ndixolele, kwaye unganditshabalalisi ngobugwenxa bam. Musa ukundicaphukela ngonaphakade, ngokundigcinela ububi; ungandigwebi kwiindawo ezisezantsi zomhlaba. Kuba wena unguThixo, uThixo wabo baguqukayo; kwaye uya kubonisa kum konke ukulunga kwakho: kuba uya kundisindisa, endingafanelekanga, ngokwenceba yakho enkulu. Ngenxa yoko ndiya kukudumisa ngonaphakade yonke imihla yobomi bam: kuba onke amandla asezulwini ayakudumisa, kwaye uzuko lolwakho ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Amen.

Yizani ke, sithethe, utsho uYehova; nokuba izono zenu zibomvu, ziya kuba mhlophe njengekhephu; nokuba zibomvu njengebomvu, ziya kuba njengoboya begusha. Isaya 1:1618 Kungenceba yeNkosi ukuba singagqitywanga, kuba iinceba zayo azipheli. Zintsha yonke imihla kusasa; ukuthembeka kwakho kukhulu. IZililo 3:22-23 Yizani, masibuyele kuYehova, kuba uqwengile, uya kusiphilisa; usibethile, uya kusibopha. Emva kweentsuku ezimbini uya kusiphilisa; ngomhla wesithathu uya kusivusa, siphile phambi kwakhe. Hoseya 6:1-2 Ndiya kujonga kuYehova, ndiya kulindela kuThixo wosindiso lwam; uThixo wam uya kundiva. Musa ukundivuyelela, lutshaba lwam; xa ndiwile, ndiya kuvuka; xa ndihleli ebumnyameni, uYehova uya kuba kukukhanya kum. Ndiya kuthwala umsindo kaYehova, kuba ndonile kuye, ade andithethelele ityala lam, andigwebele; uya kundikhuphela ekukhanyeni, ndibubone ubulungisa bakhe. Mika 7:7-9 Ngoko ke, ekubeni sinombingeleli omkhulu, odlule emazulwini, uYesu uNyana kaThixo, masibambelele ngokuqinileyo kwisivumo sethu. Kuba asinaye umbingeleli omkhulu ongenako ukuvelana nobuthathaka bethu; kodwa wavavanywa ngeendlela zonke njengathi, kodwa engenasono. Ngoko ke masisondele ngenkalipho kwitrone yobabalo, ukuze samkelwe inceba, sifumane ubabalo lokunceda ngexesha elifanelekileyo. KumaHebhere 4:14-16 Ukuba sithi sinobudlelane naye, sibe sihamba ebumnyameni, siyaxoka, asiyenzi inyaniso; ke ukuba sihamba ekukhanyeni, njengokuba yena esekukhanyeni, sinobudlelane omnye nomnye, negazi likaYesu Kristu, uNyana wakhe, liyasihlambulula kuzo zonke izono. Ukuba sithi asinasono, siyazikhohlisa, inyaniso ayikho kuthi. Ukuba sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulilungisa, ukuba asixolele izono zethu, asihlambulule kuko konke ukungalungisi. 10Ukuba sithi asonanga, simenza ixoki, nelizwi lakhe alikho kuthi. 1 Yohane 1:6-10 Musa ukuba neentloni ukuvuma izono zakho; kwaye ungawunyanzeli umlambo ngenkani. INtshumayeli 4:26 Kodwa kwabo baguqukayo, wabanika ukubuya, wabathuthuzela abo basilelayo ekunyamezeleni. Buyelani eNkosini, nizilahle izono zenu, nenze umthandazo wenu phambi kobuso bakhe, ningakhubekisi. Buyelani koPhezukonke, nisuke ebubini: kuba uya kukukhokela ebumnyameni niye ekukhanyeni kwempilo, aze athiye amasikizi kakhulu. INtshumayeli 17:24-26

Imithandazo kunye namabali okuvuma izono, ukuguquka, ukubuyiselwa, kunye nokudumisa
Thuthuzelekani, bantwana bam, nikhale kuThixo, kuba niya kukhunjulwa nguye onizisele ezi zinto. Kuba njengoko benicinga ukumshiya uThixo, ngoko ke, xa nibuyile, mfuneni izihlandlo ezilishumi. Kuba lowo unizisele ezi zibetho uya kunizisela uvuyo olungunaphakade ngosindiso lwenu. Yibani nentliziyo entle, Yerusalem: kuba lowo ukunike elo gama uya kunithuthuzela. Bharuki 4:27-30
