9 Ulenzuzo bani osebenzayo kwatshikatshika kikho?
Litomba nini mosali azwaka na mosala oyo amonelaka pasi?
10 Ngiwubonile umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awunike abantwana babantu ukuthi baphatheke ngawo.
Natalaki mokumba oyo Nzambe amemisaki bato.
11 Konke ukwenze kwaba kuhle ngesikhathi sakho; wasebeka iphakade enhliziyweni yabo, ukuze kungabi lomuntu ongafumana umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awenzayo kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni.
Nzambe asalaka eloko na eloko malamu na tango na yango; atiaka lisusu, kati na mitema ya bato, posa ya koyeba mabombami na Ye. Nzokande, bato bakokaka te kososola mosala ya Nzambe, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka.
12 Ngiyazi ukuthi kakukho okuhle kubo ngaphandle kokuthokoza lokwenza okuhle empilweni yakhe.
Nayebi ete ezali na eloko moko oyo eleki malamu mpo na bato: ezali kaka kosepela mpe kozala malamu tango bazali na bomoi.
13 Futhi lokuthi wonke umuntu adle anathe akholise okuhle ngomtshikatshika wakhe wonke, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.
Yango wana, tika ete moto na moto alia, amela mpe amona bolamu kati na mosala na ye nyonso, pamba te ezali likabo ya Nzambe.
14 Ngiyazi ukuthi konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo kuzakuba khona phakade; kakukho okuzakwengezelelwa kukho, njalo kakukho okuzaphungulwa kukho; uNkulunkulu wakwenza ukuze besabe phambi kwakhe.
Nayebi ete makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe asalaka ewumelaka seko; boye ezali ata na eloko moko te ya kobakisa na likolo na yango to ya kolongola kati na yango. Nzambe asalaka yango bongo mpo ete bakumisa Ye.
15 Lokho okwakukhona kukhona khathesi, lalokho okuzakuba khona sekuvele kukhona; njalo uNkulunkulu ufuna okuxotshiweyo.
Makambo oyo ezali lelo esila kozala na kala, mpe makambo oyo ekoya ezala wuta kala; Nzambe nde azongisaka makambo oyo esila koleka na tango ya kala.
16 Futhi ngasengibona ngaphansi kwelanga indawo yokwahlulela, kwakukhona ububi lapho; lendawo yokulunga, kwakukhona ububi lapho.
Namonaki lisusu likambo moko na se ya moyi: ezala na esika oyo basambisaka bato, mabe ezali kaka; ezala na esika ya bosembo, mabe ezangaka te.
17 Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami: UNkulunkulu uzakwahlulela olungileyo lomubi, ngoba kukhona lapho isikhathi sayo yonke indaba lesawo wonke umsebenzi.
Namilobelaki kati na ngai: « Nzambe akosambisa, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe, pamba te ezali na tango mpo na likambo moko na moko, mpe ezali na tango mpo na kosambisa likambo moko na moko. »
18 Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami ngesimo sabantwana babantu ukuthi uNkulunkulu abatshengise obala ukuthi babone ukuthi bona uqobo bazinyamazana.
Namilobelaki lisusu: « Nzambe amekaka bato mpo ete bakoka komimona bango moko ete bazali lokola banyama.
19 Ngoba okwehlela abantwana babantu kwehlela lezinyamazana; njalo yinye into ebehlelayo; njengoba omunye esifa, ngokunjalo enye iyafa; yebo konke kulomoya munye, lomuntu kalakho angadlula ngakho inyamazana; ngoba konke kuyize.
Suka ya moto ezali lokola suka ya nyama: bango mibale basukaka kaka ndenge moko; ndenge moko akufaka, mosusu mpe akufaka kaka bongo. Bango nyonso bazali kaka na pema moko: moto aleki nyama na eloko te. Nyonso wana ezali kaka pamba.
20 Konke kuya endaweninye; konke kuvela ethulini, njalo konke kubuyela ethulini.
Nyonso ekendaka kaka esika moko; nyonso ewutaki na putulu, mpe nyonso ekozonga kaka na putulu.
21 Ngubani owazi umoya wabantwana babantu owenyukela phezulu, lomoya wenyamazana owehlela phansi emhlabathini?
Nani ayebi soki molimo ya moto emataka na likolo, mpe soki molimo ya nyama ekitaka na se ya mabele? »
22 Ngakho ngabona ukuthi kakukho okungcono okwedlula ukuthi umuntu azithokozise ngemisebenzi yakhe, ngoba lokhu kuyisabelo sakhe. Ngoba ngubani ongamletha ukuthi abone lokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhe?
Boye, nasosolaki ete ezali na eloko moko te oyo eleki malamu mpo na moto, soki kaka te kosepela mpe komona bolamu na mosala na ye, pamba te yango nde ezali litomba na ye. Nani akoki kosunga ye mpo ete amona makambo oyo ekoya sima na ye?
