Umnyaka Womusa KaThixo
1 Umoya kaThixo Wobukhosi uphezu kwami,
ngoba uThixo ungigcobile
ukuba ngitshumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu.
Ungithumile ukuba ngibophe inhliziyo ezidabukileyo,
ngimemezele ukukhululwa kwabathunjiweyo,
lokukhululwa kwezibotshwa emnyameni,
2 lokumemezela umnyaka womusa kaThixo,
losuku lokuphindisela kukaNkulunkulu wethu;
ukududuza abalilayo,
3 lokunakekela labo abadabukileyo eZiyoni,
ukubapha umqhele wobuhle
esikhundleni somlotha,
amafutha okujabula
esikhundleni sokulila,
lengubo yokudumisa
esikhundleni somoya wokulahla ithemba.
Bazabizwa ngokuthi yimʼokhi yokulunga,
ehlanyelwe nguThixo
ukuba abonakalise inkazimulo yakhe.
 
4 Bazavuselela njalo amanxiwa asendulo
bavuse lezindawo ezadilizwa kudala.
Bazavuselela amadolobho adilikayo
aleminyaka eminengi adilika.
5 Abezizwe bazakwelusa imihlambi yenu;
abezizwe bazalima amasimu enu lezivini zenu.
6 Lizabizwa ngokuthi abaphristi bakaThixo,
kuzathiwa liyizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu.
Lizakudla inotho yezizwe,
lizincome ngenotho yazo.
 
7 Esikhundleni sehlazo labo
abantu bami bazaphiwa isabelo esiphindwe kabili,
njalo esikhundleni sokuyangeka
bazathokoza ngelifa labo;
ngakho isabelo selifa labo elizweni sizaphindwa kabili,
lentokozo engapheliyo izakuba ngeyabo.
 
8 “Ngoba mina, uThixo, ngithanda ukulunga,
ngizonda ubugebenga lobubi.
Ngobuqotho bami ngizabanika umvuzo
ngenze isivumelwano esingapheliyo labo.
9 Izizukulwane zabo zizakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe,
lenzalo yabo yaziwe phakathi kwabantu.
Bonke abababonayo bazavuma
ukuthi bangabantu ababusiswe nguThixo.”
 
10 Ngiyathokoza kakhulu kuThixo;
umphefumulo wami uyajabula ngoNkulunkulu wami.
Ngoba ungigqokise izigqoko zokusindiswa,
wangicecisa ngezembatho zokulunga,
njengomyeni ececisa ikhanda lakhe njengomphristi,
lanjengomlobokazi ezicecise ngamatshe akhe aligugu.
11 Ngoba njengomhlabathi owenza ihlumela limile,
lesivande esenza inhlanyelo ikhule,
ngokunjalo uThixo Wobukhosi uzakwenza ukulunga
lodumo kuvele phambi kwezizwe zonke.
