Ubuye wandisa uvuyo, wandisa uvuyo. XNUMXZonwaba phambi kwakho, njengokuba uvuya ekuvuneni kwakho, nasekuvuyeni kwakho, xa nisabelana ngamaxhoba.

Mvumeleni ingoma entsha uYehova,
Vumani kuYehova, nonke hlabathi,
Vumani kuYehova, bongani igama lakhe.
Vakalisa ukusindiswa kwakhe imihla ngemihla;
Ngaphakathi kwabantu babalise uzuko lwakho,
Zonke izizwe ziya kuxela imimangaliso yakho.
Malivuye izulu, ligcobe ihlabathi,
Ulwandle lutyibilikile, lwashukuma;
gcoba amasimi nako konke okukuyo,
iyagcoba imithi yehlathi,
Yibani nemihlali phambi kweNkosi,
ngokuba esiza kugweba umhlaba.
Uya kuligweba elimiweyo ngobulungisa
Ngenene bonke abantu
Ileta ka-Saint Paul umPostile eya kuTito 2,11-14.
Zisondele ke, ubabalo lukaThixo, lulolusindise abantu bonke,
osifundisayo ukuba sikhanyele ukungabi nanto, kunye neminqweno yehlabathi, nokuba siphile ngokunesidima, nangokusesikweni, nangemfesane,

Ukusuka kwiVangeli kaYesu Krestu ngokukaLuka 2,1-14.
Ngezo ntsuku ummiselo kaKesare Awugusto wawisa umthetho wokuba kubalwe umhlaba wonke.
Oku kubalwa kokuqala kwenziwa xa uQuirinius wayeyirhuluneli yeSyria.
Bonke baya kubhaliswa, ngamnye esixekweni sakhe.
UJosefu, owayendlwini kaDavide, wayevela eNazarete naseGalili, emzini kaDavide, othiwa yiBhetelehem, kwelakwaYuda,
ukubhalisa kunye nenkosikazi yakhe uMaria, owayekhulelwe.
Ke kaloku, bathi besendaweni, yazaliseka imihla yokuzalwa kwakhe.
Wazala unyana wakhe wamazibulo, wamsongela iingubo zakhe wambeka emkhumbini, kuba bekungekho ndawo kubo kwihotele.
Kwakukho abalusi kuloo mmandla ababebukele ebusuku begada umhlambi wabo.
Babona ke isithunywa seNkosi simi phambi kwabo, bathi nobuqaqawuli beNkosi, babakhanyisela. Bangenwa lunkwantyo olukhulu,
kodwa ingelosi yathi kubo: “Musani ukoyika, yabonani, ndinazisa olukhulu uvuyo, oluya kuba kubo bonke abantu:
namhlanje kuzelwe kwisixeko sikaDavide umsindisi, onguKristu iNkosi.
Nangu ke umqondiso kuwe: uya kufumana umntwana osongelwe iingubo, elele emkhumbini.
Kwaye kwaoko kwavela inyambalala yomkhosi wasemazulwini kunye nesengelo sidumisa uThixo, besithi:
"Uzuko kuThixo kweliphezulu izulu noxolo emhlabeni kumadoda awathandayo."
