Indlela iNkosi ihlonipha abapristi
Lalelani-ke, nina mikhosi, nezingelosi zami! Ngikhethe abapristi ngaphezu kwezingelosi namanye amadoda futhi ngibanikeze amandla wokungcwelisa umzimba wami futhi bawuthinte. Ukube bengifuna, bengingabeka umsebenzi onjalo ezingelosini, kepha ngiyabathanda kakhulu abapristi ukuthi ngibaphakamisele inhlonipho enjalo futhi ngabayala ukuthi babekhona phambi kwami, bahlelwe ngamazinga ayisikhombisa. Kwakudingeka babekezele njengezimvu, bahlale bezindonga ezinesisekelo esizinzileyo, begcwele impilo futhi bephana njengamasosha, bahlakaniphile njengezinyoka, benesizotha njengezintombi, bemsulwa njengezingelosi, benothando lomdlandla onjengomakoti osondela embhedeni womshado. Manje, bangishiyile okubi, bangabantu abanjengezimpisi abathumba izimvu, ezingabekezeleleki ngenxa yendlala nokuhaha. Abahloniphi muntu futhi abanamahloni ngomuntu. Okwesibili, aziguquki njengamatshe odonga olonakalisiwe, ngoba bathembela izisekelo, okungukuthi, uNkulunkulu wabo, kube sengathi akakwazi ukufeza izidingo zabo noma akafuni ukuzondla nokuzisekela. Okwesithathu, sebeshonile futhi bembozwe ebumnyameni, njengamasela ahamba ebumnyameni bezinto zabo ezimbi. Azinaso isibindi samasosha nhlobo, ezidingekayo ukulwela inkazimulo nodumo lukaNkulunkulu, futhi azinawo umoya wokupha odingekayo ukwenza izenzo zobuqhawe. Okwesine, baba ngamavila njengezimbongolo ezithobela amakhanda abo phansi: ngokufanayo bayiziwula futhi abanangqondo ngoba bahlala becabanga ngezinto zomhlaba, bengaphendukeli emiqondweni yabo ezulwini nasezintweni ezizayo. Okwesihlanu, bayadideka njengabakhombisa inhlonipho: bahamba phambi kwami ngokudabukisayo ezingutsheni zabo ezingenangqondo futhi wonke amalungu abo akhombisa inkanuko yabo. Okwesithupha, bangcolile njenge-pitch: wonke umuntu osondelayo kubo unamafu futhi uthwelwe. Endaweni yesikhombisa, ziyisinengiso… Kuphela abapristi abathile basondela kimi benesizungu, sengathi bangabakhubeki, Nokho mina, engingunguNkulunkulu neNkosi yazo zonke izidalwa ezisezulwini njengasemhlabeni, ngiya kubo bahlangane; ngemuva kokuba umpristi ekhulume amagama athi: Lokhu kungumzimba wami e-altare, phambi kwakhe nginguNkulunkulu weqiniso nomuntu weqiniso. Ngiphuthuma kongqongqoshe bami njengomlingani othandweni, ukuzama nokunambitha nabo ubumnandi obungcwele baphezulu kwami; kepha maye, angitholi ndawo ezinhliziyweni zabo. Lalelani futhi, bangane bami, ukuthi nginesithunzi esingakanani kubaphristi ngaphezu kwezingelosi nabantu: Ngibanikile amandla okwenza izinto ezinhlanu: ukubopha nokukhulula emhlabeni nasezulwini; ukuguqula izitha zami zibe ngabangane bakaNkulunkulu, namademoni anesono abe yizingelosi ezinhle; shumayela izwi lami; ngcwelise futhi ngcwelise umzimba wami, okungekho ngilosi engenza; thinta umzimba wami, okungekho noyedwa kini ongafuna ukuwenza.
