UJehova wambheka , wathi: Hamba ngalawa mandla akho , umsindise u - Israyeli esandleni sakwaMidiyani; angikuthumanga na?

USawule wayesewela phan si ngekhanda, wesaba kakhulu ngenxa yamazwi kaSamuweli, akwabakho mandla kuye , ngokuba akadlanga lutho ngosuku lonke nobusuku bonke.

Sengilungisele indlu kaNkulunkulu wami nga mandla ami onke igolide lokwegolide, nesiliva lokwesiliva, nethusi lokwethusi, nensimbi yokwensimbi, nemithi yokwemithi, namatshe amashohamu nawokufakwa , namatshe ahlobisayo nanemibala eyahlukeneyo , nezinhlobo zonke zamatshe ayigugu , namatshe amhlophe amaningi.

Ngiyakuthanda, Jehova, mandla ami.

Kepha wena Jehova mawungabi kude, wena mandla ami, shesha ungisize.

Mandla ami, ngiyakulindela wena, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami.

Mandla ami , ngizakuhubela wena; ngokuba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami , unguNkulunkulu wami womusa.

Jehova Nkosi yami, mandla ensindiso yami , uvikela ikhanda lami ngosuku lokulwa.

Jehova, mandla ami nenqaba yami , siphephelo sami ngosuku lokuhlupheka, bayakuza kuwe a bezizwe, bevela emajukujukwini omhlaba , bathi: Obaba badlile ifa lamanga kuphela , okuyize, engekho kukho insizakalo.

Ngayibona isondela kakhulu enqameni , yababa ngayo , yayishaya inqama , yazaphula izimpondo zayo ezimbili ; kwakungekho mandla enqameni okuma phambi kwayo , kepha yayiphonsa phansi , yayinyathela, kwakungekho ongayophula inqama esandleni sayo.

Ngashiywa ngedwa ; ngawubona lombono omkhulu, akusalanga mandla kimi, ngokuba ubuhle bami baphenduka ukonakala kimi, angaba namandla.

Inceku enje yenkosi yami ingakhuluma kanjani nenkosi yami enje na ? Ngokuba mina , khona lapho akusalanga mandla kimi , nokuphefumula bekungasekho kimi.

Esefikile emzini wakubo wabafundisa esinagogeni labo , baze bamangala, bathi: Lo ukuthathaphi lokhu kuhlakanipha nalawa mandla na?

waze wathi ezincekwini zakhe : Lo nguJohane uMbhapathizi ; yena uvukile kwabafileyo; kungalokho lawa mandla asebenza kuye.

Yayisikuzwa inkosi uHerode , ngokuba lalidumile igama lakhe . Kwathiwa uJohane uMbhapathizi uvukile kwabafileyo ; kungalokho lawa mandla asebenza kuye.

wathi: Ngipheni nami lawo mandla, ukuze yilowo nalowo engibeka izandla phezu kwakhe amukele uMoya oNgcwele.

Akube yilowo nalowo azithobe phansi kwamandla ombuso , ngokuba akukho mandla ombuso angaveli kuNkulunkulu ; lawa a khona amiswe nguNkulunkulu.

Uma abanye behlanganyela lawo mandla phezu kwenu , kungebe yithi kakhulu na ? Nokho asilisebenzisanga lelo gunya , kepha sibekezela ngakho konke, ukuze singalithiyi ivangeli likaKristu.
