9 Ukuba uthe wamvuma ngomlomo wakho iNkosi uYesu, ukholwe entliziyweni yakho ukuba uThixo wamvusa kwabafileyo, uya kusindiswa.

Isahluko 10
Bazalwana, umnqweno wam intliziyo kunye nomthandazo kuThixo kuSirayeli, ukuba basindiswe.
2 Kuba ndibabalisela ukuba banentshiseko kaThixo, kodwa kungekhona ngokwazi.
3 Kuba bengazi ubulungisa bukaThixo, bahamba ukuzimisela ubulungisa babo, abazithobeli ubulungisa bukaThixo.
4 Kuba uKristu uyiphelo lomthetho wobulungisa kubo bonke abakholwayo.
5 Kuba uMoses uchaza ubulungisa obusemthethweni, ukuba umntu owenza ezo zinto uya kuphila ngazo.
6 Ke ubulungisa obukholweni buyathetha ngala mazwi, Ungatsho entliziyweni yakho ukuthi, Ngubani na oya kunyuka? (oko kukuthi, ukuhlisela uKristu phezulu)
7 Okanye, Ngubani na oya kunzulu? (oko kukuthi, ukuvusa uKristu kwakhona kwabafileyo.)
8 Kodwa uthetha ntoni na? Ilizwi lisondele kuwe, nasemlonyeni wakho nasentliziyweni yakho; oko kukuthi ilizwi lokholo esisishumayelayo;
9 Ukuba uthe wamvuma ngomlomo wakho iNkosi uYesu, ukholwe entliziyweni yakho ukuba uThixo wamvusa kwabafileyo, uya kusindiswa.
10 Ngokuba ngentliziyo indoda ikholwa ebulungiseni; kwaye ngomlomo uvumo lwenziwa ekusindisweni.
11 Kuba isibhalo sithi, Okholwayo kuye akayi kudana.
12 Kuba akukho ntlukwano phakathi komYuda kunye nesiGrike; kuba iNkosi enye phezu kwayo izityebi kuzo zonke ezibiza kuye.
13 Kuba bonke abaya kubiza igama leNkosi baya kusindiswa.
14 Baya kubiza bani kuye abangakholwayo kuye? Baza kukholelwa njani kuye abangazange bave? Bayayiva njani ngaphandle komshumayeli?
15 Baya kushumayela njani, ngaphandle kokuba bathunyelwe? njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Yeka indlela ezintle ngayo iinyawo zabo ezivakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zoxolo, zizise izindaba ezilungileyo zezinto ezilungileyo!
16 Kodwa abazange balithobele iindaba ezilungileyo. Ngokuba uIsaya uthi, Nkosi, ngubani na okholwe yethu ingxelo?
17 Ngoko ke ukholo luvela ngokuva, nokuva ngelizwi likaThixo.
18 Ke mna ndithi, Abazange bakuve na? Ewe inene, isandi sabo saya kuwo wonke umhlaba, kunye namazwi abo ekupheleni kwehlabathi.
19 Kodwa ndithi, Ngaba uSirayeli akazange awazi? Okokuqala uMoses uthi, Ndiya kubangelela ukuba bangabi ngabantu, ndibe nomsindo kuni.
20 UIsaya ukhaliphe kakhulu, wathi, Ndifunyanwe ngabo bangandifunangayo; Ndabonakaliswa kubo abangaceliyo emva kwam.
21 Uthi kuSirayeli, Nsuku zonke ndiyolule izandla kunye nabantu abangathobeliyo nabangenayo.
