NguMfundisi uSimeon uMfundi ngezakwalizwi Omtsha,
IsukaUmyalelo ngesohlwayo kubo bonke: ookumkani, oobhishophu, ababingeleli, iimonki namarhamente, othethwayo, othethwayo ngomlomo kaThixo." (isicatshulwa)
…Oobhishophu, iintloko zeedayosisi, bayaqonda:
Ungumfanekiso womfanekiso Wam.
Ubekwe, uthetha phambi kwam,
Ibandla labathe tye wena uze.
Nibizwa ngokuba ningabafundi bam,
Ndithwele umfanekiso wam wobuThixo.
Naphezu kwetafile encinci yasekuhlaleni
Ufumene amandla amakhulu,
Oko ndinako kuBawo, uThixo uLizwi.
NdinguThixo ngendalo, kodwa ndaba yinyama
Kwaye ndaba yindoda, kodwa ngezenzo ezibini, iya
Kwaye kwiimeko ezimbini. Ayinakwahlulwa, ayidityaniswanga.
Ndingumntu kwaye uThixo ugqibelele.
Njengendoda ndikuphakamisile
Ngezandla zakho ukuze ubambe kwaye uNdibambe.
NjengoThixo, andifikeleleki kuwe
Kwaye kunzima kwizandla zakho ezifayo.
Andibonakali kwimfama ngomoya;
Kuko konke ukuxhela - ndahlala ndingenakufikeleleka,
UThixo nomntu kwi-Hypostasis enye ye-Self.
Phakathi koobhishophu kukho abo
Owathi ngosana lwabo waba nekratshi,
Kwaye baphakama ngaphezu kwabanye,
Ukugqala wonke umntu njengongento yanto kwaye uphantsi.
Kukho oobhishophu abambalwa aba
Bakude kakhulu nesidima sombuso wabo.
Andithethi ngaba baphi
Amazwi anezenzo, anobomi manye,
Kwaye ubomi babo bubonisa imfundiso kunye namazwi.
Kodwa ndithetha kakhulu ngeebhishophu,
Abaphila ubomi obungahambelaniyo nokushumayela kwabo
Neemfihlelo zam ezoyikekayo ezingazaziyo,
Bacinga ukuba baya kunyuka isonka sam somlilo;
Ke sona isonka sam bayasidela okunene;
Kwaye badla isonka esilula, kodwa uzuko lwam olungabonakaliyo,
Akunakwenzeka ukuba ukhe ukrobe kuzo kwaphela.
Ke ngoko, bambalwa koobhishophu Bam abafanelekileyo.
Baninzi abakwizikhundla eziphezulu
Kwaye ngembonakalo bathobekile - kodwa ngobuxoki,
Ngezothe, ubudenge, ukuthobeka okuhanahanisayo.
Ukusukela indumiso yabantu kuphela,
Bayandidelela, Mdali wehlabathi lonke;
Ke mna ndilihlwempu, ndideliwe, ndideliwe;
Bawubambe umzimba wam ungafanelekanga,
Bezabalazela ukuphakama ngaphezu kwabo bonke, kodwa abazange benze njalo
Izambatho zobabalo lwaM ezithi
Abazange bazuze nangayiphi na indlela.
Beza etempileni yam, bengamenywanga;
Bangena enzulwini yezindlu ezinkulu ezingathethwayo;
Ezingafanelekanga nokuba zikhangeleke ngaphandle.
Kodwa mna ngenceba ndiyakuthwala ukuhlazeka kwabo.
Ukungena, bathetha nam ngokungathi kumhlobo:
Abanifuni njengezicaka, kodwa njengamaqabane
Ukuzibonakalisa - kwaye beme apho ngokungenaloyiko.
Ngaphandle kothando lwam,
Bathembisa abantu ukuba baya kubathandazela,
Nangona unetyala lezono ezininzi,
Bambatha iingubo ezibengezelayo;
Kodwa zikhangeleka zicocekile ngaphandle kuphela.
Umphefumlo wabo umdaka ngaphezu kodaka lwemigxobhozo.
Ziyoyikeka ngaphezu kwetyhefu ebulalayo;
Abakhohlakeleyo, abangamalungisa ngembonakalo kuphela.
Njengomngcatshi uYudas,
Wathabatha isonka kum, wadla engafanelekile;
Ngokungathi esi sonka siyeyona nto iqhelekileyo,
Kwathi ngelo xesha, wangena kuye uMtyholi ngesonka;
Yamenza umngcatshi ongenazintloni kuThixo.
Umenzi wentando yakhe okhohlakeleyo,
Ikhoboka nesicaka sakwaYuda senjenjalo.
Oku kuya kwenzeka ngokungazi kwabo bathe
Nto leyo ngenkalipho, ngokuzingca nangokungafanelekanga
My Divine Mysteries touch.
Ingakumbi iintloko zedayosisi, zamakomkhulu,
Ababingeleli rhoqo
Phambi koMthendeleko banesazela esitshileyo;
Kwaye ke - sele egwetyiwe ngokupheleleyo.
Ngena kwiNkundla yam yobuThixo ngesibindi,
Bema esibingelelweni beneentloni, bethetha omnye nomnye.
Ukungandiboni nokungaziva tu
Uzuko lwam lobuThixo olungafikelelekiyo.
Ewe, ukuba babenokubona, babengenakuba nabuganga
Babengenakuze babe nobuganga bokwenza ngolo hlobo
Ukungena kwivestibule yecawa yamaOthodoki.
...
Ngubani na kuthi, ababingeleli, namhlanje
Waqala wazicoca kubungendawo
Kwaye kungoko kuphela apho waba nobuganga bokuba ngumfundisi?
Ngubani onokuthi ngaphandle koloyiko,
Ukuba waludelela uzuko lwasemhlabeni waza wamkela ububingeleli
Kuphela kuzuko oluNgcwele lwasezulwini?
Ngubani eyedwa owamthanda uKristu ngokupheleleyo;
Yaye wagatya igolide nobutyebi?
Ngubani ophila ngokuthozamileyo nowanelisekileyo kokuncinane?
Yaye ngubani ongazange asebenzise kakubi?
Ngubani ongakhathazwa sisazela ngenxa yokunyotywa?
