ISambulo
10 Ngasengibona enye ingilosi elamandla isehla ivela ezulwini yembethe iyezi* njalo ekhanda layo kwakulomchilowamakhosikazi. Ubuso bayo babunjengelanga lenyawo zayo zazinjengezinsika zomlilo 2 futhi esandleni sayo yayilencwadimgoqwa encane eyayivuliwe. Yabeka unyawo lwayo lwesokudla elwandle kodwa olwenxele yalubeka emhlabathini, 3 yasimemeza ngelizwi elikhulu kwangathi yisilwane esibhongayo. Yathi imemeza, ngezwa amazwi emidumo yezulu eyisikhombisa.
4 Imidumo yezulu eyisikhombisa yasikhuluma, ngasengithi kahle ngibhale kodwa ngezwa ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi: “Vala ngophawu izinto ezikhulunywe yimidumo yezulu eyisikhombisa njalo ungazibhali.” 5 Ingilosi engayibona imi elwandle lasemhlabathini yaphakamisela ezulwini isandla sayo sokudla, 6 yafunga ngaLowo ophila kuze kube nini lanini owadala izulu lezinto ezikulo, lomhlaba lezinto ezikuwo, kanye lolwandle lezinto ezikulo, yathi: “Kakusoze kube kusaphuza.7 Kodwa ngensuku lapho ingilosi yesikhombisa eyabe isizatshaya khona icilongo layo, imfihlo engcwele yezindaba ezinhle uNkulunkulu ayezitshela izinceku zakhe ezingabaphrofethi izagcwaliseka loba sekutheni.”
8 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi elivela ezulwini likhuluma lami futhi, lisithi: “Hamba uyethatha incwadimgoqwa evuliweyo esesandleni sengilosi emi elwandle lasemhlabathini.” 9 Ngaya engilosini ngayitshela ukuthi ingiphe leyoncwadimgoqwa encane. Yathi kimi: “Yithathe uyidle, izakwenza isisu sakho sibe buhlungu* kodwa emlonyeni wakho izabe imnandi njengoluju.” 10 Ngayithatha incwadimgoqwa encane eyayisesandleni sengilosi, ngayidla. Emlonyeni wami yayimnandi njengoluju kodwa ngathi sengiyidlile, isisu sami saba buhlungu.* 11 Basebesithi kimi: “Kumele uphinde uphrofethe ngabantu, langezizwe, langezindimi, langamakhosi amanengi.”
