24 “Kulamaviki angu-70* amiselwe abantu bakini kanye ledolobho lakini elingcwele+ ukuze kususwe isiphambeko, kuqedwe isono,+ kuhlawulelwe icala,+ kulethwe ukulunga okungapheliyo,+ kufakwe isidindo embonweni lasesiphrofethweni*+ kanye lokuthi kugcotshwe indawo eNgcwele Kakhulu.* 25 Kumele ukwazi njalo uzwisise ukuthi kusukela ekukhitshweni kwelizwi lokuthi kuvuselelwe njalo kwakhiwe kutsha iJerusalema+ kuze kuyefika kuMesiya*+ uMkhokheli,+ kuzakuba lamaviki ayisikhombisa, lamaviki angu-62.+ Izavuselelwa njalo yakhiwe kutsha, ibe legceke ledolobho kanye lomgelo kodwa kuyabe kuyizikhathi ezinzima.

26 “Ngemva kwamaviki angu-62 uMesiya uzabulawa*+ asale engelalutho.+

“Abantu bomkhokheli ozayo bazatshabalalisa idolobho leli kanye lendawo engcwele.+ Isiphetho sakhona sizakuza angathi yisikhukhula. Kuzakuba lempi kuze kube sekucineni njalo sekuhlelwe ukuthi kube lomonakalo.+

27 “Kanti njalo yena uzagcina isivumelwano sisebenza okweviki eyodwa esenzela abanengi. Kodwa iviki izakuthi isiphakathi laphakathi, enze ukuthi imihlatshelo leminikelo kuphele.+

“Phezu kophiko lwezinto ezenyanyekayo kuzabe kulalowo obangela umonakalo+ futhi lokho okumisiweyo kuzathululelwa lakulowo ochithiweyo kuze kufike ukutshabalala.”
