1. Isithunywa eso sandibonisa umlambo onamanzi obomi ebengezela okweglasi. Ayempompoza evela kwibhotwe likaThixo kunye neXhwane.
2. La manzi ayesihla phakathi kwisitalato sesixeko eso. Lo mlambo wawuphahlwe ngumthi wobomi. Lo mthi uvelisa iziqhamo ngazo zonke iinyanga zonyaka. Amagqabi alo mthi ayimpilo yezizwe.
3. Nayiphi na into eqalekisiweyo ayisayi kubakho apho.Into ekhoyo apho libhotwe likaThixo kunye neXhwane. Izicaka zakhe ziya kuphithizela zimkhonza.
4. Ziya kujongana naye ebusweni, zinegama lakhe ebunzi.
5. Akusayi kubakho busuku khona; kungasayi kubakho mfuneko yasibane nalanga. Kaloku iNkosi uThixo uya kuzikhanyisela. Ziya kuxhamla ulawulo ngonaphakade kanaphakade.
6. Kananjalo sathi kum: “La mazwi ayinyaniso, athembekile. INkosi uThixo obaxhobisayo ngefuthe loMoya abavakalisi belizwi, wathumela isithunywa sakhe ukuze sibonise izicaka zakhe izinto eziza kwenzeka kamsinya.”
7. “Uyabona ke, ndiyeza ngokukhawuleza! Unoyolo umntu owathobelayo amazwi odaba lwale ncwadi!”
8. Ndim mna Yohane ozivileyo wazibona ezi zinto. Ndakuba ndizivile ndazibona ezi zinto, ndawa ezinyaweni zesithunywa eso sandibonisayo, ndikhahlela.
9. Kodwa sakhalima sathi: “Hayi bo! Sukwenjenjalo; kaloku nam ndisisicaka njengawe, ugxa wakho namawenu abavakalisi belizwi, nabo bonke abawathobelayo amazwi akule ncwadi. NguThixo ofanele ukumnqula wena.”
10. Saqhuba sathi: “Uze ungawafihli amazwi ale ncwadi; kaloku ithuba lokuzalisekiswa kwawo lisemnyango.
11. Ke yena umenzi wobubi makaqhubele phambili, ngokunjalo nongcolileyo makaqhubele phambili; nalowo ulungisayo makathathe unyawo, kanti ke nonyulu makahlale enjalo.
12. “Ewe, ndiyeza kamsinya! Ulowo nalowo ndiya kumphathela ibhaso ngokwemisebenzi yakhe!
13. Kaloku ndingu-A, ndikwangu-Z; ndingowokuqala, ndikwangowokugqibela, ndikwasisiqalo nesiphelo.”
14. Banoyolo abo bazabalazela ukuba bahlale benyulu! Baya kuba nelungelo kuwo umthi wobomi; baya kungena ngamasango esixekweni.
15. Kambe ke ngaphandle zizinja, namagqwirha, abarheletyi, izigwinta, abanqula *izithixo, nabo bonke abathe phithi kukuxoka.
16. “Ndim mna Yesu osithumileyo isithunywa sam ukuba siye kushumayela ezi ndaba emabandleni. Ndingumnombo nomzukulwana kaDavide, ikhwezi lokusa.”
17. UMoya kunye nomtshakazi bathi: “Yiza”Wonke umntu ovayo makathi: “Yiza!”Wonke umntu onxaniweyo makeze. Makawasele amanzi obomi; asisisa kwabo bawafunayo.
18. Ndiyamlumkisa wonke umntu owevayo amazwi ale ncwadi: Ukuba ukhe wawongeza, uThixo uya kumhlisela zonke izibetho ezichaziweyo kule ncwadi.
19. Kanti ke ukuba ukhe wawaphungula, uThixo uya kumvimba inxaxheba kuwo umthi wobomi, angabi nalungelo nakuso isiXeko esiNgcwele – zinto ezo zichaziweyo kule ncwadi.
20. Lo unika obu bungqina uthi: “Nanjani na ndiza kufika ngokukhawuleza!”Makube njalo! Yiza, Nkosi Yesu!
21. Ubabalo lweNkosi uYesu maluhlale kuni nonke.
