1 Emva kwalokhu ngakhangela, ngabona umnyango phambi kwami uvulekile ezulwini. Ilizwi engangilizwe kuqala lingikhulumisa kungathi licilongo lathi, “Woza lapha ngikutshengise okuzakwenzakala emva kwalokhu.”
Pa cindici ndalabona cimboni mboni nacimbi, ndalabona cishinga ca kwilu cacaluka. Maswi alikunyumfwiketi kulila kwa tolompita ngondali kunyumfwa kamba kuli njameti, “Kwesa kuno ndikuleshe bintu byeti bitatike kwinshika panyuma pa ibi.”
2 Khonokho nje ngahle ngehlelwa nguMoya, kwathi phambi kwami ngabona isihlalo sobukhosi ezulwini kulomuntu owayehlezi kuso.
Mushimu wa Lesa mpowalamfukata, ndalabona cipuna ca Bwami kwilu ne uyo walikuba wekalapo.
3 Lowo owayehlezi lapho wayefana lejaspa lekhaneliya. Umchilowamakhosikazi owawufana le-emeralidi wawuzingeleze isihlalo sobukhosi.
Uyo walikuba wekala pa cipuna cinso cakendi calikubeketi mabwe akute kukwiweti Yasipi ne Kolinali. Ico cipuna calikuba cashingulukwa ne nkongolo yabeketi mabwe akute kukwiweti Emalodi.
4 Kwakulezinye izihlalo zobukhosi ezingamatshumi amabili lane ezazizingelezele isihlalo sobukhosi leso, kuzo kuhlezi abadala abangamatshumi amabili lane. Babegqoke okumhlophe njalo belemiqhele yegolide emakhanda abo.
Cipuna cabwami ico calikuba cashingulukwa nebipuna nabimbi makumi abili ne bina apo palikuba pekala bamakulene bali makumi abili ne bana bafwala minjila ituba ne ngowani sha bwami.
5 Esihlalweni sobukhosi kwaba lokuphazima kombane, lokundindizela kanye lokukhwaza kwezulu. Phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi kwakuvutha izibane eziyisikhombisa. Lezi zazingomoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu.
Kubyasha kwali kufuma ku cipuna, nako kwilu kwalatatala ne kukunkuma. Pantangu pa cipuna palikuba malampi asanu ne abili alikubangila, iyi emishimu isanu ne ibili ikute kusebensela Lesa.
6 Phambi kwesihlalo futhi kwakulokungani lulwandle lwengilazi, kucwebezela njengelitshe elikhazimulayo. Phakathi, emaceleni wonke esihlalo sobukhosi, kwakulezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, zilamehlo phambili langemuva.
Kayi pantangu pa cipuna palikuboneketi lwenje lwabeketi gilasi lwalikubangileti libwe likute kukwiweti Kulistali. Pakati kati kushinguluka cipuna ca bwami cisa, palikuba bya buyumi bina byalikukute menso angi kuntangu ne kunyuma.
7 Isidalwa sakuqala esiphilayo sasinjengesilwane, esesibili sinjengenkabi, esesithathu sasilobuso obunjengobomuntu, esesine sasinjengokhozi oluphaphayo.
Cabuyumi cakutanguna calikuboneketi inkalamu, catubili eti ng'ombe, cabutatu calikukute cinso cilyeti muntu, kayi ca cina calikuboneketi cikumbula laulukunga mwilu.
8 Esinye lesinye salezozidalwa eziphilayo sasilempiko eziyisithupha njalo sigcwele amehlo amacele wonke, kanye langaphansi kwempiko. Emini lebusuku kazizange zithule ukuthi:
Cili conse ca bya buyumi bina ibi, calikukute mapepe asanu ne limo alikukute menso paliponse mukati ne kunsa. Munshi ne mashiku kwakubula kulekesha bikute kabimbileti, “Waswepa, waswepa, waswepa ni Mwami Lesa wa Ngofu shonse, ewalikubako, euliko kayi elesanga.”
9 Kuthi lapho izidalwa eziphilayo zimdumisa, zimhlonipha njalo zimbonga lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi njalo ophila kuze kube nininini, (aiōn g165)
Bya buyumi ibi bina, bikute kwimbila nyimbo shabulemeneno shakulemekesha kayi ne kulumbanya uyo wekala pa cipuna muyumi kwamuyayaya. (aiōn g165)
10 abadala abangamatshumi amabili lane bawela phansi phambi kwakhe ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, bamkhonza yena ophila kuze kube nininini. Babeka imiqhele yabo phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi bathi: (aiōn g165)
Mpobyalikwimbila, bamakulene makumi abili ne bana, balawa panshi pantangu pa uyo wekala pa cipuna ne kumukambilila, uyo ukute buyumi bwamuyayaya. Kabawala ngowani shabo pantangu pa cipuna ca bwami kabambeti, (aiōn g165)
11 “Ufanele, Nkosi yethu loNkulunkulu wethu, ukwamukela udumo lenhlonipho kanye lamandla, ngoba wena wadala izinto zonke, njalo zadalwa ngentando yakho, njalo zilabo ubukhona bazo.”
“O Mwami Lesa wetu! Mwelela kupewa bulemeneno kulemekeshewa ne kushikayishiwa cebo ca ngofu shenu, Pakwinga mwalabumba bintu byonse, Kayi cebo ca kuyanda kwenu byonse mpobili ni biyumi.”
