Isambulo 8
1 Lapho selivule uphawu lwesikhombisa, kwaba khona ukuthula ezulwini okungaba yingxenye yehola.
Mwana Mbelele mpwalakumatula cidindo ca cisanu ne cibili, kwilu konse kwalamwena tonto kwa cintimbi ca ola.
2 Ngasengibona ingilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu, njalo kwanikelwa kizo impondo eziyisikhombisa.
Ndalabona kayi bangelo basanu ne babili bemana pantangu pa Lesa kabapewa matolompita asanu ne abili.
3 Kwasekufika enye ingilosi, yasisima elathini, ilomganu wegolide wokutshisela impepha, yasiphiwa impepha enengi, ukuze iyinikele lemikhuleko yabo bonke abangcwele phezu kwelathi legolide eliphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi.
Mungelo naumbi walesa kwimana pa nteme kakute cakutentelamo lubani, walapewa lubani lwinji kusankanya pa mipailo ya bantu ba Lesa, ne kwitwala pa nteme ya golide ili pantangu pa Cipuna ca Bwami.
4 Lentuthu yempepha yenyuka lemikhuleko yabangcwele esandleni sengilosi phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Bwishi bwa lubani lwalikutentwa lwalasankana pamo ne mipailo ya bantu ba Lesa kufuma mu makasa a mungelo walikuba wemana pantangu pa Lesa.
5 Ingilosi yasithatha umganu wokutshisela impepha, yasiwugcwalisa ngomlilo welathi, yasiwuphosela emhlabeni; kwasekusiba khona amazwi lemidumo lemibane lokuzamazama komhlaba.
Lino mungelo walamanta cakutentelamo lubani ne kucisusha makalangasha a mulilo wa panteme ne kwawala pa cishi ca panshi. Palaboneka kutatala ne kubyasha byasha ne mutuntumo wa inshi.
6 Kwathi ingilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilempondo eziyisikhombisa zazilungiselela ukuze zizikhalise.
Bangelo basa basanu ne babili balikukute matolompita asanu ne abili balalibambileti batatike kwalilisha.
7 Ingilosi yokuqala yasilukhalisa uphondo, kwasekusiba khona isiqhotho lomlilo kuhlanganiswe legazi, kwasekuphoselwa emhlabeni; lengxenye yesithathu yezihlahla yatshiswa, labo bonke utshani obuluhlaza batshiswa.
Mungelo wakutanguna walalilisha tolompita yakendi. Imfula ya mabwe ne mulilo wasankana ne milopa yalapomokela pa cishi ca panshi. Mbasu shitatu sha cishi ca panshi, mbasu shitatu sha bitondo, kayi ne mila yamwemfu yonse yalapya.
8 Ingilosi yesibili yasilukhalisa uphondo; kwasekuphoselwa olwandle okunjengentaba enkulu evutha umlilo. Lengxenye yesithathu yolwandle yaba ligazi;
Mungelo watubili walalilisha tolompita yakendi. Cintu calikuboneketi mulundu unene walikupya mulilo walawalwa mu lwenje. Mbasu shitatu sha lwenje shalasanduka milopa,
9 kwasekusifa ingxenye yesithathu yezidalwa eziselwandle ezilempilo, lengxenye yesithathu yemikhumbi yachithwa.
mbasu shitatu sha byabuyumi byalafwila mu lwenje, mbasu shitatu sha mato anene shalapasauka.
10 Ingilosi yesithathu yasilukhalisa uphondo, kwasekusiwa ezulwini inkanyezi enkulu ibhebha njengesibane, yasiwela phezu kwengxenye yesithathu yemifula, laphezu kwemithombo yamanzi.
Mungelo wa citatu walalilisha tolompita yakendi. Lunyenyenshi lunene lwalikuboneketi lampi lwalalaka kwilu. Lwalalakila pa mbasu shitatu sha milonga ne pa tusensa twa menshi.
11 Lebizo lenkanyezi lalithiwa nguMhlonyane; lengxenye yesithathu yamanzi yaba ngumhlonyane, labantu abanengi bafa ngamanzi, ngoba ayenziwe ababa.
Lina lya lunyenyenshi ulu ni “Kulula”. Mbasu shitatu sha menshi shalalula, bantu bangi balanwa menshi balafwa pakwinga alalula.
12 Ingilosi yesine yasilukhalisa uphondo, kwasekutshaywa ingxenye yesithathu yelanga lengxenye yesithathu yenyanga lengxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi, ukuze kufiphazwe ingxenye yesithathu yazo, lengxenye yesithathu yemini ingakhanyi, lobusuku ngokunjalo.
Mungelo wa cina walalilisha tolompita yakendi. Mbasu shitatu sha lisuba, mwenshi ne nyenyenshi byonse byalafwa cakwinseti byalalilwa kumunikila mbasu shitatu sha cindi. Nkakwalaba lumwi mu mbasu shitatu sha cindi ca munshi, kayi mbasu shitatu sha cindi ca mashiku.
13 Ngasengibona, ngasengisizwa ingilosi eyodwa iphapha phakathi laphakathi kwezulu, isithi ngelizwi elikhulu: Maye, maye, maye kulabo abakhileyo emhlabeni, kumazwi aseleyo empondo zengilosi ezintathu esezizakhala!
Kandicilangishisha, ndalabona ne kunyumfwa cikumbula walikuluka mwilu mu mulenga lenga kompololeti, “Malele! Malele! Malele ku bantu bekala pa cishi ca panshi cebo ca bangelo batatu batana balilisha matolompita abo!”
