9Pambuyo pa izi ndinaona gulu lalikulu la anthu limene palibe amene akanatha kuliwerenga, ochokera ku mtundu uliwonse, fuko lililonse, anthu onse, ndi chinenero chilichonse, atayima pamaso pa mpando wachifumu ndi pamaso pa Mwanawankhosa, atavala mikanjo yoyera, ali ndi nthambi za kanjedza m'manja. 10Iwo anafuwula mokweza, “Chipulumutso ndi cha Atate wathu, amene wakhala pa mpando wachifumu, ndi cha Mwanawankhosa!”
11Angelo onse anayima mozungulira mpando wachifumu, ndi akulu aja, ndi zamoyo zinayi zija, ndipo anagwa chafufumimba pamaso pa mpando wachifumu nalambira Atate wathu, 12nati, “Ameni! Madalitso, ulemerero, nzeru, kuyamika, ulemu, mphamvu, ndi nyonga zikhale kwa Atate wathu ku nthawi za nthawi! Ameni.”
13Ndipo mmodzi wa akulu aja anandifunsa, nati, “Awa ovala mikanjo yoyera, ndi ndani iwo, ndipo achokera kuti?”
14Ndinati, “Mbuye wanga, inu mukudziwa.” Iye anati, “Awa achokera ku chisautso chachikulu; iwo anachapa mikanjo yawo, nayiyeretsa m'magazi a Mwanawankhosa.”
15Nchifukwa chake ali pamaso pa mpando wachifumu wa Atate wathu, akumutumikira usana ndi usiku m'kachisi wake; ndipo wokhala pa mpando wachifumu adzawaphimba. 16Iwo sadzamvanso njala, ngakhalenso ludzu; dzuwa silidzawawotcha, kapena kutentha kulikonse. 17Pakuti Mwanawankhosa amene ali pakati pa mpando wachifumu adzawaweta, ndipo adzawatsogolera ku akasupe a madzi a moyo; ndipo Atate wathu adzapukuta misozi yonse m'maso mwawo. b b v17 Atate wathu mwini — osati mngelo, osati wantchito — ndiye amapukuta misozi m'maso mwa ana ake.
