Imimoya Emine Ebanjelweyo
Phambi kokuba ingozi iqhubeke, izithunywa ezine zibamba imimoya, logama abakhonzi bakaBawo wethu betywinwa. Kuze isihlwele esikhulu esingenakubalwa, esivela kuzo zonke iilwimi, esiphuma embandezelweni enkulu. Elinye idoda elikhulu liyasicacisa: asisayi kuphinda silambe, nazo zonke iinyembezi zisuliwe.
7 1Emva koko ndabona izithunywa ezine zema kwiimbombo zone zehlabathi, zibambe imimoya yalo emine ukuze kungabikho moya ovuthelayo emhlabeni, naselwandle, nakuwuphi na umthi. 2Ndaza ndabona esinye isithunywa sinyuke sivela empumalanga, siphethe itywina likaBawo wethu ophilileyo. Samemeza ngezwi elikhulu kwezo zithunywa zine ezaziphiwe igunya lokonakalisa umhlaba nolwandle, 3sisithi: “Ningawonakalisi umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi, side sibatywine abakhonzi bakaBawo wethu emabunzini abo.” 4Ndaliva inani labo batywiniweyo: lalilikhulu elinamashumi amane anamane amawaka, betywinwe kuzo zonke izizwe zoonyana bakaSirayeli. a a v4 Inani elingamakhulu amane anamashumi amane anamane amawaka — amawaka alishumi elinamabini kwisizwe ngasinye kwizizwe ezilishumi elinazibini — lingumfuziselo wokugqibelela, limela bonke abantu bakaBawo wethu, hayi inani lamntu elibaliweyo. 5Kwisizwe sakwaYuda kwatywinwa amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaRubhen amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaGadi amawaka alishumi elinamabini, 6kwisizwe sakwa-Ashere amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaNafetali amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaManase amawaka alishumi elinamabini, 7kwisizwe sakwaSimon amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaLevi amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaIsakare amawaka alishumi elinamabini, 8kwisizwe sakwaZebhulon amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaYosefu amawaka alishumi elinamabini, kwisizwe sakwaBhenjamin kwatywinwa amawaka alishumi elinamabini.
Isihlwele Ekungekho Bani Unokusibala
9Emva koko ndabona isihlwele esikhulu ekungekho bani unokusibala, sivela kweentlanga zonke, nezizwe, nabantu, neelwimi, simi phambi kwetrone naphambi kwiMvana, sambethe iingubo ezimhlophe, siphethe amasebe esundu ezandleni. 10Samemeza ngezwi elikhulu, sisithi: “Usindiso lolukaBawo wethu, ohleli etroneni, nolweMvana!”
11Zonke izithunywa zema ngeenxa zonke zijikeleze itrone namadoda amakhulu nezidalwa ezine eziphilileyo, zaza zawa ngobuso phambi kwetrone, zaqubuda kuBawo wethu, 12zisithi: “Amen! Intsikelelo, nozuko, nobulumko, nombulelo, nembeko, namandla, nokomelela makube kuBawo wethu ngonaphakade kanaphakade! Amen.”
13Laza elinye kumadoda amakhulu landibuza, lisithi: “Aba bambethe iingubo ezimhlophe—ngoobani na, bavela phi na?”
14Ndathi: “Nkosi yam, nguwe owaziyo.” Lathi kum: “Aba bavela embandezelweni enkulu; bazihlamba iingubo zabo, bazenza mhlophe egazini leMvana.”
15Kungoko bephambi kwetrone kaBawo wethu, bemkhonza imini nobusuku etempileni yakhe; lowo uhleli etroneni uya kuba sisithe phezu kwabo. 16Abasayi kuba salamba, bengasayi kuba sanxanwa; ilanga aliyi kubatshisa, nabushushu nabuphi na obunesondululu. 17Kuba iMvana esesazulwini setrone iya kuba ngumalusi wabo, ize ibakhokelele emithonjeni yamanzi obomi; uBawo wethu aza kuzisula zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo. b b v17 UBawo wethu ngokwakhe — hayi isithunywa, hayi umkhonzi — uzisula iinyembezi emehlweni abantwana bakhe.
