Izingelosi eziyisikhombisa nezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina

1 Ngase ngibona esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini esikhulu nesimangalisayo: izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zinezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, ngokuba kwapheleliswa ngazo ulaka lukaNkulunkulu.

2 Ngabona kungathi ulwandle lwengilazi luxubene nomlilo, nabavela ekunqobeni isilo nomfanekiso waso nesibalo segama laso bemi ngaselwandle lwengilazi, benamahabhu* kaNkulunkulu.

3 Bahlabelela igama likaMose inceku kaNkulunkulu negama leWundlu, bathi:

“Mikhulu, iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho,

Nkosi Nkulunkulu, Mninimandla onke;

zilungile, ziqinisile izindlela zakho

wena Nkosi yezizwe;

4 ngubani ongayikwesaba, Nkosi,

adumise igama lakho, na?

Ngokuba wena wedwa ungcwele,

nezizwe zonke ziyakuza

zikhuleke phambi kwakho,

ngokuba izenzo zakho zokulunga

zibonakalisiwe.”

5 Emva kwalokho ngabona, kwase kuvulwa ithempeli letabernakele* lobufakazi ezulwini,

6 kwaphuma ethempelini izingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezinezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa, zembethe ingubo yelineni ehlanzekileyo nekhazimulayo, zizibophe ezifubeni ngamabhande* egolide.

7 Esinye sezidalwa ezine sanika izingelosi eziyisikhombisa izitsha zegolide, zigcwele ulaka lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade.

8 Ithempeli lagcwala umusi ovela ekukhazimuleni kukaNkulunkulu nasemandleni akhe; akakho owayengangena ethempelini, zingakapheleli izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zezingelosi eziyisikhombisa.
