3 Nekutsi ngikuBabe, naBabe ukimi, futsi Babe nami simunye—
4 Babe ukimi ngoba wanginika kuphelela kwakhe, futsi ngiyiNdvodzana ngoba ngangisemhlabeni ngenta inyama umtimba wami, ngahlala emkhatsini wemadvodzana ebantfu.
5 Ngangisemhlabeni futsi ngatfola kuBabe, nemisebenti yakhe yembulwa ngalokusobala.
6 Futsi Johane wabona waphindze wafakaza ngekuphelela kwenkhatimulo yami, nekuphelela kwebufakazi baJohane kusatawukwembulwa emvakwalesi sikhatsi.
7 Futsi wafakaza, watsi: Ngayibona inkhatimulo yakhe, kutsi bekakhona ekucaleni, umhlaba usengakadalwa;
8 Ngako-ke, ekucaleni Livi abevele akhona, ngoba bekanguLivi, ngisho sitfunywa sensindziso—
9 Kukhanya neMhlengi wemhlaba; Moya weliciniso, loweta emhlabeni, ngoba umhlaba wentiwa nguye, futsi kuye bekukhona kuphila kwebantfu nekukhanya kwebantfu.
10 Imihlaba yentiwa nguye; bantfu bentiwa nguye; tonkhe tintfo tadalwa [tentiwa] nguye, futsi ngaye, nangemasu akhe.
11 Futsi mine, Johane, ngiyafakaza kutsi ngabona inkhatimulo yakhe, njengenkhatimulo yaLotelwe Yedvwa kuBabe, logcwele umusa neliciniso, ngisho Moya weliciniso, loweta watawuhlala enyameni, [futsi] wahlala emkhatsini wetfu.
12 Futsi mine, Johane, ngabona kutsi akakutfolanga kuphelela ekucaleni, kodvwa watfola umusa ngenca yemusa;
13 Futsi akakutfolanga kuphelela ekucaleni, kodvwa waphikelela wandza ngemusa, wate wakutfola kuphelela;
14 Ngaloko-ke wabitwa ngeNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu, ngoba akakutfolanga kuphelela ekucaleni.
15 Futsi mine, Johane, ngiyafakaza, buka, emazulu avuleka, Moya loNgcwele wehlela etikwakhe asesimeni selituba wahlala etikwakhe, kwase kuvakala livi liphuma ezulwini litsi: Lena yiNdvodzana yami letsandzekako.
16 Futsi mine, Johane, ngiyafakaza kutsi watfola kuphelela kwenkhatimulo yaBabe;
17 Waphindze watfola onkhe emandla, ezulwini nasemhlabeni, futsi inkhatimulo yaBabe beyinaye, ngoba bekahlala kuye.
18 Futsi kuyawukwenteka, kutsi uma netsembekile niyawutfola lophelele umbhalo waJohane.
19 Ngininika lamavi kute nicondze futsi nati kutsi kukhontwa kanjani, niphindze nati kutsi nikhontani, kute nite kuBabe egameni lami, futsi ngesikhatsi lesifanele nitfole kuphelela kwakhe.
20 Ngoba uma nigcina imiyaleto yami niyawukutfola kuphelela kwakhe, nikhatimuliswe kimi njengami kuBabe; ngako-ke, ngitsi kini, niyawutfola umusa ngenca yemusa.
21 Manje, ngicinisile ngitsi kini, ngangikhona ekucaleni naBabe, futsi ngiLitubulo;
22 Futsi bonkhe labo labatalwe ngami babahlanganyeli kuyo inkhatimulo lefanako, futsi balibandla leLitubulo.
23 Nani nanikhona ekucaleni naBabe, loko lokunguMoya, ngisho Moya weliciniso;
24 Futsi liciniso lwati lwetintfo njengoba tinjalo, nanjengoba tatinjalo, nanjengoba tiyawubanjalo;
25 Futsi noma ngayini leyendlula loku ingumoya walomubi lobekangumcambi manga kwasekucaleni.
26 Moya weliciniso ngewaNkulunkulu. NginguMoya weliciniso, futsi naJohane wafakaza ngami, watsi: Watfola kuphelela kweliciniso, yebo, ngisho liciniso lonkhe;
27 Futsi kute umuntfu lotfola kuphelela ngaphandle kwekutsi agcine imiyaleto yakhe.
28 Loyo logcina imiyaleto yakhe utfola liciniso nekukhanya, ate akhatimuliswe ecinisweni futsi ati tonkhe tintfo.
29 Umuntfu naye bekanaNkulunkulu ekucaleni. Kwati, noma kukhanya kweliciniso, akutange kudalwe noma kwentiwe, futsi ngempela angeke kube njalo.
30 Lonkhe liciniso litimele kuleyondzawo Nkulunkulu lalibeke kuyo, kute litentele, njengako konkhe kwati nako kutimele kutsi kutentele, kungenjalo kute kubakhona.
31 Bukani, kuloku kukhona lilungelo lekutikhetsela lemuntfu, futsi kuloku kukhona kulahlwa kwemuntfu; ngoba loko lokwakukhona ekucaleni kwembulwe ngalokusobala kubo, abakwemukeli kukhanya.
32 Futsi wonkhe umuntfu umoya wakhe longakwemukeli kukhanya ungephansi kwekulahlwa.
33 Ngoba umuntfu ungumoya. Imvelo ingunaphakadze, futsi umoya nemvelo, kuhlangene ngalokungenakuhlukaniswa, kutfola kuphelela kwenjabulo.
34 Futsi uma kwehlukene, umuntfu angeke akwati kutfola kuphelela kwenjabulo.
35 Imvelo ilikhaya laNkulunkulu; yebo, umuntfu ulikhaya laNkulunkulu, ngisho emathempeli; futsi noma nguliphi lithempeli lelingcolisiwe, Nkulunkulu uyawulibhidlita lelo thempeli.
36 Inkhatimulo yaNkulunkulu kwati, noma, ngalamanye emagama, kukhanya neliciniso.
37 Kukhanya neliciniso kuyamshiya loyo lomubi.
38 Umoya wawo wonkhe umuntfu wawungenacala ekucaleni; futsi Nkulunkulu asamhlengile umuntfu ekuweni, bantfu baphindza futsi, esimeni sebuntfwana babo, baba msulwa phambi kwaNkulunkulu.
39 Futsi loyo lomubi ufika atsatse kukhanya neliciniso, ngekungalaleli, kubantfwana bebantfu, nangenca yelisiko labokhokho babo.
40 Kodvwa nginiyalete kutsi nikhulise bantfwana benu ngekukhanya nangeliciniso.
41 Kodvwa ngicinisile ngitsi kuwe, nceku yami Frederick G. Williams, uchubekile ngaphansi kwaloku kulahlwa.

48 Umndeni wakho kufanele uphendvuke ushiye letinye tintfo letitsite, unake ngekucophelela emavi akho, kungenjalo batawususwa endzaweni yabo.
49 Lengikusho kumunye ngikusho kubo bonkhe; thandazani njalo funa loyo lomubi abe nemandla kini, futsi anisuse endzaweni yenu.
