1 Lalela izwi likaJesu Kristu, umHlengi wenu, oMkhulu ^aungiNguye, ongalo yakhe ^byobubele ^cizihlawulele izono zenu;

2 ^aOyoqoqa abantu bakhe njengesikhukhukazi siqoqa amachwane aso ngaphansi kwamaphiko aso, ngisho abaningi abazolalela izwi lami futhi ^bbazithobe phambi kwami, futhi bangibize ngomkhuleko onamandla.

3 Bhekani, ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini, ngalesi sikhathi izono zenu ^azixolelwe, ngakho-ke nithola lezi zinto; kodwa khumbulani ningabe nisona futhi, funa nehlelwe yizingozi.

4 Ngiqinisile, ngithi kini nikhethiwe emhlabeni ukushumayela ivangeli lami ngomsindo wenjabulo, ^anjengezwi lecilongo.

5 Phakamisani izinhliziyo zenu futhi nijabule, ngokuba ^angiphakathi kwenu, futhi ^bngingummeli wenu phambi kukaBaba; futhi kuyintando yakhe enhle ukuninika ^cumbuso.

6 Futhi, njengoba kulotshiwe—Noma yini eniyoyi ^acela ^bngokukholwa, ^cnimunye emkhulekweni njengokomyalelo wami, niyoyithola.

7 Futhi nibizelwe ukufeza ^aukubuthana ^bkwabakhethiweyo bami; ngokuba abakhethiweyo bami ^cbayalizwa izwi lami futhi abazenzi lukhuni ^dizinhliziyo zabo;

8 Ngalokho-ke isimemezelo siphumile kuBaba ukuthi ^abayoqoqelwa endaweni eyodwa ebusweni balelizwe, ukuze ^bbalungise izinhliziyo zabo futhi balungiselele zonke izinto ngosuku lapho ^cusizi nencithakalo sekuthunyelwa kwababi.

9 Ngokuba ihora selisondele nosuku seluseduze lapho umhlaba usuvuthiwe; futhi bonke ^aabaziqhenyayo nabo bonke abenza okubi bayoba njenge ^bzinhlanga; futhi ngizoba ^cshisa baphele, kusho iNkosi yamaBandla, ukuze ububi bungabi bikho emhlabeni;

10 Ngokuba ihora selisondele, futhi nalokho ^aokwakhulunywa ngabaphostoli bami kumele kugcwaliseke; ngokuba njengoba bakhuluma kuyokwenzeka kanjalo;

11 Ngokuba ngiyozambula ezulwini ngamandla nangenkazimulo enkulu, nalo lonke ^auquqaba lwakhona, futhi ngihlale ^bngokulunga nabantu emhlabeni ^ciminyaka eyinkulungwane, futhi ababi ngeke bame.

12 Futhi phezu kwalokho, ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini, futhi kuphume ngesimemezelo sokugcina, ngentando kaBaba, ukuthi ^aabaphostoli bami, abaliShumi namBili ababenami ebufundisini bami eJerusalema, bayoma ngakwesokudla sami ngosuku lokuza kwami ngensika ^byomlilo, bembathiswe ngezingubo zokulunga, benemiqhele phezu kwamakhanda abo, ^cbesenkazimulweni ngisho njengami, ukuze ^dbehlulele yonke indlu ka-Israyeli, ngisho abaningi abangithandile futhi bayigcina imiyalelo yami, futhi namunye omunye.

13 Ngokuba ^aicilongo liyokhala kade futhi kakhulu, ngisho njengaseNtabeni iSinayi, futhi wonke umhlaba uyozamazama, futhi ^bbayophuma—yebo, ngisho ^cabafileyo abafela kimi, ukuzozuza ^dumqhele wokulunga futhi nokugqokiswa, ^engisho njengami, ukuze babe nami, ukuze sibe munye.

14 Kodwa, bhekani, ngithi kini ngaphambi kwalolu ^asuku olukhulu ^bilanga liyofiphazwa, futhi nenyanga iguqulwe ibe ligazi, futhi nezinkanyezi ziyowa zisuka ezulwini, futhi kuyoba ^cnezimpawu ezinkulu phezulu ezulwini nasemhlabeni ngaphansi;

15 Futhi kuyoba khona ukukhala ^anokulila phakathi koquqaba lonke lwabantu;

16 Futhi kuyoba khona ^aisichotho esikhulu esiyothunyelwa ukuzobulala zonke izitshalo zomhlaba.

17 Futhi kuyokwenzeka, ngenxa yobubi bomhlaba, ukuthi ngenze ^aimpindiselo ^bkwababi, ngokuba bayenqaba ukuphenduka; ngokuba isitsha sami sentukuthelo sigcwele; ngokuba bhekani, ^cigazi lami ngeke libahlanze uma bengangizwa.

18 Ngalokho-ke, mina iNkosi uNkulunkulu ngizothumela izimpukane ebusweni bomhlaba, eziyobamba bonke abantu bawo, futhi ziyokudla inyama yabo, futhi zidale ukuthi izimpethu zibahluphe;

19 Futhi izilimi zabo ziyobambeka ukuze bangakwazi ^aukukhuluma amazwi amelene nami; futhi inyama yabo iyolephuka isuka emathanjeni abo, futhi amehlo abo asuke ezingoxweni zawo;

20 Futhi kuyokwenzeka ukuthi ^aizilwane zasendle nezinyoni zezulu ziyobadla zibaqede.

21 Futhi ^anebandla elikhulu nelinengekile, ^beliyisifebe somhlaba wonke, liyophonswa phansi ^cngomlilo oqothulayo, njengoba kwashiwo ngomlomo kaHezekeli umphrofethi, owakhuluma ngalezi zinto, ezingakenzeki kodwa ngempela ^dokufanele zenzeke, njengoba ngiphila, ngokuba izinengiso ngeke zibuse.

22 Futhi phezu kwalokho, ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini uma ^aiminyaka eyinkulungwane isiphelile, futhi abantu sebeqala ukuphika uNkulunkulu wabo, ngaleso sikhathi ngiyowuhlenga umhlaba ^bokwesikhashana;

23 Futhi ^aukuphela kuyofika, futhi izulu nomhlaba kuyobhujiswa futhi ^bkudlule, futhi kuyoba khona izulu elisha ^cnomhlaba omusha.

24 Ngokuba zonke izinto ezindala ^aziyodlula, futhi zonke izinto ziyoba zintsha, ngisho izulu nomhlaba, nako konke ukugcwala kwawo, abantu nezilwane, izinyoni zezulu, nezinhlazi zolwandle;

25 Futhi ^aakukho nonwele olulodwa, nokuncane, okuyolahleka, ngokuba kuwumsebenzi wezandla zami.

26 Kodwa, bhekani, ngiqinisile ngithi kini, ngaphambi kokuba umhlaba udlule, ^auMikayeli, ^bingelosi yami enkulu, uyoshaya ^cicilongo lakhe, bese bonke abafileyo ^dbevuka, ngokuba amathuna abo ayovulwa, futhi ^ebayophuma—yebo, ngisho bonke.

27 Futhi ^aabalungileyo bayoqoqelwa ^bngasesandleni sami sokunene ukuya ekuphileni kwaphakade; futhi ababi abasesandleni sami sokunxele ngizoba namahloni ukuba nabo phambi kukaBaba;

28 Ngalokho-ke ngiyokuthi kubo—^aDedani kimi, nina eniqalekisiweyo, ningene ^bemlilweni waphakade olungiselwe ^cudeveli nezingelosi zakhe.

29 Manje, bhekani, ngithi kini, angikaze noma ngasiphi isikhathi ngasho ngomlomo wami ukuthi bayobuya, ngokuba ^alapho ngikhona ngeke beze, ngoba abanawo amandla.

30 Kodwa khumbulani ukuthi konke ukwahlulela kwami akwambuliwe kubantu; futhi njengoba amazwi esephumile emlonyeni wami kanjalo-ke ayogcwaliseka, futhi ^aabokuqala bayoba abokugcina, futhi nokuthi abokugcina babe abokuqala kuzo zonke izinto nanoma yini engayidalayo ngezwi lamandla ami, okungamandla oMoya wami.

31 Ngokuba ngamandla oMoya wami ^angazidala zona; yebo, zonke izinto kabili ^bngokomoya nangokwemvelo—

32 Kuqala ^angokomoya, okwesibili ngokwemvelo, okuwukuqala komsebenzi wami; futhi phezu kwalokho, kuqala ngokwemvelo, okwesibili, ngokomoya, okungokokugcina komsebenzi wami—

33 Ngikhuluma kini ukuze niqonde ngokwemvelo; kodwa kimi umsebenzi wami ^aawunasiphetho, futhi awunasiqalo, kodwa niphiwe kona ukuze niqonde, ngokuba nicelile kimi futhi nivumelene.

34 Ngalokho-ke, ngiqinisile ngithi kini zonke izinto zingezomoya kimi, futhi akukho sikhathi lapho ngake nganinika umthetho wasemhlabeni; akukho noyedwa umuntu, nabantwana babantu; noma u-Adamu, ubaba wenu, engamdalayo.

35 Bheka, ngamnikeza ukuba akwazi ^aukuzikhethela; futhi ngamnika umyalelo, kodwa angimnikanga myalelo wasemhlabeni, ngokuba eyami ^bimiyalelo ingeyomoya; ayiyona eyemvelo noma eyomhlaba, futhi ayiyona eyokunaka inyama noma eyokuthokozisa imizwa.

36 Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi u-Adamu, elingwa ngudeveli—ngokuba, bhekani, ^audeveli wabakhona kuqala kuno-Adamu, ngokuba ^bwangivukela, ethi, Nginike ^cudumo lwakho, ^dokungamandla ami; futhi phezu kwalokho ^eingxenye yesithathu ^fyoquqaba lwasezulwini wayenza yangilahla ngenxa ^gyelungelo labo lukukhetha;

37 Futhi baphonswa phansi, futhi wabakhona kanjalo-ke ^audeveli nezingelosi ^bzakhe;

38 Futhi, bhekani, kukhona indawo elungiselwe bona kusuka ekuqaleni, leyondawo ^ayisihogo.

39 Futhi udeveli kumele ^aabalinge abantwana babantu, noma ngeke bazikhethele ngokwabo; ngokuba uma bengeke bezwe ^bubuhlungu bebengeke babazi ubumnandi—

40 Ngalokho-ke, kwenzeka ukuthi udeveli wamlinga u-Adamu, futhi wasidla ^aisithelo ayengavunyelwe ukusidla futhi weqa umyalelo, ngalokho waba ^bngaphansi kwentando kadeveli, ngokuba wavumela isilingo.

41 Ngalokho-ke, mina, iNkosi uNkulunkulu, ngenza ukuba ^aakhishwe ngaphandle kweNsimu yase-^bEdene, lapho ngikhona, ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe, ngalokho waba ^cngofileyo ngokomoya, okungukufa kokuqala, ngisho lokho kufa okufanayo ^dokungukufa kokugcina, okungokomoya, okuyoshiwo kwababi lapho ngiyothi: Dedani, nina ^eeniqalekisiweyo.

42 Kodwa, bhekani, ngithi kini mina, iNkosi uNkulunkulu, ngamvumela u-Adamu futhi nenzalo yakhe, ukuthi ^abangafi ngokufa kwasemhlabeni, ngize mina, iNkosi uNkulunkulu, ngithumele ^bizingelosi zizokwazisa kubo ^cngokuphenduka ^dnangokuhlengwa, ngokukholwa egameni ^eleNdodana yami Ezelwe Yodwa.

43 Futhi ngenza kanjalo-ke mina, iNkosi uNkulunkulu, ukumisela umuntu ^aisikhathi sokuvivinywa—ukuze kuthi ngokufa kwakhe kwemvelo ^bavuselwe ^cesimweni sokungafi ^dnasekuphileni okuphakade, ngisho bebaningi kangakanani abakholwayo;

44 Futhi labo abangakholwayo bavuselwe ^ausizi nobuhlungu baphakade; ngokuba ngeke bahlengwe esimweni sokuwa ngokomoya, ngokuba abaphenduki;

45 Ngokuba bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, futhi ^anezenzo zabo zimbi, futhi bazuza ^binkokhelo yalowo abakhetha ukumthobela.

46 Kodwa bhekani, ngithi kini, ^aabantwana abancane ^bbahlengiwe selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba ngowami Ozelwe Yedwa;

47 Ngalokho-ke, ngeke bone, ngokuba amandla awanikiwe uSathane ^aukulinga abantwana abancane, kuze kube bakwazi ^bukuziphendulela phambi kwami;

48 Ngokuba kwambuliwe kubo ngokwentando yami, ngokuzikhethela kwami, ukuthi izinto ezinkulu zingadingeka ^akoyise.

49 Futhi, phezu kwalokho, ngithi kini, ubani othi enolwazi, engingamyalile ukuthi aphenduke na?

50 Futhi lowo ongenakho ^aukuqonda, kukimi ukuthi ngenze njengoba kulotshiwe. Manje angisazisi lutho olunye kini kulesi sikhathi. Amen.
