30 Ngokuba aiNkulungwane enkulu yemiNyaka, engikhulume ngayo ngomlomo wezinceku zami, iyofika.
31 Ngokuba auSathane buyoboshwa, futhi lapho esekhululiwe futhi uyobusa kuphela cokwesikhashana, bese kufika dukuphela komhlaba.
32 Futhi lowo ophila angokulunga buyoshintshwa ngokuphazima kweso, futhi umhlaba uyodlula kanjalo njengomlilo.
33 Futhi ababi bayohamba baye aemlilweni ongacimekiyo, futhi nesiphelo sabo akukho muntu osaziyo emhlabeni, noyoke asazi, baze bafike phambi kwami bekwahlulelweni.
34 Lalelani lamazwi. Bhekani, nginguJesu Kristu, aumSindisi womhlaba. bGcinani lezi zinto ezinhliziyweni zenu, futhi cisizotha sobuphakade dmasihlale eezingqondweni zenu.
