22 Futhi phezu kwalokho, akekho umbhishobhi noma umphristi omkhulu oyohlukaniselwa kulesi sikhundla oyoquliswa noma oyobekwa noma yiliphi icala, ngaphandle uma kungaphambi kobu aMongameli bokuQala bebandla;
23 Futhi ngangoba etholwa enecala phambi kwalobu buMongameli, ngobufakazi obungeke buphikiseke, uyobekwa icala;
24 Futhi uma ephenduka auyoxolelwa, ngokwezivumelwano nemiyalelo yebandla.
25 Futhi phezu kwalokho, kangangoba aabazali benabantwana eSiyoni, noma kuziphi bizikhonkwane zayo ezihleliwe, abangaba cfundisi ukuba bayiqonde imfundiso yokuphenduka, ukukholwa kuKristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, nokubhabhadiswa futhi nesipho soMoya oNgcwele ngokubekwa izandla, uma dsebeneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ubudala, eisono masibe phezu kwamakhanda abazali.
26 Ngokuba lokhu kuyoba umthetho kubantu base aSiyoni, noma kunanoma kuziphi izikhonkwane zakhe ezihleliwe.
27 Futhi abantwana babo abayobhabhadiswa ukuze bkuthethelelwe izono zabo uma csebeneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ubudala, futhi bafumane ukubekwa izandla.
28 Futhi bayofundisa abantwana babo ukuba abakukhuleka, futhi nokuhamba ngobuqotho phambi kweNkosi.
29 Futhi abantu baseSiyoni bayogcina ausuku lweSabatha balugcine lungcwele.
30 Futhi abantu baseSiyoni bayoyikhumbula imisebenzi yabo, kangangoba bebekwe ukuba basebenze, kukho konke ukuthembeka; ngokuba ivila liyokhunjulwa phambi kweNkosi.
