Sadanduluka ngezwi elikhulu: kuzo izithunywa zezulu zozine, ezanikwa igunya lokuwonakalisa umhlaba nolwandle,3 sisithi, Musani ukuwona umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi, side sibatywine abakhonzi boThixo wethu emabunzini abo.4 Ndaliva inani labo babetywiniwe: kwatywinwa ikhulu elinamanci mane anesine lamawaka, kuzo zonke izizwe zoonyana bakaSirayeli.5 Esizweni sakwaYuda kwatywinwa ishumi elinambini lamawaka.

13 Yaphendula enye indoda enkulu, isithi kum, Aba bathiwe wambu ngeengubo ezinde ezimhlophe bangoobani na? bevela phi na?14 Ndithi kuyo, Nkosi, nguwe owaziyo. Yathi kum, Aba ngabaphumayo embandezelweni enkulu, bazihlamba iingubo zabo ezinde, bazenza mhlophe egazini leMvana.15 Ngenxa yoko baphambi kwetrone kaThixo, bemkhonza imini nobusuku etempileni yakhe; nalowo uhleli phezu kwetrone uya kuba ngumnquba phezu kwabo.16 Abayi kuba salamba, abayi kuba sanxanwa; aliyi kubawela nelanga, nabunye ubushushu;17 ngokuba iMvana esesazulwini setrone iya kubalusa, ibakhokelele emithonjeni ephilileyo yamanzi; waye uThixo eya kuzisula iinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo.
