ISambulo KuJohane 10:1-11
10 Ngasengibona enye ingilosi elamandla isehla ivela ezulwini yembethe iyezi* njalo ekhanda layo kwakulomchilowamakhosikazi. Ubuso bayo babunjengelanga+ lenyawo zayo zinjengezinsika zomlilo
2 futhi esandleni yayiphethe incwadimgoqwa encane eyayivuliwe. Yabeka unyawo lwayo lwesokudla elwandle, olwenxele yalubeka emhlabathini
3 yasimemeza ngelizwi elikhulu kwangathi yisilwane esibhongayo.+ Yathi imemeza ngezwa amazwi emidumo yezulu+ eyisikhombisa.
4 Imidumo yezulu eyisikhombisa yakhuluma, ngasengisithi kahle ngibhale kodwa ngezwa ilizwi livela ezulwini+ lisithi: “Zivale ngophawu izinto ezikhulunywe yimidumo yezulu eyisikhombisa njalo ungazibhali.”
5 Ingilosi engayibona imi elwandle lasemhlabathini yaphakamisela isandla sayo sokudla ezulwini,
6 yafunga ngalowo ophila kuze kube nini lanini+ owadala izulu lezinto ezikulo, lomhlaba lezinto ezikuwo kanye lolwandle lezinto ezikulo,+ yathi: “Akusoze kube kusaphuza.
7 Kodwa ngensuku ingilosi yesikhombisa+ isizatshaya icilongo layo,+ imfihlo engcwele+ yezindaba ezinhle uNkulunkulu ayezitshela izinceku zakhe ezingabaphrofethi+ izagcwaliseka loba sekutheni.”
8 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi elivela ezulwini+ likhuluma lami futhi, lisithi: “Hamba uyethatha incwadimgoqwa evuliweyo esesandleni sengilosi emi elwandle lasemhlabathini.”+
9 Ngaya engilosini ngayitshela ukuthi ingiphe leyoncwadimgoqwa encane. Yona yathi kimi: “Yithathe uyidle,+ emlonyeni wakho izabe imnandi njengoluju kodwa izakwenza isisu sakho sibe buhlungu.”*
10 Ngayithatha incwadimgoqwa encane eyayisesandleni sengilosi ngayidla.+ Emlonyeni yayimnandi njengoluju+ kodwa ngathi sengiyidlile isisu sami saba buhlungu.*
11 Basebesithi kimi: “Kumele uphinde uphrofethe ngabantu, langezizwe, langezindimi, langamakhosi amanengi.”
