IsAmbulo Esiya KuJwanisi 8:1-13
8 Nayivula+ itshwayo lekhomba,+ kwathula kwathi du ezulwini pheze isiquntu se-iri.
2 Ngabona iingilozi ezilikhomba+ ezijama phambi kwakaZimu, zanikelwa iimbhorompita ezilikhomba.
3 Kwafika enye ingilozi yajama e-aldareni+ iphethe isitja sepepho segolide, yanikelwa nepepho enengi+ bona iyinikele kunye nemithandazo yabo boke abacwengileko e-aldareni legolide+ ebeliphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi.
4 Intuthu yepepho esesandleni sengilozi yakhuphuka kunye nemithandazo+ yabacwengileko phambi kwakaZimu.
5 Khonokho ingilozi yathatha isitja sepepho, yasizalisa ngomunye umlilo we-aldareni yasiphosela ephasini. Kwaba nokuduma kwezulu, amezwi, ukuphazima kombani+ nokusikinyeka kwephasi.
6 Iingilozi ezilikhomba eziphethe iimbhorompita ezilikhomba+ zalungela ukuzibetha.
7 Yokuthoma yabetha ibhorompitayo. Kwaba nesinanja nomlilo ovangwe neengazi, kwaphoselwa ephasini+ nengcenye yesithathu yephasi yatjhiswa, nengcenye yesithathu yemithi yatjhiswa nazo zoke iintjalo ezihlaza zatjhiswa.+
8 Ingilozi yesibili yabetha ibhorompitayo. Okuthileko okunjengentaba ekulu evutha umlilo kwaphoselwa elwandle.+ Ingcenye yesithathu yelwandle yaba ziingazi+
9 nengcenye yesithathu yeembunjwa eziphilako elwandle yafa+ nengcenye yesithathu yemikhumbi yaphahlazeka.
10 Ingilozi yesithathu yabetha ibhorompitayo. Ikwekwezi ekulu evutha njengesibani yawa ivela ezulwini, yawela engcenyeni yesithathu yemilambo nemithonjeni yamanzi.+
11 Igama lekwekwezi leyo yiNghana. Ingcenye yesithathu yamanzi yaphenduka yaba yinghana, abantu abanengi babulawa mamanzi lawo ngombana bekenziwe ababa.+
12 Ingilozi yesine yabetha ibhorompitayo. Ingcenye yesithathu yelanga yabetjhwa+ nengcenye yesithathu yenyanga nengcenye yesithathu yeenkwekwezi ukuthi ingcenye yesithathu yakho yenziwe ibe mnyama+ nemini ingabi nokukhanya ingcenye yesithathu yayo nobusuku ngendlela efanako.
13 Ngabona begodu ngezwa ikhozi liphapha emkayini litjho ngelizwi elikhulu lithi: “Maye! Maye! Maye!+ Kilabo abahlala ephasini ngebanga lokhunye ukulila kweembhorompita zeengilozi ezintathu esele zizokubetha iimbhorompita zazo.”+
