5 Njengomdala okunye nani, ufakazi wemitlhago kaKrestu nomhlanganyeli wephazimulo ezokwambulwa,+ ngenza nasi isibawo kubadala abahlangana nani: 2 Yelusani umhlambi kaZimu+ eniphathiswe wona bona niwutjheje, nibe batlhogomeli* ingasi ngokukatelelwa kodwana ngokuzithandela phambi kwakaZimu,+ ingasi ngethando lenzuzo yokungathembeki+ kodwana ngokuzimisela, 3 ningazenzi amakhosi phezu kwalabo abalilifa lakaZimu+ kodwana nibe ziimbonelo emhlanjini.+ 4 Kuzakuthi umelusi omkhulu+ nasele abonakalisiwe, nizokwamukela isihlohlo sephazimulo esingatjhwabiko.+

5 Ngendlela efanako, nina masokana zithobeni emadodeni amadala.*+ Noke mbathani ukuthobelana ngombana uZimu ulwisana nabazikhakhazisako kodwana abathobekileko ubanikela umusakhe omkhulu.+

6 Zithobeni ngaphasi kwesandla sakaZimu esinamandla bona aniphakamise ngesikhathi esifaneleko,+ 7 kukulapho niphosela koke okunitshwenyako kuye+ ngombana unendaba nani.+ 8 Hlalani niqaqulukile, phaphamani!+ Inaba lenu uDeveli, likhambakhamba njengebhubezi elibhodlako, lifuna umuntu elingamrhiribidela.+ 9 Kodwana lwisanani naye,+ niqine ekukholweni, nazi ukuthi yoke ihlangano yabafowenu ephasini iqalana nemitlhago efanako.+ 10 Ngemva kokuthi nitlhage isikhatjhana, uZimu womusa omkhulu woke, onibizele ephazimulwenakhe engapheliko+ ebunyeni noKrestu, uzokuqedelela ukubandulwa kwenu. Uzonenza niqine,+ uzonenza nibe namandla,+ uzonibeka esisekelweni esiqinileko. 11 Amandla awabe kuye ngokungapheliko. Amen.

12 NgoSilvanu,*+ engimthatha njengomfowethu othembekileko, nginitlolele amezwi ambalwa ukuthi nginikhuthaze bengininikele nobufakazi obuthembekileko bokuthi lo mumusa omkhulu wamambala kaZimu. Dzimelelani kiwo. 13 Umfazi oseBhabhiloni okhethiweko njengani uyanilotjhisa, ngokufanako noMarkosi+ indodanami. 14 Lotjhisanani ngokumangana kwethando.

Kwanga noke enisebunyeni noKrestu ningaba nokuthula.
