18 Maye kulelive lelinetilokatana letibhengutisa timphiko

Esifundzeni semifula yaseTopiya!+

 2 Litfumela titfunywa ngelwandle,

Tidzabula emantini ngetikebhe letakhiwe ngephaphira.* Lelive litsi:

“Hambani nine titfunywa letisheshisako,

Niye esiveni lesinebantfu labadze nalabanesikhumba lesibusheleleti,

Niye kubantfu labesatjwa kuyo yonkhe indzawo,+

Niye esiveni lesinemandla nalesincobako,*

Live laso likhukhulwa yimifula.”

 3 Nonkhe nine takhamuti talelive nani nonkhe nine lenihlala emhlabeni,

Lenikubonako kutawufana neluphawu loluphakanyisiwe etintsabeni,

Futsi nitawuva umsindvo lofana newekushaywa kweluphondvo.

“Ngitawuchubeka ngingaphazanyiswa futsi nginake indzawo yami lesimeme,

Njengekushisa lokukhulu lokuhambisana nekukhanya kwelilanga,

Njengelifu lematolo nakushisa ngesikhatsi sekuvuna.

 5 Ngobe ngaphambi kwekutsi kuvunwe,

Ngesikhatsi timbali seticedzile kuchakaza futsi imbali seyiligilebisi lelisavutfwa,

Emahlumela atawujutjwa ngetikelo tekutsena tihlahla

Nemliba utawujutjwa ususwe.

 6 Bonkhe batawusala babe kudla kwemangce asetintsabeni

Nekwetilwane tesiganga.

Lamangce atawucitsa sikhatsi sasehlobo kubo,

Futsi tonkhe tilwane tesiganga titawucitsa sikhatsi sekuvuna kubo.

 7 Ngaleso sikhatsi kuyawuletfwa sipho kuJehova wemabutfo,

Lesivela esiveni lesinebantfu labadze nalabanesikhumba lesibusheleleti,

Lesivela kubantfu labesatjwa kuyo yonkhe indzawo,

Lesivela esiveni lesinemandla nalesincobako*

Live laso likhukhulwa yimifula

Siye endzaweni lenelibito laJehova wemabutfo, iNtsaba iSiyoni.”+
