23“Wase utsi: ‘Lesilo sesine ngumbuso wesine loyawuvela emhlabeni. Uyawukwehluka kuyo yonkhe leminye imibuso, futsi uyawushwabudzela wonkhe umhlaba, uwugcobagcobe phansi uwufihlite. 24Letimphondvo letilishumi ngemakhosi lalishumi layawuvela kulombuso. Emvakwawo kuyawuvela lenye inkhosi leyakwehluka kulawa lamanye akucala; iyawutfobisa emakhosi lamatsatfu. 25Iyawukhuluma ihlambalate Longetulu Kwako Konkhe, icindzetele labangcwele bakhe, yetame kugucula tikhatsi temikhosi lemisiwe nemitsetfo. Labangcwele bayawunikelwa kuyo kube sikhashana, netikhatsi, nencenye yesikhatsi.
26“ ‘Kodvwa behluleli bayawuhlala, lenkhosi iyakwemukwa emandla ayo ekubusa, icitfwe kokuphela. 27Lapho-ke kubusa, nemandla, nebukhulu bemibuso yonkhe lengaphansi kwelizulu, kuyawunikelwa etandleni talabangcwele, sive saLongetulu Kwako Konkhe. Umbuso wakhe kuyawuba ngumbuso waphakadze naphakadze, bonkhe babusi bayawukhotsama kuye bamkhonte, bamlalele.’
