UJesu uyeza msinyana
6Ingilozi yathi kimi: “Amezwi la athembekile aliqiniso ngombana uSomnini uZimu wemimoya yabaphorofidi, wathumela ingilozi yakhe bona izokutjengisa iinceku zakhe lokho okuzokwenzeka msinyana.”
7“Yelelani, ngiyeza msinyana! Ubusisiwe loyo obulunga amezwi wesiphorofido sencwadi le.”
8Mina Jwanisi nginguye owezwako bewabona izintwezi. Kuthe lokha nangizizwako ngizibona, ngawela phasi eenyaweni zengilozi ebigade ingitjengisa zona, 9kodwana yona yathi kimi: “Ungakwenzi lokho! Ngiyinceku kanye nawe nabazalwana bakho, abaphorofidi kanye nalabo ababulunga amezwi wencwadi le. Yeke, lotjha kwaphela uZimu!”
10Yathi kimi: “Ungavali amezwi wencwadi yesiphorofido le ngombana isikhathi siseduze. 11Loyo owenza okukhohlakeleko akahlale enza okukhohlakeleko; kuthi osilapheleko ahlale angosilapheleko; kodwana olungileko akahlale enza ukulunga nocwengileko ahlale acwengile.”
12“Yelela, ngiyeza msinyana; ngiphethe umvuzo kobana ngikhokhele loyo naloyo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. 13Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, wokuthoma nowamaphelelo, iye, ukuthoma nokuphela.
14“Babusisiwe labo abahlanza izembatho zabo ukuze babe nelungelo emthini wokuphila, bangene emzini ngamasango. 15Ngaphandle kunezinja, abaloyi, iinhlobongi, ababulali, abalotjha iinthombe nabo boke abathanda nabenza ikohliso.
16“Ngimi mina Jesu engithumele ingilozi yami kini kobana izokufakaza ngezintwezi emabandleni. Ngimurabhu nomlibo kaDavida, ikhwezi lokusa elinyamazelako.”
17UMoya nomlobokazi bathi: “Yiza!”
Nozwako akatjho athi: “Yiza!”
Omunye nomunye owomileko akeze;
nanyana ngubani othandako
akathathe amanzi wokuphila ngesihle.
