Ngako-ke Simakadze Nkulunkulu wakho ukuyalile kutsi uligcine liSabatha.
16“ ‘Hlonipha uyihlo nenyoko, njengobe Simakadze Nkulunkulu wakho akuyala, khona utewuphila sikhatsi lesidze kuze kukuhambele kahle eveni Simakadze Nkulunkulu wakho lakupha lona.

22“Lena-ke ngimiyalo Simakadze laninika yona akhuluma ngeliphimbo lelikhulu kini nonkhe, yena akhuluma asekhatsi emlilweni, etulu entsabeni efini nasebumnyameni lobulicinsi; kute lokunye lakwengeta. Wayibhala etibhelekeceni letimbili tematje, wase unginika tona.”

Lamuhla sesibonile kutsi kantsi umuntfu angajinge aphile nome Nkulunkulu akhuluma naye. 25Kodvwa-ke manje sifelani? Lomlilo lomkhulu kangaka utasishisa usicedze, futsi sitakufa nangabe sichubeka kuliva leliphimbo laSimakadze Nkulunkulu wetfu. 26Kwase kwenteka yini kutsi umuntfu lobhubhako eve liphimbo laNkulunkulu lophilako likhuluma emlilweni, njengatsi, abuye aphile?
27“ ‘Sondzela wena uyekuva konkhe loko Simakadze Nkulunkulu wetfu lakushoko. Tsine sitawutjelwa nguwe loko Simakadze lakutjela kona, natsi sitawulalela sikwente loko.’
28“Simakadze waniva nanikhuluma kimi, wase ukhuluma kimi utsi: ‘Ngikuvile loku lokukhulunywe ngulabantfu kuwe. Konkhe loko labakukhulume kuwe kulungile kuhle. 29Yebo, shangatsi tinhlitiyo tabo tingatsambela ekungesabeni, bagcine imiyalo yami ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi, khona kutawubahambela kahle bona nebantfwababo kuze kube phakadze! 30Hamba ubatjele bancandzeke babuyele emathendeni abo. 31Kodvwa wena hlala nami lapha, khona ngitekunika yonkhe imiyalo yami, netimiso tami, nemitsetfo yami lekufanele uyifundzise kutsi bayilandzele eveni lengibanika lona kutsi libe labo.’
32“Ngako caphelani kwenta loko Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu laniyale ngako kutsi nikwente; ningacali nijikele ngesekudla nome ngesancele. 33Hambani endleleni Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu laniyale kutsi nihambe ngayo, khona nitewuphila nichume, netinsuku tenu tandze eveni lelitawuba lenu.”
