1Esandleni sekudla salowo lohleti esihlalweni sebukhosi ngabona incwadzi legocotiwe ibhalwe ngekhatsi nangephandle, ivalwe yananyatseliswa ngetimphawu letisikhombisa. 2Ngabona ingilosi lenemandla imemeta ngelivi lelikhulu itsi: “Ngubani lofanele kuvula lencwadzi acatulule letimphawu tayo?” 3Kwabate ngisho namunye ezulwini, nasemhlabeni, nangaphansi kwemhlaba, lowaba nemandla ekuyivula lencwadzi ayifundze. 4Ngakhala kakhulu, ngobe kwabate ngisho namunye lowafaneleka kuyivula lencwadzi ayifundze. 5Lelinye lalamalunga latsi kimi: “Ungakhali! Asubuke! INgwenyama yesive sakaJuda, lengumliba waDavide incobile. Yona-ke ingaticatulula letimphawu letisikhombisa ivule lencwadzi.”
6Ngabona liWundlu sengatsi lihlatjiwe. Lalime ngasesihlalweni sebukhosi lesasitungeletwe tidalwa letine nemalunga. LeliWundlu lalinetimphondvo letisikhombisa nemehlo lasikhombisa, lekuyimimoya yaNkulunkulu lesikhombisa leyayitfunyelwe emhlabeni wonkhe. 7Lasondzela lafike layitsatsa lencwadzi leyayisesandleni sangesekudla salowo labehleti esihlalweni sebukhosi. 8Latsi kube liyitsatse lencwadzi, letidalwa letine kanye nemalunga langema-24 awa phansi embikweliWundlu, lelo nalelo liphetse ihabhu, netitja tegolide tigcwele imphepho lengimithandazo yalabangcwele. 9Kwahlatjelwa ingoma lensha, letsi:
“Ufanele wena
kuyitsatsa lencwadzi legocotiwe,
ufanele futsi kuticatulula
netimphawu tayo,
yebo, ngobe wena wahlatjwa,
ngengati yakho

Labantfu bachamuka emindenini yonkhe,
nasetilimini tonkhe, nasetiveni tonkhe,
nasemaveni onkhe.
10Wabenta baba ngemakhosi nebaphristi
kuNkulunkulu wetfu,
bayawubusa etikwemhlaba wonkhe.”
11Ngatsi ngiyabuka, ngeva livi letingilosi letitungelete sihlalo sebukhosi netidalwa nemalunga. Letingilosi letatitinyenti titigidzi ngetigidzi netinkhulungwane ngetinkhulungwane, 12tatihlabela ngelivi lelikhulu titsi:
“Lifanele liWundlu lelahlatjwa,
kutsi lemukele emandla, nengcebo,
nekuhlakanipha, nekuncoba,
neludvumo, nebukhosi, nesibusiso!”
13Ngase ngiva tidalwa tonkhe nendalo yonkhe ezulwini, nasemhlabeni, nangephansi kwemhlaba, naselwandle, nako konkhe lokukuko, titsi:
“Kuye lohleti esihlalweni sebukhosi,
nakulo liWundlu, akube sibusiso,
neludvumo, nebukhosi, nemandla,
kuze kube phakadze naphakadze!”
14Tidalwa letine tatsi: “Amen!” Nemalunga onkhe awa phansi akhuleka.
