IsAmbulo 15
Izingelosi eziyisikhombisa nezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina
1Ngase ngibona esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini esikhulu nesimangalisayo: izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zinezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, ngokuba kwapheleliswa ngazo ulaka lukaNkulunkulu. 2Ngabona kungathi ulwandle lwengilazi luxubene nomlilo, nabavela ekunqobeni isilo nomfanekiso waso nesibalo segama laso bemi ngaselwandle lwengilazi, benamahabhu* kaNkulunkulu. 3Bahlabelela igama likaMose inceku kaNkulunkulu negama leWundlu, bathi:
“Mikhulu, iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho,
Nkosi Nkulunkulu, Mninimandla onke;
zilungile, ziqinisile izindlela zakho
wena Nkosi yezizwe;
4ngubani ongayikwesaba, Nkosi,
adumise igama lakho, na?
Ngokuba wena wedwa ungcwele,
nezizwe zonke ziyakuza
zikhuleke phambi kwakho,
ngokuba izenzo zakho zokulunga
zibonakalisiwe.”
5Emva kwalokho ngabona, kwase kuvulwa ithempeli letabernakele* lobufakazi ezulwini, 6kwaphuma ethempelini izingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezinezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa, zembethe ingubo yelineni ehlanzekileyo nekhazimulayo, zizibophe ezifubeni ngamabhande* egolide. 7Esinye sezidalwa ezine sanika izingelosi eziyisikhombisa izitsha zegolide, zigcwele ulaka lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade. 8Ithempeli lagcwala umusi ovela ekukhazimuleni kukaNkulunkulu nasemandleni akhe; akakho owayengangena ethempelini, zingakapheleli izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zezingelosi eziyisikhombisa.
