9 Emva kwalokho ngabona, bheka-ke, isixuku esikhulu ebesingenakubalwa muntu, sivela kuzo zonke izizwe, nemindeni, nabantu, nezilimi, simi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi naphambi kweWundlu, sembethe izingubo ezinde ezimhlophe, siphethe amahlamvu esundu ngezandla zaso,
10 samemeza ngezwi elikhulu, sithi:“Insindiso ngekaNkulunkulu wethuohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi neyeWundlu!”
11 Nezingelosi zonke ezazimi zihaqe isihlalo sobukhosi namalunga nezidalwa ezine zawa phansi ngobuso phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, zakhuleka kuNkulunkulu, zathi:
12 “Amen! Isibusiso, nenkazimulo,nokuhlakanipha, nokubongwa, nodumo,namandla, nokunqoba makube kuNkulunkulu wethukuze kube phakade naphakade.Amen!”
13 Elinye lamalunga lase liphendula, lithi kimi: “Laba abembethe izingubo ezimhlophe bangobani, bavelaphi, na?”
14 Ngase ngithi kulo: “Nkosi yami, nguwe owaziyo.”Lase lithi kimi: “Laba yibo abaphuma osizini olukhulu, bahlanza izingubo zabo, bazenza zaba mhlophe egazini leWundlu.
15 Ngalokho-ke baphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu bemkhonza imini nobusuku ethempelini lakhe, nohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi uyakumisa itabernakele* phezu kwabo.
16 Kabasayikulamba, kabasayikoma kabasoze bahlatshwa yilanga nakushisa kuni,
17 ngokuba iWundlu elingaphakathi nesihlalo sobukhosi liyakubelusa, libaholele emithonjeni yamanzi okuphila; noNkulunkulu uyakwesula izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo.”
