IsAmbulo Chapter 10

1. Ngase ngibona enye ingelosi enamandla yehla ezulwini yembethe ifu, nothingo lwenkosikazi lwaluphezu kwekhanda layo, nobuso bayo babunjengelanga, nezinyawo zayo zinjengezinsika zomlilo,

2. iphethe esandleni sayo incwadi encane evulekileyo. Yayisimisa unyawo lwayo lokunene phezu kolwandle nolokhohlo phezu komhlabathi,

3. yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu njengokubhonga kwengonyama, nalapho isimemezile, imidumo eyisikhombisa yezwakalisa amazwi ayo.

4. Nalapho imidumo eyisikhombisa isikhulumile, ngase ngizakuloba; kepha ngezwa izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: “Namathisela ngophawu okukhulunywe yimidumo eyisikhombisa, kodwa ungakulobi.”

5. Ingelosi engayibona imi phezu kolwandle naphezu komhlabathi yayisiphakamisela ezulwini isandla sayo sokunene,

6. yafunga yena ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade, owadala izulu nokukulo, nomhlaba nokukuwo, nolwandle nokukulo, yathi: “Akusayikubakho isikhathi,

7. kepha ngezinsuku zezwi lengelosi yesikhombisa, lapho isizakubetha icilongo, imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu isiyakube ifeziwe, njengalokho azazisa izinceku zakhe abaprofethi ngezindaba ezijabulisayo.”

8. Izwi engalizwa livela ezulwini lase liphinda likhuluma nami, lithi: “Hamba uye uthabathe incwadi evulekileyo esesandleni sengelosi emi phezu kolwandle naphezu komhlabathi.”

9. Ngaya kuyo ingelosi; ngase ngithi kuyo mayinginike incwadi encane. Yayisithi kimi: “Yithabathe, uyidle uyiqede; izakubaba esiswini sakho, kepha emlonyeni wakho iyakuba mnandi njengezinyosi.”

10. Ngase ngiyithatha incwadi encane esandleni sengelosi, ngayidla ngayiqeda; yayisiba mnandi njengezinyosi emlonyeni wami; nalapho sengiyidlile, yababa esiswini sami.

11. Zase zithi kimi: “Kumelwe ukuba uphinde uprofethe ngabantu abaningi, nezizwe, nezilimi, namakhosi.”
