Ukukhanya kukaBaba Akunakuvinjwa
Uthi lwezibani lwegolide olondliwa yiminqumo emibili luphendula ukudangala kukaZerubabeli ngethempeli elincane, elingakaqedwa. Izwi likaBaba wethu kuye: akungamandla, akungempi, kodwa ngoMoya wami. Izandla ezabeka isisekelo ziyoliqeda; akekho okufanele adelele izinto ezincane.
4 1Ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami yabuya, yangivusa, njengomuntu ovuswa ebuthongweni. 2Yabuza yathi: “Ubonani?” Ngathi: “Uthi lwezibani lwegolide, nesitsha ngaphezulu kwalo, nezibani eziyisikhombisa, nemibhobho eyisikhombisa kuleso naleso sibani esiphezulu.
3Izihlahla ezimbili zomnqumo zimi eceleni kwalo, esinye ngakwesokudla sesitsha, esinye ngakwesokunxele saso.”
4Ngase ngithi kuyo ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami: “Yini lokhu, nkosi yami?”
5Ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami yaphendula yathi: “Awazi yini ukuthi kuyini lokhu?” Ngathi: “Cha, nkosi yami.”
6Yathi kimi: “Yileli izwi likaBaba wethu kuZerubabeli: Akungamandla, akungempi, kodwa ngoMoya wami, kusho uBaba wamabutho asezulwini. 7Ungubani wena, ntaba enkulu? Phambi kukaZerubabeli uyoba yithafa elilingene. Uyokhipha itshe eliyinhloko ememeza, ethi: ‘Umusa, umusa kulo!’
8Izwi likaBaba wethu lafika kimi, lathi:
9Izandla zikaZerubabeli zabeka isisekelo salé ndlu; izandla zakhe ziyoyiqeda. Khona-ke niyokwazi ukuthi uBaba wamabutho asezulwini ungithume kini. 10Ngubani odelele usuku lwezinto ezincane? Bayojabula, bebona intambo yokulinganisa esandleni sikaZerubabeli. Lezi eziyisikhombisa angamehlo kaBaba wethu, ahamba ewuhlola wonke umhlaba.”
11Ngase ngimbuza ngithi: “Ziyini lezi zihlahla ezimbili zomnqumo ezingakwesokudla nangakwesokunxele kothi lwezibani?” 12Ngaphinda ngabuza ngathi: “Ayini la magatsha amabili omnqumo aseceleni kwemibhobho emibili yegolide ethulula amafutha egolide?”
13Yathi kimi: “Awazi yini ukuthi kuyini lokhu?” Ngathi: “Cha, nkosi yami.”
14Yathi: “Laba ngabagcotshiweyo ababili abami phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.”
