ISAMBULO 15
Iinhlupheko ezilikhomba zokuphela
1Ngabona esinye isibonakaliso esikhulu nesirarako ezulwini: Bekuziingilozi ezilikhomba egade zineenhlupheko ezilikhomba, ekungezokugcina ngombana ngazo ilaka lakaZimu liphelisiwe.
2Ngabona lokho okwabonakala sengathi lilwandle lerhalasi livangene nomlilo nalabo ebebahlule isibandananomfanekiso waso kanye nesibalo sebizo laso. Bebajame eduze nelwandle lerhalasi baphethe amaharibha abawanikelwe nguZimu ezandleni zabo. 3Bavuma irhubo lakaMosi inceku kaZimu kanye nerhubo leMvana, basithi:
“Mikhulu iyababazeka imisebenzakho,
wena Somnini Zimu Mninimandla!
Zilungile begodu ziliqiniso iindlela zakho,
wena Kosi yezizwe zoke.
4Somnini, ngubani ongekhe akwesaba
begodu adumise ibizo lakho na?
Lokhu kungebanga lokobana
nguwe wedwa ocwengileko.
Izizwe zoke ziyokufika zilotjhe
phambi kwakho
ngombana iingwebo zakho zisepepeneneni.”
5Ngemva kwalokho ngaqala, ngabona ithempeli elilitende lobufakazi ezulwini livulekile. 6Ethempelinapho kwaphuma iingilozi ezilikhomba neenhlupheko ezilikhomba, zembethe ilineni elidarhileko, ziqakanise imitletlana yegolide eemfubeni zazo. 7Nje-ke esinye seembunjwa ezine eziphilako sanikela iingilozi ezilikhomba izitja ezilikhomba zegolide zizele ubukhali bakaZimu ophila nini nanini. 8Ithempeli lazala intuthu yephazimulo ebuya ebukhosini nemandleni kaZimu. Begodu bekangekho ongangena ngethempelini zingakapheli iinhlupheko ezilikhomba zeengilozi ezilikhomba.
