1 Ngakho, kasesabe, hlezi, lapho sisekhona isithembiso sokungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, kube khona omunye wenu obonakala esehluleka ukufinyelela kukho;

2 ngoba lathi satshunyayezwa ivangeli, lanjengabo; kodwa ilizwi abalizwayo kalibasizanga bona, lokhu lingahlangananga lokholo kulabo abalizwayo;

3 ngoba thina esikholwayo siyangena ekuphumuleni, njengoba watsho ukuthi: Njengoba ngifungile ekuthukutheleni kwami ngathi: Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami; lanxa imisebenzi yayiqediwe kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba.

4 Ngoba utshilo kwenye indawo ngosuku lwesikhombisa kanje: UNkulunkulu wasephumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa emisebenzini yakhe yonke;

5 lakulindawo uthi futhi: Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.

6 Ngakho lokhu kusalele ukuthi abanye bangene kukho, lalabo abatshunyayezwa ivangeli kuqala kabangenanga ngokungalaleli,

7 ubuya aqume usuku oluthile athi: Lamuhla, utsho ngoDavida, emva kwesikhathi esingaka, njengokwatshiwo ukuthi: Lamuhla uba lizalizwa ilizwi lakhe, lingazenzi zibe lukhuni inhliziyo zenu.

8 Ngoba uba uJoshuwa wayebaphumuzile, wayengayikukhuluma emva kwalokhu ngolunye usuku.

9 Ngakho kubasalele abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuphumula kwesabatha.

10 Ngoba ongenileyo ekuphumuleni kwakhe laye usephumule emisebenzini yakhe, njengoNkulunkulu kweyakhe.

11 Ngakho asikhuthalele ukungena kulokhokuphumula, ukuze kungabi lowela kulesisibonelo sokungalaleli.

12 Ngoba ilizwi likaNkulunkulu liphilile, lilamandla, libukhali kulaloba yiyiphi inkemba esika nhlangothi zombili, lihlaba kuze kube sekwehlukanisweni komphefumulo lomoya, lamalunga lomnkantsho, njalo lingumhloli okhaliphileyo wemicabango lezizindlo zenhliziyo.

13 Futhi kakulalutho oludaliweyo olungabonakaliyo phambi kwakhe; kodwa zonke izinto zembuliwe zisobala emehlweni akhe esilokuzilanda kuye.

14 Ngakho lokhu silompristi omkhulu kakhulu, odlulele emazulwini, uJesu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, asibambelele kusivumo sethu.

15 Ngoba kasilaye umpristi omkhulu ongelakuzwelana lobuthakathaka bethu, kodwa owalingwa kukho konke njengathi, engelasono.

16 Ngakho kasisondele ngesibindi esihlalweni sobukhosi somusa, ukuze semukele isihawu, sithole umusa wosizo ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.
