1–5, Emavi ebabonisi uma achutjwa nguMoya loNgcwele ayimibhalo lengcwele; 6–12, Babonisi kufanele bashumayele baphindze babhabhatise, futsi tibonakaliso titawulandzela labakholwa ngekweliciniso; 13–24, Litubulo emkhatsini wemadvodzana a-Aroni lingasebenta njengeMbhishobhi loweNgamele (lokusho kutsi, liphatse tikhiya tebumengameli njengembhishobhi) ngaphansi kwekuyaletwa buMengameli bekuCala; 25–28, Batali bayaletwa kutsi bafundzise livangeli ebantfwaneni babo; 29–35, LabaNgcwele kufanele bagcine liSabatha, basebente ngekukhutsala baphindze bathandaze.
1 Inceku yami, Orson Hyde, yabitwa ngekugcotjwa kwayo kutsi ishumayele livangeli laphakadze, ngaMoya waNkulunkulu lophilako, kusuka kubantfu kuya kulabanye, nekusuka eveni kuya kulelinye, emabandleni alababi, emasinagogeni abo, ikhulumisana nabo iphindze ibachazela yonkhe imibhalo lengcwele.
2 Futsi, bukani, nibone, loku kusibonelo kubo bonkhe labo lababekwa kulobu buphristi, umsebenti wabo lomiselwe bona kutsi bahambe—
3 Loku kusibonelo kubo, kutsi bayawukhuluma ngekuchutjwa nguMoya loNgcwele.
4 Futsi noma ngabe yini labayawuyikhuluma ngekuchutjwa nguMoya loNgcwele kuyawuba ngumbhalo longcwele, kuyawuba yintsandvo yeNkhosi, kuyawuba yingcondvo yeNkhosi, kuyawuba ngumlayeto weNkhosi, kuyawuba liphimbo leNkhosi nemandla aNkulunkulu ekusindziseni.
5 Bukani, lesi setsembiso seNkhosi kini, Awu nine tinceku tami.
6 Ngaloko-ke, manini sibindzi, ningesabi, ngoba mine iNkhosi nginani, futsi ngitawukuma nani; niyawufakaza ngami, ngisho Jesu Khristu, kutsi ngiyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu lophilako, kutsi bengikhona, ngikhona, futsi ngitawukuta.
7 Lona ngumyaleto weNkhosi kuwe, nceku yami Orson Hyde, nakunceku yami Luke Johnson, nakunceku yami Lyman Johnson, nakunceku yami William E. McLellin, nakubo bonkhe babonisi labetsembekile belibandla lami—
8 Hambani niye emhlabeni wonkhe, nishumayele livangeli kuto tonkhe tidalwa, nikwente ngeligunya lengininike lona, nibhabhatise egameni laBabe, neleNdvodzana, nelaMoya loNgcwele.
9 Futsi loyo lokholwako bese uyabhajatiswa uyawusindziswa, kodvwa loyo longakholwa uyawulahlwa.
10 Futsi loyo lokholwako uyawubusiswa ngetibonakaliso letiyawumlandzela, njengoba kubhaliwe.
11 Futsi niyawuphiwa kutsi nati tibonakaliso tesikhatsi, netibonakaliso tekubuya kweNdvodzana yeMuntfu;
12 Futsi bonkhe labo Babe layawufakaza ngabo, niyawuniketwa emandla ekubabophela ekuphileni lokuphakadze. Amen.
13 Manje, mayelana netintfo letengetwe etivumelwaneni nasemiyaletweni, nguleti—
14 Kukhona emvakwaloku, ngesikhatsi lesifanele seNkhosi, labanye babhishobhi lokufanele behlukaniswe ebandleni, kute basite njengewakucala.
15 Ngaloko-ke bayawuba baphristi labakhulu labafanele, futsi bayawukhetfwa buMengameli bekuCala bebuPhristi bakaMelkhisedeki, ngaphandle uma babesitukulwane sangempela sa-Aroni.
16 Uma babesitukulwane sangempela sa-Aroni banelilungelo lelisemtsetfweni lekuba sesikhundleni sebubhishobhi, uma bangematibulo emkhatsini wemadvodzana a-Aroni.
17 Ngoba litubulo linelilungelo lebumengameli kulobu buphristi, kanye netikhiya noma ligunya labo.
18 Kute umuntfu lonelilungelo lelisemtsetfweni kulesi sikhundla, kuphatsa tikhiya talobu buphristi, ngaphandle uma anguwesitukulwane sangempela futsi alitubulo la-Aroni.
19 Kodvwa, njengoba umphristi lomkhulu webuPhristi bakaMelkhisedeki aneligunya lekusebenta kuto tonkhe tikhundla letincane angasebenta esikhundleni sembhishobhi uma kute lotfolakalako longuwesitukulwane sangempela sa-Aroni, uma nje abitiwe wase uyehlukaniswa waphindze wabekwa kulamandla, ngaphansi kwetandla tebuMengameli bekuCala bebuPhristi bakaMelkhisedeki.
20 Futsi longuwesitukulwane sangempela sa-Aroni, naye, kufanele akhonjwe ngulobu buMengameli, atfolakale angulofanele, agcotjwe, bese ubekwa ngaphansi kwetandla tebuMengameli, kungenjalo akavunyelwa ngekwemtsetfo kusebenta ebuphristini bakhe.
21 Kodvwa, ngenca yemyalo mayelana nelilungelo labo lebuphristi lelehla kusukela kubabe kuya endvodzaneni, bangakufuna kugcojtwa kwabo uma noma ngusiphi sikhatsi bangayifakazela intalelwane yabo, noma bayitfole ngesembulo lesisuka eNkhosini ngaphansi kwetandla tebuMengameli losebushiwo ngenhla.
22 Ngetulu kwaloko, kute umbhishobi noma umphristi lomkhulu loyawuhlukaniswa kulesi sikhundla loyawehlulelwa noma loyawubekwa noma nguliphi licala, ngaphandle uma kungaphambi kwebuMengameli bekuCala belibandla;
23 Futsi nangabe utfolwa anelicala phambi kwalobu buMengameli, ngebufakazi lobungeke buphikiseke, uyawubekwa licala;
24 Uma aphendvuka uyawucolelwa, ngekwetivumelwano nemiyaleto yelibandla.
25 Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe batali banebantfwana eSiyoni, noma ngabe ngutiphi tikhonkhwane tayo letihleliwe, labangabafundzisi kutsi bayicondze imfundziso yekuphendvuka, kukholwa kuKhristu iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu lophilako, nekubhajatiswa kanye nesipho saMoya loNgcwele ngekubekwa tandla, uma sebaneminyaka lesiphohlongo budzala, sono siyawuba setikwetinhloko tebatali.
26 Ngoba loku kuyawuba ngumtsetfo kubantfu baseSiyoni, noma kunoma ngutiphi tikhonkhwane tayo letihleliwe.
27 Nebantfwana babo bayawubhajatiswa kute kutsetselelwe tono tabo uma sebaneminyaka lesiphohlongo budzala, futsi kufanele bemukele kubekwa tandla.
28 Futsi bayawufundzisa bantfwana babo kuthandaza, nekuhamba ngebucotfo phambi kweNkhosi.
29 Futsi nebantfu labahlala eSiyoni bayawukhumbula lilanga leSabatha baligcine lingcwele.
30 Nebantfu labahlala eSiyoni bayawuyikhumbula imisebenti yabo, nangabe bakhetfwe kutsi basebente, kuko konkhe kwetsembeka; ngoba livila liyawukhunjulwa phambi kweNkhosi.
31 Manje, mine, iNkhosi, angitfokoti kahle ngebantfu labahlala eSiyoni, ngoba kunemavila emkhatsini wabo; nebantfwana babo bakhulela ebubini; futsi abayifuni ngebucotfo ingcebo yaphakadze, kodvwa emehlo abo agcwele umhobholo.
32 Leti tintfo akukafaneli tibe njalo, futsi kufanele ticedvwe emkhatsini wabo; ngaloko-ke, inceku yami Oliver Cowdery ayihambise lomyaleto eveni laseSiyoni.
33 Futsi ngibanika umyaleto—kutsi loyo longawenti umthandazo wakhe phambi kweNkhosi ngesikhatsi sawo, akakhunjulwe phambi kwemehluleli webantfu bami.
34 Lena miyaleto iliciniso futsi yetsembekile; ngaloko-ke, ningayephuli, futsi ningesusi lutfo kuyo.
35 Bukani, ngingu-Alfa na-Omega, futsi ngiyabuya masinyane. Amen.
