1 Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, mna othetha nkqu ngelizwi loMoya wam, nkqu uAlfa no-Omega, iNkosi yenu noThixo wenu—
2 Phulaphulani, Owu nina, ninikele amagama enu ekuyeni ngaphambili ukubhengeza ivangeli yam, nokuthena isidiliya sam.
3 Qaphelani, ndithi kuni okokuba yintando yam ukuba nibe nokuya ngaphambili kwaye ningahlali, nakunqena kodwa sebenzani ngamandlakazi enu—
4 Niphakamisela phezulu amazwi enu njengokungathi kungesandi sexilongo, nibhengeza inyaniso ngokunxulumene kwizityhilelo nemiyalelo endininike yona.
5 Kwaye njalo, ukuba nina nithembekile niya kuthwaliswa izithungu ezininzi, nithweswe ngembeko, nozuko, nokungafi, nangobomi obungunaphakade.
6 Ke ngoko, inene ndithi kwisicaka sam uWilliam E. McLellin, ndirhoxisa umsebenzi endawunika yena nokuya kumazwe asempumalanga;
7 Kwaye ndimnika umsebenzi omtsha nomyalelo omtsha, kuyo mna, iNkosi, ndimohlwaya ngenxa yokumbombozela kwentliziyo yakhe;
8 Kwaye wona; nangona kunjalo, ndiyamxolela kwaye ndithi kuye kwakhona, hamba uye kwamazwe asezantsi.
9 Kwaye vumelani isicaka sam uLuke Johnson ahambe kunye naye, baze babhengeze izinto endibayalele zona—
10 Bebizela egameni leNkosi uMonwabisi, oya kubafundisa zonke izinto ezifanele bona—
11 Bethandaza rhoqo okokuba bangatyhafi; nanjengokuba beya kwenza oku, ndiya kuba nabo nkqu ukuya esiphelweni.
12 Qaphelani le yintando yeNkosi uThixo wenu ngokunxulumene nani. Nkqu kunjalo. Amen.
13 Kwaye kwakhona, inene itsho njalo iNkosi, vumelani isicaka sam uOrson Hyde nesicaka sam uSamuel H. Smith bathabathe uhambo lwabo oluya kumazwe asempumalanga; baze babhengeze izinto endibayalele zona; nanjengokuba bethembekile, yabonani, ndiya kuba kunye nabo nkqu ukuya esiphelweni.
14 Kwaye kwakhona, inene ndithi kwisicaka sam uLyman Johnson, nakwisicaka sam uOrson Pratt, kanjalo baya kuthabatha uhambo lwabo oluya kumazwe asempumalanga, kwaye qaphelani, kwaye yabonani, ndikunye nabo kanjalo, nkqu ukuya esiphelweni.
15 Kwaye kwakhona, ndithi kwisicaka sam uAsa Dodds, nakwisicaka sam uCalves Wilson, okokuba baya kuthabatha uhambo lwabo oluya kumazwe asentshonalanga, baze babhengeze ivangeli yam, nkqu njengoko ndibayaleleyo.
16 Kwaye lowo uthembekileyo uya koyisa zonke izinto, aze aphakanyiselwe phezulu ngomhla nokugqibela.
17 Kwaye kwakhona, ndithi kwisicaka sam uMajor N. Ashley, nakwisicaka sam uBurr Riggs, bavumeleni bathabathe uhambo lwabo kanjalo oluya kwilizwe lasezantsi.
18 Ewe, bavumeleni bonke abo bathabatha uhambo, njengoko ndibayalele, behamba ukusuka endlwini kuye endlwini, nokusuka kwidolophana ukuya kwidolophana, nokusuka esixekweni ukuya esixekweni.
19 Kwaye kuyo nayiphina indlu eningena kuyo, baze banamkele, shiyani intsikelelo yenu phezu kwaloo ndlu.
20 Kwaye kuyo nayiphina indlu eningena kuyo, baze banganamkeli, niya kumka ngokukhawuleza kuloo ndlu, nize nivuthulule uthuli lweenyawo zenu njengobungqina obuchasene nabo.
21 Kwaye niya kuzaliswa kukugcoba novuyo; kwaye nazi oku, okokuba ngomhla womgwebo niya kuba ngabagwebi baloo ndlu, kwaye nibagwebe;
22 Kwaye kuya kunyamezeleka ngakumbi umhedeni ngomhla womgwebo, kunaloo ndlu; ke ngoko, bhinqani izinqe zenu nize nithembeke, kwaye niya kuzoyisa zonke izinto, nize ninyuselwe phezulu ngomhla wokugqibela. Nkqu kunjalo. Amen.
23 Kwaye kwakhona, itsho njalo iNkosi kum, Owu nina badala bebandla lam, eninikele ngamagama enu ukuze nibe nokwazi intando yayo ngokunxulumene nani—
24 Qaphelani, ndithi kuni, okokuba ngumsebenzi webandla ukuncedisa ekuxhaseni iintsapho zabo, kananjalo ukuxhasa iintsapho zabo babiziweyo kwaye kuyimfuneko ukuthunywa baye ehlabathini babhengeze ivangeli ehlabathini.
25 Ngako oko, mna, iNkosi, ndininika lo myalelo, okokuba nizuzele iindawo iintsapho zenu, njengokuba abazalwana benu bethanda ukuvula iintliziyo zabo.
26 Kwaye vumelani bonke abanjalo njengoko benako ukuzuzela iindawo iintsapho zabo, nenkxaso yebandla, bangasileli ukuya ehlabathini, nokokuba kusempumalanga okanye entshonalanga, okanye emntla, okanye emzantsi.
27 Celani niya kuphiwa, nkqonkqozani kwaye niya kuvulelwa, kwaye kwenziwe nazeke ukususela phezulu, nkqu ngoMonwabisi, apho baya kuya khona.
28 Kwaye kwakhona, inene ndithi kuni, okokuba wonke umntu obopheleleke ekuboneleleni usapho olulwakhe, mvumeleni alubonelele, kwaye nanga yiphina indlela akayi kuphulukana nesithsaba sakhe sonke; kwaye mvumeleni asebenze ebandleni.
29 Vumelani wonke umntu akhuthale ezintweni zonke. Kwaye ivila alisayi kuba nandawo ebandleni, ngaphandle kokuba liyaguquka lilungise iindlela zalo.
30 Ngako oko, vumelani isicaka sam uSimeon Carter nesicaka sam uEmer Harris bamanyane ebufundisini;
31 Kananjalo isicaka sam uEzra Thayre nesicaka sam uThomas B. Marsh;
32 Kanjalo isicaka sam uHyrum Smith nesicaka sam uReynolds Cahoon;
