1. Ndabona, esandleni sokunene salowo uhleli etroneni, incwadi ibhalwe ngaphakathi nangaphandle, itywinwe ngamatywina asixhenxe.    2. Ndabona isithunywa sezulu esomeleleyo, sivakalisa ngezwi elikhulu, sisithi, Ngubani na ofanele ukuyivula incwadi, nokuwanqika amatywina ayo?    3. Akabakho namnye ezulwini, naphezu komhlaba, nangaphantsi komhlaba, unako ukuyivula incwadi, nokuyikhangela oku.    4. Ndandilila kakhulu mna, ngokuba kungafunyanwanga namnye ufanele ukuyivula nokuyilesa incwadi, nokuyikhangela oku.    5. Yathi enye indoda enkulu kum, Musa ukulila; yabona, iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda, iNgcambu kaDavide, ikweyisile ukuyivula incwadi, nokuwanqika amatywina ayo asixhenxe.    6. Ndabona, nantso, esazulwini setrone nesezinto eziphilileyo zone, nasesazulwini samadoda amakhulu, iMvana engathi ixheliwe, imi ineempondo ezisixhenxe, namehlo asixhenxe angooMoya bosixhenxe bakaThixo, abathunyelwe emhlabeni wonke.    7. Yeza, yayithabatha incwadi esandleni sokunene salowo uhleli etroneni.    8. Yathi yakuyithabatha incwadi, izinto eziphilileyo zone, namadoda amakhulu angamashumi mabini anamane, awa phambi kweMvana, iyileyo inohadi, nengqayi yegolide izele ziziqhumiso, eziyiyo imithandazo yabangcwele.    9. Avuma ingoma entsha, esithi: Ufanele ukuyithabatha incwadi, nokuwavula amatywina ayo; Ngokuba wena waxhelwa, wasithenga ukuba sibe ngabakaThixo ngalo igazi lakho, Siphuma kuzo zonke izizwe, neelwimi, nabantu, neentlanga;    10. Wasenza ookumkani nababingeleli kuye uThixo wethu; Sasiya kuba ngookumkani phezu komhlaba.    11. Ndabona, ndeva izwi lezithunywa zezulu ezininzi, zenze isangqa etroneni, nezinto eziphilileyo, nawo amadoda amakhulu: laye inani lawo lizizigidi zezigidi;    12. besithi ngezwi elikhulu: Kuyifanele iMvana eyaxhelwayo ukwamkela amandla, Nobutyebi, nobulumko, nokomelela, nembeko, nozuko, nokubongwa.    13. Kananjalo zonke izidalwa ezisezulwini, naphezu komhlaba, naphantsi komhlaba, naphezu kolwandle, neento zonke ezikwezo zinto, ndaziva zisithi: Kulowo uhleli etroneni, nakuyo iMvana, Makubekho ukubongwa, nembeko, nozuko, namandla, Kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni.    14. Izinto eziphilileyo zone zathi, Amen. Aza amadoda amakhulu aqubuda.
