ULUKA 1:57-80 IZIBHALO EZINGCWELE (XHO75)
Ke kaloku, ixesha likaElizabhete lazaliseka lokuba azale; wazala unyana. Beva abamelwane nemizalwane yakhe, ukuba iNkosi iyenze nkulu inceba yayo kuye, baye ke bevuyisana naye. Kwathi ngomhla wesibhlozo, beza kumalùsa umntwana; baye bemthiya igama likayise, besithi nguZekariya; koko waphendulayo unina, wathi, Hayi; uya kubizwa ngokuba nguYohane. Bathi kuye, Akukho namnye ubizwa ngelo gama kwimizalwane yakho. Baye ke benqwala kuyise besithi, angathanda ukuba athiweni na ukubizwa. Wabiza icwecwana, wabhala esithi, Igama lakhe nguYohane. Bamangaliswa bonke. Wavuleka ke kwaoko umlomo wakhe, lwathukululeka nolwimi lwakhe, wamana ethetha, ebonga uThixo. Kwehla ukoyika phezu kwalo lonke umelwane lwabo; kwaye kulo lonke eleentaba lakwaYuda kuxoxwa ngazo zonke ezi zinto. Bathi bonke abazivayo, bazibeka entliziyweni yabo, besithi, Azi uya kuba yintoni na lo mntwana? Saye isandla seNkosi sinaye. UZekariya uyise wazala nguMoya oyiNgcwele, waprofeta esithi: Mayibongwe iNkosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, Ngokuba ibavelele yabakhulula ngentlawulelo abantu bayo. Yasiphakamisela uphondo losindiso Endlwini kaDavide, umkhonzi wayo, Njengoko yathethayo ngomlomo wabangcwele, ababengabaprofeti bayo kwasephakadeni; Usindiso lokusisindisa ezintshabeni zethu, nasesandleni sabo bonke abo basithiyayo; Ukubenzela inceba oobawo bethu, Nokukhumbula umnqophiso wayo ongcwele, Isifungo eyasifungela uAbraham ubawo wethu, Sokusinika ukuba sithi, síhlangulwe esandleni seentshaba zethu, Siyikhonze singenakoyika, Ngobungcwele nangobulungisa emehlweni ayo, yonke imihla yobomi bethu. Nawe, mntwana, uya kubizwa ngokuba ungumprofeti wOsenyangweni, Kuba ùya kuhamba phambi kobuso beNkosi, ulungise iindlela zayo, Ukuze ubanike abantu bayo ukwaziwa kosindiso Ngoxolelo lwezono zabo, Ngenxa yenceba nemfesane yoThixo wethu, Othe ngaye wasivelela umsó wasenyangweni, Ukuba úkhanye kwabo bahleliyo emnyameni, nasethunzini lokufa, Ukuba úzingenise iinyawo zethu endleleni yoxolo. Wakhula umntwana, waya esomelela ngomoya; waye esentlango, kwada kwayimini yokubonakalaliswa kwakhe kuSirayeli.

Nguwo lo umlomo wayo wamhla-mnene oweza *ngabashumayeli bayo abangcwele, ithembisa ukusisindisa ezintshabeni zethu, nasesandleni sabo bonke abasithiyileyo; isithi yobenzela inceba oobawo bethu, iwukhumbule umnqophiso wayo ongcwele, isifungo eyasenzela uAbraham ubawo wethu, sokusihlangula ezintshabeni zethu, siyikhonze singenaxhala, ngobungcwele nangobulungisa phambi kwayo, yonke imihla yobomi bethu. Nawe ke, mntwana wam, wobizwa ngokuba *ungumshumayeli kaThixo uPhezukonke, kuba uya kuyibhulela umbethe iNkosi, uyigabulele izigcawu. Wobazisa abantu beNkosi ngosindiso olungoxolelo lwezono zabo, kuba unenceba nemfesane uThixo wethu. Ngoko wosivelisela olilanga lasezulwini, ukuze akhanyisele abasebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, nokuze azikhokelele endleleni yoxolo iinyawo zethu.” Wakhula umntwana, waya esomelela ngokomelela. Wayehlala entlango kwada kwayimini yokubonakala kwakhe kumaSirayeli.
