Madoda akwa-Israyeli, yizwani lawa mazwi; UJesu waseNazaretha, indoda efakazelwe nguNkulunkulu phakathi kwenu ngemisebenzi yamandla, nangezimangaliso, nangezibonakaliso, uNkulunkulu azenza ngayo phakathi kwenu, njengokuba nazi nani ngokwenu;
yena esenikelwe ngecebo elimisiweyo nangokwazi kukaNkulunkulu ngaphambili, namthatha, ngezandla zababi nambethela, nambulala;
uNkulunkulu amvusayo, esethukululile iminjunju yokufa, ngoba kwakungenzeki ukuthi abanjwe yikho.
Ngoba uDavida uthi ngaye: Ngayibona iNkosi phambi kwami njalo, ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, ukuze nginganyakaziswa;
Ngakho inhliziyo yami yathokoza, lolimi lwami lwathokoza; futhi nenyama yami iyohlala ethembeni;
Ngoba kawuyikutshiya umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela oNgcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola.
Wangazisa izindlela zokuphila; uyakungigcwalisa ngokujabula ebusweni bakho.
Madoda, bazalwane, ake ngikhulume kini ngokusobala ngokhokho uDavide ukuthi wafa wangcwatshwa, nethuna lakhe lisekhona kithi kuze kube namuhla.
Ngakho-ke engumprofethi, ekwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wafunga kuye ngesifungo ukuthi esithelweni sokhalo lwakhe ngokwenyama uzavusa uKristu ukuthi ahlale esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi;
Ekubona ngaphambili wakhuluma ngokuvuka kukaKristu, ukuthi umphefumulo wakhe kawutshiywanga esihogweni, lenyama yakhe kayikubonanga ukubola.
LoJesu uNkulunkulu wamvusa, esingofakazi bakho thina sonke.
Ngakho-ke ephakanyiselwe ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, esamukele kuYise isithembiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, ukuchithile lokhu enikubonayo nenikuzwayo manje.
Ngoba uDavida akenyukelanga emazulwini, kodwa yena uthi: INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami;
ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho.
Ngakho-ke yonke indlu ka-Israyeli mayazi isibili, ukuthi uNkulunkulu umenzile iNkosi noKristu yena lowo Jesu enambethela esiphambanweni.
Kwathi sebezwile lokho bahlabeka enhliziyweni, bathi kuPetro lakwabanye abaphostoli: Madoda, bazalwane, sizakwenzani?
