The Opening of Matenga’s Ark and the Messengers in the City

1 It happened on Sunday at sunset, King Zimunya and his headmen had come to the City .

2 To give thanks for what Matenga had done for them.

3 Now it was the day of the opening of Matenga’s Ark.

4 The members of Jeneti’s congregation were dressed in red jackets.

5 The young guards were wearing G.R.J. sashes and red belts.

6 As we left the Mudivi going into the Ark, they were singing “Lord , We Have Gathered” to Jeneti’s tune.

7 When we were at the door of the Ark, King Zimunya opened the door of Matenga’s Ark.

8 Saying, “Messenger , I hand over this Ark of yours to you.”

9 “So that you may perform this awe-inspiring work of your Father, which you brought from Heaven.”

10 “So that we may all see salvation , both black and white, in the flesh and in the spirit.”

11 Having received it, Matenga entered the Ark with the King and Lord Nyakunu.

12 Along with a government policeman who was there and all those who were dressed in red, the Blood of Christ.

13 After we entered this Ark, the door was closed.

14 There was singing in a most awe-inspiring way to Jeneti’s tune.

15 In this Ark, there was singing such as had never been done on earth.

16 Their voices were like the melodies of Heaven.

17 For they had become only messengers, so says the Gwayana .

18 Matenga prayed and said, “Father, it is enough now that you have shut us in like this, as in the time of Noah; these are the ones who obeyed my commands.”

19 Then the Gwayana immediately cried out, saying, “Father, Noah and Jeneti and the great messengers of Heaven are in here.”

20 When she finished, the evangelists prayed awe-inspiringly, and it shone very brightly.

21 When Matenga finished praying, she said, “The younger siblings of Jeneti and the younger siblings of Noah, you have leaned [on the Spirit].”

22 There was singing; and whenever Matenga leaped, the Ark seemed to rise from the earth, ascending to Heaven.

23 Matenga said, “I used to see it from long ago, situated on the hill.”

24 The evangelists stood up and gave thanks for the building of the Ark.

25 Matenga stood up and thanked those who built it and those who helped so that this Ark could exist.

26 Then it happened that we were leaving that Ark.

27 Every person was possessed by a messenger and was given their manna.

28 It was awe-inspiring, people of God .

29 Let us remember that you and I entered this Ark, so what will it be at the end?

30 If we have not kept Matenga’s commands, we will be cast away.

31 But all this work was done openly before us, without a price. Amen.
