Waiting for the New Year in the City of Jehovah

1 It was the time for the end of her year, so that we would enter the new year of the following day.

2 Very many people had gathered, who had come from the four corners of the earth.

3 Each and every person was crying out for their sins to be wiped away by Matenga .

4 So that we might see ourselves being ushered into the new year.

5 These people were standing up and preaching; it was very awe-inspiring.

6 Saying, “Matenga , please usher us into your new year, having washed away all our sins.”

7 “Let us leave behind adultery, stealing, witchcraft, lust, gossip, telling lies, and all such things, so that we may also enter her new year.”

8 Then the people cried out, saying, “If there is anything I have done wrong among these things, may Matenga wipe it away.”

9 “So that I may see myself being ushered into tomorrow's new year.”

10 When it became 12 midnight and the time had arrived, the Evangelist said, “The time has come; let each person pray for themselves.”

11 When those moments arrived, the bell was rung, and immediately the people were seized by power .

12 Then some began to celebrate, saying, “We are now in the new year.”

13 This is not human knowledge, but the life of Matenga alone.
