IsAmbulo Esiya KuJohane 22:1-21
22 Yangibonisa umfula wamanzi okuphila, + ucwebe njengekristalu, ugeleza uvela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu *+
2 wehla maphakathi nomgwaqo omkhulu wedolobha. Nganeno komfula nangaphesheya kwakukhona izihlahla zokuphila zithela izithelo ezingu-12, zithela izithelo zazo inyanga ngayinye. Amaqabunga alezi zihlahla ayengawokwelapha izizwe. +
3 Ngeke kusaba khona noma yisiphi isiqalekiso. Kodwa isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu + siyoba sedolobheni, futhi izinceku zakhe ziyonikela kuye inkonzo engcwele;
4 ziyobubona ubuso bakhe + negama lakhe liyoba seziphongweni zazo. *+
5 Ubusuku ngeke busaba khona, + azikudingi nokukhanya kwesibani noma kwelanga, ngoba uJehova* uNkulunkulu uyozikhanyisela, + ziyobusa njengamakhosi kuze kube phakade naphakade. +
6 Yathi kimi: “La mazwi athembekile futhi ayiqiniso; + yebo, uJehova* uNkulunkulu owaphefumulela abaprofethi, + uthume ingelosi yakhe ukuba ibonise izinceku zakhe izinto okumelwe zenzeke ngokushesha.
7 Bheka! Ngiyeza masinyane. + Uyajabula umuntu ogcina amazwi esiprofetho salo mqulu.” +
8 Nokho mina Johane, yimi engangizwa futhi ngibona lezi zinto. Lapho sengizizwile futhi sengizibonile, ngawa phansi ezinyaweni zengelosi eyayingibonisa lezi zinto ukuba ngikhuleke.
9 Kodwa yathi kimi: “Qaphela! Ungakwenzi lokho! Ngimane nje ngiyinceku kanye nawe nabafowenu abaprofethi nalabo abagcina amazwi alo mqulu. Khulekela uNkulunkulu.” +
10 Yathi futhi kimi: “Ungawavali ngophawu amazwi esiprofetho salo mqulu, ngoba isikhathi esibekiwe siseduze.
11 Ongalungile makaqhubeke enza ukungalungi; ongcolile makaqhubeke nokungcola kwakhe; kodwa olungile makaqhubeke enza ukulunga, ongcwele makaqhubeke ebungcweleni bakhe.
12 “ ‘Bheka! Ngiyeza masinyane, ngiphethe umvuzo engiwunikezayo, ukuze nginikeze ngamunye ngokomsebenzi wakhe. +
13 Ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, *+ owokuqala nowokugcina, isiqalo nesiphetho.
14 Bayajabula abawasha izingubo zabo, + ukuze babe negunya lokuya ezihlahleni zokuphila + bangene nasedolobheni ngamasango alo. +
15 Ngaphandle kukhona izinja* nalabo abasebenzelana nemimoya nabaziphatha kabi ngokocansi* nababulali nabakhonza izithombe nawo wonke umuntu othanda ukukhohlisa nokuqamba amanga.’ +
16 “ ‘Mina, Jesu, ngathuma ingelosi yami ukuba ifakaze kini ngalezi zinto ukuze kuzuze amabandla. Ngiyimpande nenzalo kaDavide, + nenkanyezi yokusa ekhanyayo.’ ” +
17 Umoya nomakoti + bathi, “Woza!” noma ubani ozwayo makathi, “Woza!” noma ubani owomile makeze; + nanoma ubani othandayo makathathe amanzi okuphila mahhala. +
18 “Ngifakaza kuwo wonke umuntu ozwa amazwi esiprofetho salo mqulu: Uma umuntu enezela kulezi zinto, + uNkulunkulu uyonezela kuye izinhlupho ezibhalwe kulo mqulu; +
19 uma umuntu esusa noma yini emazwini omqulu walesi siprofetho, uNkulunkulu uyosusa isabelo sakhe ezihlahleni zokuphila + nasedolobheni elingcwele, + okukhulunywa ngakho kulo mqulu.
20 “Lowo ofakaza ngalezi zinto uthi, ‘Yebo, ngiyeza masinyane.’ ” +
“Amen! Woza, Nkosi Jesu.”
21 Kwangathi umusa omkhulu weNkosi uJesu ungaba nabangcwele.
