ISambulo KuJohane
22 Yasingitshengisa umfula wamanzi okuphila+ ayecengeke njengekhristali. Ayegeleza evela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu leseMvana,+ 2 esehlela phakathi laphakathi komgwaqo omkhulu wedolobho. Emaceleni womabili omfula lo kwakulezihlahla zokuphila ezazithela izithelo okwezikhathi ezilitshumi lambili ngomnyaka, zithela izithelo zazo inyanga ngayinye. Amahlamvu ezihlahla lezo ayengawokwelapha izizwe.+
3 Akusoze kuphinde kube khona loba yisiphi isiqalekiso. Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu leseMvana+ sizakuba sedolobheni lelo njalo izinceku zakhe zizamenzela inkonzo engcwele. 4 Zizabubona ubuso bakhe+ njalo ibizo lakhe lizakuba semabunzini azo.+ 5 Akusoze kuphinde kube lobusuku+ futhi kazisoze zikudinge ukukhanya kwesibane loba ukukhanya kwelanga ngoba uJehova* uNkulunkulu uzazikhanyisela+ njalo zizakuba ngamakhosi zibuse kuze kube nini lanini.+
6 Yathi kimi: “Amazwi la athembekile futhi aliqiniso.+ UJehova* uNkulunkulu owaphefumulela abaphrofethi+ useyithumile sibili ingilosi yakhe ukuthi itshengise izinceku zakhe izinto okumele zenzakale masinyane. 7 Khangela! Ngiyeza masinyane.+ Loba ngubani olandela amazwi esiphrofetho esisencwadinimgoqwa le uyathokoza.”+
8 Mina Johane yimi engangisizwa izinto lezi futhi ngizibona. Ngathi sengizizwile njalo sengizibonile, ngawela phansi enyaweni zengilosi ukuze ngiyikhonze ingilosi leyo eyayingitshengisa izinto lezi. 9 Kodwa yathi kimi: “Nanzelela! Ungakwenzi lokho! Mina ngiyinceku nje esebenza lawe labafowenu abangabaphrofethi kanye lalabo abalandela amazwi akulincwadimgoqwa. Khonza uNkulunkulu.”+
10 Yaphinda yathi kimi: “Ungawavali ngophawu amazwi esiphrofetho esisencwadinimgoqwa le ngoba isikhathi esibekiweyo sesiseduze. 11 Ongalunganga kaqhubeke esenza okungalunganga, longcolileyo aqhubeke esekungcoleni kwakhe kodwa olungileyo kaqhubeke esenza okulungileyo, longcwele aqhubeke esebungcweleni.
12 “‘Khangela! Ngiyeza masinyane njalo ngilomvuzo engizawupha abantu, ngizabuyisela umuntu ngamunye kusiya ngomsebenzi wakhe.+ 13 Mina ngingu-Alfa lo-Omega,*+ ngingowokuqala lowokucina, isiqalo lesiphetho. 14 Bayathokoza labo abawatsha izembatho zabo+ ukuze babe lelungelo lokuya ezihlahleni zokuphila+ njalo bangene edolobheni ngamagedi alo.+ 15 Phandle kulezinja,* labasebenzelana lamadimoni, lezifebe* lababulali, labakhonza izithombe kanye labo bonke abathanda amanga futhi abalomkhuba wokuqamba amanga.’+
16 “‘Mina Jesu ngathuma ingilosi yami ukuthi izofakaza kini izinto lezi eziya emabandleni. Ngiyimpande kaDavida njalo ngiyinzalo yakhe+ futhi ngiyindonsakusa ekhazimulayo.’”+
17 Umoya lomakoti+ baqhubeka besithi, “Woza!” njalo loba ngubani ozwayo kathi, “Woza!” Loba ngubani owomileyo keze+ njalo loba ngubani ofisayo kathathe amanzi okuphila mahala.+
18 “Ngifakaza emuntwini wonke ozwa amazwi esiphrofetho sencwadimgoqwa le: Loba ngubani ongezelela ezintweni lezi,+ uNkulunkulu uzakwengezelela kuye inhlupho ezibhalwe encwadinimgoqwa le+ 19 futhi nxa umuntu engasusa loba yini emazwini encwadimgoqwa yesiphrofetho lesi, uNkulunkulu uzasusa isabelo sakhe ezihlahleni zokuphila+ lasedolobheni elingcwele.+ Izinto lezo zibhaliwe encwadinimgoqwa le.
20 “Ofakaza izinto lezi uthi, ‘Ngiyeza masinyane.’”
“Ameni! Woza Nkosi Jesu.”
21 Umusa omkhulu weNkosi uJesu kawube labangcwele.
