Sembulo Lesembulelwa Johane
21 Ngabona lizulu lelisha nemhlaba lomusha;+ ngobe lizulu lelidzala nemhlaba lomdzala sekwendlulile,+ nelwandle+ alusekho. 2 Ngabona lidolobha lelingcwele, lokuyiJerusalema Lensha, lehla ezulwini livela kuNkulunkulu,+ lilungiswe njengamakoti ahlotjiselwe umkhwenyane.+ 3 Ngemuva kwaloko ngeva livi lelikhulu livela esihlalweni sebukhosi litsi: “Nalo lithende laNkulunkulu likanye nebantfu, Nkulunkulu uyawuhlala nabo, bona babe bantfu bakhe, futsi Nkulunkulu uyawuba nabo.+ 4 Uyakwesula tonkhe tinyembeti emehlweni abo,+ kufa ngeke kusaba khona,+ futsi kulila, nekukhala kanye nebuhlungu ngeke kusaba khona.+ Tintfo letindzala setendlulile.”
5 Loyo lohleti esihlalweni sebukhosi+ watsi: “Ngenta tonkhe tintfo tibe tinsha.”+ Waphindze watsi: “Bhala ngobe lamavi etsembekile futsi aliciniso.” 6 Wabuye watsi kimi: “Sekwentekile! Mine ngingu-Alfa na-Omega,* sicalo nesiphetfo.+ Nobe ngubani lowomile ngitamnatsisa mahhala emtfonjeni wemanti ekuphila.+ 7 Wonkhe umuntfu loncobako utatitfola letintfo, mine ngitawuba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, yena abe yindvodzana yami. 8 Kodvwa emagwala, labangakholwa,+ labenyanyekako ngenca yekungcola kwabo, babulali,+ tingwadla,*+ labasebentelana nemimoya, labakhonta tithico, nabo bonkhe labacamba emanga+ batawujikwa echibini lelivutsa umlilo nesibabule.+ Loku kusho kufa kwesibili.”+
9 Lenye yetingilosi letingu-7 lebetiphetse titja letingu-7 letatigcwele tishayo letingu-7 tekugcina,+ yeta kimi yatsi: “Wota ngitokukhombisa makoti, umfati weliWundlu.”+ 10 Ngako yangitsatsa ngemandla emoya yangiyisa entsabeni lenkhulu futsi lephakeme, yafike yangikhombisa lidolobha lelingcwele, lokuyiJerusalema, lelidolobha belehla ezulwini livela kuNkulunkulu,+ 11 futsi linenkhatimulo yaKhe.+ Kukhanya kwalo bekufana nelitje leliligugu kakhulu, njengelitje lejasiphi lelicwebetelisa kwekristalu.+ 12 Belinelubondza lolukhulu futsi loluphakeme kanye nemagede langu-12, kulamagede bekunetingilosi letingu-12, kuwo kubhalwe emabito etive letingu-12 temadvodzana a-Israyeli. 13 Emphumalanga bekunemagede lamatsatfu, enyakatfo bekunemagede lamatsatfu, eningizimu bekunemagede lamatsatfu, kantsi nasenshonalanga bekunemagede lamatsatfu.+ 14 Lolubondza lwalelidolobha beluphindze lube nematje esisekelo langu-12, kuwo bekubhalwe emabito langu-12 ebaphostoli+ beliWundlu labangu-12.
15 Lona lobekakhuluma nami bekaphetse umhlanga weligolide kuze akale lelidolobha, nemagede alo kanye nelubondza lwalo.+ 16 Lelidolobha belisikwele, budze balo bebulingana nebubanti balo. Walikala ngalomhlanga, belingemakhilomitha langaba ngu-2 200;* budze, bubanti kanye nekuphakama kwalo bekulingana. 17 Wakala nelubondza lwalo, belutinyatselo letingu-144* nalukalwa ngesikali semuntfu, lebesifana nesikali sengilosi. 18 Lolubondza belwakhiwe ngejasiphi,+ nalelidolobha liligolide lelicwebetela njengengilazi lokubonakala ngale kwayo. 19 Tisekelo telubondza lwalelidolobha betihlotjiswe ngayo yonkhe inhlobo yematje laligugu: sisekelo sekucala besiyijasiphi, sesibili siyisafire, sesitsatfu siyikhalkedoni, sesine sisimaragidu, 20 sesihlanu siyisadoniksi, sesitfupha siyisadiyu, sesi-7 siyikhrisolithe, sesi-8 siyibherili, sesi-9 siyithophazi, sesi-10 siyikhrisophrasi, sesi-11 siyihiyakinte, kantsi sesi-12 siyi-amethiste. 21 Lamagede langu-12 bekangemapharele langu-12; ligede ngalinye belentiwe ngelipharele linye. Umgwaco lomkhulu walelidolobha bewuligolide lelicwebetela njengengilazi lokubonakala ngale kwayo.
22 Kute lithempeli lengalibona kulelidolobha, ngobe Jehova* Nkulunkulu Somandla+ kanye neliWundlu balithempeli lalo. 23 Lelidolobha alilidzingi lilanga nobe inyeti kutsi kulikhanyisele, ngobe inkhatimulo yaNkulunkulu ilikhanyisele,+ nesibane salo liWundlu.+ 24 Tive titawuhamba ekukhanyeni+ kwalelidolobha, nemakhosi emhlaba atalikhatimulisa. 25 Emagede alo ngeke avalwe sanhlobo emini, ngobe kutawuba bete busuku.+ 26 Kulo kutawuletfwa inkhatimulo neludvumo lwetive.+ 27 Nobe yini lengcolile, nanobe ngubani lowenta lokwenyanyekako nalokhohlisako ngeke aze angene kulo;+ kutawungena kuphela labo lababhalwe kulomculu wekuphila weliWundlu.+
