ISityhilelo Esiya KuYohane
5 Ndabona kwisandla sasekunene saLowo uhleli etroneni+ umsongo obhalwe macala,* uvalwe ngokupheleleyo ngezitampu ezisixhenxe. 2 Yaye ndabona ingelosi eyomeleleyo ikhwaza ngelizwi elikhulu isithi: “Ngubani ofanelekayo ukuwuvula umsongo aze asuse nezitampu ezikuwo?” 3 Kodwa akukho mntu ezulwini okanye emhlabeni okanye phantsi komhlaba owayekwazi ukuwuvula umsongo okanye ukuwujonga aze awufunde. 4 Ndaza ndalila kakhulu ngenxa yokuba kungekho mntu ufunyanwayo owayekufanelekela ukuwuvula loo msongo okanye ukuwujonga aze awufunde. 5 Kodwa omnye wabadala wathi kum: “Sukulila. Jonga! INgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda,+ ingcambu+ kaDavide,+ yoyisile+ ukuze iwuvule umsongo nezitampu zawo ezisixhenxe.”
6 Ndaphinda ndabona phakathi kwetrone nezidalwa eziphilayo ezine naphakathi kwabadala+ imvana*+ eyayingathi ixheliwe,+ ineempondo ezisixhenxe namehlo asixhenxe. Loo mehlo amela oomoya abasixhenxe bakaThixo+ abaye bathunyelwa emhlabeni wonke. 7 Ngoko yeza, yawuthatha esandleni sasekunene saLowo uhleli etroneni.+ 8 Yathi yakuwuthatha umsongo, izidalwa eziphilayo ezine nabadala abayi-24+ baguqa phambi kweMvana,* yaye umdala ngamnye wayephethe uhadi nesitya segolide esasizele sisiqhumiso esiqholiweyo. (Isiqhumiso esiqholiweyo simela imithandazo yabo bangcwele.)+ 9 Emva koko bacula ingoma entsha,+ besithi: “Ukufanele ukuthatha umsongo uze uwuvule nezitampu zawo, kuba waxhelwa waza ngegazi lakho wathengela uThixo abantu+ kuzo zonke izizwe, iilwimi, abantu neentlanga,+ 10 wabenza ookumkani+ nababingeleli bakaThixo wethu,+ yaye baza kuba ngookumkani+ phezu komhlaba.”
11 Ndabona ndaza ndeva ilizwi leengelosi ezininzi ezijikeleze itrone nezidalwa eziphilayo nabadala, yaye inani lazo lalingamashumi amawaka aphindwe ngamashumi amawaka namawaka amawaka,+ 12 yaye zazisithi ngelizwi elikhulu: “IMvana* eyaxhelwayo+ ikufanele ukufumana amandla, ubutyebi, ubulumko, ukomelela, imbeko, uzuko nentsikelelo.”+
13 Ndaza ndaziva zonke izidalwa ezisezulwini nezisemhlabeni nezingaphantsi komhlaba+ neziselwandle, nazo zonke izinto ezikuzo, zisithi: “Lowo uhleli etroneni+ neMvana,*+ mabadunyiswe, bafumane imbeko,+ uzuko namandla ngonaphakade kanaphakade.”+ 14 Izidalwa eziphilayo ezine zathi: “Amen!” nabadala baguqa phantsi bakhonza uThixo.
