ISityhilelo Esiya KuYohane
22 Yandibonisa umlambo wamanzi obomi+ acwenge ngeyona ndlela, uphuma kwitrone kaThixo neyeMvana,*+ 2 usihla embindini wesitrato esikhulu sesixeko. Macala omabini alo mlambo kwakukho imithi yobomi eneentlobo eziyi-12 zeziqhamo, ivelisa iziqhamo nyanga nganye. Amagqabi aloo mithi ayengawokuphilisa iintlanga.+
3 Akuzukuphinda kubekho siqalekiso, kodwa itrone kaThixo neyeMvana*+ iza kuba kweso sixeko, namakhoboka akhe aza kumenzela imisebenzi engcwele. 4 Aza kububona ubuso bakhe,+ ibe igama lakhe liza kubhalwa emabunzini awo.+ 5 Buza kuphela nobusuku,+ ibe awazukudinga sibane okanye kukhanya kwelanga, kuba uYehova* uThixo uza kuwakhanyisela,+ yaye aza kuba ngookumkani ngonaphakade kanaphakade.+
6 Yathi kum: “La mazwi athembekile yaye ayinyaniso.+ UYehova* uThixo owaphefumlela abaprofeti,+ uthumele ingelosi yakhe ukuba ibonise amakhoboka akhe izinto ezimele zenzeke kungekudala. 7 Jonga! ndiza kukhawuleza ndize.+ Wonwabile nabani na owathobelayo amazwi esiprofeto alo msongo.”+
8 Ndim, mna Yohane owazivayo nowazibonayo ezi zinto. Emva kokuba ndizivile ndaza ndazibona, ndaqubuda phantsi ezinyaweni zengelosi eyayindibonisa ezi zinto ukuze ndiyikhonze. 9 Kodwa yathi kum: “Lumka! Ungayenzi loo nto! Ndilikhoboka njengawe nabazalwana bakho abangabaprofeti nanjengabo bathobela amazwi alo msongo. Khonza uThixo.”+
10 Yaphinda yathi kum: “Sukuwavala amazwi esiprofeto salo msongo, kuba ixesha elibekiweyo lisondele. 11 Umntu ongelolungisa makaqhubeke engelolungisa, nomntu onyhukunyhuku makaqhubeke nobunyhukunyhuku bakhe, kodwa umntu olilungisa makaqhubeke esenza ubulungisa, nalowo ungcwele makaqhubeke engcwele.
12 “‘Jonga! Ndiza kukhawuleza ndize, ukuze ndivuze ngamnye ngokwemisebenzi yakhe.+ 13 NdinguAlfa no-Omega,*+ owokuqala nowokugqibela, isiqalo nesiphelo. 14 Bonwabile abo bayihlambayo imiwunduzo yabo,+ kuba baza kunikwa igunya lokuya kwimithi yobomi+ baze bangene esixekweni ngeegeyithi zaso.+ 15 Ngaphandle kwesi sixeko zizinja,* ngabo basebenzelana nemimoya, abo baziphatha kakubi ngesondo,* ababulali, abantu abakhonza izithixo naye wonke umntu othanda ukuxoka.’+
16 “‘Mna Yesu ndathuma ingelosi yam ukuba ingqine kuni ngezi zinto emabandleni. Mna ndiyingcambu nenzala kaDavide,+ nekhwezi eliqaqambileyo.’”+
17 Umoya nomtshakazi+ bathi: “Yiza!” Nabani na ovayo makathi: “Yiza!” nabani na onxaniweyo makeze.+ Nabani na ofunayo makasele amanzi obomi mahala.+
18 “Ndithi kubo bonke abantu abawevayo amazwi esiprofeto alo msongo: Ukuba nabani na uyongeza kwezi zinto,+ uThixo uza kumongezela izibetho ezibhalwe kuwo.+ 19 Ukuba nabani na ususa nantoni na kumazwi omsongo wesi siprofeto, uThixo uza kusisusa isahlulo saloo mntu emithini yobomi+ nakwisixeko esingcwele,+ zinto ezo ekubhalwe ngazo kulo msongo.
20 “Umntu othetha ezi zinto uthi, ‘Ndiyeza ngokukhawuleza.’”+
“Amen! Yiza, Nkosi uYesu.”
21 Kwanga iNkosi uYesu Kristu ingabenzela ububele* abo bangcwele.
