IsAmbulo Esiya KuJohane
21 Ngabona izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha; + ngoba izulu langaphambili nomhlaba wangaphambili kwase kudlulile, + nolwandle + lungasekho. 2 Ngabona nedolobha elingcwele, iJerusalema Elisha, lehla livela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu + futhi lilungiswe njengomakoti ehlobele umyeni wakhe. + 3 Ngemva kwalokho ngezwa izwi elikhulu livela esihlalweni sobukhosi lithi: “Bheka! Itende likaNkulunkulu limi phakathi kwabantu, uyohlala nabo, babe ngabantu bakhe. UNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uyoba nabo. + 4 Uyosula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, + ukufa ngeke kusaba khona, + noma ukulila noma ukukhala noma ubuhlungu ngeke kusaba khona. + Izinto zakudala sezidlulile.”
5 Lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi + wathi: “Bheka! Ngenza konke kube kusha.” + Wathi futhi: “Bhala, ngoba la mazwi athembekile ayiqiniso.” 6 Wathi futhi kimi: “Sekwenzekile! Ngingu-Alfa no-Omega,* isiqalo nesiphetho. + Noma ubani owomile ngiyomphuzisa emthonjeni* wamanzi okuphila mahhala. *+ 7 Onqobayo uyozuza lezi zinto, futhi ngiyoba nguNkulunkulu wakhe yena abe yindodana yami. 8 Kodwa amagwala nabangenalo ukholo + nabanyanyekayo ngenxa yokungcola kwabo nababulali, + nabaziphatha kabi ngokocansi, *+ nabasebenzelana nemimoya, nabakhonza izithombe, nabo bonke abaqambimanga, + isabelo sabo siyoba sechibini elivutha umlilo nesibabule. + Lokhu kusho ukufa kwesibili.” +
9 Kwabe sekuza enye yezingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezazinezitsha eziyisikhombisa ezazigcwele izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, + yathi kimi: “Woza, ngizokubonisa umakoti, umkaWundlu.” *+ 10 Ngakho yangithwala ngamandla omoya yangiyisa entabeni enkulu nephakeme, yangibonisa idolobha elingcwele, iJerusalema, lehla livela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu, + 11 linenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. + Ukubenyezela kwalo kwakunjengokwetshe eliyigugu kakhulu, njengetshe lejaspi elicwebezela njengekristalu. + 12 Lalinodonga olukhulu noluphakeme, linamasango angu-12, emasangweni kukhona izingelosi ezingu-12, kulawo masango kuqoshwe amagama ezizwe ezingu-12 zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. 13 Empumalanga kwakukhona amasango amathathu, enyakatho kukhona amasango amathathu, eningizimu amasango amathathu nasentshonalanga amasango amathathu. + 14 Udonga lwedolobha lwalunamatshe esisekelo angu-12, kuwo kukhona amagama angu-12 abaphostoli abangu-12 + beWundlu.
15 Leyo ngelosi eyayikhuluma nami yayiphethe umhlanga wegolide wokukala, ukuze ikale idolobha namasango alo nodonga lwalo. + 16 Idolobha liyisikwele, ubude balo bukhulu njengobubanzi balo. Yalikala idolobha ngomhlanga, izinkundla zemidlalo ezingu-12 000;* ubude balo nobubanzi nokuphakama kwalo kuyalingana. 17 Yakala nodonga lwalo, amamitha angaba ngu-64, ngokwesikali somuntu, ngesikhathi esifanayo okuyisikali sengelosi. 18 Udonga lwalwakhiwe ngejaspi, + futhi idolobha laliyigolide elihlanzeke njengengilazi ekhanyayo. 19 Izisekelo zodonga lwedolobha zazihlotshiswe ngazo zonke izinhlobo zamatshe ayigugu: isisekelo sokuqala sasiyijaspi, esesibili siyisafire, esesithathu siyikhalkedoni, esesine siyi-emeraldi, 20 esesihlanu siyisaridonikisi, esesithupha siyisardiyu, esesikhombisa siyikrisolithe, esika-8 siyibherile, esika-9 siyitopazi, eseshumi siyikrisoprasi, esika-11 siyihiyakinte, esika-12 siyi-amethiste. 21 Amasango angu-12 ayengamapharele angu-12; ngalinye lamasango lalenziwe ngepharele elilodwa. Umgwaqo omkhulu wedolobha wawuyigolide elihlanzekile, njengengilazi ekhanya ngale.
22 Angilibonanga ithempeli kulo, ngoba uJehova* uNkulunkulu uMninimandla Onke + uyithempeli lalo, neWundlu nalo liyithempeli. 23 Leli dolobha alilidingi ilanga noma inyanga ukuba kulikhanyise, ngoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu yayilikhanyisile, + futhi isibani salo siyiWundlu. + 24 Izizwe ziyohamba ngokukhanya kwalo + namakhosi omhlaba ayoletha inkazimulo yawo kulo. 25 Amasango alo ngeke avalwe, ngoba kuyoba nemini kuphela, ngeke bube khona ubusuku khona. + 26 Amakhosi ayoletha inkazimulo nodumo lwezizwe kulo. + 27 Kodwa noma yini engcolile nanoma ubani owenza amanyala nokhohlisayo ngeke alokothe angene kulo; + kuyongena kuphela labo ababhalwe emqulwini wokuphila weWundlu. +
