Chiunukuko 12
1 Nipele, chimanyisyo chakusimosya chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni jwankongwe jwambwechekwe lyuŵa ni lwesi pa sajo syakwe, ni pantwe pakwe paliji ni chindu mpela singwa jajikolochekwe ni ndondwa kumi na mbili.
Isibonakaliso esikhulu lesimangalisayo sabonakala ezulwini: owesifazane egqoke ilanga, inyanga ingaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, umqhele wezinkanyezi ezilitshumi lambili usekhanda lakhe.
2 Nombe jwankongwe jo ŵaliji pa chiilu. Nipele, ŵaliji nkulila ligongo lya kupotekwa ni chilungusi cha kuligopola.
Wayezithwele njalo ekhala ngobuhlungu bomhelo ngoba wayesezabeletha.
3 Chimanyisyo chine chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni lijoka lyekulungwa lyechejeu, lyana mitwe saba ni misengo likumi. Pantwe wauli wose paliji ni chindu mpela singwa.
Kwabuya kwabonakala esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini: umgobho omkhulukazi obomvu olamakhanda ayisikhombisa lempondo ezilitshumi kanye lemiqhele eyisikhombisa emakhanda awo.
4 Nchila wa lijoka lila, ukujiuta liunjili limo mwa maunjili gatatu ga ndondwa sya kwiunde ni kusiponya pa chilambo. Lijoka lyekulungwa lila lyajimi paujo pa jwankongwe jula juŵaliji chile kuŵeleka kuti nkuŵeleka pe, akamile kanache kakwe.
Umsila wawo wakhucula ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi emkhathini waziphosela emhlabeni. Umgobho wema phambi kowesifazane owayesezabeletha ukuze kuthi umntwana angazalwa uhle umtshwabadele.
5 Nipele jwankongwe jo ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume, juŵaŵichikwe chile kuti ŵalamule ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose kwa nkongojo wa chisyano. Mwanache jo ŵanyakulikwe ni kunjausya kwa Akunnungu, pa chitengu chao cha umwenye.
Wazala indodana, “eyayizabusa izizwe zonke ngentonga yensimbi.” Umntanakhe wahluthunelwa phezulu kuNkulunkulu lasesihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.
6 Jwankongwe jula ŵautuchile kwiuto kwangali ŵandu. Liuto liŵampanganyichisye Akunnungu kuti agosekwe kweleko, kwa moŵa elufu moja mia mbili ni sitini.
Owesifazane wabalekela enkangala endaweni ayeyilungiselwe nguNkulunkulu lapho ayezagcinakala khona okwensuku eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisithupha.
7 Nipele, kwaliji ni ngondo kwinani. Che Mikaeli, katumetume jwankulu jwa kwinani ni achikatumetume achinjakwe ŵa kwinani ŵamenyene ni lijoka lila, lijoka lila pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe lyamenyene nawo.
Kwaba lempi ezulwini. UMikhayeli lezingilosi zakhe balwa lomgobho kwathi umgobho kanye lezingilosi zawo lawo walwa labo.
8 Nambo lijoka lila ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ŵaputikwe, nipele ŵatopolekwe kwinani.
Kodwa wawungelamandla kangako njalo wona lezingilosi zawo balahlekelwa yindawo yabo ezulwini.
9 Lijoka lyalikulungwa lila, lyaponyekwe paasa. Lyele ni lijoka lya kalakala lyalikuwilanjikwa Jwachigongomalo pane Shetani, jwakwalambusya ŵandu ŵa chilambo chose. Jwaponyekwe pachilambo, pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe wose.
Umgobho omkhulu waphoselwa phansi, inyoka leyana endala ethiwa ngoMubi loba uSathane odukisa umhlaba wonke. Waphoselwa emhlabeni ekanye lezingilosi zakhe.
10 Nipele napilikene liloŵe lyalikulungwa kwinani lichitiji, “Sambano ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu uiche! Sambano ukulupusyo uiche ni machili ni umwenye wa Akunnungu ŵetu ni ulamusi wa Kilisito jwasagulikwe aŵe Jwakuwombola! Pakuŵa ajula jwakwaŵechetela achalongo achinjetu paujo pa Akunnungu aponyekwe paasi. Jwelejo akwaŵechetela muusi ni chilo.
Ngasengisizwa ilizwi elikhulu ezulwini lisithi: “Khathesi ukusindiswa sekufikile lamandla kanye lombuso kaNkulunkulu wethu kanye lobukhosi bukaKhristu wakhe. Ngoba umangaleli wabazalwane bethu, obamangalelayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu emini lebusuku, usephoselwe phansi.
11 Achalongo achinjetu wo ŵampundile Shetani kwa machili ga miasi ja Mwanangondolo ni kwa kwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni nkati chikulupi chao ku Che Yesu. Nganaunonyela umi wao, ŵaliji chile kuutyosya mpaka kuwa.
Bamnqobile ngegazi leWundlu langelizwi lobufakazi babo; kabakuthandanga kakhulu ukuphila kwabo ukuba besabe ukufa.
12 Kwayele, nsengwe mmwe kwinani ni wose ŵakutama mwelemo. Nambo, ulaje kwa chilambo ni bahali, pakuŵa Ibilisi antuluchile ali ni lutumbilo lwalukulungwa, pakuŵa akumanyilila kuti gaasigalile moŵa kanandipe.”
Ngakho-ke, thokozani lina mazulu kanye lani elihlala kuwo! Kodwa maye kuwo umhlaba lolwandle ngoba omubi useze phansi kini! Ugcwele intukuthelo ngoba uyakwazi ukuthi isikhathi sakhe sifitshane.”
13 Lijoka lyo palyaimanyilile kuti liponyekwe paasi pa chilambo, lyatandite kummutusya jwankongwe juŵambeleche mwanache jwannume jula.
Kwathi umgobho ubona ukuthi wawusuphoselwe emhlabeni wamdinga owesifazane owayebelethe umntwana wesilisa.
14 Nambo jwankongwe jula ŵapegwile mapapiko gaŵili nti ga kapungu jwankulungwa, kuti akombole kuguluka mpaka mwipululu, kwiuto kuchagosekwe uchenene, kuti agosekwe kwa yaka itatu ni miesi sita, kwati lijoka lila ngalikombola kwika.
Owesifazane lowo wayephiwe amaphiko amabili okhozi olukhulu ukuze andizele endaweni ayilungiselwayo enkangala lapho ayezagcinwa khona okwesikhathi lezikhathi lengxenye yesikhathi lapho inyoka eyayingeke ifike khona.
15 Ni lyele lijoka lyakopwesye meesi gamajinji kutyochela mu kang'wa mwakwe mpela lusulo, kuti gankumbe jwankongwe jo.
Inyoka yasikhupha amanzi emlonyeni wayo angathi ngumfula ukuze ifice owesifazane imkhucule ngesikhukhula.
16 Nambo litaka lyankamwisye jwankongwe jo, litaka lyaunukwiche mpela kang'wa ni kugamila meesi gagakopweche nkang'wa mwa lijoka.
Kodwa umhlaba wasiza owesifazane ngokuvula umlomo wawo wasuginya umfula owawukhutshwe ngumgobho emlonyeni wawo.
17 Lijoka lyantumbilile jwankongwe jula, lyajawile kukumenyana ni iŵelesi ine ya jwankongwe jo, yaani ŵakugajitichisya makanyo ga Akunnungu ni ŵakuukamulichisya umboni nkati usyene wausasile Che Yesu.
Ngakho-ke, umgobho wamthukuthelela owesifazane wasusuka usiyakulwa impi lenzalo yonke yowesifazane, labo abagcina imilayo kaNkulunkulu bebambelele kubo ubufakazi bukaJesu. Umgobho wema okhunjini lolwandle.
