< Revelation 19 >
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of many people in heaven, saying, Alleluia: Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, to the Lord our God:
Emva kwalezizinto ngasengisizwa ilizwi elikhulu elexuku elikhulu ezulwini, lisithi: Haleluya! Usindiso lobukhosi lodumo lamandla kungokweNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu;
2 For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he hath judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her lewdness, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
ngoba izigwebo zakhe ziqotho zilungile; ngoba usilahlile isifebe esikhulu, esonakalise umhlaba ngobufebe baso, usephindisele igazi lenceku zakhe esandleni saso.
3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. (aiōn )
Basebesithi ngokwesibili: Haleluya! Lentuthu yaso ithunqa kuze kube nini lanini. (aiōn )
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Labadala abangamatshumi amabili lane lezidalwa ezine eziphilayo zawela phansi zakhonza uNkulunkulu ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi zisithi: Ameni! Haleluya!
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Ilizwi laseliphuma livela esihlalweni sobukhosi, lisithi: Mdumiseni uNkulunkulu wethu, lina lonke zinceku zakhe, labamesabayo, labancinyane, labakhulu.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Ngasengisizwa kungathi yilizwi lexuku elikhulu, njalo kungathi ngumdumo wamanzi amanengi, njalo kungathi ngumsindo wemidumo elamandla, kusithi: Haleluya! Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uSomandla uyabusa.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Asithokoze sithabe kakhulu, besesisipha udumo kuye; ngoba umtshado weWundlu usufikile, lomkalo usezilungisele.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Kwasekuphiwa kuye ukuthi embathe ilembu elicolekileyo kakhulu elihlanzekileyo lelikhazimulayo; ngoba ilembu elicolekileyo kakhulu liyikulunga kwabangcwele.
9 And he saith to me, Write, Blessed [are] they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true sayings of God.
Yasisithi kimi: Bhala uthi: Babusisiwe labo ababizelwe ekudleni kwantambama komtshado weWundlu. Yasisithi kimi: La ngamazwi aqotho kaNkulunkulu.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Ngasengiwela phansi enyaweni zayo ukuyikhonza; yasisithi kimi: Qaphela ungakwenzi; ngiyinceku kanye lawe labazalwane bakho abalobufakazi bukaJesu; khonza uNkulunkulu; ngoba ubufakazi bukaJesu bungumoya wesiprofetho.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Ngasengibona izulu livuliwe, khangela-ke ibhiza elimhlophe, loligadileyo ubizwa ngokuthi oThembekileyo loQotho, njalo ngokulunga uyahlulela alwe.
12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Lamehlo akhe afanana lelangabi lomlilo, lekhanda lakhe kulemiqhele eminengi; njalo ulebizo elilotshiweyo, okungelamuntu olaziyo ngaphandle kwakhe,
13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called, The Word of God.
wasesembatha isembatho esicwiliswe egazini; lebizo lakhe libizwa ngokuthi, nguLizwi likaNkulunkulu.
14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Lamabutho ayesezulwini amlandela egade amabhiza amhlophe, embethe ilembu elicolekileyo kakhulu elimhlophe lelihlanzekileyo.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Emlonyeni wakhe kwasekuphuma inkemba ebukhali, ukuze atshaye izizwe ngayo; njalo yena uzazibusa ngentonga yensimbi; yena-ke uzanyathela isikhamelo sevini sewayini lentukuthelo lolaka lukaNkulunkulu uSomandla.
16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Njalo esembathweni lethangazini lakhe ulebizo elibhalwe ukuthi: INKOSI YAMAKHOSI LOMBUSI WABABUSI.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come, and assemble yourselves to the supper of the great God;
Ngasengibona ingilosi eyodwa imi elangeni; yasimemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, isithi enyonini zonke eziphaphayo phakathi laphakathi kwezulu: Wozani libuthaniswe ekudleni kwantambama kukaNkulunkulu omkhulu,
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men], [both] free and bond, both small and great.
ukuze lidle inyama yamakhosi, lenyama yenduna ezinkulu, lenyama yabalamandla, lenyama yamabhiza leyabagadi bawo, lenyama yabo bonke, abakhululekileyo kanye labayizigqili, labancinyane labakhulu.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, assembled to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Ngasengibona isilo, lamakhosi omhlaba lamabutho awo ebuthanele ukulwa impi laye ogade ibhiza, kanye lebutho lakhe.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Limnē Pyr )
Isilo sasesibanjwa, njalo kanye laso umprofethi wamanga owenza izibonakaliso phambi kwaso, aduhisa ngazo labo ababelophawu lwesilo, lalabo abakhonza umfanekiso waso; labo bobabili baphoselwa bephila echibini lomlilo elivutha isibabule; (Limnē Pyr )
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceedeth out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
labaseleyo babulawa ngenkemba yogade ibhiza, ephuma emlonyeni wakhe; lenyoni zonke zasutha inyama yabo.
