Isambulo 12
1 Isibonakaliso esikhulu lesimangalisayo sabonakala ezulwini: owesifazane egqoke ilanga, inyanga ingaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, umqhele wezinkanyezi ezilitshumi lambili usekhanda lakhe.
Hwawabhaje hwabhoneha amwanya: ashe akwinshiwe nisanya, alinomwezi pansi yemanama gakwe; netaji eye ntondwe olingo limo nazibhele yali pamwanya pitwe lyakwe.
2 Wayezithwele njalo ekhala ngobuhlungu bomhelo ngoba wayesezabeletha.
Ali nolwanda na alialila nabhawa—aje apape akhetwe aje apape.
3 Kwabuya kwabonakala esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini: umgobho omkhulukazi obomvu olamakhanda ayisikhombisa lempondo ezilitshumi kanye lemiqhele eyisikhombisa emakhanda awo.
Ohwabhele hwabha hwabhoneshe amwanya: Enya! Hwali noguzoha ogusha mwamu igosi lyashele lyali namatwe saba nempeta ilongo limo, hali netaji saba humatwe gakwe.
4 Umsila wawo wakhucula ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi emkhathini waziphosela emhlabeni. Umgobho wema phambi kowesifazane owayesezabeletha ukuze kuthi umntwana angazalwa uhle umtshwabadele.
Oswiha lwakwe lwakhete etheluthi emo eye ntondwe amwanya nazitaje pansi pensi. Oguzoha gwahemeleye witagalila, eyashe yali apalamiye apape, aje wakati na papa amile omwana wakwe.
5 Wazala indodana, “eyayizabusa izizwe zonke ngentonga yensimbi.” Umntanakhe wahluthunelwa phezulu kuNkulunkulu lasesihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.
Apepe omwana, oweshi lume, yashele abha tabhale ensizyonti hundesa eijela. Omwana wakwe wavuutwa amwanya hwa Ngolobhe hwitengo elye umwene,
6 Owesifazane wabalekela enkangala endaweni ayeyilungiselwe nguNkulunkulu lapho ayezagcinakala khona okwensuku eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisithupha.
neshe anyililie huisengo, pashele Ongolobhe ali alengenye pieneo kwa sababu yamwene aje ahudumiwe ensiku 1, 260.
7 Kwaba lempi ezulwini. UMikhayeli lezingilosi zakhe balwa lomgobho kwathi umgobho kanye lezingilosi zawo lawo walwa labo.
Eshi hweli nibho amwanya. O Mikaeli na antumi bhakwe bhakhomene nola enzoha; wape onzola ogosi na antumi bhakwe bhakhomana nabho.
8 Kodwa wawungelamandla kangako njalo wona lezingilosi zawo balahlekelwa yindawo yabo ezulwini.
Lelo onzoha sagaline nguvu. Ezyamene hagapahabha nenafasi amwanya kwaajili yakwe nantumi bhakwe.
9 Umgobho omkhulu waphoselwa phansi, inyoka leyana endala ethiwa ngoMubi loba uSathane odukisa umhlaba wonke. Waphoselwa emhlabeni ekanye lezingilosi zakhe.
Joka mkubwa—yule nyoka hudanganya - dunia nzima akatupwa chini katika dunia, na malaika zake wakatupwa chini pamoja naye.
10 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.
Shesho nonvwa esauti engosi afume amwanya: “Eshi olokoole wenzele, enguvu—no umwene wa Ngolobhe wetu, na madalaka ga Kilisiti wakwe. Afwatane oshitaka owaholo bhetu aponyizewe pansi —yashele abhatakile witagalila wa Ngolobhe wetu pasanya no siku.
11 Bamnqobile ngegazi leWundlu langelizwi lobufakazi babo; kabakuthandanga kakhulu ukuphila kwabo ukuba besabe ukufa.
Bhamenile hwidanda elya Mwanangole na hwizu elya ohushuda wabho, kwa maana sebhagene sana amaisha gabho, paka afwe.
12 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.”
Hwesho, shanjililaji, namwe emwanya, mwenti mwamkhala mhati yakwe. Lelo palwabho pansi ne nsumbi afwataneje obhibhi ayishila hulimwe. Ali ni lyoyo ikhali, afwatanaje amenye aje alinensiku ndodo wene.
13 Kwathi umgobho ubona ukuthi wawusuphoselwe emhlabeni wamdinga owesifazane owayebelethe umntwana wesilisa.
Nashele onzoha ahamanya aje atajilwe pansi pensi, alondozezye washe yashele aliapepe omwana oweshilume.
14 Owesifazane lowo wayephiwe amaphiko amabili okhozi olukhulu ukuze andizele endaweni ayilungiselwayo enkangala lapho ayezagcinwa khona okwesikhathi lezikhathi lengxenye yesikhathi lapho inyoka eyayingeke ifike khona.
Lelo oshe apewilwe amapiho gabhele ege nsimla engosi, aje awezye alushe paka wieneo lyalya bhewelwe hani huji ya wene hula wisengo ieneo lyashele handawezize awutwe, hu wakati ne nyakati ne nusu wakati pamo pashele sawezizye afishe oyo onzoha.
15 Inyoka yasikhupha amanzi emlonyeni wayo angathi ngumfula ukuze ifice owesifazane imkhucule ngesikhukhula.
Onzoha ahitile amenze afume hwilamu lyakwe nashi isoho, aje abheshe amakhabha agahumwisye.
16 Kodwa umhlaba wasiza owesifazane ngokuvula umlomo wawo wasuginya umfula owawukhutshwe ngumgobho emlonyeni wawo.
Lelo inkondi lyamwavwizye oshe. Ehigue ilomu lyakwe na amile isoho lyaswiye onzoha afume mwilomu lyakwe.
17 Ngakho-ke, umgobho wamthukuthelela owesifazane wasusuka usiyakulwa impi lenzalo yonke yowesifazane, labo abagcina imilayo kaNkulunkulu bebambelele kubo ubufakazi bukaJesu. Umgobho wema okhunjini lolwandle.
Shesho onzoha wavitiwa oshe wape asogoye abhombe ibho nabhe mpapo bhakwe bhonti—bhala bhabha hwogopa endajizyo ezya Ngolobhe na akhatalile endajizyo ezya Yesu.
