Isambulo 15

1 Ngasengibona esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini esikhulu lesimangalisayo, ingilosi eziyisikhombisa zilezinhlupheko eziyisikhombisa zokucina, ngoba lwapheleliswa kulezo ulaka lukaNkulunkulu.

Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven final plagues, because with them the wrath of God is completed.

2 Ngasengibona okungathi lulwandle lwengilazi luxubene lomlilo, lalabo abanqobe isilo lomfanekiso waso lophawu lwaso, lenombolo yebizo laso, bemi phezu kolwandle lwengilazi, belamachacho kaNkulunkulu,

I also saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had overcome the image, the beast himself, and the number of his name were standing by the sea of glass, holding the harps of God.

3 basebehlabela ingoma kaMozisi inceku kaNkulunkulu lengoma yeWundlu, besithi: Mikhulu njalo iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho, Nkosi Nkulunkulu Somandla, zilungile ziqotho indlela zakho, Nkosi yabangcwele.

They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are yoʋr works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are yoʋr ways, O King of the nations!

4 Ngubani ongayikukwesaba, Nkosi, abesedumisa ibizo lakho? ngoba nguwe wedwa ongcwele; ngoba izizwe zonke zizakuza zidumise phambi kwakho; ngoba izenzo zakho zokulunga zibonakalisiwe.

Who could not fear yoʋ, O Lord, and glorify yoʋr name? For yoʋ alone are holy. All will come and worship before yoʋ, for yoʋr righteous acts have been revealed.”

5 Emva kwalezizinto ngasengibona, khangela-ke, sekuvulwe ithempeli lethabhanekele lobufakazi ezulwini;

After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent of witness in heaven was opened,

6 kwasekuphuma ethempelini lezi ingilosi eziyisikhombisa zilezinhlupheko eziyisikhombisa, zembethe ilembu elihlanzekileyo elikhazimulayo, njalo zibotshwe izifuba ngamaqhele egolide;

and out came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were clothed in pure bright linen, with golden sashes wrapped around their chests.

7 lesinye sezidalwa ezine eziphilayo sanika ingilosi eziyisikhombisa imiganu yegolide eyisikhombisa, igcwele ulaka lukaNkulunkulu, ophila kuze kube nini lanini. (aiōn g165)

Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. (aiōn g165)

8 Lethempeli lagcwaliswa intuthu evela ebukhosini bukaNkulunkulu, lemandleni akhe; njalo kwakungekho owayengangena ethempelini, kuze kuphele izinhlupheko eziyisikhombisa zengilosi eziyisikhombisa.

And the temple was filled with the smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
