1 Ngasengibona izulu elitsha lomhlaba omutsha; ngoba izulu lokuqala lomhlaba wokuqala kwasekudlulile, lolwandle lungasekho.
Okumala nindola lwile luyaya ne chalo chiyaya, kulwo kubha olwile lwo kwamba ne chalo cho kwamba ebhyo bhyalabhilio, inyanja itabheyeo lindi.
2 Mina Johane ngasengibona umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema entsha, usehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwini, ulungisiwe njengomakoti ececiselwe umkakhe.
Ningulola omusi omwelu, Iyelusalemu nyaya, gunu gwekile okusoka mulwile kwa Nyamuanga, gunu guchuma chumile lwo mwenga unu ananikilwe kwo okulubhana no mulume waye.
3 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi elikhulu livela ezulwini, lisithi: Khangela, ithabhanekele likaNkulunkulu lisebantwini, njalo uzahlala labo, futhi bona bazakuba ngabantu bakhe, loNkulunkulu uqobo uzakuba labo, enguNkulunkulu wabo;
Ninungwa obhulaka bhunene okusoka ku chitebhe cho bhutungi niyaika ati, “Lola! Obhwikalo bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli amwi na bhana munu, no mwene kalama amwi nabho. Abhabha bhanu bhaye, no mwene Nyamuanga omwene kabha amwi nabho na kabha Nyamuanga webhwe.
4 njalo uNkulunkulu uzakwesula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, lokufa kakusayikuba khona; kumbe ukulila, kumbe ukukhala, loba ubuhlungu abusayikuba khona; ngoba izinto zakuqala sezidlulile.
Alyeya amasiga mumeso gebhwe, na lutalibhao lufu lindi, amwi Mamu, amwi kulola, amwi bhwasibhwa. Amasango ga kala ago galabhilileo.
5 Wasesithi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi: Khangela, ngenza zonke izinto zibentsha. Wasesithi kimi: Bhala; ngoba lamazwi aqinisile njalo athembekile.
Omwene unu aliga enyanjile ku chitebhe cho bhutungi aikile ati, “Lola! Enikola gona kubha mayaya.” Aikile ati, “Yandika linu kunsonga emisango jinu nijo okwiikanyibhwa ne chimali.”
6 Wasesithi kimi: Sekwenzakele. Mina nginguAlfa loOmega, ukuqala lokucina. Mina ngizamnika owomileyo okuvela emthonjeni wamanzi empilo ngesihle.
Nambwila ati, emisango jinu jalabhileo! Anye nanye Alufa na Omega, obhwambilo no bhutelo. Wona wona unu alitwa obhwilo ndimuyana echo kunywa mafune uli okusoka kwi jibha lya maji go bhuanga.
7 Onqobayo uzakudla ilifa lazo zonke izinto; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, laye abe yindodana yami.
Oyo kaiga alilya omwandu bhinu, enibha Nyamuanga waye, no mwene kabha mwana wani.
8 Kodwa amagwala labangakholwayo labanengekayo lababulali leziphingi labathakathi labakhonza izithombe labo bonke abaqambimanga, bazakuba lesabelo sabo echibini elivutha umlilo lesibabule, okuyikufa kwesibili. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Mbe nawe kutyo jili ku bhobha, bhanyatekilisha, bhanu abhafululusha, abheti, abhalomesi, abhalosi, bhanu abhalamya ebhisusano, na abhalimi bhona, libhala lyebhwe lilibha mu nyanja yo mulilo gwe chibhiliti gunu ogulungusha. Olwo nilwo olufu lwa kabhili.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Kwasekusiza kimi enye yengilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa egcwele izinhlupheko zokucina eziyisikhombisa, yasikhuluma lami, isithi: Woza lapha, ngizakutshengisa umakoti, umkaWundlu.
Oumwi wa bhamalaika musanju nanyijako, oumwi unu aliga ane bhibhiga musanju bhinu bhyaliga bhijuye amabhumo musanju ago bhutelo mbe naika ati, “I'ja anu. Enijo kukwelesha omwenga omugasi wo mwana wa Inama.”
10 Yasingithwala ngikuMoya yaya entabeni enkulu lende, yasingitshengisa umuzi omkhulu, iJerusalema engcwele, usehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu,
Okumala nangegela mu Mwoyo kula kwingabha enene ne lela nanyelesha omusi omwelu, Yelusalemu, nigwika okusoka mu lwile ku Nyamuanga.
11 ulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengelitshe eliligugu elikhulukazi njengelitshe ijaspi, likhanyisa njengekristali;
Yerusalemu yaliga Ina likusho lya Nyamuanga, no bhukonde bhwagwo gwaliga kuti chinu cha bhugusi bhunene, kuti ebhui lya lilole elye kisi elya yasipi.
12 njalo ulomduli omkhulu lophakemeyo, ulamasango alitshumi lambili, lemasangweni ingilosi ezilitshumi lambili, lamabizo ebhalwe kiwo, angawezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Gwaliga guli na indugu Nene, ndela ili na milyango ekumi ne bhili, amwi na bhamalaika ekumi na bhabhili mu milyango. Na ingulu ye milyango galiga gandikilweko amasina ga jinganda ekumi ne bhili ga bhana bha Israeli.
13 Empumalanga kwakulamasango amathathu; enyakatho, amasango amathathu; eningizimu, amasango amathathu; lentshonalanga, amasango amathathu.
Libhala lye bhutuluka jaliga jilio milyango esatu, libhala lya malimbe milyango esatu, libhala lyo bhuanga milyango esatu, na mulubhala lwe bhugwa milyango esatu.
14 Lomduli womuzi wawulezisekelo ezilitshumi lambili, lakuzo amabizo abaphostoli abalitshumi lambili beWundlu.
Jindugu jo musi jaliga jili na jinfuka ekumi ne bhili, na ingulu yajo galiga galiko amasina ekumi na gabhili aga jintumwa ekumi ne bhili ejo mwana wa inama.
15 Lowayekhuluma lami wayelomhlanga wegolide, ukuze alinganise umuzi, lamasango awo, lomduli wawo.
Oumwi unu aikile nanye aliga ali na insimbo eyo kulengela inu yaliga ikonjelwe kwa ijaabhu kulwa insonga yo kulengela omusi, ku milyango Jaye na ku ndugu jaye.
16 Umuzi wawumiswe walingana inhlangothi zozine, lobude bawo babungangobubanzi. Waselinganisa umuzi ngomhlanga waba ngamastadiyu azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili; ubude lobubanzi lokuphakama kwawo kuyalingana.
Omusi gwaliga guteywemo mu kwinganilila; obhulela bhwagwo bhwaliga bhwinganilye no bhugali bhwagwo. Agulengele omusi kwe bhilengelo ebhyo ebhya insimbo, kuti medeli 12,000 kwo bhulaka (obhulela bhwagwo, obhugali, ne chilengelo bhyenganiliye-la).
17 Waselinganisa umduli wawo, ingalo ezilikhulu lamatshumi amane lane, isilinganiso somuntu, esingesengilosi.
Nkwo kutyo alengele indugu yagwo obhunene bhwagwo bhwaliga jilaa 144 kwe bhilengelo bhyo mwanamunu bhyemwe one ni bhilengelo bhya Malaika).
18 Njalo kwakulesakhiwo somduli wawo phakathi, ijaspi; lomuzi uligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ehlanzekileyo.
Indugu yaliga yumbakilwe kwa iyasipi ya maji ga ijaabhu ye kisi, kuti elole lya kisi.
19 Lezisekelo zomduli womuzi zaziceciswe ngalo lonke ilitshe eliligugu. Isisekelo sokuqala, ijaspi; esesibili, isafire; esesithathu, ikalkedoni; esesine, i-emeraldi;
Olufuka lwa indugu one lwaliga lunanikilwe na bhuli nyami ya libhui lyo Bhugusi bhunene. Ogwo kwamba gwaliga gwa yasipi, ogwa kabhili gwaliga gwa yakuti samawi, ogwa kasatu gwaliga gwa kalkedon, ogwa kana zumaridi,
20 esesihlanu, isaridonikisi; esesithupha, isardiyusi; esesikhombisa, ikrisolite; esesificaminwembili, ibherule; esesificamunwemunye, itopazi; esetshumi, ikrisoprase; esetshumi lanye, ihiyakinte; esetshumi lambili, i-ametiste.
ogwa katanu saldoniki, ogwa mukaga akiki, ogwa musanju krisolitho, ogwa munana zabhalajadi, ogwa mwenda yakuti ya manjano ogwe kumi krisopraso, ogwe kumi na gumwi hiakintho, ogwe kumi na kabhili amethisto.
21 Lamasango alitshumi lambili angamapharele alitshumi lambili; yilelo ngalinye ngalinye lamasango lilipharele linye; njalo isitalada somuzi sasiligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ekhanyayo.
Emilyango ekumi ne bhili jaliga ja Lulu ekumi ne bhili, bhuli mulyango gwakonjelwe okusoka ku Lulu imwi. Jinguyo jo musi jaliga ja jijaabhu je kisi, nijibhonekana kuti nilole lya kisi.
22 Njalo kangibonanga ithempeli phakathi kwawo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uSomandla ulithempeli lawo, leWundlu.
Nitalolele iyekalu Yona yona mu musi, kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi Nyamuanga, unu atungile ingulu ya bhyona, no mwana wa Inama niyo iyekalu yaye.
23 Lomuzi kawusweli langa, kumbe inyanga, ukuthi kukhanyise kuwo; ngoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, lesibane sawo liWundlu;
Omusi gwaliga kutakenele esubha amwi kwesi koleleki okumulikila ingulu yaye kunsonga likusho lya Nyamuanga elimulika ingulu yaye, na Itala yaye niwe omwana wa inama. Amaanga galilibhata kwo bhwelu bhwo musi ogwo. Abhakama bhe Chalo bhaliletamo likusho lyebhe omwo. Emilyango jaye jitaligalwa mumwanya gwa mu mwisina, na aliya italibhao ngeta.
24 lezizwe zabasindisiweyo zizahamba ekukhanyeni kwawo; lamakhosi omhlaba aletha ubukhosi lodumo lwawo kuwo;
25 lamasango awo kawasoze avalwe emini, ngoba kakuyikuba khona ubusuku lapho;
26 njalo bazaletha kuwo ubukhosi lodumo lwezizwe;
Bhalileta likusho ne chibhalo cha maanga mu mwene,
27 njalo kakusoze kwangena lolulodwa ulutho olungcolileyo kuwo, njalo lokwenza okunengekayo lamanga; ngaphandle kwabalotshiweyo egwalweni lwempilo lweWundlu.
na chitalimo chijabhi chinu chilingilamo omwo. Nolwo wona wona unu kakola musango gwona gwona ogwa jinswalo amwi ogwo bhujigi-jigi atalingila, mbe nawe ni bhaliya-la bhanu amasina gebhwe gandikilwe mu chitabho cho bhuanga echo mwana wa Inama.
