Isambulo 21
1 Ngasengibona izulu elitsha lomhlaba omutsha; ngoba izulu lokuqala lomhlaba wokuqala kwasekudlulile, lolwandle lungasekho.
Linu chinabona iwulu ihya ni nikanda inhya, mukuti iwulu lyetanzi ni inkanda lyetanzi zibamani, imi kana kubasina iwate.
2 Mina Johane ngasengibona umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema entsha, usehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwini, ulungisiwe njengomakoti ececiselwe umkakhe.
Chinabona muleneñi, Jerusalema muhya, kuti chilizwa mukati kewulu kuzwa kwe Ireeza, yolibakanya sina museswa yolilotuseza muhyabwe.
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;
Nibazuwi inzwi inkando lizwa hachihuna licho, “Bone! Chibaka chabwikalo bwa Ireeza chinakubantu, imi mwahale nabo. Kababe bantu bakwe, imi Ireeza iyemwine kabenabo imi kabe Ireeza wabo.
4 njalo uNkulunkulu uzakwesula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, lokufa kakusayikuba khona; kumbe ukulila, kumbe ukukhala, loba ubuhlungu abusayikuba khona; ngoba izinto zakuqala sezidlulile.
Kasinde zisonzi zonse mumenso abo, imi kese nikube nifu, kapa kubilayela, kapa kulila, kapa kuchiswa. Zintu zakale zibahiti.
5 Wasesithi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi: Khangela, ngenza zonke izinto zibentsha. Wasesithi kimi: Bhala; ngoba lamazwi aqinisile njalo athembekile.
Yabakele hachihuna chati, “Bone! Nipanga zintu zonse buhya,” Nati, “Ñole izi hansi kakuli aa manzwi asakusima ni buniti.”
6 Wasesithi kimi: Sekwenzakele. Mina nginguAlfa loOmega, ukuqala lokucina. Mina ngizamnika owomileyo okuvela emthonjeni wamanzi empilo ngesihle.
Chati kwangu, “Izi zintu chizamana! Njime wetanzi ni wamamani mani, wa matanginzo ni wa mamaninizo. Yofwile innyotwa kanimuhe chakunywa nikusena chaliha kuzwa muchisima chamenzi abuhalo.
7 Onqobayo uzakudla ilifa lazo zonke izinto; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, laye abe yindodana yami.
Yetanazunde kayole izi zintu, imi Kanibe Ireeza wakwe, imi kabe mwan'a ngu.
9 Kwasekusiza kimi enye yengilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa egcwele izinhlupheko zokucina eziyisikhombisa, yasikhuluma lami, isithi: Woza lapha, ngizakutshengisa umakoti, umkaWundlu.
Limwi kumañiloi atenda iyanza in obele chilyeza kwangu, limwi libakukwete tuhambwe twizwile inziyezi zikwana iyanza nitobele, imi chati, “Wize kunu. Munikutondeze museswa, mwihyabwe we Mbelele.”
10 Yasingithwala ngikuMoya yaya entabeni enkulu lende, yasingitshengisa umuzi omkhulu, iJerusalema engcwele, usehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu,
Linu chanitwala Muluhuho helundu inkando liwumbukite imi nikunitondeza muleneñi uchenete wa Jerusalema niukazwa kwiwulu kwe Ireeza kwiza hansi.
11 ulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengelitshe eliligugu elikhulukazi njengelitshe ijaspi, likhanyisa njengekristali;
Jerusalema ibene ikanya ya Ireeza, imi iseli lyateni libenya sina ibwe lyabutokwa, sina ibwe lyajaspe libelela sina kristal.
12 njalo ulomduli omkhulu lophakemeyo, ulamasango alitshumi lambili, lemasangweni ingilosi ezilitshumi lambili, lamabizo ebhalwe kiwo, angawezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ubikitwe mulukwakwa lukando lule kwina milyango ikwana ikumi ni yobele, ni mañiloi akwana ikumi niwobele. Imi hamilwango habañoletwe mazina abana ba Isilaele akwana ikumi ni wobele.
13 Empumalanga kwakulamasango amathathu; enyakatho, amasango amathathu; eningizimu, amasango amathathu; lentshonalanga, amasango amathathu.
14 Lomduli womuzi wawulezisekelo ezilitshumi lambili, lakuzo amabizo abaphostoli abalitshumi lambili beWundlu.
Imota lya muleneñi libena mitomo, ina ikumi ni milyango yobele, imi kwili kubena mazina ene ikumi ni obele abalutwana bena ikumi ni bobele be Imbelele.
15 Lowayekhuluma lami wayelomhlanga wegolide, ukuze alinganise umuzi, lamasango awo, lomduli wawo.
Yabawambi name abena inkoli yakupimisa ibatendwa chegauda kupimisa Muleneñi, milyango ni mamota ateni.
16 Umuzi wawumiswe walingana inhlangothi zozine, lobude bawo babungangobubanzi. Waselinganisa umuzi ngomhlanga waba ngamastadiyu azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili; ubude lobubanzi lokuphakama kwawo kuyalingana.
Muleneñi ubazalitwa chenkona zone; bule bwateni bubali kulikanelela ni mubufuhi bwateni, Abapimi muleneñi chenkoli yakupimisa, zikiti zina ikumi ni zobele mubule (bule bwao, zibalikuswana).
17 Waselinganisa umduli wawo, ingalo ezilikhulu lamatshumi amane lane, isilinganiso somuntu, esingesengilosi.
Abapimi bulyo ni mota lyateni, bukima bwamakiyibbu ena 144 chamupimino wabuntu (Ili ichita chipimo cheñiloi hape).
18 Njalo kwakulesakhiwo somduli wawo phakathi, ijaspi; lomuzi uligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ehlanzekileyo.
Imota libazakwa chajaspe ni muleneñi chegauda ineine, ni gilasi ibelela.
19 Lezisekelo zomduli womuzi zaziceciswe ngalo lonke ilitshe eliligugu. Isisekelo sokuqala, ijaspi; esesibili, isafire; esesithathu, ikalkedoni; esesine, i-emeraldi;
Mitomo yamamota abakabiswe chamabwe amifuta yonse. Chetanzi ibali jaspa, chabubeli ibali safiro, chabutatu ibali kalesedo, chabune ibali emeralda,
20 esesihlanu, isaridonikisi; esesithupha, isardiyusi; esesikhombisa, ikrisolite; esesificaminwembili, ibherule; esesificamunwemunye, itopazi; esetshumi, ikrisoprase; esetshumi lanye, ihiyakinte; esetshumi lambili, i-ametiste.
Chikwana iyanza ibali sardlusi, chikwana iyanza ni chimwina ibali sardiyo, chikwana iyanza ni zobele ibali krisolito, chikwana iyanza ni zotatwe ibali berilo, chikwana iyanza ni zone ibali topazo, chikwana ikumi ibali krizoprazo, chikwana ikumi ni chimwina ibali jasinto, mi chikwana ikumi ni zobele ibali ametisto.
21 Lamasango alitshumi lambili angamapharele alitshumi lambili; yilelo ngalinye ngalinye lamasango lilipharele linye; njalo isitalada somuzi sasiligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ekhanyayo.
Ziyazo zamilyango zibena ikumi ni zobele zibali zalipelela; umwi ni umwi wamilyango ubapangiwa hepelela yonke. Mikwakwa yamuleneñi ibali yagauda yineyine, sina igilazi ibelela.
22 Njalo kangibonanga ithempeli phakathi kwawo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uSomandla ulithempeli lawo, leWundlu.
Kananibaboni itempele mumuleneñi, chokuti Simwine Ireeza wina Maata Wonse ni Mbelele bekele mwitempele.
23 Lomuzi kawusweli langa, kumbe inyanga, ukuthi kukhanyise kuwo; ngoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, lesibane sawo liWundlu;
Muleneñi kakubena intokwahalo yezuba kapa mwezi ili kutu kubenye mukuti ikanyaye Ireeza ibamuniki hateni, mi ilambi lyate imbelele.
24 lezizwe zabasindisiweyo zizahamba ekukhanyeni kwawo; lamakhosi omhlaba aletha ubukhosi lodumo lwawo kuwo;
Mishobo kayiwambe cheli iseli lyowuna muleneñi. Malena bahansi kabalete chifumu chabo muwuli. Mushobo wete upuluswe kawuwambe cheseli lyowuna muleneñi.
25 lamasango awo kawasoze avalwe emini, ngoba kakuyikuba khona ubusuku lapho;
Minyango yateni keti niyiyale mukati kezuba, mi ketenikube masiku kwateni.
26 njalo bazaletha kuwo ubukhosi lodumo lwezizwe;
Kabalete mwateni chifumu chabo ni tompo yakumisho yabo,
27 njalo kakusoze kwangena lolulodwa ulutho olungcolileyo kuwo, njalo lokwenza okunengekayo lamanga; ngaphandle kwabalotshiweyo egwalweni lwempilo lweWundlu.
mikakwina chisajololi cheti nichinjile mwateni. Kapa zumwi ni zumwi yotenda chintu chonse chiswabisa kapa chichenga yeti nenjile, kono haisi abo bamazina añoletwe muMbuka ye Mbelele ya Buhalo.
