Isambulo 21
1 Ngasengibona izulu elitsha lomhlaba omutsha; ngoba izulu lokuqala lomhlaba wokuqala kwasekudlulile, lolwandle lungasekho.
Zvino ndakaona denga idzva nenyika itsva, nokuti denga rekutanga nenyika yekutanga zvakange zvapfuura, uye gungwa rakange risisipo.
2 Mina Johane ngasengibona umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema entsha, usehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwini, ulungisiwe njengomakoti ececiselwe umkakhe.
Zvino ini Johwani ndakaona guta dzvene, Jerusarema idzva, richiburuka kubva kuna Mwari kubva kudenga, rakagadzirirwa semwenga wakashongedzerwa murume wake.
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;
Zvino ndakanzwa inzwi guru kubva kudenga, richiti: Tarira, tabhenakeri yaMwari iri pavanhu, iye achagara navo, uye ivo vachava vanhu vake; naMwari amene achava navo, ari Mwari wavo.
4 njalo uNkulunkulu uzakwesula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, lokufa kakusayikuba khona; kumbe ukulila, kumbe ukukhala, loba ubuhlungu abusayikuba khona; ngoba izinto zakuqala sezidlulile.
Zvino Mwari achapusika misodzi yese kubva pameso avo, nerufu haruchazovipo, kana kushungurudzika, kana kurira, kana kurwadziwa hakungachavipo; nokuti zvinhu zvekutanga zvapfuura.
5 Wasesithi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi: Khangela, ngenza zonke izinto zibentsha. Wasesithi kimi: Bhala; ngoba lamazwi aqinisile njalo athembekile.
Zvino agere pachigaro cheushe wakati: Tarira, ndinoita zvinhu zvese zvive zvitsva. Ndokuti kwandiri: Nyora; nokuti mashoko awa ndeechokwadi uye akatendeka.
6 Wasesithi kimi: Sekwenzakele. Mina nginguAlfa loOmega, ukuqala lokucina. Mina ngizamnika owomileyo okuvela emthonjeni wamanzi empilo ngesihle.
Zvino akati kwandiri: Zvaitika. Ndini Arifa naOmega, Kutanga neKupedzisira. Ini ndichapa kuna iye ane nyota zvinobva pachitubu chemvura yeupenyu pachena.
7 Onqobayo uzakudla ilifa lazo zonke izinto; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, laye abe yindodana yami.
Anokunda achagara nhaka yezvinhu zvese; uye ndichava Mwari wake, naiye achava mwanakomana wangu.
9 Kwasekusiza kimi enye yengilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa egcwele izinhlupheko zokucina eziyisikhombisa, yasikhuluma lami, isithi: Woza lapha, ngizakutshengisa umakoti, umkaWundlu.
Zvino kwakauya kwandiri umwe wevatumwa vanomwe vakange vane ndiro nomwe dzizere nematambudziko manomwe ekupedzisira, akataura neni, achiti: Uya pano ndigokuratidza mwenga, mukadzi weGwayana.
10 Yasingithwala ngikuMoya yaya entabeni enkulu lende, yasingitshengisa umuzi omkhulu, iJerusalema engcwele, usehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu,
Zvino wakanditakurira muMweya kugomo guru uye refu, akandiratidza guta guru, Jerusarema dzvene, richiburuka kubva kudenga kubva kuna Mwari,
11 ulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengelitshe eliligugu elikhulukazi njengelitshe ijaspi, likhanyisa njengekristali;
rine kubwinya kwaMwari; uye chiedza charo chakaita sebwe rinokoshesesa, sebwe rejasipisi, rinonjenjemera sekrisitaro;
12 njalo ulomduli omkhulu lophakemeyo, ulamasango alitshumi lambili, lemasangweni ingilosi ezilitshumi lambili, lamabizo ebhalwe kiwo, angawezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
uye rakange rine rusvingo rukuru uye rurefu, rine masuwo gumi nemaviri, nevatumwa gumi nevaviri pamusuwo, nemazita akanyorwa pamusoro, ari emarudzi gumi nemaviri evana vaIsraeri.
13 Empumalanga kwakulamasango amathathu; enyakatho, amasango amathathu; eningizimu, amasango amathathu; lentshonalanga, amasango amathathu.
Kumabvazuva masuwo matatu; kumaodzanyemba masuwo matatu; kuchamhembe masuwo matatu; nekumavirira masuwo matatu;
14 Lomduli womuzi wawulezisekelo ezilitshumi lambili, lakuzo amabizo abaphostoli abalitshumi lambili beWundlu.
zvino rusvingo rweguta rwakange rwune nheyo gumi nembiri, nepadziri mazita evaapositori gumi nevaviri veGwayana.
15 Lowayekhuluma lami wayelomhlanga wegolide, ukuze alinganise umuzi, lamasango awo, lomduli wawo.
Zvino wakataura neni wakange ane rutsanga rwegoridhe, kuti ayere guta, namasuwo aro, nerusingo rwaro.
16 Umuzi wawumiswe walingana inhlangothi zozine, lobude bawo babungangobubanzi. Waselinganisa umuzi ngomhlanga waba ngamastadiyu azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili; ubude lobubanzi lokuphakama kwawo kuyalingana.
Zvino guta rakange rakamiswa rakaenzana mativi mana, nekureba kwaro kwakakura kudai sekufara; ndokuyera guta nerutsanga, rikasvika pamastadhia zvuru gumi nezviviri; kureba nekufara nekukwirira kwaro zvakaenzana.
17 Waselinganisa umduli wawo, ingalo ezilikhulu lamatshumi amane lane, isilinganiso somuntu, esingesengilosi.
Zvino wakayera rusvingo rwaro, mbimbi zana nemakumi mana nemana, chiyero chemunhu, chinova chemutumwa.
18 Njalo kwakulesakhiwo somduli wawo phakathi, ijaspi; lomuzi uligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ehlanzekileyo.
Uye maiva nechivakwa cherusvingo rwaro, jasipisi, uye guta riri goridhe rakakwana, rakafanana negirazi rakachenesesa.
19 Lezisekelo zomduli womuzi zaziceciswe ngalo lonke ilitshe eliligugu. Isisekelo sokuqala, ijaspi; esesibili, isafire; esesithathu, ikalkedoni; esesine, i-emeraldi;
Nenheyo dzerusvingo rweguta dzakashongedzwa nebwe rimwe nerimwe rinokosha. Nheyo yekutanga ijasipisi, yepiri isafiri, yetatu ikarikidhoni, yechina iemaradhi,
20 esesihlanu, isaridonikisi; esesithupha, isardiyusi; esesikhombisa, ikrisolite; esesificaminwembili, ibherule; esesificamunwemunye, itopazi; esetshumi, ikrisoprase; esetshumi lanye, ihiyakinte; esetshumi lambili, i-ametiste.
yeshanu isaridhonikisi, yetanhatu isaridhio, yechinomwe ikrisoriti, yerusere bheriri, yepfumbamwe topasi, yegumi kirisopirasi, yegumi neimwe hiasindi, yegumi nembiri ametesiti.
21 Lamasango alitshumi lambili angamapharele alitshumi lambili; yilelo ngalinye ngalinye lamasango lilipharele linye; njalo isitalada somuzi sasiligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ekhanyayo.
Zvino masuwo gumi nemaviri maparera gumi nemaviri; rimwe nerimwe remasuwo rakange riri reparera rimwe; uye nzira yemuguta igoridhe rakakwana segirazi rinonjenjemera.
22 Njalo kangibonanga ithempeli phakathi kwawo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uSomandla ulithempeli lawo, leWundlu.
Zvino handina kuona tembere mukati marwo, nokuti Ishe Mwari Wemasimbaose itembere yarwo, neGwayana.
23 Lomuzi kawusweli langa, kumbe inyanga, ukuthi kukhanyise kuwo; ngoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, lesibane sawo liWundlu;
Zvino guta harishaiwi zuva kana mwedzi kuvhenekera mariri; nokuti kubwinya kwaMwari kunorivhenekera, nemwenje waro iGwayana;
24 lezizwe zabasindisiweyo zizahamba ekukhanyeni kwawo; lamakhosi omhlaba aletha ubukhosi lodumo lwawo kuwo;
zvino marudzi evanoponeswa achafamba muchiedza charo, nemadzimambo enyika achauisa kubwinya nerukudzo rwawo mariri.
25 lamasango awo kawasoze avalwe emini, ngoba kakuyikuba khona ubusuku lapho;
Zvino masuwo aro haangatongopfigwi masikati, nokuti usiku hahuchazovipo.
26 njalo bazaletha kuwo ubukhosi lodumo lwezizwe;
Uye vachauisa kubwinya nerukudzo rwendudzi mariri.
27 njalo kakusoze kwangena lolulodwa ulutho olungcolileyo kuwo, njalo lokwenza okunengekayo lamanga; ngaphandle kwabalotshiweyo egwalweni lwempilo lweWundlu.
Uye hamungatongopindi chero chinhu chinosvibisa mariri, uye chinosemesa, uye nhema; asi vakanyorwa mubhuku reupenyu reGwayana.
