Isambulo 21
1 Ngasengibona izulu elitsha lomhlaba omutsha; ngoba izulu lokuqala lomhlaba wokuqala kwasekudlulile, lolwandle lungasekho.
Panyuma pakendi, ndalabona mwilu kwa linolino ne cishi ca panshi ca linolino. Mwilu mwa kutanguna ne cishi ca panshi cakutanguna kayi ne lwenje byalashimangana.
2 Mina Johane ngasengibona umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema entsha, usehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwini, ulungisiwe njengomakoti ececiselwe umkakhe.
Kayi ndalabona Munshi Uswepa Yelusalemu wa linolino kauseluka kwilu kuli Lesa, wabambwa cena mbuli nabwinga ncakute kufwala cena ayanga kukumana ne ibendi.
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;
Ndalanyumfwa liswi ku Cipuna ca Bwami lyalikompololeti, “Kamubonani lino ng'anda ya Lesa ili pakati pa bantu, nakekale nabo pamo. Nabo nibakekale nendi! Nibakabe bantu bakendi, nendi nakabe Lesa wabo.
4 njalo uNkulunkulu uzakwesula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, lokufa kakusayikuba khona; kumbe ukulila, kumbe ukukhala, loba ubuhlungu abusayikuba khona; ngoba izinto zakuqala sezidlulile.
Nakabapukute misoshi yonsepa menso. Nteti pakabe lufu nambi kulila mibila nambi kunyumfwa bishikubaba. Bintu byalikubako pakutanguna bilapiti.”
5 Wasesithi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi: Khangela, ngenza zonke izinto zibentsha. Wasesithi kimi: Bhala; ngoba lamazwi aqinisile njalo athembekile.
Lino wekala pa cipuna ca Bwami walambeti, “Ndabambanga bintu byonse kuba byalinolino!” Kayi walambeti, “Kolemba pakwinga maswi ngondambanga na ncinencine kayi ashomeka.”
6 Wasesithi kimi: Sekwenzakele. Mina nginguAlfa loOmega, ukuqala lokucina. Mina ngizamnika owomileyo okuvela emthonjeni wamanzi empilo ngesihle.
Kayi walang'ambileti, “Bilenshiki! Njame Alefa ne Omega, wakutanguna kayi ne wakupwililisha. Ninkasuminishe uliyense ukute nyotwa kunwa pansansa, menshi eshikupa buyumi alapupunga nteti bakaulenga sobwe.
7 Onqobayo uzakudla ilifa lazo zonke izinto; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, laye abe yindodana yami.
Ninkape ibi bintu ku bantu beshibakakome, kayi ninkabe Lesa wabo, naboyo nibakabe bantu bakame.
9 Kwasekusiza kimi enye yengilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa egcwele izinhlupheko zokucina eziyisikhombisa, yasikhuluma lami, isithi: Woza lapha, ngizakutshengisa umakoti, umkaWundlu.
Kwalesa umo wa bangelo basanu ne babili basa balikukute Indilo shisanu ne shibili shesula malwashi asanu ne abili walang'ambileti, “Kwesa kuno ndikuleshe moye, mukashi wa Mwana Mbelele.”
10 Yasingithwala ngikuMoya yaya entabeni enkulu lende, yasingitshengisa umuzi omkhulu, iJerusalema engcwele, usehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu,
Neco Mushimu Uswepa walamfukata, neye mungelo walantwala pa mulundu unene kayi utali, kuyakundesha Munshi Uswepa, Yelusalemu walikuseluka kwilu kuli Lesa,
11 ulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengelitshe eliligugu elikhulukazi njengelitshe ijaspi, likhanyisa njengekristali;
walikubeka ne bulemeneno bwa Lesa. Uwo munshi walikubeketi libwe lya mulo waduleti libwe lyeshima likute kukwiweti yasipi lyatuba tuu eti gilasi.
12 njalo ulomduli omkhulu lophakemeyo, ulamasango alitshumi lambili, lemasangweni ingilosi ezilitshumi lambili, lamabizo ebhalwe kiwo, angawezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Uwo munshi walikukute luba lunene kayi lutali, kayi walikukute bishinga likumi ne bibili, pacishinga cimo ne cimo palikuba mungelo walikupembelela. Pabishinga palikuba palembwa maina likumi ne abili a bana Baislayeli.
13 Empumalanga kwakulamasango amathathu; enyakatho, amasango amathathu; eningizimu, amasango amathathu; lentshonalanga, amasango amathathu.
Ca kucwe kwa munshi kwalikuba bishinga bitatu, ca kunyika bishinga bitatu, cakumusansa bishinga bitatu, kayi ca kumbonshi bishinga bitatu.
14 Lomduli womuzi wawulezisekelo ezilitshumi lambili, lakuzo amabizo abaphostoli abalitshumi lambili beWundlu.
Luba lwa munshi lwalebakwa palulindu lwa mabwe anene, pa libwe limo ne limo palikuba palembwa lina lya umo wa batumwa likumi ne babili ba Mwana Mbelele.
15 Lowayekhuluma lami wayelomhlanga wegolide, ukuze alinganise umuzi, lamasango awo, lomduli wawo.
Lino mungelo walikwamba ne njame walikukute litete lya golide lyakupimisha munshi ne bishinga kayi ne luba.
16 Umuzi wawumiswe walingana inhlangothi zozine, lobude bawo babungangobubanzi. Waselinganisa umuzi ngomhlanga waba ngamastadiyu azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili; ubude lobubanzi lokuphakama kwawo kuyalingana.
munshi uwo walikuba ne mbasu shina shelana, mubutali ne mubufupi mwalikuba mwelana. mungelo walaupimisha uwo munshi ne litete nekucana makilomita bina bibili ne myanda makumi ana Mubutali ne mubufupi kayi ne mushimba byonse byalikuba byelana.
17 Waselinganisa umduli wawo, ingalo ezilikhulu lamatshumi amane lane, isilinganiso somuntu, esingesengilosi.
Kayi walapima luba, walacaneti ni lutali ntamwa makumi asanu ne limo Kwelana ne mpimino ya muntu yelana kayi ne mpimino ya mungelo.
18 Njalo kwakulesakhiwo somduli wawo phakathi, ijaspi; lomuzi uligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ehlanzekileyo.
Luba lwalikuba lwebakwa ne mabwe a Yasipi. Munshi uwo balawibakisha negolide winewine wabeketi gilasi.
19 Lezisekelo zomduli womuzi zaziceciswe ngalo lonke ilitshe eliligugu. Isisekelo sokuqala, ijaspi; esesibili, isafire; esesithathu, ikalkedoni; esesine, i-emeraldi;
Lulindu lwa luba lwa munshi lwalikuba lwamabwe apusana pusana adula. Libwe lyakutanguna lya lulindu lyalikuba lya yasipi libwe lya cibili lya safilo lya citatu lya kalikedo, lya cina lya emalodi.
20 esesihlanu, isaridonikisi; esesithupha, isardiyusi; esesikhombisa, ikrisolite; esesificaminwembili, ibherule; esesificamunwemunye, itopazi; esetshumi, ikrisoprase; esetshumi lanye, ihiyakinte; esetshumi lambili, i-ametiste.
libwe lya cisanu lya sadonu, libwe ca cisanu ne cimo lya sadiyo, libwe ca cisanu ne bibili lya kulusolito, libwe ca cisanu ne citatu lyalikuba belulo, libwe ca cisanu ne cina lya topazi, libwe ca likumi lya kakedoni, libwe ca likumi ne cimo lya huwakinto, libwe ca likumi ne bibili lyalikuba ametusito.
21 Lamasango alitshumi lambili angamapharele alitshumi lambili; yilelo ngalinye ngalinye lamasango lilipharele linye; njalo isitalada somuzi sasiligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ekhanyayo.
Bishinga bya munshi likumi ne bibili byalikukute mukanda wa malungu adula ali likumi nabili, pacishinga ciliconse palikuba mukanda wa bulungu bumo bunene. Mukwakwa unene mu munshi walikuba wa golidi winewine waswepeti gilasi.
22 Njalo kangibonanga ithempeli phakathi kwawo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uSomandla ulithempeli lawo, leWundlu.
Lino umo mu munshi ndiya kubonamo Ng'anda ya kupaililamo Lesa, pakwinga Mwami Lesa Wangofu Shonse kayi ne Mwana Mbelele. ebalikuba ng'anda ya kupaillilamo
23 Lomuzi kawusweli langa, kumbe inyanga, ukuthi kukhanyise kuwo; ngoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, lesibane sawo liWundlu;
Kumunika kwa lisuba ne mwenshi nkakwali kuyandika umo mu munshi sobwe, pakwinga bulemeneno bwa Lesa ebulamunikilinga, neye Mwana Mbelele elampi lya munshi.
24 lezizwe zabasindisiweyo zizahamba ekukhanyeni kwawo; lamakhosi omhlaba aletha ubukhosi lodumo lwawo kuwo;
Mishobo yonse pa cishi ca panshi nikendenga mumuni eti ukafumenga mu munshi. Kayi ne bendeleshi ba pacishi capanshi nibakaletemo buboni bwabo.
25 lamasango awo kawasoze avalwe emini, ngoba kakuyikuba khona ubusuku lapho;
Pakwinga bishinga byamunshi nteti bakabicalenga munshi wonse kayi nteti kukabenga mashiku.
26 njalo bazaletha kuwo ubukhosi lodumo lwezizwe;
Mumunshi umo mishobo yonse yamucishi capanshi nibakaletemo bulemeneno ne buboni bwabo.
27 njalo kakusoze kwangena lolulodwa ulutho olungcolileyo kuwo, njalo lokwenza okunengekayo lamanga; ngaphandle kwabalotshiweyo egwalweni lwempilo lweWundlu.
Kuliya cintu casafwana eti cikengilemo nambi muntu lenshinga bishikuleta nsoni nambi mubepeshi eti akengilemo. Abo balembwa maina mu libuku lya buyumi lya Mwana mbelele ebonka beshi bakengilemo.
