1 Shesho nalola emwanya empya nensi empya, afwatanaje emwanya eyawande nensi eyawanda zishilile, nensombe sehali nantele.
Ngasengibona izulu elitsha lomhlaba omutsha; ngoba izulu lokuqala lomhlaba wokuqala kwasekudlulile, lolwandle lungasekho.
2 Nalolile iboma ilinza, E Yelusalemu empya, yashele ehenzele afume amwanya hwa Ngolobhe, wahandaliwe nashi obibi arusi yapambilwe wajili yalume.
Mina Johane ngasengibona umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema entsha, usehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwini, ulungisiwe njengomakoti ececiselwe umkakhe.
3 Nahonvwezye eshauti engosi afume hwitengo elya shimwene eyanga, “Enya! Amakhalo ga Ngolobhe galipandwemo. Na bhantu wape abhakhale pandwemo nabho bhabhabhe bhantu bhakwe no Ngolobhe yoyo abhabhe nabho nabhabhe Ngolobhe wabho.
Ngasengisizwa ilizwi elikhulu livela ezulwini, lisithi: Khangela, ithabhanekele likaNkulunkulu lisebantwini, njalo uzahlala labo, futhi bona bazakuba ngabantu bakhe, loNkulunkulu uqobo uzakuba labo, enguNkulunkulu wabo;
4 Nabhasyomole amanzozi afume humaso gabho, sepaibha nenfwa nantele, olwenje nalila, nabhawe sehwaibha. Amambo ege hale gashilile.
njalo uNkulunkulu uzakwesula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, lokufa kakusayikuba khona; kumbe ukulila, kumbe ukukhala, loba ubuhlungu abusayikuba khona; ngoba izinto zakuqala sezidlulile.
5 Omwene yashele akheye pitengo elyeshimwene ayanga, “Enya! Ebhomba amambo gonti abhe mapya.” Ayanjile, “Simba eli husabau amazu ega geuhakika na gelyoli.”
Wasesithi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi: Khangela, ngenza zonke izinto zibentsha. Wasesithi kimi: Bhala; ngoba lamazwi aqinisile njalo athembekile.
6 Ambozezye, “Amambo ega gashilile! Ane ne Alfa na Omega, wawande na wamalishilo. Wawonti yalola eshomelwa embahupele eshamwele bila galama afume hwagafumila amenze ege womi.
Wasesithi kimi: Sekwenzakele. Mina nginguAlfa loOmega, ukuqala lokucina. Mina ngizamnika owomileyo okuvela emthonjeni wamanzi empilo ngesihle.
7 Omwene yabhamene agale amambo ega, na embabhe Ngolobhe wakwe, wape abhabhe mwana wane.
Onqobayo uzakudla ilifa lazo zonke izinto; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, laye abe yindodana yami.
8 Lelo nanshi sashili hwabhoga, bhashele sebheteshe, bhavisya, nagoji, namalaya, abhitonga, bhabhaputa esanamu, nabhile nkabhonti, esehemu yabho libhabhe lilende elye mwoto oweshibiliti wawulongolezya. Eyo nfwa ya bhele.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
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)
9 Omo ontumi owa saba ahenzele huline, omo yali namabakuli saba yamemile amakhono saba aga malishile ayanga, “Enzaa epa. Embalulanje ebibi harusi oshe wamwana ngole.”
Kwasekusiza kimi enye yengilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa egcwele izinhlupheko zokucina eziyisikhombisa, yasikhuluma lami, isithi: Woza lapha, ngizakutshengisa umakoti, umkaWundlu.
10 Shesho anejile hutali humpepo hwigamba igosi itali naandanjile iboma ilinza, Eyelusalemu yewila pansi afume humwanya hwa Ngolobhe.
Yasingithwala ngikuMoya yaya entabeni enkulu lende, yasingitshengisa umuzi omkhulu, iJerusalema engcwele, usehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu,
11 Eyelusalemu yali owuzuzyo owa Ngolobhe, no winza wakwe walinanshi ahantu he dhamani, nanshi iwe elilolwe ilinza elye yasipi.
ulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengelitshe eliligugu elikhulukazi njengelitshe ijaspi, likhanyisa njengekristali;
12 Walinokuta ogosi, otali wawuli na mandyango ishomu na gabhele, pandwemo na antumi ilongo nabhabhele amandyango. Pamwanya ye malyango pali pasimbiwe amatawa ege makabela ilongo na gabhele agebhana bha Israeli.
njalo ulomduli omkhulu lophakemeyo, ulamasango alitshumi lambili, lemasangweni ingilosi ezilitshumi lambili, lamabizo ebhalwe kiwo, angawezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
13 Hupande hutukulo hwali na mandyango gatatu, hupande huswelo amalyango gatatu, hupande owa mwanya amandyango gatatu, upande wantende amandyango gatatu.
Empumalanga kwakulamasango amathathu; enyakatho, amasango amathathu; eningizimu, amasango amathathu; lentshonalanga, amasango amathathu.
14 Enkuta ezyeiboma zyali emisingi ishomi na gabhele, napamwanya pakwe pali na matawa ilongo na gabhele eya sontezyo ilongo na gabhele owa Mwana Ngole.
Lomduli womuzi wawulezisekelo ezilitshumi lambili, lakuzo amabizo abaphostoli abalitshumi lambili beWundlu.
15 Omo yayabhile nane alineshipimo eshendesa yahalenganyiziwe huu dhahabu hwaajili yapime iboma, amandyango gakwe nenkuta zyakwe.
Lowayekhuluma lami wayelomhlanga wegolide, ukuze alinganise umuzi, lamasango awo, lomduli wawo.
16 Iboma lyabhewelwe mhati ye baba; otali wakwe wali sawa no baba wakwe. Apimila iboma hushipimo shendesa, stadia 12, 000 hutali (otali wake, obaba, na sashiweli vyalengene).
Umuzi wawumiswe walingana inhlangothi zozine, lobude bawo babungangobubanzi. Waselinganisa umuzi ngomhlanga waba ngamastadiyu azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili; ubude lobubanzi lokuphakama kwawo kuyalingana.
17 Shashila apimile okuta lwakwe, ovilima wakwe wali 144 huvipimo evya bhantu vyashele (nantele vipimo evya antumi).
Waselinganisa umduli wawo, ingalo ezilikhulu lamatshumi amane lane, isilinganiso somuntu, esingesengilosi.
18 Okuta waliwuzengwilwe iboma elye dhahabu enyinza, nashiilolwe ilinza.
Njalo kwakulesakhiwo somduli wawo phakathi, ijaspi; lomuzi uligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ehlanzekileyo.
19 Onsingi ogwekuta wali gupambilwe shila aina yemawe aminza. Elya kwanza lyali yaspi, lyabhele yali yakuti samawi, eyatatu lyali kaikendon, elyauunee zumalidi,
Lezisekelo zomduli womuzi zaziceciswe ngalo lonke ilitshe eliligugu. Isisekelo sokuqala, ijaspi; esesibili, isafire; esesithathu, ikalkedoni; esesine, i-emeraldi;
20 elya sanu sardoniki, elya sita akiki, elya saba krisolitho, elye nane zabalajadi, elye tisa yakuti ya manjano, elya ilongo krisopraso, elya ilongo na gabhele omethisto.
esesihlanu, isaridonikisi; esesithupha, isardiyusi; esesikhombisa, ikrisolite; esesificaminwembili, ibherule; esesificamunwemunye, itopazi; esetshumi, ikrisoprase; esetshumi lanye, ihiyakinte; esetshumi lambili, i-ametiste.
21 Amandyango ilongo nagabhele galilulu ilongo nagabhele shila lyango walenganyiziwe afume hululu emo. Emtaa eyiboma yali dhahabu enyinza yayabhonehaga nashi ilolwe ilinza.
Lamasango alitshumi lambili angamapharele alitshumi lambili; yilelo ngalinye ngalinye lamasango lilipharele linye; njalo isitalada somuzi sasiligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ekhanyayo.
22 Sehalolile ihekalu lyolyonti mhati yiboma, fatanaje Ogosi Ongolobhe, yabhatawala pamwanya yagonti, no Mwana Ngole lihekalu lyakwe.
Njalo kangibonanga ithempeli phakathi kwawo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uSomandla ulithempeli lawo, leWundlu.
23 Iboma selyehanzaga isanya no mwezi aje akhozye pamwanya pakwe kwa sababu owakhozo wa Ngolobhe wakhozizye pamwanya pakwe, netala yakwe ye Mwana Ngole.
Lomuzi kawusweli langa, kumbe inyanga, ukuthi kukhanyise kuwo; ngoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, lesibane sawo liWundlu;
24 Abhe Mataifa bhaijenda humwanga owiboma elyo. Amwene ebhensi bhaileta oluzuvyo mhati yakwe.
lezizwe zabasindisiweyo zizahamba ekukhanyeni kwawo; lamakhosi omhlaba aletha ubukhosi lodumo lwawo kuwo;
25 Amandyango gakwe segaifungwa pasanya nasepaibha nosiku pala.
lamasango awo kawasoze avalwe emini, ngoba kakuyikuba khona ubusuku lapho;
26 Bhailela oluzuvyo no lwiho ye mataifa mhati yakwe,
njalo bazaletha kuwo ubukhosi lodumo lwezizwe;
27 na nahamo ahachafu hahayinjila mhati yakwe. Hata yayonti yashele yabhomba ijambo lyolyonti elyeshi kenye olwenje owakhopele sagayinjila bhabha tu bhashele amatawa gabho gasimbilwe hushitabu eshewomi esha Mwana Ngole.
njalo kakusoze kwangena lolulodwa ulutho olungcolileyo kuwo, njalo lokwenza okunengekayo lamanga; ngaphandle kwabalotshiweyo egwalweni lwempilo lweWundlu.
