Umlambo Nomthi Wobomi
Umlambo uqukuqela esitratweni somzi, umthi wobomi ukho emacaleni omabini, amagqabi awo ephilisa iintlanga. Abakhonzi bakhe ekugqibeleni bayabubona ubuso bukaBawo wethu. Kathathu uYesu uthi uza kungekudala; uMoya noMtshakazi baphendule bathi, Yiza — nabani na onxaniweyo angasela simahla.
22 1Saza isithunywa sandibonisa umlambo wamanzi anika ubomi, abengezela njengekristale, ephuma etroneni kaBawo wethu nekaYesu, iMvana, 2esihla phakathi kwesitrato sawo. Emacaleni omabini omlambo kwakukho umthi wobomi, uthwala iintlobo ezilishumi elinazibini zeziqhamo, uvelisa iziqhamo zawo inyanga nenyanga; amagqabi omthi lowo ngawokuphilisa iintlanga. 3Akusayi kubakho siqalekiso. Itrone kaBawo wethu nekaYesu, iMvana, iya kuba phakathi komzi, baze abakhonzi bakhe bamnqule. 4Baya kububona ubuso bakhe, libe negama lakhe emabunzini abo. 5Abusayi kubakho ubusuku. Abasasweli isibane nakukhanya kwelanga, kuba uBawo wethu uya kubakhanyisela, baze balawule ngonaphakade kanaphakade.
6Saza isithunywa sathi kum: “La mazwi athembekile ayinyaniso. UBawo wethu, ophefumlela abaprofeti bakhe, usithumile isithunywa sakhe ukuba sibonise abakhonzi bakhe oko kumele kwenzeke kungekudala.”
7“Yabona, ndiza kungekudala! Unoyolo lowo uwagcinayo amazwi esiprofeto sale ncwadi.”
Ndiza Kungekudala
8Mna, Yohane, ndeva ndabona ezi zinto. Ndakuba ndizivile ndabona oku, ndawa ukuba ndiqubude ezinyaweni zesithunywa esindibonise zona. 9Kodwa sathi: “Musa! Ndikhonza nawe, nabazalwana bakho abaprofeti, nabo bawagcinayo amazwi ale ncwadi. Qubuda kuBawo wethu!” 10Sathi kum: “Musa ukuwatywina amazwi esiprofeto sale ncwadi, kuba ixesha lisondele. 11Umenzi wobubi makaqhubeke esenza ububi; ongcolileyo ahlale engcolile; olilungisa makaqhubeke esenza okulungileyo; ongcwele ahlale engcwele.”
12“Yabona, ndiza kungekudala, umvuzo wam ndinawo, ukubuyisela elowo ngokwezenzo zakhe.
13“Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, owokuqala nowokugqibela, isiqalo nesiphelo.” 14Banoyolo abo bahlamba iingubo zabo, bezuza ilungelo emthini wobomi nokungena ngamasango omzi. 15Ngaphandle kukho izinja, nabakhafuli, nabenzi bombulo, nababulali, nabakhonzi bezithixo, nabo bonke abathandayo nabenzayo ubuxoki. 16“Mna, Yesu, ndisithumile isithunywa sam ukuba singqine ezi zinto kuni ngenxa yamabandla. NdiyiNgcambu neMbewu kaDavide, iNkwenkwezi ekhanyayo yokusa.”
17UMoya oyiNgcwele noMtshakazi bathi: “Yiza!” Ovayo makathi: “Yiza!” Onxaniweyo makeze; othanda makathabathe amanzi obomi ngesisa.
18Ndiyangqina kuye wonke umntu owevayo amazwi esiprofeto sale ncwadi: ukuba ukho umntu owongeza kuwo, uBawo wethu uya kongeza kuloo mntu izibetho ezibhaliweyo apha. 19Ukuba ukho umntu othabathayo kuwo amazwi esiprofeto sale ncwadi, uBawo wethu uya kuthabatha isabelo sakhe emthini wobomi nasemzini ongcwele ochazwe apha. a a v19 Iikopi zamva zithi apha “incwadi yobomi”; ezona zokuqala zithi “umthi wobomi.”
20Lowo ungqina ezi zinto uthi: “Ewe, ndiza kungekudala.” Amen. Yiza, Nkosi Yesu! b b v20 IBhayibhile ivalwa ngesikhalo sokulangazelela kweBandla ukuba uYesu abuye. Ibali likaBawo wethu liphela — ukususela kulahleko yase-Eden kuse kumzi obuyiselweyo — lifumana ilizwi lalo lokugqibela emthandazweni wabo bayaziyo ukuba uNyana uya kuza.
21Ubabalo lweNkosi uYesu malube nabo bonke. Amen.
