Umfula Nesihlahla Sokuphila
Umfula ugeleza emgwaqweni womuzi, nesihlahla sokuphila ezinhlangothini zombili, amaqabunga aso ephilisa izizwe. Izinceku zakhe ekugcineni zibona ubuso bukaBaba wethu. Kathathu uJesu uthi uza masinyane; uMoya noMlobokazi bayaphendula bathi, Woza — futhi noma ngubani owomileyo angaphuza mahhala.
22 1Ingelosi yase ingibonisa umfula wamanzi aphilisayo, akhanya njengekristalu, agobhoza esuka esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaBaba wethu nesikaJesu, iWundlu, 2ugobhoza phakathi nomgwaqo womuzi. Ngapha nangapha komfula kwakhula isihlahla sokuphila, esithela izinhlobo eziyishumi nambili zezithelo, sithela izithelo zaso inyanga ngayinye; namaqabunga esihlahla angawokwelapha izizwe. 3Asisayikuba khona isiqalekiso. Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaBaba wethu nesikaJesu, iWundlu, siyakuba semzini, nezinceku zakhe ziyakumkhonza. 4Ziyakububona ubuso bakhe, negama lakhe liyakuba semabunzini azo. 5Abusayikuba khona ubusuku. Azisiswela isibani noma ukukhanya kwelanga, ngokuba uBaba wethu uyazikhanyisela, ziyakubusa kuze kube phakade naphakade.
6Ingelosi yase ithi kimi: “Lawa mazwi athembekile aqinisile. UBaba wethu, ophefumulela abaprofethi bakhe, uthume ingelosi yakhe ukuba ibonise izinceku zakhe lokho okumele kwenzeke masinyane.”
7“Bheka, ngiyeza masinyane! Ubusisiwe lowo ogcina amazwi esiprofetho sale ncwadi.”
Ngiyeza Masinyane
8Mina Johane, ngezwa ngabona lezi zinto. Kwathi lapho ngazizwa ngazibona, ngawa phansi ukuze ngikhonze ezinyaweni zengelosi eyayingibonisa zona. 9Kodwa yathi: “Ungakwenzi lokho! Ngiyinceku kanye nawe, nabazalwane bakho abaprofethi, nalabo abagcina amazwi ale ncwadi. Khonza uBaba wethu!” 10Yathi kimi: “Ungawavaleli amazwi esiprofetho sale ncwadi, ngokuba isikhathi sisondele. 11Owenza okubi makaqhubeke ekwenzeni okubi; ongcolileyo mahlale engcolile; olungileyo makaqhubeke enza okulungile; ongcwele mahlale engcwele.”
12“Bheka, ngiyeza masinyane, umvuzo wami unami, ukuba ngivuze yilowo nalowo ngalokho akwenzile.
13“Mina ngiyi-Alfa no-Omega, owokuqala nowokugcina, isiqalo nesiphetho.” 14Babusisiwe labo abahlanza izingubo zabo, ukuze babe nelungelo lesihlahla sokuphila nelokungena ngamasango omuzi. 15Ngaphandle kukhona izinja, nabathakathi, neziphingi, nababulali, nabakhonza izithombe, nabo bonke abathanda futhi abenza amanga. 16“Mina Jesu, ngayithuma ingelosi yami ukuba ifakaze lokhu kini ngenxa yamabandla. Mina ngiyiMpande neNzalo kaDavide, iNkanyezi yokusa ekhanyayo.”
17UMoya oNgcwele nomlobokazi bathi: “Woza!” Nalowo ozwayo makathi: “Woza!” Lowo owomileyo makeze; lowo othandayo makathathe amanzi okuphila ngesihle.
18Ngiyafakaza kuwo wonke umuntu ozwa amazwi esiprofetho sale ncwadi: uma umuntu enezela kuwo, uBaba wethu uyakwenezela kulowo muntu izinhlupho ezilotshwe kule ncwadi. 19Uma umuntu ethatha kuwo amazwi ale ncwadi yesiprofetho, uBaba wethu uyakususa isabelo sakhe esihlahleni sokuphila nasemzini ongcwele okuchaziwe kule ncwadi. a a v19 Amakhophi angemuva afundeka ngokuthi “incwadi yokuphila” lapha; amadala kakhulu afundeka ngokuthi “isihlahla sokuphila.”
20Lowo ofakaza lezi zinto uthi: “Yebo, ngiyeza masinyane.” Ameni. Woza, Nkosi Jesu! b b v20 IBhayibheli liphetha ngesililo sebandla esilangazelela ukubuya kukaJesu. Yonke indaba kaBaba wethu — kusukela ekulahlekeni kwe-Edeni kuze kube sekubuyiselweni komuzi — ithola izwi layo lokugcina emthandazweni walabo abazi ukuthi iNdodana iyakuza.
21Umusa weNkosi uJesu mawube nabo bonke. Ameni.
