ISambulo KuJohane 14:1-20
14 Ngakhangela ngasengibona iMvana+ imi phezu kwentaba iZiyoni+ ilabangu-144 000,+ bebhalwe ibizo layo lebizo likaYise+ emabunzini abo.
2 Ngezwa umdumo uvela ezulwini, ungathi ngumdumo wamanzi amanengi futhi ungathi yikukhwaza komdumo wezulu omkhulu. Umdumo engawuzwayo wawungathi ngowabahlabeleli abahlabela betshaya amahabhu* abo.
3 Babehlabela okuzwakala angathi yingoma entsha+ bephambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi laphambi kwezidalwa ezine eziphilayo+ laphambi kwabadala+ njalo kakho owayesenelisa ukuyifunda ingoma leyo ngaphandle kwabangu-144 000+ abathengwe emhlabeni.
4 Laba yibo abangazange bazingcolise ngabesifazana, bamsulwa.*+ Yibo abaqhubeka belandela iMvana kungelani lokuthi iyangaphi.+ Bathengwa+ ebantwini baba yizithelo zokuqala+ kuNkulunkulu lakuyo iMvana
5 futhi ubuqili abutholakalanga emilonyeni yabo, abalasici.+
6 Ngasengibona enye ingilosi iphapha emoyeni ilezindaba ezinhle zaphakade ukuze izimemezele kulabo abahlala emhlabeni, kuzo zonke izizwe, lezizwana, lezindimi kanye labantu.+
7 Yayimemeza isithi: “Mesabeni uNkulunkulu limnike inkazimulo ngoba ihora lokuthi ahlulele selifikile.+ Yikho khonzani lowo owenza izulu, lomhlaba, lolwandle+ kanye lemithombo yamanzi.”
8 Enye ingilosi eyesibili yalandela isithi: “Isiwile! IBhabhiloni Enkulu+ isiwile,+ leyo eyayisenza ukuthi izizwe zonke zinathe iwayini lenkanuko* yobufebe* bayo!”+
9 Enye ingilosi eyesithathu yazilandela imemeza isithi: “Loba ngubani okhonza isilo+ lesithombe saso futhi abekwe uphawu ebunzini kumbe esandleni sakhe,+
10 uzanatha lewayini lentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu elithululelwa enkomitshini yolaka lwakhe+ lingahlanganiswanga lalutho* njalo uzahlukuluzwa ngomlilo langesalufa+ phambi kwezingilosi ezingcwele laphambi kweMvana.
11 Intuthu yokuhlukuluzwa kwabo iyaphakama kuze kube nini lanini+ futhi akukho ukuphumula emini lebusuku kulabo abakhonza isilo lesithombe saso lakuloba ngubani owemukela uphawu lwebizo laso.+
12 Lapha yikho okufuneka khona ukuthi abangcwele baqinisele,+ labo abagcina imilayo kaNkulunkulu lababambelela ekholweni+ lukaJesu.”*
13 Ngezwa ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi, “Bhala uthi: Bayathokoza abafileyo, abafa bemanyene leNkosi+ kusukela ngalesisikhathi kusiya phambili. Umoya uthi ye, bayekele baphumule emisebenzini yabo ngoba izinto ababezenza zihamba labo.”
14 Ngathi ngiyakhangela ngabona nanti iyezi elimhlophe! Phezu kweyezi lelo kwakulomuntu owayenjengendodana yomuntu,+ elomqhele wegolide ekhanda lakhe futhi ephethe isikela ebukhali.
15 Enye ingilosi yaphuma endaweni engcwele yethempeli imemeza ngelizwi elikhulu isithi kulowo owayehlezi phezu kweyezi: “Thatha isikela yakho uvune ngoba ihora lokuvuna selifikile, isivuno somhlaba sesivuthwe ngokugcweleyo.”+
16 Owayehlezi phezu kweyezi welulela isikela yakhe emhlabeni, umhlaba wasuvunwa.
17 Kwaphuma lenye ingilosi endaweni engcwele yethempeli elisezulwini njalo layo yayilesikela ebukhali.
18 Kwaphinda kwaphuma enye ingilosi e-alithareni. Yayilamandla phezu komlilo futhi yamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu ikhuluma laleyo eyayilesikela ebukhali yathi: “Thatha isikela yakho ebukhali uvune izixha zamagilebisi omhlaba ngoba amagilebisi awo asevuthiwe.”+
19 Ingilosi yelulela isikela emhlabeni yavuna amagilebisi omhlaba yawaphosela esikhamelweni sewayini* esikhulu sentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu.+
20 Isikhamelo sewayini sanyathenyathelwa ngaphandle kwedolobho njalo igazi laphuma phandle kwesikhamelo sewayini, laphakama laze layafika ematomini amabhiza, okomango ongamastadiya angu-1 600.*
