Revelation of John 5

Umqulu LeWundlu

1 Esandleni sakhe sokunene lowo owayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, ngabona umqulu ulombhalo emaceleni womabili unanyekwe ngezimpawu eziyisikhombisa. 2 Ngabuya ngabona ingilosi elamandla imemeza ngelizwi eliphakemeyo isithi, “Ngubani ofanele ukuqhaqha izimpawu avule umqulu na?”

3 Kodwa kakho ezulwini loba emhlabeni loba ngaphansi komhlaba owayengawuvula umqulu kumbe akhangele phakathi kwawo. 4 Ngakhala, ngakhala ngoba kakho owatholakala efanele ukuwuvula umqulu loba ukukhangela phakathi kwawo. 5 Omunye wabadala wathi kimi, “Ungakhali! Khangela, iSilwane sesizwana sakoJuda, iMpande kaDavida, sinqobile. Sizakwanelisa ukuwuvula umqulu lezimpawu zawo eziyisikhombisa.”

6 Ngabona iWundlu, kukhanya angathi lalibulewe, limi ngaphakathi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, lizingelezwe yizidalwa eziphilayo ezine labadala. Lalilezimpondo eziyisikhombisa lamehlo ayisikhombisa, okungomoya abayisikhombisa baka-Nkulunkulu abathunywe emhlabeni wonke. 7 Leza lathatha umqulu esandleni sokunene salowo owayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi. 8 Esewuthethe, izidalwa ezine eziphilayo labadala abangamatshumi amabili lane bawela phansi phambi kweWundlu. Omunye lomunye wabo wayelechacho njalo babephethe imiganu yegolide igcwele impepha, eyimikhuleko yabangcwele. 9 Bahlabela ingoma entsha bathi: “Wena ufanele ukuwuthatha umqulu lokuvula izimpawu zawo, ngokuba wabulawa, kwathi ngegazi lakho wathengela uNkulunkulu abantu bezizwana zonke lezindimi labantu kanye lezizwe.

10 Ubenze baba ngumbuso labaphristi ukuba bakhonze uNkulunkulu wethu, njalo bazabusa emhlabeni.”

11 Ngakhangela ngasengisizwa amazwi ezingilosi ezinengi, ezaziyizinkulungwane lezinkulungwane, lezinkulungwane ezilitshumi ziphindwe okuzinkulungwane ezilitshumi. Zazizingeleze isihlalo sobukhosi lezidalwa eziphilayo kanye labadala. 12 Zahlabela ngamazwi aphezulu zisithi: “Lifanele iWundlu, elabulawayo, Ukwamukela amandla lenotho lenhlakanipho lokuqina lodumo lenkazimulo kanye lokudunyiswa!”

13 Ngezwa izidalwa zonke ezulwini lasemhlabeni langaphansi komhlaba laselwandle lakho konke okukukho, kuhlabela kusithi: “Kuye ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi lakulo iWundlu kakube lenhlonipho lodumo lenkazimulo kanye lamandla kuze kube nininini!”

14 Izidalwa ezine eziphilayo zathi, “Ameni,” kwathi abadala bawela phansi bakhonza.
