Amabandla alikhomba

Kini akube mumusa nokuthula okuvela kuye okhona nogade avele akhona nozako, nakiyo imimoya elikhomba ephambi kwesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi 5nakuJesu Krestu ufakazi othembekileko, olizibulo labafileko noMbusi wamakhosi wephasi.
Kuye osithandako nowasihlenga ezonweni zethu ngeengazi zakhe, 6wasenza saba mbuso, saba baphristi bokulotjha uZimu uYise; akube kuye iphazimulo nobukhosi nini nanini. Amen.
7Qalani nango asiza ngamafu,
amehlo woke azambona,
ngitjho nalabo abamgwazako;
izizwe zoke zephasi zizokulila ngaye.
Iye, kuzokuba njalo! Amen.
8“Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega,” kutjho uSomnini uZimu, okhona nogade avele akhona nozako.
UJwanisi ubona uKrestu ngombono
9Mina Jwanisi, umzalwana wenu nomhlanganyeli kanye nani ekuhluphekeni, embusweni nekubekezeleni; bengisesihlengeleni sePatmosi ngebanga lelizwi lakaZimu nobufakazi ngoKrestu. 10BengikuMoya ngelanga leKosi; ngezwa ilizwi elikhulu lihlokoma njengeporompita ngemva kwami, 11lisithi: “Tlola lokho okubonako encwadini, ukuthumele emabandleni alikhomba, okutjho e-Efesu, eSimirna, ePherigamo, eThiyathira, eSaridisi, eFiladelfiya neLawodikeya.”
12Nje-ke ngaphenduka ngaqala bonyana ngibone bona bekungelikabani ilizwi ebelikhuluma kimi. Ekuphendukeni kwami ngakhangwa zizinti zeembani ezilikhomba zegolide; 13hlangana nezinti lezo ngabona ofana neNdodana yoMuntu embethe izambatho ezide, aqakanise nentambo yegolide esifubeni sakhe. 14Ihloko neenhluthu zakhe bezimhlophe twa njengoboya obumhlophe; amehlwakhe anjengamalangabi womlilo, 15iinyawo zakhe ziphazima njengedzila etsengiswe ngemlilweni; ilizwi lakhe libhodla njengamanzi amanengi. 16Esandleni sakhe bekaphethe iinkwekwezi ezilikhomba, emlonyenakhe kwavela isabula ebukhali ncazombili, ubuso bakhe baphazima njengelanga elibaleleko. 17Ngathi nangimbonako ngaduleka phasi eenyaweni zakhe njengofileko. Wabeka isandla sakhe sesidla phezu kwami wathi: “Ungesabi, ngingewokuthoma newokuphela; 18ngingophilako! Bengifile, kodwana qala-ke sengiphila ngokungapheliko, begodu ngiphethe iinhluthulelo zokufa nezephasi labafileko. 19Tlola-ke okubonileko, okukhona nalokho okuzakwenzeka emva kwalokhu. 20Ifihlakalo yeenkwekwezi ezilikhomba ozibonileko ngesidleni sami kanye nezinti zegolide zeembani ezilikhomba zingilokhu: Iinkwekwezi ezilikhomba ziziingilozi zamabandla alikhomba nezinti zeembani ezilikhomba zegolide zimabandla alikhomba.”
