IJerusalema elisha
1Wayesengikhombisa umfula wamanzi okuphila ucwebezela njengekristalu,* uvela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu. 2Phakathi kwesitaladi sawo nomfula emaceleni omabili kukhona umuthi wokuphila, uthela izithelo eziyishumi nambili, uthela izithelo zawo izinyanga ngezinyanga, namaqabunga omuthi angawokuphulukisa izizwe. 3Akusayikuba khona nokukodwa ukuqalekisa. Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu siyakuba kuwo, nezinceku zakhe ziyakumkhonza, 4zibone ubuso bakhe, negama lakhe liyakuba semabunzini azo. 5Ubusuku abusayikuba khona; abadingi ukukhanya kwesibani nokukhanya kwelanga, ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu iyakubakhanyisela; bayakubusa phakade naphakade.

6Yayisithi kimi: “Lawo mazwi athembekile, aqinisile, neNkosi uNkulunkulu wemimoya yabaprofethi iyithumile ingelosi yayo ukuzikhombisa izinceku zayo okuzakwenzeka masinyane.”
7“Bheka, ngiyeza masinyane. Ubusisiwe ogcina amazwi esiprofetho sale ncwadi.”
8Mina Johane nginguye owezwa nowabona lezi zinto. Kuthe sengizwile, sengibonile, ngawa phansi ukuba ngikhuleke phambi kwezinyawo zengelosi engikhombisile lezo zinto. 9Yayisithi kimi: “Musa; ngiyinceku kanye nawe nabazalwane bakho abaprofethi nabagcina amazwi ale ncwadi; khuleka kuNkulunkulu.”
10Yathi kimi: “Ungavali ngophawu amazwi esiprofetho sale ncwadi, ngokuba isikhathi siseduze. 11Ongalungile makenze njalo okungalungile, nongcolileyo makazingcolise njalo, kepha olungileyo makenze njalo ukulunga, nongcwele makazingcwelise njalo.”
12“Bheka, ngiyeza masinyane, nomvuzo wami unami ukumnika yilowo nalowo njengokomsebenzi wakhe. 13Ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, owokuqala nowokuphela, isiqalo nesigcino.
14“Babusisiwe abahlanza izingubo zabo ukuba bathole ilungelo labo emthini wokuphila, bangene emzini ngamasango. 15Ngaphandle kukhona izinja, nabathakathi, nezifebe, nababulali, nabakhonza izithombe, nabo bonke abathanda nabenza amanga.
16“Mina Jesu ngithumile ingelosi yami ukufakaza kini lezi zinto emabandleni. Ngiyimpande nenzalo kaDavide, inkanyezi yokusa ecwebezelayo.” 17UMoya nomlobokazi bathi: “Woza!” Nozwayo makathi: “Woza!” Nowomileyo makeze; othandayo makathabathe amanzi okuphila ngesihle.
18Ngiyafakaza mina kubo bonke abezwayo amazwi esiprofetho sale ncwadi; uma ekhona owenezela kulokhu, uNkulunkulu uyakwenezela kuye izinhlupho ezilotshiwe kule ncwadi; 19futhi uma ekhona osusa utho kuwo amazwi encwadi yalesi siprofetho, uNkulunkulu uyakususa isabelo sakhe emthini wokuphila, nasemzini ongcwele, nakulokhu okulotshiwe kule ncwadi.
20Ofakaza ngalezi zinto uthi: “Yebo, ngiyeza masinyane.”
Amen. Woza, Nkosi Jesu!
21Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu mawube nani nonke.
Amen.
