IsiTyhilelo 22
1 Saza sandibonisa umlambo wamanzi obomi, uqaqambile, ngathi ngumkhenkce, uphuma etroneni kaThixo neyeMvana.2 Phakathi kwesitrato sawo, ngapha nangapha komlambo, ngumthi wobomi, ovelisa iintlobo zeziqhamo ezilishumi elinambini, unika iinyanga ngeenyanga zonke isiqhamo sawo; aye amagqabi omthi lowo engawokuphilisa iintlanga.3 Akusayi kuba sabakho nasinye isiqalekiso; yaye itrone kaThixo neyeMvana iya kubakho kuwo; abakhonzi bakhe bamkhonze,4 babubone ubuso bakhe, negama lakhe libe semabunzini abo.5 Akuyi kubakho busuku khona; abafuni sibane, nakukhanya kwelanga, ngokuba iNkosi uThixo ibakhanyisela; baya kuba ngookumkani, kuse emaphakadeni asema phakadeni.
6 Saza sathi kum, La mazwi athembekile, ayinyaniso; iNkosi, uThixo wabaprofeti abangcwele, yathuma isithunywa sayo sasemazulwini ukubabonisa abakhonzi bayo izinto ezimele ukubakho kamsinya.7 Yabona, ndiyeza kamsinya; unoyolo lowo uwagcinayo amazwi esiprofeto sayo le ncwadi.8 Mna, Yohane, ndingulowo ubezibona ezi zinto, eziva; ndathi ndakuva, ndakubona, ndawa ndaqubuda phambi kweenyawo zesithunywa sezulu esandibonisa ezi zinto.9 Sithi kum, Lumka, ungenjenjalo; kuba ndingumkhonzi kunye nawe, nabazalwana bakho abaprofeti, nabo bawagcinayo amazwi ale ncwadi; qubuda kuThixo.10 Sithi kum, Musa ukuwatywina amazwi esiprofeto sale ncwadi; ngokuba ixesha likufuphi.11 Lowo ungalungisiyo, makaselehlala engalungisi; lowo uyinyhukunyhuku, makaselehlala eyinyhukunyhuku; nolilungisa makaselehlala elungisa; nongcwele makaselehlala ezingcwalisile.12 Yabona, ndiyeza kamsinya; umvuzo wam unam, ukuba ndivuze elowo njengoko umsebenzi wakhe uya kuba njalo.13 Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphelo, owokuqala nowokugqibela.14 Banoyolo abo bayenzayo imithetho yakhe, ukuze igunya labo libe semthini wobomi, bangene ngamasango kuwo umzi.15 Ngaphandle ke zizinja, nabakhafuli, nabenzi bombulo, nababulali, nabakhonzi bezithixo, nabo bonke ababuthandayo, ababenzayo ubuxoki.16 Mna, Yesu, ndasithuma isithunywa sam sasemazulwini, ukuba ndizingqine kuni ezi zinto ngawo amabandla. Mna ndiyingcambu nenzala kaDavide, ikhwezi eliqaqambileyo lokusa.17 UMoya nomtshakazi bathi, Yiza. Lowo uvayo makathi, Yiza. Lowo unxaniweyo makeze; lowo uthandayo, makawathabathe amanzi obomi ngesisa.18 Kuba ndiyangqina kubantu bonke abawevayo amazwi esiprofeto sale ncwadi, ukuba, Xa athe umntu wongeza kwezo zinto, uThixo uya kongeza kuye izibetho ezibhaliweyo kule ncwadi;19 ukuba ke uthe umntu wasusa kuwo amazwi encwadi yesi siprofeto, uThixo uya kusisusa isabelo sakhe encwadini yobomi, nakuwo umzi ongcwele, nakuzo izinto ezibhaliweyo kule ncwadi.
20 Uthi lowo uzingqinayo ezi zinto, Ewe, ndiyeza kamsinya. Amen. Ewe, yiza, Nkosi Yesu.21 Ubabalo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu malube nani nonke. Amen.
