ISambulo KuJohane 20:1-15
20 Ngasengibona ingilosi isehlela phansi ivela ezulwini ilekhiye yomgodi ongelamkhawulo+ leketane enkulu esandleni sayo.
2 Yawubamba umgobho,+ inyoka yokuqala+ enguDeveli+ loSathane,+ yambopha okweminyaka eyinkulungwane.
3 Yamphosela emgodini ongelamkhawulo+ yawuvala, yanameka uphawu phezu kwawo ukuze angaphindi adukise izizwe ize iphele iminyaka eyinkulungwane. Ngemva kwalokho kumele akhululwe okwesikhatshana.+
4 Ngaphinda ngabona izihlalo zobukhosi futhi ababehlezi kuzo baphiwa amandla okwahlulela. Ngayibona imiphefumulo* yalabo ababebulewe* ngenxa yokufakaza ngoJesu, langenxa yokukhuluma ngoNkulunkulu. Ngabona lalabo ababengasikhonzanga isilo loba isithombe saso njalo ababengalwamukelanga uphawu emabunzini abo lasezandleni zabo.+ Baphila, babusa bengamakhosi loKhristu+ okweminyaka eyinkulungwane.
5 (Bonke abanye abafileyo+ abazange baphile yaze yaphela iminyaka eyinkulungwane.) Lokhu yikuvuswa kwabafileyo kokuqala.+
6 Bayathokoza futhi bangcwele bonke abazavuka ekuvusweni kwabafileyo kokuqala.+ Ukufa kwesibili+ akulamandla phezu kwabo+ kodwa bazakuba ngabaphristi+ bakaNkulunkulu labakaKhristu njalo bazabusa laye bengamakhosi okweminyaka eyinkulungwane.+
7 Iminyaka eyinkulungwane izakuthi iphela nje, uSathane akhululwe entolongweni yakhe
8 futhi uzaphuma ayedukisa izizwe emagumbini amane omhlaba, uGogi loMagogi ukuze azibuthanisele ndawonye empini. Inani lazo lingangetshebetshebe yolwandle.
9 Bagcwala emhlabeni wonke bagombolozela lezihonqo zabangcwele ledolobho elithandekayo. Kodwa umlilo wehla uvela ezulwini wabatshabalalisa.+
10 UDeveli owayebadukisa waphoselwa echibini lomlilo lesalufa, lapho okwasekulesilo+ lomphrofethi wamanga+ njalo bazahlukuluzwa* emini lebusuku kuze kube nini lanini.
11 Ngasengibona isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe kanye lalowo owayehlezi kuso.+ Izulu lomhlaba kwabaleka+ phambi kwakhe njalo akuzange kutholelwe indawo.
12 Ngabona abafileyo, abakhulu labancane bemi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi kwasekuvulwa izincwadimgoqwa. Kodwa kwavulwa lenye incwadimgoqwa, incwadimgoqwa yokuphila.+ Abafileyo bahlulelwa ngezinto ezazibhalwe ezincwadinimgoqwa kusiya ngezenzo zabo.+
13 Ulwandle lwakhipha abafileyo ababekulo, ukufa lengcwaba lakho kwakhipha abafileyo ababekukho, ngamunye wasesahlulelwa kusiya ngezenzo zakhe.+
14 Ukufa lengcwaba kwaphoselwa echibini lomlilo.+ Ichibi lomlilo+ litsho ukufa kwesibili.+
15 Phezu kwalokho, loba ngubani ongatholakalanga ebhaliwe ebhukwini lokuphila+ waphoselwa echibini lomlilo.+
