ISityhilelo Esiya KuYohane 19:1-21
19 Emva koko ndeva into engathi lilizwi elikhulu lesihlwele esikhulu ezulwini. Sathi eso sihlwele: “Dumisani uYa!*+ Usindiso nozuko namandla ngakaThixo wethu,
2 kuba imigwebo yakhe ithembekile yaye ibubulungisa.+ Kaloku uye wamgweba unongogo* omkhulu oye wangcolisa umhlaba ngokuziphatha kakubi ngesondo,* ibe uye waliphindezela igazi lamakhoboka akhe eliphalazwe ngulo nongogo.”+
3 Zisuka nje esi sihlwele satsho okwesibini sathi: “Dumisani uYa!*+ Umsi weBhabhiloni unyuka ngonaphakade kanaphakade.”+
4 Abadala abayi-24+ nezidalwa eziphilayo ezine+ bawa phantsi baza bamkhonza uThixo ohleli etroneni, bathi: “Amen! Dumisani uYa!”*+
5 Kwaphuma nelizwi etroneni lathi: “Mdumiseni uThixo wethu, nonke nina makhoboka akhe+ amoyikayo, abo bancinci nabakhulu.”+
6 Ndeva nento engathi lilizwi lesihlwele esikhulu nengathi sisandi samanzi amaninzi neseendudumo ezinkulu. Sathi: “Dumisani uYa,*+ kuba uYehova uThixo wethu, uSomandla,+ uqalisile ukuba ngukumkani.+
7 Masonwabe, sivuye kakhulu size simzukise, kuba umtshato weMvana* ufikile, nomfazi wayo uzilungisile.
8 Uvunyelwe ukuba anxibe ilinen yodidi, ekhazimlayo necocekileyo, kuba ilinen yodidi imela izinto ezilungileyo ezenziwa ngabo bangcwele.”+
9 Ingelosi yathi kum: “Bhala uthi: Bayavuya abo bamenyiweyo kwisidlo sangokuhlwa somtshato weMvana.”*+ Yaphinda yathi: “La ngamazwi ayinyaniso kaThixo.”
10 Emva koko ndawa phantsi phambi kwayo ukuze ndiyinqule. Kodwa yathi kum: “Lumka! Ungayenzi loo nto!+ Ndilikhoboka njengawe nabazalwana bakho abanomsebenzi wokungqina ngoYesu.+ Khonza uThixo!+ Kuba injongo yesiprofeto kukunikela ubungqina ngoYesu.”+
11 Ndabona izulu livulekile, yaye jonga! kwakukho ihashe elimhlophe.+ Lowo wayehleli kulo ubizwa ngokuba nguThembekile+ noNyaniso,+ yaye ugweba aze alwe imfazwe ngobulungisa.+
12 Amehlo akhe alidangatye lomlilo,+ yaye unezithsaba ezininzi entloko. Unegama elibhaliweyo ekungekho mntu ulaziyo ngaphandle kwakhe,
13 unxityiswe isambatho sangaphezulu esinegazi,* kwaye ubizwa ngokuba nguLizwi+ likaThixo.
14 Wayelandelwa yimikhosi yasezulwini, ikhwele amahashe amhlophe, inxibe ilinen yodidi emhlophe necocekileyo.
15 Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma ikrele elide elibukhali,+ ukuze azixabele ngalo iintlanga, ibe uza kuzalusa ngentonga yentsimbi.+ Uxovula nesixovulelo sewayini yomsindo omkhulu kaThixo uSomandla.+
16 Kwisambatho sakhe sangaphezulu, ethangeni lakhe, kubhalwe igama elithi, Kumkani wookumkani neNkosi yeenkosi.+
17 Ndabona nengelosi imi elangeni, yaza ngelizwi elikhulu yakhwaza iintaka ezibhabha esibhakabhakeni yathi: “Yizani apha, qokelelanani nize kwisidlo sangokuhlwa esikhulu sikaThixo,+
18 ukuze nitye inyama yookumkani, eyabaphathi-mikhosi, eyabantu abanamandla,+ eyamahashe nabakhweli bawo+ nenyama yabo bonke, abakhululekileyo namakhoboka, abancinci nabakhulu.”
19 Ndabona irhamncwa nookumkani bomhlaba nemikhosi yabo bedibene ukuze balwe imfazwe nalowo uhleli ehasheni kunye nomkhosi wakhe.+
20 Irhamncwa labanjwa, lona kunye nomprofeti wobuxoki+ owayesenza imiqondiso phambi kwalo, elahlekisa abantu abamkela uphawu lwerhamncwa+ nabo bakhonza umfanekiso walo.+ Bobabini baphoswa bephila kwichibi lomlilo elivutha isalfure.+
21 Bonke abanye babulawa ngekrele elide elaliphuma emlonyeni walowo ukhwele ihashe.+ Zonke iintaka zayitya zahlutha inyama yabo.+
