IsAmbulo Esiya KuJohane 7:1-17
7 Ngemva kwalokhu ngabona izingelosi ezine zimi emagumbini amane omhlaba, zibambe imimoya emine yomhlaba zayiqinisa, ukuze kungabikho moya ovunguzayo emhlabeni noma olwandle noma kunoma yisiphi isihlahla.
2 Ngabona enye ingelosi inyuka ivela empumalanga, inophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo; yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu izingelosi ezine ezazinikwe ukuba zilimaze umhlaba nolwandle,
3 yathi: “Ningawulimazi umhlaba noma ulwandle noma izihlahla, kuze kube yilapho sesizibeke uphawu + izinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu eziphongweni zazo.” +
4 Ngezwa isibalo salabo ababekwa uphawu, bangu-144 000 + ababekwa uphawu kuzo zonke izizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli: +
5 Esizweni sakwaJuda bangu-12 000 ababekwa uphawu;esizweni sakwaRubeni bangu-12 000;esizweni sakwaGadi bangu-12 000;
6 esizweni sakwa-Asheri bangu-12 000;esizweni sakwaNafetali bangu-12 000;esizweni sakwaManase + bangu-12 000;
7 esizweni sakwaSimeyoni bangu-12 000;esizweni sakwaLevi bangu-12 000;esizweni sakwa-Isakare bangu-12 000;
8 esizweni sakwaZebhuloni bangu-12 000;esizweni sakwaJosefa bangu-12 000;esizweni sakwaBhenjamini bangu-12 000 ababekwa uphawu.
9 Ngemva kwalokhu, ngabona isixuku esikhulu, okungekho muntu owakwazi ukusibala, siphuma kuzo zonke izizwe nezinhlanga nabantu nezilimi, + simi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi naphambi kweWundlu, sigqoke izingubo ezimhlophe; + kukhona amagatsha esundu ezandleni zaso. +
10 Siqhubeka simemeza ngezwi elikhulu, sithi: “Insindiso yethu ivela kuNkulunkulu wethu, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, + nakulo iWundlu.” +
11 Zonke izingelosi zazimi zizungeze isihlalo sobukhosi nabadala + nezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, futhi zawa ngobuso phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi zakhulekela uNkulunkulu,
12 zithi: “Amen! Ukudunyiswa nenkazimulo nokuhlakanipha nokubonga nodumo namandla makube kuNkulunkulu wethu kuze kube phakade naphakade. + Amen.”
13 Ebona lokhu omunye kubadala wathi kimi: “Laba abagqoke izingubo ezimhlophe, + bangobani futhi bavelaphi?”
14 Ngaso leso sikhathi ngathi kuye: “Nkosi yami, nguwe owaziyo.” Wathi kimi: “Laba yilabo abaphuma osizini olukhulu, + abaye bawasha izingubo zabo zaba mhlophe egazini leWundlu. +
15 Yingakho bephambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, banikela inkonzo engcwele kuye imini nobusuku ethempelini lakhe; Lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi + uyokwendlala itende lakhe phezu kwabo. +
16 Ngeke besalamba noma besoma, ilanga nanoma yikuphi ukushisa okuhangulayo ngeke kusabashisa, +
17 ngoba iWundlu, + eliseceleni* kwesihlalo sobukhosi, liyobelusa, + futhi liyobaqondisa emithonjeni* yamanzi okuphila. + UNkulunkulu uyosula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo.” +
