ISityhilelo Esiya KuYohane 4:1-11
4 Emva kwezi zinto, ndabona umnyango ovulekileyo ezulwini, yaye ilizwi lokuqala endalivayo lithetha nam lalingathi sisandi sexilongo. Elo lizwi lalisithi: “Nyuka uze apha, ndiza kukubonisa izinto ezimele zenzeke.”
2 Ngokukhawuleza emva koko ndaba nomoya kaThixo, yaye jonga! Ndabona nantso itrone ikwindawo yayo ezulwini, kukho umntu ohleli kuyo.+
3 Lowo wayehleli etroneni wayekhazimla njengelitye leyaspisi+ nelitye elixabisekileyo elimbala ubomvu, itrone yonke ijikelezwe ngumnyama onjenge-emeraldi.+
4 Le trone yayijikelezwe zezinye iitrone eziyi-24, kuzo ndabona kuhleli abadala abayi-24+ benxibe iimpahla ezimhlophe, bethwele izithsaba zegolide entloko.
5 Kule trone kwakuphuma nemibane,+ amazwi neendudumo,+ yaye kukho izibane zomlilo ezisixhenxe ezivuthayo phambi kwayo, zona zimela oomoya abasixhenxe bakaThixo.+
6 Phambi kwetrone kwakukho into engathi lulwandle lweglasi+ enjengekristale.
Ngakwitrone* nakwindawo eyijikelezileyo kwakukho izidalwa eziphilayo ezine+ ezigcwele amehlo ngaphambili nangasemva.
7 Isidalwa esiphilayo sokuqala sasinjengengonyama,+ esesibini isidalwa esiphilayo sinjengethole lenkomo eliyinkunzi,+ esesithathu isidalwa esiphilayo+ sinobuso obunjengobomntu, yaye esesine isidalwa esiphilayo+ sinjengokhozi olubhabhayo.+
8 Isidalwa ngasinye esiphilayo kwezo zine, sasinamaphiko amathandathu anamehlo kuyo yonke indawo nangaphantsi.+ Kwaye imini nobusuku zazisithi: “Ungcwele, ungcwele, ungcwele uYehova*+ uThixo, uSomandla, lowo wayekho nokhoyo nozayo.”+
9 Xa ezi zidalwa ziphilayo zimzukisa, zimnika imbeko yaye zimbulela Lowo uhleli etroneni, Lowo uphila ngonaphakade kanaphakade,+
10 abadala abayi-24+ baguqa phambi kwaLowo uhleli etroneni, bamnqule Lowo uphila ngonaphakade kanaphakade, baze baphose izithsaba zabo phambi kwetrone, besithi:
11 “Ufanele Yehova* Thixo wethu onamandla,+ ukwamkela uzuko+ nembeko,+ kuba wadala zonke izinto,+ nangenxa yokuthanda kwakho zabakho yaye zadalwa.”
