IsAmbulo Esiya KuJohane 19:1-21
19 Ngemva kwalokhu, ngezwa okungathi izwi elikhulu lesixuku esikhulu ezulwini. Sathi: “Dumisani uJah! *+ Insindiso nenkazimulo namandla kungokukaNkulunkulu wethu,
2 ngoba izahlulelo zakhe ziyiqiniso futhi zilungile. + Ngoba usikhiphile isahlulelo phezu kwesifebe esikhulu esonakalisa umhlaba ngokuziphatha kabi kwaso ngokocansi,* waliphindiselela negazi lezinceku zakhe elisezandleni zaso.” *+
3 Ngaso leso sikhathi saphinda okwesibili sathi: “Dumisani uJah! *+ Intuthu ephuma kuso isifebe inyuka kuze kube phakade naphakade.” +
4 Abadala abangu-24 + nezidalwa ezine eziphilayo + bawa phansi bakhulekela uNkulunkulu ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, bathi: “Amen! Dumisani uJah!” *+
5 Kwaphuma izwi esihlalweni sobukhosi lathi: “Dumisani uNkulunkulu wethu, nonke nina zinceku zakhe, + ezimesabayo, abantukazana nezikhulu.” +
6 Ngezwa futhi okwakunjengokungathi izwi lesixuku esikhulu, kunjengomsindo wamanzi amaningi nanjengomsindo wokuduma okukhulu kwezulu. Sithi: “Dumisani uJah, *+ ngoba uJehova* uNkulunkulu wethu, uMninimandla Onke, + useqalile ukubusa njengenkosi! +
7 Masijabule sichichime injabulo, futhi simnike inkazimulo, ngoba umshado weWundlu ufikile nomkalo uzilungisile.
8 Yebo, unikwe ukuba agqoke ilineni elikhanyayo, elihlanzekile, nelisezingeni eliphezulu—ngoba ilineni elisezingeni eliphezulu limelela izenzo ezilungile zabangcwele.” +
9 Yathi kimi, “Bhala: Bayajabula abamenyelwe esidlweni sakusihlwa somshado weWundlu.” + Yaphinde yathi kimi: “Lawa ngamazwi eqiniso kaNkulunkulu.”
10 Ngawa phansi phambi kwezinyawo zayo ukuze ngiyikhulekele. Kodwa yathi kimi: “Qaphela! Ungakwenzi lokho! + Ngimane nje ngiyinceku kanye nawe nabafowenu abanomsebenzi wokufakaza ngoJesu. + Khulekela uNkulunkulu! + Ngoba ukufakaza ngoJesu yikho okuphefumulela isiprofetho.” +
11 Ngabona izulu livulekile, kwaphuma ihhashi elimhlophe. + Oligibele ubizwa ngokuthi oThembekile + noQinisile, + wahlulela futhi alwe ngokulunga. +
12 Amehlo akhe ayilangabi lomlilo + nasekhanda lakhe kukhona imiqhele eminingi.* Unegama elibhaliwe elingaziwa muntu ngaphandle kwakhe,
13 ugqoke ingubo yangaphandle echaphazelwe yigazi,* igama abizwa ngalo nguLizwi + KaNkulunkulu.
14 Amabutho asezulwini ayemlandela egibele amahhashi amhlophe, egqoke ilineni elimhlophe, elihlanzekile, elisezingeni eliphezulu.
15 Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma inkemba ende ebukhali, + ukuze ashaye ngayo izizwe, futhi uyozelusa ngenduku yensimbi. + Ngaphezu kwalokho, unyathela isikhamo sewayini solaka oluvuthayo lukaNkulunkulu uMninimandla Onke. +
16 Engutsheni yakhe yangaphandle, yebo, ethangeni lakhe, unegama elibhaliwe, iNkosi yamakhosi noMbusi wababusi. +
17 Ngabona futhi ingelosi imi elangeni, yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu yathi kuzo zonke izinyoni ezindiza emkhathini: “Wozani lapha, buthanani ndawonye esidlweni sakusihlwa esikhulu sikaNkulunkulu, +
18 ukuze nidle inyama yamakhosi nenyama yezinduna zamabutho nenyama yamadoda anamandla + nenyama yamahhashi neyalabo abawagibele + nenyama yabo bonke, eyabakhululekile neyezigqila, eyabantukazana neyezikhulu.”
19 Ngaphinde ngabona kubuthene ndawonye isilo sasendle namakhosi omhlaba namabutho awo ngenjongo yokulwa nalowo ohlezi ehhashini nebutho lakhe. +
20 Isilo sasendle sabanjwa, sabanjwa nomprofethi wamanga + owenza izibonakaliso phambi kwaso, lezo adukisa ngazo labo abamukela uphawu lwesilo sasendle + nalabo abakhulekela isithombe saso. + Baphonswa bobabili besaphila echibini lomlilo ovutha isibabule. +
21 Kodwa bonke abanye babulawa ngenkemba ende eyaphuma emlonyeni walowo ogibele ihhashi. + Zonke izinyoni zasutha inyama yabo. +
