21Ngasengibona izulu elitsha lomhlaba omutshaa; ngoba izulu lokuqala lomhlaba wokuqala kwasekudlulileb, lolwandle lungasekhoc. 2 Mina Johane ngasengibonad umuzi ongcwelee, iJerusalema entshaf, usehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwinig, ulungisiwe njengomakotih ececiselwe umkakhei. 3 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi elikhulu livela ezulwini, lisithi: Khangela, ithabhanekele likaNkulunkulu lisebantwinij, njalo uzahlala labok, futhi bona bazakuba ngabantu bakhel, loNkulunkulu uqobo uzakuba labom, enguNkulunkulu wabo; 4 njalo uNkulunkulu uzakwesula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abon, lokufa kakusayikuba khonao; kumbe ukulila, kumbe ukukhala, loba ubuhlungu abusayikuba khonap; ngoba izinto zakuqala sezidlulileq.

5 Wasesithi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosir: Khangela, ngenza zonke izinto zibentshas. Wasesithi kimi: Bhalat; ngoba lamazwi aqinisile njalo athembekileu. 6 Wasesithi kimi: Sekwenzakelev. Mina nginguAlfa loOmegaw, ukuqala lokucinax. Mina ngizamnika owomileyo okuvela emthonjeni wamanzi empiloy ngesihlez. 7 Onqobayoa uzakudla ilifab lazo zonke izintoc; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wakhed, laye abe yindodana yamie. 8 Kodwa amagwala labangakholwayof labanengekayog lababulalih i leziphingij k labathakathil m labakhonza izithomben labo bonke abaqambimangao p, bazakuba lesabelo saboq echibini elivutha umlilo lesibabuler, okuyikufa kwesibilis.

9 Kwasekusiza kimi enyet yengilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa egcwele izinhlupheko zokucina eziyisikhombisau, yasikhuluma lami, isithi: Woza laphav, ngizakutshengisa umakoti, umkaWundluw. 10 Yasingithwalax ngikuMoya yaya entabeni enkulu lendey, yasingitshengisa umuzi omkhulu, iJerusalema engcwelez, usehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu, 11 ulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulua; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengelitshe eliligugu elikhulukazi njengelitshe ijaspi*b, likhanyisa njengekristali*c; 12 njalo ulomduli omkhulu lophakemeyo, ulamasango alitshumi lambilid e, lemasangweni ingilosi ezilitshumi lambili, lamabizo ebhalwe kiwo, angawezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zabantwana bakoIsrayeli. 13 Empumalangaf g kwakulamasango amathathuh; enyakatho, amasango amathathu; eningizimu, amasango amathathu; lentshonalanga, amasango amathathu. 14 Lomduli womuzi wawulezisekelo ezilitshumi lambilii j, lakuzo amabizo abaphostoli abalitshumi lambili beWundluk.

15 Lowayekhuluma lami wayelomhlanga wegolide, ukuze alinganise umuzil, lamasango awo, lomduli wawom. 16 Umuzi wawumiswe walingana inhlangothi zozine, lobude bawo babungangobubanzi. Waselinganisa umuzi ngomhlangan waba ngamastadiyu* azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambilio; ubudep lobubanziq lokuphakama kwawor kuyalinganas. 17 Waselinganisa umduli wawo, ingalo ezilikhulu lamatshumi amane lanet, isilinganiso somuntuu, esingesengilosiv. 18 Njalo kwakulesakhiwo somduli wawo phakathi, ijaspiw; lomuzi uligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ehlanzekileyox. 19 Lezisekeloy zomduli womuzi zaziceciswez ngalo lonke ilitshe eliligugu. Isisekelo sokuqala, ijaspia; esesibili, isafire*b c; esesithathu, ikalkedoni*; esesine, i-emeraldi*d; 20 esesihlanu, isaridonikisi*e; esesithupha, isardiyusi*f; esesikhombisa, ikrisolite*g; esesificaminwembili, ibherule*; esesificamunwemunye, itopazi*h; esetshumi, ikrisoprase*; esetshumi lanye, ihiyakinte*i; esetshumi lambili, i-ametiste*j. 21 Lamasango alitshumi lambili angamapharele*k alitshumi lambili; yilelo ngalinye ngalinye lamasango lilipharele linye; njalo isitaladal somuzi sasiligolide elicwengekileyo, njengengilazi ekhanyelayom.

22 Njalo kangibonanga ithempeli phakathi kwawon; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uSomandlao ulithempeli lawo, leWundlu. 23 Lomuzi kawusweli langa, kumbe inyanga, ukuthi kukhanyise kuwop; ngoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkuluq r iyawukhanyisa, lesibane sawo liWundlu; 24 lezizwes zabasindisiweyo zizahamba ekukhanyeni kwawot; lamakhosi omhlaba aletha ubukhosi lodumo lwawo kuwou; 25 lamasango awo kawasoze avalwe eminiv, ngoba kakuyikuba khona ubusuku laphow; 26 njalo bazaletha kuwo ubukhosi lodumo lwezizwex; 27 njalo kakusoze kwangena lolulodwa ulutho olungcolileyo kuwoy, njalo lokwenza okunengekayoz lamangaa; ngaphandle kwabalotshiweyo egwalweni lwempilo lweWundlub.
