Ezulwini
1Ngemva kwalokhu, ngaqala ngabona ezulwini umnyango uvulekile. Ilizwi lokuthoma engalizwako likhuluma nami belinjengeporompita, lisithi: “Akhese unyukele lapha ngizokutjengisa bona kuzokwenzekani emva kwalokhu!” 2Khona lapho ngaba kuMoya, ngabona isihlalo sobukhosi ezulwini kukhona obekahlezi kiso. 3Loyo obekahlezi lapho bekabonakala anjengelitje lejasiperi nesardiyo; begodu esihlalweni sobukhosi mazombe kunezungu leKosi elibonakala inga yimabula. 4Esihlalweni sobukhosi mazombe bekunezinye iinhlalo ezimatjhumi amabili nane, phezu kwazo kuhlezi abaphathi abamatjhumi amabili nane, bembethe izambatho ezimhlophe bathwele neehlohlo zegolide. 5Khona esihlalweni sobukhosi lapho kwabaneka imibani, kwezwakala umdumo neensaba zokuraramba. Phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi leso kwavutha iimbani ezilikhomba ezimimoya elikhomba yakaZimu. 6Godu phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi bekunokuthileko okuqaleka inga lilwandle lerhalasi, kudarhe njengekristali.
Esihlalweni sobukhosi mazombe nangemahlangothini woke waso kukhona iimbunjwa ezine eziphilako, zigcwele amehlo ngaphambili nangemuva. 7Isibunjwa sokuthoma besifana nengwenyama, sesibili sifana nekunzi, sesithathu sinobuso bomuntu, sesine sifana nekhozi eliphaphako. 8Iimbunjwa ezine lezi bezineempiko ezisithandathu ngasinye, zembethwe mamehlo ngaphakathi nangaphandle. Bezingaqedi ukurhuba imini nobusuku zithi:
“Ucwengile, ucwengile, ucwengile,
uSomnini uZimu uMninimandlawoke,
obekavele akhona,
okhona nozako!”
9Kwathi lokha iimbunjwa eziphilakwezi nazimdumisa, zimhlonipha begodu zimthokoza loyo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, iye, yena ophila nini nanini, 10abaphathi abamatjhumi amabili nane bawa phasi phambi kwaloyo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi balotjha loyo ophila isiphelani; baphosa iinhlohlo zabo phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi bathi:
11“Ufanele wena Somnini Zimethu,
ukwamukela idumo, ubukhosi namandla
ngombana nguwe owabumba koke
begodu koke okukhona
kwadalwa ngentando yakho.”
