ISityhilelo Esiya KuYohane

10 Ndabona enye ingelosi eyomeleleyo isihla ivela ezulwini, yambethe ilifu, kwintloko yayo kukho umnyama, ubuso bayo bunjengelanga,+ nemilenze yayo* injengeentsika zomlilo, 2 iphethe umsongo omncinci ovulekileyo. Yabeka unyawo lwayo lwasekunene elwandle, olwasekhohlo lwaba semhlabeni. 3 Yakhwaza ngelizwi elikhulu kwangathi kugquma ingonyama.+ Xa yakhwazayo, kwathetha amazwi eendudumo+ ezisixhenxe.

4 Ndithe xa ndiza kuyibhala into eyayithethwa ziindudumo ezisixhenxe, ndeva ilizwi liphuma ezulwini+ lisithi: “Zenze zibe yimfihlo izinto ezithethwe ziindudumo ezisixhenxe, ungazibhali phantsi.” 5 Ingelosi endayibonayo imi elwandle nasemhlabeni yaphakamisela isandla sayo sasekunene ezulwini, 6 yafunga ngaLowo uphila ngonaphakade kanaphakade,+ owadala izulu nezinto ezikulo, nomhlaba nezinto ezikuwo, nolwandle nezinto ezikulo,+ yathi: “Akuzukulityaziswa. 7 Kodwa iza kuthi yakufika imihla yokuba ingelosi yesixhenxe+ ivuthele ixilongo layo,+ igqitywe imfihlelo engcwele+ kaThixo ngokweendaba ezilungileyo awazixelela amakhoboka akhe angabaprofeti.”+

8 Kwakhona ndeva ilizwi ezulwini+ lisithi kum: “Hamba, uyokuthatha la msongo uvulekileyo osesandleni sengelosi emi elwandle nasemhlabeni.”+ 9 Ndaya kwingelosi ndaza ndathi mayindinike umsongo omncinci. Yona yathi kum: “Wuthathe, uwutye uwugqibe,+ yaye siza kuba buhlungu* isisu sakho, kodwa emlonyeni wakho uza kuba mnandi njengobusi.” 10 Ndawuthatha umsongo omncinci kwingelosi, ndawutya.+ Emlonyeni wam wawumnandi njengobusi,+ kodwa emva kokuba ndiwugqibile saba buhlungu* isisu sam. 11 Kwathiwa kum: “Umele uprofete kwakhona ngezinto eziza kwenzeka kwizizwana, kwiintlanga, kwiilwimi nakookumkani abaninzi.”
