ISityhilelo Esiya KuYohane
16 Ndeva ilizwi elikhulu liphuma kwindawo engcwele+ lisithi kwiingelosi ezisixhenxe: “Hambani niyokuwugalela umsindo kaThixo okwizitya ezisixhenxe.”+
2 Yahamba eyokuqala, yasigalela isitya sayo emhlabeni.+ Abantu ababenophawu lwerhamncwa+ nababekhonza umfanekiso walo+ baba nesilonda esibuhlungu nesinwenwayo.+
3 Eyesibini yasigalela elwandle isitya sayo.+ Ulwandle lwajika lwaba ligazi+ elifana nelomntu ofileyo, zaza zafa zonke izidalwa eziphilayo, yonke into eselwandle.+
4 Eyesithathu yasigalela emilanjeni nakwimithombo yamanzi isitya sayo,+ aza loo manzi ajika aba ligazi.+ 5 Ndeva ingelosi enegunya phezu kwamanzi isithi: “Ulilungisa Wena ukhoyo nowayekho,+ Wena uthembekileyo,+ kuba uye wawisa ezi zigwebo,+ 6 kuba baye bachitha igazi labangcwele nelabaprofeti,+ ngoko ubanike igazi ukuba balisele.+ Ibafanele loo nto.”+ 7 Ndeva nesibingelelo sisithi: “Ewe Yehova* Thixo Somandla,+ ziyinyaniso yaye zibubulungisa izigwebo zakho.”+
8 Eyesine yasigalela elangeni isitya sayo,+ laza ilanga lavunyelwa ukuba libagqatse ngomlilo abantu. 9 Abantu bagqatswa bobo bushushu bungathethekiyo, kodwa balingcolisa igama likaThixo, onegunya phezu kwezi zibetho, yaye abazange baguquke baze bamzukise.
10 Eyesihlanu yasigalela kwitrone yerhamncwa isitya sayo. Ngoko ubukumkani balo benziwa mnyama,+ baza abantu baziluma ulwimi ngenxa yeentlungu, 11 kodwa bathetha kakubi ngoThixo wezulu ngenxa yeentlungu nangenxa yezilonda zabo, yaye abazange baguquke kwizinto ababezenza.
12 Eyesithandathu yasigalela kumlambo omkhulu umEfrate+ isitya sayo, aza atsha amanzi awo+ ukuze bavulelwe indlela ookumkani+ abavela ekuphumeni kwelanga.*
13 Ndabona amazwi amathathu aphefumlelweyo* nangacocekanga, awayengathi ngamasele. Loo mazwi ayephuma emlonyeni wenamba,+ emlonyeni werhamncwa nasemlonyeni womprofeti wobuxoki. 14 La ngamazwi aphefumlelwe ziidemon nawenza imiqondiso,+ ibe aphuma aye kookumkani bomhlaba wonke, ukuze abaqokelelele kwimfazwe+ yemini enkulu kaThixo uSomandla.+
15 “Jonga! Ndiza njengesela.+ Wonwabile umntu ohlala ethe qwa+ nozigcinayo izambatho zakhe zangaphezulu, ukuze angahambi ze baze abantu babone ihlazo lakhe.”+
16 Abaqokelela kwindawo ebizwa ngesiHebhere ngokuba yiArmagedon.*+
17 Eyesixhenxe yasigalela emoyeni isitya sayo. Kwaphuma ilizwi elikhulu kwindawo engcwele+ livela etroneni, lisithi: “Kugqityiwe!” 18 Kwabakho imibane namazwi neendudumo, kwabakho nenyikima enkulu nenamandla ekungazange kubekho injengayo kwimbali yabantu emhlabeni.+ 19 Isixeko esikhulu+ sahlukana kathathu, yaye izixeko zeentlanga zawa. IBhabhiloni Enkulu+ yakhunjulwa nguThixo, ukuze ayinike indebe yewayini emela umsindo wakhe ovuthayo.+ 20 Kwakhona zonke iziqithi zabaleka, neentaba azafunyanwa.+ 21 Emva koko, kwawa amatye esichotho amakhulu,+ anobunzima obulingana nobetalente,* baza abantu bathetha kakubi ngoThixo ngenxa yeso sibetho sesichotho,+ kuba sasisikhulu ngendlela engaqhelekanga.
