Ezulwini kuyahalaliswa ngokuwa kweBabiloni
1 Emva kwalokho ngezwa kungathi izwi elikhulu lesixuku esikhulu ezulwini, lithi: “Haleluya! Insindiso, nenkazimulo, namandla ngokukaNkulunkulu wethu, 2 ngokuba ziqinisile, zilungile izahlulelo zakhe; ngokuba isifebe esikhulu esonakalisa umhlaba ngobufebe baso, uliphindisele igazi lezinceku zakhe esandleni saso.”
3 Bathi ngokwesibili: “Haleluya! Nomusi waso wenyuka kuze kube phakade naphakade.”
4 Ayesewa phansi amalunga angamashumi amabili nane kanye nezidalwa ezine, akhuleka kuNkulunkulu ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, athi: “Amen! Haleluya!”
5 Kwase kuphuma izwi esihlalweni sobukhosi, lithi: “Dumisani uNkulunkulu wethu nonke nina zinceku zakhe, nina enimesabayo, abancane nabakhulu.”
6 Ngase ngizwa kungathi izwi lesixuku esikhulu, linjengezwi lamanzi amaningi, nezwi lokuduma okunamandla, lithi:
“Haleluya! Ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, uMninimandla onke, iyabusa. 7 Masithokoze, sethabe, futhi masimnike inkazimulo, ngokuba umshado weWundlu ufikile, nomkalo uzilungisele; 8 wanikwa ukuba embathe ilineni elicolekileyo nelikhazimulayo nelihlanzekileyo,” ngokuba ilineni elicolekileyo liyizenzo ezilungileyo zabangcwele.
9Yayisithi kimi: “Loba ukuthi: ‘Babusisiwe abamenyelwe esidlweni somshado weWundlu.’ ” Yayisithi kimi: “Lawo angamazwi aqinisileyo kaNkulunkulu.”
10 Ngase ngiwa phansi phambi kwezinyawo ukukhuleka kuyo. Yayisithi kimi: “Musa; ngiyinceku kanye nawe nabazalwane bakho abaphethe ubufakazi bukaJesu; khuleka kuNkulunkulu. Ngokuba ubufakazi bukaJesu bungumoya wokuprofetha.”
UKristu uyalwa nesilo
11 Ngase ngibona izulu livulekile; bheka, nanto ihhashi elimhlophe nohlezi phezu kwalo obizwa ngokuthi oThembekileyo noQinisileyo; uyahlulela, alwe ngokulunga. 12 Amehlo akhe angamalangabi omlilo, nasekhanda lakhe kukhona imiqhele eminingi; unegama elilotshiweyo elingaziwa muntu, nguyena kuphela; 13 wembethe ingubo efafazwe ngegazi; igama lakhe nguLizwi kaNkulunkulu. 14 Izimpi zasezulwini zamlandela zikhwele amahhashi amhlophe, zembethe ilineni elicolekileyo, elimhlophe nelihlanzekileyo. 15 Emlonyeni wakhe kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali, ukuze ashaye izizwe ngayo; yena uyakuzibusa ngentonga yensimbi; yena uqobo uyanyathela isikhamo sewayini lentukuthelo yolaka lukaNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke. 16 Unegama lilotshiwe engutsheni yakhe nasethangeni lakhe elithi:
INKOSI YAMAKHOSI NOMBUSI WABABUSI
17 Ngase ngibona ingelosi imi elangeni, yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ezinyonini zonke ezindizayo emkhathini wezulu, ithi: “Wozani, nibuthane esidlweni esikhulu sikaNkulunkulu 18ukuba nidle inyama yamakhosi, nenyama yezinduna, nenyama yamaqhawe, nenyama yamahhashi neyabakhwele kuwo, nenyama yabo bonke abakhululekileyo nabayizigqila, abancane nabakhulu.”
19 Ngabona isilo, namakhosi omhlaba, nezimpi zawo zibuthene ukulwa naye owayehlezi ehhashini nempi yakhe. 20 Isilo sase sibanjwa nomprofethi wamanga okanye naso owenza izibonakaliso phambi kwaso, abadukisa ngazo abamukela uphawu lwesilo nabakhuleka kumfanekiso waso; labo bobabili baphonswa besezwa echibini lomlilo elivutha isibabule. 21Nabaseleyo babulawa ngenkemba ephuma emlonyeni wakhe owayehlezi ehhashini, nezinyoni zonke zasutha inyama yabo.
