IsAmbulo 9
1Ingelosi yesihlanu yayisibetha; ngase ngibona inkanyezi ivela ezulwini, iwela emhlabeni, yanikwa isihluthulelo sakwalasha.
2Yasivula umgodi wakwalasha; kwenyuka umusi emgodini njengomusi wesithando somlilo esikhulu; ilanga nomkhathi kwaba mnyama ngomusi womgodi.
3Kwaphuma isikhonyane emsini, seza emhlabeni, saphiwa amandla anjengamandla ofezela bomhlaba.
4Kwasekulaywa ukuthi zingoni utshani bomhlaba, loba yini eluhlaza, loba yisiphi isihlahla; kodwa yilabo kuphela abantu abangenalo uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emabunzini abo.
5Sase sinikwa ukuba singababulali, kodwa bahlushwe izinyanga eziyisihlanu; nobuhlungu babo kwakunjengobuhlungu bukafezela, lapho eshaya umuntu.
6Ngalezo zinsuku abantu bayakufuna ukufa, kepha abayikukuthola; bayakufisa ukufa, kepha ukufa kubabalekela.
7Nesimo sesikhonyane sasifana namahhashi alungiselwe ukulwa; emakhanda azo kukhona okunjengemiqhele efana negolide, nobuso bazo bunjengobuso babantu.
8Zazinezinwele ezinjengezabesifazana, namazinyo azo enjengamazinyo ezingonyama.
9Zazinezivikelo zesifuba ezinjengezivikelo zensimbi; umsindo wamaphiko azo wawunjengomsindo wezinqola zamahhashi amaningi agijimela empini.
10Zazinemisila efana neyofezela, zinezindosi emisileni yazo, namandla azo okulimaza abantu izinyanga eziyisihlanu.
11Zazinenkosi phezu kwazo, ingelosi yakwalasha, egama layo ngesiHeberu lingu-Abadoni, kepha ngesiGreki inegama lokuthi uApoliyoni.
12Umaye oyedwa usudlulile; bheka, kuyeza abanye omaye ababili ngasemuva.
13Ingelosi yesithupha yayisilukhalisa, ngezwa izwi livela ezimpondweni ezine ze-altare legolide eliphambi kukaNkulunkulu.
14Lithi engelosini yesithupha enecilongo: “Thukulula izingelosi ezine eziboshwe emfuleni omkhulu u-Ewufrathe.
15Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine, ebezilungiselwe ihora, nosuku, nenyanga, nomnyaka, ukuba zibulale ingxenye yesithathu yabantu.
16Inani lempi yabamahhashi laliyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili; ngezwa umumo wabo.
17Ngabona kanjalo embonweni amahhashi nabahlezi phezu kwawo benezivikelo zesifuba zomlilo, nezehiyakinte, nezesibabule, namakhanda amahhashi ayenjengamakhanda ezingonyama; emilonyeni yazo kwakuphuma umlilo, nomusi, nesibabule.
18Ngalokho kwabulawa ingxenye yesithathu yabantu ngomlilo, nangomusi, nesibabule, okwaphuma emilonyeni yawo.
19Ngokuba amandla awo asemlonyeni wawo nasemisileni yawo, ngokuba imisila yawo yayifana nezinyoka, inamakhanda, futhi alimaza ngayo.
20Kepha bonke abanye abantu abangabulawanga yilezi zinhlupho abaphendukanga emisebenzini yezandla zabo, ukuze bangakhuleki kumademoni, nezithombe zegolide, nezesiliva, nezethusi, nezetshe, nezokhuni; akaboni, angezwa, angahambi;
21futhi kabaphendukanga ekubulaleni kwabo, lekuthakatheni, loba ubufebe babo, loba ekwebeni kwabo.
