1 Ndabona, nantso iMvana imi phezu kwentaba yeZiyon, kumi nayo ikhulu elinamanci mane anesine lamawaka, benalo igama loYise libhaliwe emabunzini abo.
2 Ndeva izwi liphuma ezulwini, lingathi sisandi samanzi amaninzi, lingathi sisandi sendudumo enkulu.
3 Ndeva nezwi lababethi beehadi, bebetha iihadi zabo; bevuma ingoma engathi intsha, phambi kwetrone, naphambi kwezinto eziphilileyo zone, namadoda amakhulu; kwaye kungekho namnye unako ukuyifunda ingoma leyo, lingelilo ikhulu elinamanci mane anesine lamawaka, ababethengiwe emhlabeni.
4 Aba ngabo bangadyobhekanga ngabafazi, kuba benyulu. Aba ngabo bayilandelayo iMvana apho isukuba isiya khona. Aba bathengwa bephuma ebantwini, baziintlahlela kuye uThixo nakuyo iMvana.
5 Emlonyeni wabo akufunyanwanga nkohliso, kuba bengenakubekwa bala.
6 Ndabona esinye isithunywa sezulu, siphaphazela esazulwini samazulu, sineendaba ezilungileyo ezingunaphakade, ukuba sizishumayele kwabo bemiyo phezu komhlaba, nakwiintlanga zonke, nezizwe, neelwimi, nabantu;
7 sisithi ngezwi elikhulu, Moyikeni uThixo, nimzukise; ngokuba lifikile ixa lokugweba kwakhe; nimnqule lowo wenza izulu, nomhlaba, nolwandle, nemithombo yamanzi.
8 Kwaza kwalandela esinye isithunywa sezulu, sisithi, Iwile, iwile iBhabheli, loo mzi mkhulu! ngokuba iseze zonke iintlanga ngewayini yomsindo wobuhenyu bayo.
9 Saza esesithathu isithunywa sezulu sazilandela zona, sisithi ngezwi elikhulu, Ukuba umntu uyalinqula irhamncwa nomfanekiselo walo, amkele uphawu lwalo ebunzini lakhe, nokuba kusesandleni sakhe:
10 yena wosela iwayini yomsindo kaThixo, egalelwe ingaphithikeziwe endebeni yengqumbo yakhe, athuthunjiswe ngomlilo nesulfure phambi kwezithunywa ezingcwele, naphambi kweMvana.
11 Umsi wokuthuthunjelwa kwabo unyuka use emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni; abanakuphumla imini nobusuku abo banqula irhamncwa nomfanekiselo walo, nomntu ukuba uthi alwamkele uphawu lwegama lalo.
12 Nalu unyamezelo lwabangcwele; naba abayigcinayo imithetho kaThixo nokukholwa kuYesu.
13 Ndeva izwi liphuma emazulwini, lisithi kum, Bhala, uthi, Banoyolo abafi, abo bafela eNkosini, kuthabathela apha; ewe, utsho uMoya, ukuba baphumle ekubulalekeni kwabo; imisebenzi yabo ke ilandelana nabo.
14 Ndabona, nalo ilifu elimhlophe; elifini apho kuhleli ofana noNyana woMntu, enesithsaba segolide entloko, esandleni sakhe enerhengqa elibukhali.
15 Kwaphuma esinye isithunywa sezulu etempileni, sidanduluka ngezwi elikhulu kulo uhleli efini, sisithi, Lifake irhengqa lakho, uvune; ngokuba lifikile kuwe ilixa lokuvuna; ngokuba ukudla komhlaba kuvuthiwe.
16 Lowo uhleli efini waliphosa irhengqa lakhe emhlabeni; wavunwa ke umhlaba.
17 Kwaza kwaphuma esinye isithunywa sezulu etempileni esemazulwini, naso sikwanerhengqa elibukhali.
18 Kwaphuma esinye isithunywa sezulu esibingelelweni, sinegunya kuwo umlilo; sabiza ngonkqangazo olukhulu kweso sinerhengqa elibukhali, sisithi, Lifake irhengqa lakho elibukhali, ubuthe izihloko zomdiliya womhlaba, ngokuba iidiliya zawo zigqibele ukuvuthwa.
19 Isithunywa saliphosa irhengqa laso emhlabeni, sawubutha umdiliya womhlaba, sawuphosa esixovulelweni esikhulu somsindo kaThixo.
20 Isixovulelo eso sanyathelwa ngaphandle komzi lowo; kwaphuma igazi esixovulelweni eso, lada lafika emikhaleni yamahashe, umgama wezitadiya eziliwaka elinamakhulu amathandathu.
