Ufunuo 8
1 Wakati mwanakondoo abhopuili muhuri ghwa saba, kwajhele ni kinunu kumbinguni takribani nusu saa.
Lapho selivule uphawu lwesikhombisa, kwaba khona ukuthula ezulwini okungaba yingxenye yehola.
2 Kisha nikabhona malaika saba bhabhijhema palongolo pa K'yara na bhapelibhu tarumbeta saba.
Ngasengibona ingilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu, njalo kwanikelwa kizo impondo eziyisikhombisa.
3 alaika jhongi akahida, akamulili bakuli lya dhahabu jhajhijhele ni uvumba, ajhemili mu madhabahu. Apelibhu uvumba bhumahele ili kwamba aubhosiajhi pamonga ni maombi gha bhaamini bhoha mu madhabahu gha dhahabu palongolo pa kiti kya enzi.
Kwasekufika enye ingilosi, yasisima elathini, ilomganu wegolide wokutshisela impepha, yasiphiwa impepha enengi, ukuze iyinikele lemikhuleko yabo bonke abangcwele phezu kwelathi legolide eliphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi.
4 Lyosi lya uvumba, pamonga ni maombi gha bhaamini, akakwela panani palongolo pa K'yara kuhoma mu mabhoko gha malaika.
Lentuthu yempepha yenyuka lemikhuleko yabangcwele esandleni sengilosi phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
5 Malaika akalota bakuli lya uvumba ni kulimemesya muoto kuhoma mu madhabahu. Kisha akalitagha pasi panani pa nchi, na kwatokili sauti jha radi, miale jha radi ni litetemeku lya nchi.
Ingilosi yasithatha umganu wokutshisela impepha, yasiwugcwalisa ngomlilo welathi, yasiwuphosela emhlabeni; kwasekusiba khona amazwi lemidumo lemibane lokuzamazama komhlaba.
6 Bhala malaika saba ambabho bhajhele ni tarumbeta saba bhajhele tayari kusikobha.
Kwathi ingilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilempondo eziyisikhombisa zazilungiselela ukuze zizikhalise.
7 Malaika ghwa kuanza akakobha tarumbeta jha muene, na kwatokili fula jha maganga ni muoto bhwabhuchanganyikene ni damu. Fyataghibhu pasi pa nchi ili kwamba theluthi jhiake jhipiayi, theluthi jha mabehe jhapili ni manyasi ghoha gha kijani ghapili.
Ingilosi yokuqala yasilukhalisa uphondo, kwasekusiba khona isiqhotho lomlilo kuhlanganiswe legazi, kwasekuphoselwa emhlabeni; lengxenye yesithathu yezihlahla yatshiswa, labo bonke utshani obuluhlaza batshiswa.
8 Malaika ghwa pili akakhobha tarumbeta jha muene, ni khenu kama kidonda kibhaha kikajhele kama kidonda kibhaha kya kipili kwa muoto kyateghibhu mu bahari.
Ingilosi yesibili yasilukhalisa uphondo; kwasekuphoselwa olwandle okunjengentaba enkulu evutha umlilo. Lengxenye yesithathu yolwandle yaba ligazi;
9 Theluthi jha bahari jhajhele damu, theluthi jha viumbe hai mu bahari fyafuili ni theluthi jha meli syaharibiki.
kwasekusifa ingxenye yesithathu yezidalwa eziselwandle ezilempilo, lengxenye yesithathu yemikhumbi yachithwa.
10 Malaika ghwa tatu akakobha tarumbeta lya muene, ni litondo libhaha likabina kuhoma kumbinguni, ni kulangasya kama ligesi, panani pa theluthi jha fiholo ni chemichemi sya masi.
Ingilosi yesithathu yasilukhalisa uphondo, kwasekusiwa ezulwini inkanyezi enkulu ibhebha njengesibane, yasiwela phezu kwengxenye yesithathu yemifula, laphezu kwemithombo yamanzi.
11 Lihina lya litondo ndo pakanga. Theluthi jha masi jhajhele pakanga, ni bhanu bhamehele bhafuili kutokana ni masi ghaghajhele makali.
Lebizo lenkanyezi lalithiwa nguMhlonyane; lengxenye yesithathu yamanzi yaba ngumhlonyane, labantu abanengi bafa ngamanzi, ngoba ayenziwe ababa.
12 Malaika ghwa nne akobhili tarumbeta lya muene ni theluthi jha lijobha jhatobhibhu, pamonga ni theluthi jha muesi ni theluthi jha litondo. Henu, theluthi jha fyoha jhageuki kujha ngisi; theluthi jha pamusi ni theluthi jha pakilu fyajhelepi ni muanga.
Ingilosi yesine yasilukhalisa uphondo, kwasekutshaywa ingxenye yesithathu yelanga lengxenye yesithathu yenyanga lengxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi, ukuze kufiphazwe ingxenye yesithathu yazo, lengxenye yesithathu yemini ingakhanyi, lobusuku ngokunjalo.
13 Nalangili, na napeliki tai jhearukeghe pagati pa anga, ikuta kwa sauti mbaha, “Ole, ole, ole, kwa bhala bhabhitama mu nchi, kwandabha jha mlipuko bhwa tarumbeta jhajhibakili ambajho jhikaribili kukhobhibhwa ni malaika bhadatu.”
Ngasengibona, ngasengisizwa ingilosi eyodwa iphapha phakathi laphakathi kwezulu, isithi ngelizwi elikhulu: Maye, maye, maye kulabo abakhileyo emhlabeni, kumazwi aseleyo empondo zengilosi ezintathu esezizakhala!
