1 Kwasekubonakala isibonakaliso esikhulu ezulwini, owesifazana embethe ilanga, lenyanga ingaphansi kwenyawo zakhe, njalo kukhona ekhanda lakhe umqhele wenkanyezi ezilitshumi lambili;
Chiratidzo chikuru uye chinoshamisa chakaonekwa kudenga: mukadzi akanga akapfeka zuva, mwedzi uri pasi petsoka dzake, nekorona ine nyeredzi gumi nembiri pamusoro wake.
2 njalo ekhulelwe, wakhala ngobuhlungu bomhelo, futhi wayesebuhlungwini bokubeletha.
Akanga ane mimba uye akadanidzira mukurwadziwa sezvo akanga ava kupona.
3 Kwasekubonakala esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini, khangela-ke umgobho omkhulu obomvu, olamakhanda ayisikhombisa lempondo ezilitshumi, lemiqhele eyisikhombisa emakhanda awo.
Ipapo chimwe chiratidzo chakaonekwa kudenga: shato huru tsvuku ine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi nekorona nomwe mumisoro yayo.
4 Lomsila wawo wadonsa ingxenye yesithathu yenkanyezi zezulu, waziphosela emhlabeni; njalo umgobho wema phambi kowesifazana obesezabeletha, ukuze kuthi, esebelethile, umimilize umntwana wakhe.
Muswe wayo wakatsvaira chikamu chimwe chete muzvitatu chenyeredzi kubva kudenga ukadzikanda pasi. Shato yakamira pamberi pomukadzi akanga ava kuzvara, kuitira kuti iparadze mwana wake kana angozvarwa.
5 Wasebeletha indodana, isilisa, ezabusa izizwe zonke ngentonga yensimbi; lomntanakhe wahluthulelwa kuNkulunkulu lesihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.
Akazvara mwanakomana, munhurume, achazotonga ndudzi dzose netsvimbo yesimbi. Uye mwana wake akatorwa akaendeswa kuna Mwari nokuchigaro chake choushe.
6 Lowesifazana wabalekela enkangala, lapho ayelendawo eyayilungiswe nguNkulunkulu, ukuze bamondle khona insuku eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisithupha.
Mukadzi akatizira kugwenga kunzvimbo yaakanga agadzirirwa naMwari, kwaaizochengetwa kwamazuva chiuru namazana maviri namakumi matanhatu.
7 Kwasekusiba lempi ezulwini; uMikayeli lengilosi zakhe balwa bemelene lomgobho; lomgobho walwa ulengilosi zawo,
Uye kudenga kwakava nehondo. Mikaeri navatumwa vake vakarwa neshato, uye shato navatumwa vayo ikadzorerawo.
8 njalo babengelakunqoba, lendawo yawo kayabe isatholakala ezulwini.
Asi yakanga isina simba rakakwana, uye nzvimbo yavo yakashayikwa kudenga.
9 Umgobho omkhulu wasuphoswa, inyoka endala, ebizwa ngokuthi nguDiyabhola njalo uSathane, okhohlisa umhlaba wonke; waphoselwa emhlabeni, lengilosi zakhe zaphoswa kanye laye.
Shato huru yakakandwa pasi, iyo nyoka yekare inonzi dhiabhori, kana kuti Satani, anotsausa nyika yose. Akakandwa panyika pamwe chete navatumwa vake.
10 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi elikhulu ezulwini, lisithi: Khathesi sekufike usindiso lamandla lombuso kaNkulunkulu wethu, lamandla kaKristu wakhe; ngoba uphoselwe phansi ummangaleli wabazalwane bethu, obamangalelayo emini lebusuku phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi guru kudenga richiti: “Zvino ruponeso nesimba noumambo hwaMwari wedu zvasvika, uye nesimba raKristu wake. Nokuti mupomeri wehama dzedu, iye anovapomera pamberi paMwari wedu masikati nousiku, akandwa panyika.
11 Njalo bona bamnqobile ngegazi leWundlu langelizwi lobufakazi babo, njalo kabathandanga impilo yabo kwaze kwaba sekufeni.
Vakamukunda neropa reGwayana uye neshoko rokupupura kwavo; havana kuda upenyu hwavo zvakanyanya zvokuti vangatya kufa.
12 Ngalokho thokozani, mazulu lani elihlala kuwo. Maye kulabo abakhileyo emhlabeni lolwandle, ngoba udiyabhola wehlele kini elolaka olukhulu, esazi ukuthi ulesikhathi esifitshane.
Naizvozvo farai, imi matenga nemi munogara maari! Asi mune nhamo imi nyika negungwa, nokuti dhiabhori aburuka kwamuri! Akatsamwa kwazvo, nokuti anoziva kuti nguva yake ipfupi.”
13 Kwathi umgobho usubonile ukuthi uphoselwe emhlabeni, wazingela owesifazana owayezele umntwana wesilisa.
Shato yakati yaona kuti yakanga yakandwa panyika, yakadzinganisa mukadzi akanga azvara mwana mukomana.
14 Kwasekunikwa owesifazana impiko ezimbili zokhozi olukhulu, ukuze aphaphele enkangala endaweni yakhe, lapho ondliwa khona okwesikhathi, lezikhathi lengxenye yesikhathi, asuke ebusweni benyoka.
Mukadzi akapiwa mapapiro maviri egondo guru, kuitira kuti agobhururuka achienda kunzvimbo yaakanga agadzirirwa kugwenga, uko kwaaizochengetwa kwenguva nedzimwe nguva nehafu yenguva, kusingasviki nyoka.
15 Lenyoka yakhafula amanzi emlonyeni wayo ngemva kowesifazana kungathi ngumfula, ukuze immukise ngalumfula.
Ipapo nyoka yakabudisa mvura yakaita sorwizi kubva mumuromo mayo, kuti ikukure mukadzi namafashamu.
16 Lomhlaba wamsiza owesifazana, umhlaba wasukhamisa umlomo wawo, waginya umfula umgobho owawuwukhafule emlonyeni wawo.
Asi nyika yakabatsira mukadzi nokuzarura muromo wayo ikamedza rwizi rwakanga rwabudiswa neshato mumuromo wayo.
17 Umgobho wasumthukuthelela owesifazana, wasusuka wayakulwa impi labaseleyo benzalo yakhe, labo abagcina imilayo kaNkulunkulu abalobufakazi bukaJesu Kristu.
Ipapo shato yakatsamwira mukadzi ikaenda kundorwa navana vake vakanga vasara, vaya vanoteerera mirayiro yaMwari uye vanobatirira pauchapupu hwaJesu.
