Gweguno ni nng'ibhulo gwa a Yeshu Kilishitu gubhapegwilwe na a Nnungu, nkupinga bhaalanguyanje bhatumishi bhabho indu ipinga koposhela shangupe. Bhashinkulangula yene indui kwa kuntuma malaika jwabho kwa a Yowana bhatumishi bhabho,

bhenebho bhakong'ondele ga kila shindu shibhashibhwene, ga lilobhe lya a Nnungu na ukong'ondelo gwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
3 Ubusisiwe ofunda, lalabo abezwa amazwi alesisiprofetho, besebegcina izinto ezilotshiweyo kuso; ngoba isikhathi siseduze.
Apegwe mboka jwene akwaashomelanga nnikanisha malobhe ga gweguno ukulondola guno, nneila peila bhapegwanje mboka bhene bhaapilikananga na kugabhika muntima gajandikwe mwemuno gano, pabha malanga gabhandishile.
4 UJohane kumabandla ayisikhombisa aseAsiya: Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuye okhona lowayekhona lozakuza; lakubomoya abayisikhombisa abaphambi kwesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi;
Nne a Yowana ngunakugajandishila makanisha shabha gali kunkoa gwa Ashia. Ngunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele kukopoka kwa a Nnungu bhapali, bhaapali na bhaapinga kwiya kukoposhela kwa ashi Mbumu shabha bhalinginji mmujo ja shitengu sha upalume,
5 lakuJesu Kristu, umfakazi othembekileyo, olizibulo kwabafileyo lombusi wamakhosi omhlaba. Kuye owasithandayo, wasigezisa ezonweni zethu egazini lakhe;
na kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu bhaakong'ondela bhaakulupalika, bhali bha lyelo ku bhawilenje, na bhakulungwa bha bhapalume bha pa shilambolyo. Bhenebho bhanakutupinga na bhashikututakaya yambi yetu kwa minyai jabho,
6 owasenza saba ngamakhosi labapristi kuNkulunkulu uYise; kakube kuye ubukhosi lamandla kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
ni gubhatutendile uwe kubha upalume gwa bhaabhishila nkupinga twaatendele liengo a Nnungu, bhali aina bhabho. Ukonjelo na mashili ibhe na bhenebho piti piti, amina. (aiōn g165)
7 Khangela uyeza kanye lamayezi, futhi lonke ilihlo lizambona, lalabo abamgwazayo; lezizwe zonke zomhlaba zizalila ngenxa yakhe. Yebo. Ameni.
Nnole bhenebho bhanakwiya na maunde na kila mundu shaabhabhone nkali bhene bhaaomilenje lipanga bhala, na ilambo yowe ya pashilambolyo shiigutanjile kwa ligongo lyabho. Elo nneyo ni shiipinga kubha.
8 Mina nginguAlfa loOmega, ukuqala lokucina, kutsho iNkosi, ekhona leyayikhona lezakuza, uSomandla.
Bhakulungwa a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili bhakuti, “Nne ni jwa ntai na jwa mpelo, mbali, naapali na mbinga kwiya.”
9 Mina uJohane, longumzalwane wenu, lohlanganyela kanye lani ekuhluphekeni lembusweni lekubekezeleni kukaJesu Kristu, ngangisesihlengeni esithiwa yiPatmosi, ngenxa yelizwi likaNkulunkulu langenxa yobufakazi bukaJesu Kristu.
Nne a Yowana nankukulupalila nnjenunji, nili mmboteko pamo na mmanganyanji muupalme gwa a Nnungu na nkupunda kwiipililila, nashinkubhikwa jikape ku shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi shiishemwa Patimo kwa ligongo lya lunguya lilobhe lya a Nnugnu na kong'ondela ga a Yeshu.
10 NgangikuMoya ngosuku lweNkosi; futhi ngezwa ngemva kwami ilizwi elikhulu kungathi ngelophondo,
Bhai, lyubha limo lya Bhakulungwa, nili ng'umbelwe naka Mbumu, gumbilikene lilobhe likulungwa mbuti lya lipenga kunyuma jangu
11 lisithi: Mina nginguAlfa loOmega, ukuqala lokucina; lokuthi: Okubonayo kubhale encwadini, ukuthumele emabandleni ayisikhombisa aseAsiya, eEfesu, leSemerna, lePergamo, leTiyathira, leSardisi, leFiladelfiya, leLawodikeya.
lilinkuti, “Nnjandishe nshitabhu gowe gunkugabhonaga, npeleshe ku makanisha shabha, yani ku Epesho, na ku Shimilina, na ku Peligamo, na ku Tiatila, na ku Shalidi, na ku Piladelipia, na ku Laodikia.”
12 Ngasengitshibilika ukuze ngibone ilizwi elikhuluma lami. Sengitshibilikile ngabona iziqobane zezibane zegolide eziyisikhombisa,
Penepo nigundendebhwishe nole, ni gani abheleketaga na nne. Ngatendebhusheje niguniibhwene itengu shabha ya kandili ya shaabhu.
13 laphakathi kweziqobane zezibane eziyisikhombisa onjengeNdodana yomuntu, embethe isembatho esifika ezinyaweni futhi ezibophe ezithandele ngeqhele legolide emabeleni;
Pakati pakati yene itengu ya kandili ila, nigunaabhwene bhandu bhamo malinga Mwana jwa Mundu, awete likoti lya lileu na nshipi gwa shaabhu pa ntima.
14 njalo ikhanda lakhe lenwele zakhe kwakumhlophe njengoboya bezimvu, njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo; lamehlo akhe enjengelangabi lomlilo,
Ntwe gwakwe na umbo yakwe puyaaliji yanawe malinga mabhetya ga ngondolo, eu malinga ndambwe, na meyo gakwe pugaaliji malinga lilamba lya moto.
15 lenyawo zakhe zazinjengethusi elikhazimulayo, njengelivutha esithandweni; lelizwi lakhe lalinjengenhlokomo yamanzi amanengi;
Makotwa gakwe pugaaliji malinga shitale shiukengwe kaje, eu mbuti shijoshilwe pa moto gwa shipala, na lilobhe lyakwe pulyaaliji malinga mabhimbili ga mashi gamagwinji.
16 futhi elenkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sakhe sokunene, lemlonyeni wakhe kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali inhlangothi zombili; lobuso bakhe bunjengelanga elikhanya emandleni alo.
Munkono gwakwe gwa nnilo ashinkukamulila ndondwa shabha, na nkangw'a jakwe ushinkukopoka upanga gwa tema akuno na kukuno. Lubhombo lwakwe luliimelemeta kwa kaje, mbuti lyubha lya nakalanga.
17 Njalo ngathi ngimbona, ngawela ngasezinyaweni zakhe njengofileyo; wasebeka isandla sakhe sokunene phezu kwami esithi kimi: Ungesabi; mina ngingowokuqala lowokucina,
Ngaabhoneje ngugwaga pa makongono gabho mbuti mundu awile. Penepo nigubhamishile nkono gwabho gwa nnilo bhalinkuti, “Nnajogope, Nne ni na jwa ntai na jwa mpelo.
19 Bhala izinto ozibonileyo, lezinto ezikhona, lezinto ezizakuba khona emva kwalezi:
“Bhai nnaino nnjandishe indu imuibhwene, ipali na yene ipinga koposhela kungai.
20 Imfihlo yenkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ozibonileyo esandleni sami sokunene, leziqobane zezibane zegolide eziyisikhombisa. Inkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ziyizithunywa zamabandla ayisikhombisa; leziqobane zezibane eziyisikhombisa ozibonileyo zingamabandla ayisikhombisa.
Ga shinjubhi sha yene ndondwa shabha imuibhwene munkono gwangu gwa nnilo ila, na itengu shabha ya kandili ya shaabhu ni nnei, ndondwa shabha ila ni ashimalaika bha Makanisha shabha, na itengu shabha ila, ni Makanisha shabha.”
