ISityhilelo Esiya KuYohane
13 Yema ngxi esantini yolwandle.
Yaye ndabona irhamncwa+ liphuma elwandle,+ lalineempondo ezilishumi neentloko ezisixhenxe. Kwiimpondo zalo lalinezithsaba ezilishumi, kodwa kwiintloko zalo lalinamagama anyelisayo. 2 Irhamncwa endalibonayo lalinjengehlosi, kodwa iinyawo zalo zinjengezebhere. Umlomo walo wawunjengowengonyama. Yaza inamba+ yanika irhamncwa amandla alo, itrone yalo negunya elikhulu.+
3 Ndabona ukuba enye yeentloko zalo yayingathi yenzakele, kodwa elo nxeba laphola,+ baza bonke abantu bomhlaba balilandela elo rhamncwa kuba belithanda. 4 Bayikhonza inamba kuba yanika irhamncwa igunya, balikhonza nerhamncwa besithi: “Ngubani onjengerhamncwa, ingubani onokulwa imfazwe nalo?” 5 Lanikwa umlomo othetha izinto ezinkulu nezinto ezinyelisayo, lanikwa negunya lokwenza loo nto lifuna ukuyenza kangangeenyanga eziyi-42.+ 6 Lawuvula umlomo walo laza lathetha kakubi+ ngoThixo, ngegama lakhe, ngendawo yakhe yokuhlala, nangabo bahlala ezulwini.+ 7 Lavunyelwa ukuba lilwe imfazwe nabo bangcwele lize liboyise,+ lanikwa negunya lokulawula zonke izizwe, abantu, iilwimi neentlanga. 8 Bonke abantu abahlala emhlabeni baza kulikhonza. Ukususela ekusekweni kwehlabathi, akukho namnye kubo onegama elibhaliweyo kumsongo wobomi+ weMvana eyaxhelwayo.*+
9 Umntu oneendlebe, makeve.+ 10 Ukuba umntu umele athinjwe, uza kuya ekuthinjweni. Ukuba umntu ubulala ngekrele,* naye umele abulawe ngekrele.+ Kufuneka apha ke ukunyamezela+ nokuba nokholo+ kwabo bangcwele.+
11 Emva koko ndabona elinye irhamncwa liphuma emhlabeni, yaye lalineempondo ezimbini njengetakane legusha, kodwa laqalisa ukuthetha njengenamba.+ 12 Lisebenzisa lonke igunya lerhamncwa lokuqala elilibonayo.+ Yaye libangela umhlaba nabantu abahlala kuwo ukuba banqule irhamncwa lokuqala, eliya lalinenxeba elapholayo.+ 13 Lenza nemiqondiso emikhulu phambi kwabantu, lide lenze nomlilo uhle uye emhlabeni uvela ezulwini.
14 Lilahlekisa abantu abahlala emhlabeni, ngenxa yemiqondiso elavunyelwa ukuba liyenze phambi kwerhamncwa lokuqala. Lixelela abantu abahlala emhlabeni ukuba benze umfanekiso+ werhamncwa elalixatyelwe kodwa laphila.+ 15 Lavunyelwa ukuba linike umfanekiso werhamncwa impefumlo yobomi,* ukuze loo mfanekiso werhamncwa uthethe uze ubangele ukuba babulawe bonke abo bangafuniyo ukukhonza umfanekiso werhamncwa.
16 Linyanzela bonke abantu, abancinci nabakhulu, izityebi namahlwempu, abakhululekileyo namakhoboka, ukuba baphawulwe kwisandla sasekunene okanye ebunzi,+ 17 nokuba kungabikho mntu ukwaziyo ukuthenga okanye ukuthengisa ngaphandle komntu onolo phawu, onegama+ lerhamncwa okanye inani legama lalo.+ 18 Bufuneka apha ke ubulumko: Umntu onobulumko makalibale inani leli rhamncwa, kuba linani lomntu, ibe elo nani ngu-666.+
