Revelation 16

¹Ngase ngizwa izwi elikhulu livela ethempelini, lithi kuzo izingelosi eziyisikhombisa: “Hambani nithululele emhlabeni izitsha eziyisikhombisa zolaka lukaNkulunkulu.”

²Eyokuqala yaya-ke, yathululela isitsha sayo emhlabeni; kwase kuvela isilonda esibi esinobuhlungu kubantu abanophawu lwesilo nabakhuleka kumfanekiso waso.

³Neyesibili yathululela isitsha sayo elwandle; lwase luba yigazi elinjengelofileyo, nakho konke okuzwayo okuphila elwandle kwafa.

⁴Neyesithathu yathululela isitsha sayo emifuleni nasemithonjeni yamanzi, kwase kuba yigazi.

⁵Ngezwa ingelosi yamanzi ithi: “Ulungile wena okhona nowawukhona, oNgcwele, ngokuba wakunquma lokho,

⁶ngokuba bachitha igazi labangcwele nelabaprofethi, wabanika ukuba baliphuze igazi; bakufanele.”

⁷Ngase ngizwa i-altare lithi: “Yebo, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, Mninimandla onke, ziqinisile, zilungile izahlulelo zakho.”

⁸Eyesine yayisithululela isitsha sayo elangeni; lase linikwa ukubashisa abantu ngomlilo.

⁹Abantu bashiswa ngokushiswa okukhulu, kepha bahlambalaza igama likaNkulunkulu onamandla phezu kwalezi zinhlupho, kodwa abaphendukanga ukuba bamdumise.

¹⁰Eyesihlanu yathululela isitsha sayo esihlalweni sobukhosi sesilo; nombuso waso wenziwa mnyama, baluma izilimi zabo ngenxa yobuhlungu,

¹¹futhi bahlambalaza uNkulunkulu wezulu ngenxa yobuhlungu babo nangenxa yezilonda zabo; kepha abaphendukanga emisebenzini yabo.

¹²Eyesithupha yathululela isitsha sayo emfuleni omkhulu u-Ewufrathe; kwase kusha amanzi awo, ukuze indlela ilungiselwe amakhosi avela empumalanga.

¹³Ngabona kuphuma emlonyeni kadrako, nasemlonyeni wesilo, nasemlonyeni womprofethi wamanga omoya abathathu abangcolileyo, befana nezingxangxa;

¹⁴ngokuba bangomoya bamademoni, benza izibonakaliso, abaphuma beya emakhosini ezwe lonke ukubahlanganisela ekulweni kosuku olukhulu lukaNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke.

¹⁵Bheka, ngiyeza njengesela; ubusisiwe olindayo, alonde izingubo zakhe ukuba angabi ngohamba ze, baze balibone ihlazo lakhe.

¹⁶Wayesebahlanganisela endaweni ethiwa ngesiHeberu iHarmagedoni.

¹⁷Eyesikhombisa yayisithululela isitsha sayo emoyeni; kwase kuphuma izwi elikhulu ethempelini esihlalweni sobukhosi, lithi: “Sekwenzekile.”

¹⁸Kwase kuba khona imibani, namazwi, nokuduma, kwaba khona nokuzamazama okukhulu komhlaba okungazange kube khona okunjalo, selokhu kwaba khona abantu emhlabeni, ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu kangaka.

¹⁹Umuzi omkhulu waba yizinqamu ezintathu, nemizi yabezizwe yawa. NeBabiloni elikhulu lakhunjulwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuba alinike isitsha sewayini lolaka lwakhe oluvuthayo.

²⁰Iziqhingi zonke zabaleka, nezintaba azifunyaniswanga.

²¹Isichotho esikhulu esisinda njengetalenta sivela ezulwini sehlela phezu kwabantu; abantu bamhlambalaza uNkulunkulu ngenxa yohlupho lwesichotho, ngokuba uhlupho lwaso lulukhulu kakhulu.
