1 Futhi kwavela isibonakaliso esikhulu ezulwini, njengesifanekiso sezinto ezisemhlabeni; owesifazane embethe ilanga, inyanga iphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, phezu kwekhanda lakhe kukhona umqhele wezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili.

2 Futhi owesifazane ekhulelwe, wakhala, enemihelo, futhi esikwa ngubuhlungu bokubeletha.

3 Futhi wabeletha umntwana wesilisa, owayezobusa izizwe zonke ngentonga yensimbi; umntwana wakhe wahlwithelwa kuNkulunkulu nasesihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.

4 Futhi kwavela esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini; bheka, udrako omkhulu obomvu, enamakhanda ayisikhombisa nezimpondo eziyishumi, nemiqhele eyisikhombisa phezu kwamakhanda akhe. Umsila wakhe wadonsa ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi zezulu, waziphonsa emhlabeni. Udrako wase ema phambi kwalona owesifazane owayesezobeletha, elindele ukushwabadela umntwana wakhe emva kokuba esebelethiwe.

5 Futhi owesifazane wabalekela ehlane, lapho ayenendawo khona eyayilungiswe nguNkulunkulu, ukuba bamondle khona iminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha.

6 Futhi kwabakhona impi ezulwini; uMikayeli nezingelosi zakhe balwa nodrako; udrako nezingelosi zakhe balwa noMikayeli;

7 Futhi udrako akamnqobanga uMikayeli, noma umntwana, noma owesifazane okwakuyibandla likaNkulunkulu, owayesekhululiwe ezinhlungwini zakhe, futhi waveza umbuso kaNkulunkulu wethu noKristu wakhe.

8 Futhi akubange kusatholakala ndawo yakhe ezulwini udrako omkhulu, owaphoswa ngaphandle; leyo nyoka endala ebizwa ngodeveli, futhi ibuye ibizwe ngoSathane, ekhohlisa umhlaba wonke; waphoswa emhlabeni; nezingelosi zakhe zaphonswa naye.

9 Futhi ngezwa izwi elikhulu ezulwini lithi, Manje sekufike insindiso, nokuqina, nombuso kaNkulunkulu wethu, namandla kaKristu wakhe;

10 Ngokuba ummangaleli wabamfowethu uphonswe phansi, owabamangalela phambi kukaNkulunkulu imini nobusuku.

11 Ngokuba bamnqobile ngegazi leMvana, nangezwi lobufakazi babo; ngokuba abazithandanga izimpilo zabo, kodwa bagcina ubufakazi kwaze kwaba sekufeni. Ngakho-ke, jabulani O mazulu, nani enihlala kuwo.

12 Futhi emva kwalezi zinto ngezwa elinye izwi lithi, Maye kubantu basemhlabeni, yebo, nakulabo abahlala eziqhingini zasolwandle! ngokuba udeveli useze phansi kini, enolaka olukhulu, ngokuba uyazi ukuthi unesikhashana esifushane.

13 Ngokuba kwathi udrako esebona ukuthi wayesephonswe emhlabeni, wamhlupha owesifazane owazala umntwana wesilisa.

14 Ngakho-ke, owesifazane wanikwa amaphiko amabili okhozi olukhulu, ukuze abalekele ehlane, endaweni yakhe, lapho ondliwa khona isikhathi, nezikhathi, nengxenye yesikhathi, asuke ebusweni benyoka.

15 Futhi inyoka yakhafula amanzi njengesikhukhula semvula ngemuva kowesifazane, ukuze immukise nesikhukhula.

16 Futhi umhlaba wamsiza owesifazane, umhlaba wavula umlomo wawo, wagwinya isikhukhula esasikhafulwe ngudrako ngomlomo wakhe.

17 Ngakho-ke, udrako waba nolaka kowesifazane, futhi wayokulwa nensali yenzalo yakhe, eyayigcina imiyalelo kaNkulunkulu, futhi inobufakazi bukaJesu Kristu.
