9 Mine Johane, umzalwane wenu, nginesabelo kanye nani kuJesu ekuhlushweni, nasebukhosini, nasekuciniseleni. Ngangisesichingini, lesibitwa ngekutsi yiPhatmose, ngenca yekushumayela livi laNkulunkulu ngekufakaza ngaJesu. 10Ngelilanga leNkhosi ngangikuMoya, ngase ngiva emvakwami livi lelikhulu, shangatsi lelicilongo, 11 litsi: “Bhala encwadzini loko lokubonako, bese uyitfumela emabandleni lasikhombisa: lase-Efesu, nelaseSmuna, nelasePhegamu, nelaseThiyathira, nelaseSadesi, nelaseFiladelfiya, nelaseLawodisiya.”
12 Ngase ngiyagucuka, ngentela kubona lona labekhuluma kimi; ngatsi nangigucukako, ngabona tibane tegolide letisikhombisa. 13 Emkhatsini wato kwakukhona labefanana neNdvodzana yemuntfu, embetse umjiva lomudze, abophe ngembhenso wegolide esifubeni sakhe. 14 Inhloko netinwele takhe kwakumhlophe njengeboya betimvu, kumhlophe njengangcocwane; emehlo akhe afanana nelilangabi lemlilo. 15 Tinyawo takhe tatifanana nelitfusi lelilolongwe lacoliswa ngemlilo, livi lakhe lalifanana nekudvuma kwemanti lamanyenti. 16 Esandleni sakhe sangesekudla abephetse tinkhanyeti letisikhombisa, emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma inkemba leyayikhalipha tinhlangotsi totimbili, buso bakhe bumengetela njengelilanga emini. 17 Ngatsi kube ngimbone, ngawa ngasetinyaweni takhe, ngadzimate ngaba njengemuntfu lofile. Wangibamba ngesandla sakhe sangesekudla watsi: “Ungesabi, mine ngiwekucala newekugcina, 18 nalophilako. Ngafa, kodvwa ase ubheke nyalo, sengiyaphila, kuze kube phakadze, futsi nginetikhiya tekufa neteHayidesi. 19Manje-ke, bhala konkhe lokubonako: lokukhona nalokutakwenteka ngemvakwaloko. 20Imfihlakalo yaletinkhanyeti letisikhombisa lotibone esandleni sami sangesekudla, naletibane letisikhombisa ngule: Letinkhanyeti letisikhombisa tingilosi temabandla lasikhombisa; naletibane letisikhombisa ngemabandla lasikhombisa.”
