IsAmbulo 18

¹Emva kwalokho ngabona enye ingelosi yehla ezulwini, inamandla amakhulu; futhi umhlaba wakhanyiswa ngenkazimulo yakhe.

²Sasesimemeza ngelizwi elilamandla, sisithi: Liwile, iBhabhiloni elikhulu, njalo selibe yindawo yokuhlala amadimoni, lenqaba yabo bonke omoya abangcolileyo, lesibaya senyoni zonke ezingcolileyo lezizondekayo.

³Ngokuba izizwe zonke ziphuzile ewayinini lolaka lobufebe balo, namakhosi omhlaba afeba nalo, nabathengisi bomhlaba banothile ngokuchichima kwezibiliboco zalo.

⁴Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: “Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zayo, nokuze ningamukeli okwezinhlupho zayo.

⁵Ngokuba izono zalo zifinyelele ezulwini, noNkulunkulu ukhumbulile ukungalungi kwalo.

⁶Linikeni njengalokho lanivuza, niligcwalise ngokuphindwe kabili ngokwemisebenzi yalo;

⁷Ngalokho elizikhazimulise ngakhona, lazithokozisa, mnikeni ukuhlushwa nokudabuka okungaka, ngokuba lithi enhliziyweni yalo: ‘Ngihlezi ngiyindlovukazi, angisuye umfelokazi, futhi angiyikubona ukudabuka.’

⁸Ngakho-ke izinhlupho zalo ziyakufika ngalusuku lunye, ukufa, nokulila, nendlala; iyakushiswa nokushiswa ngomlilo, ngokuba inamandla iNkosi uJehova owahlulelayo.

⁹Lamakhosi omhlaba aphingayo laye aphile kamnandi laye, azakulilela, alilele, lapho ebona intuthu yokutshiswa kwayo;

¹⁰emi khatshana ngokwesaba ukuhlutshwa kwalo, esithi: Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu iBhabhiloni, umuzi onamandla! ngoba ngehora elilodwa ukwahlulela kwakho kufike.

¹¹Abathengisi bomhlaba bayakulila, balikhalele; ngoba akusekho muntu othenga impahla yabo.

¹²Ukuthengiswa kwegolide, nesiliva, namatshe anenani, namaparele, nelineni elicolekileyo, nokububende, nosilika, nokubomvu, nazo zonke izigodo zakho, nezitsha zonke zophondo lwendlovu, nezitsha zonke zokhuni oluyigugu; neyethusi, nensimbi, netshe letsheba;

¹³nesinamoni, nempepho, namafutha okugcoba, nenhlaka, newayini, namafutha, nempuphu ecolekileyo, nokolweni, nezinkomo, nezimvu, namahhashi, nezinqola, nezinceku, nemiphefumulo yabantu.

¹⁴Nezithelo umphefumulo wakho ozifisayo zimukile kuwe, nakho konke okumnandi nokubukekayo kumuka kuwe, awusayikuzithola nhlobo.

¹⁵Abathengisi balezo zinto abacetshiswa ngalo bayakuma kude ngokwesaba ukuhlushwa kwalo, bekhala belila;

¹⁶bethi: “Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu owawumbethe ilineni elicolekileyo, nokububende, nokubomvu, uhlotshiswe ngegolide, namatshe anenani, namaparele!

¹⁷Ngokuba ngehora linye ingcebo engaka isichithiwe. Bonke abaqhubi bemikhumbi, nesixuku sonke semikhumbi, namatilosi, nabo bonke abahweba olwandle bema kude;

¹⁸Bamemeza bebona umusi wokushiswa kwalo, bethi: “Ngumuphi umuzi ofana nalo muzi omkhulu na?

¹⁹Base bethela uthuli emakhanda abo, bamemeza bekhala, belila, bethi: “Maye, maye, muzi omkhulu, lapho kwacetshiswa khona bonke ababenemikhumbi olwandle ngenxa yokubiza kwawo okuhle! ngoba ngehora elilodwa selichithekile.

²⁰Thokoza ngawo wena zulu, nani baphostoli abangcwele, nani baprofethi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ukuphindisele kulo.

²¹Ingelosi enamandla yafukula itshe elinjengelokusila elikhulu, yaliphonsa olwandle, ithi: “Kanjalo iBabiloni umuzi omkhulu liyakuphonswa phansi ngamandla, lingabe lisafunyanwa.

²²Izwi lababetha amahabhu, nabahlabeleli, nabashaya imitshingo, nabamacilongo alisayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye; kayisayikutholwa kuwe ngcweti yanoma yimuphi umsebenzi oyiwo; umsindo wetshe lokugaya awusayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye;

²³Nokukhanya kwesibani akusayikukhanya kuwe nakanye; nezwi lomyeni nelomlobokazi alisayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye; ngokuba ngobuthakathi bakho izizwe zonke zikhohlisiwe.

²⁴Kuyo kwafunyanwa igazi labaprofethi, nelabangcwele, nelabo bonke ababulawa emhlabeni.
