¹Zvino ndakaona mumwe mutumwa une simba achiburuka kubva kudenga, akapfekedzwa gore; nemurarabungu uri pamusoro wake, chiso chake chakaita sezuva, netsoka dzake sembiru dzemoto;

¹And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

²uye wakange ane bhuku duku rakazaruka muruoko rwake, akaisa rutsoka rwake rwerudyi pamusoro pegungwa, nerweruboshwe pamusoro penyika;

²And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

³zvino akadanidzira nenzwi guru seshumba inodzvova; iye wakati adanidzira, kutinhira kunomwe kukabudisa manzwi ako.

³And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

⁴Zvino kutinhira kunomwe kwakati kwareva manzwi ako, ndakange ndododa kunyora, ndikanzwa inzwi richibva kudenga richiti kwandiri: Zarira zvarebwa nekutinhira kunomwe usanyora zvinhu izvi.

⁴And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

⁵Ipapo mutumwa uya wandakaona amire pamusoro pegungwa nepamusoro penyika, wakasimudzira ruoko rwake kudenga,

⁵And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

⁶akapika naiye mupenyu kusvikira rinhi narinhi, wakasika denga nezvinhu zvirimo, nenyika nezvinhu zvirimo, negungwa nezvinhu zvirimo, kuti nguva haingazovipo.

⁶And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

⁷Asi nemazuva enzwi remutumwa wechinomwe, kana woda kuridza, chakavanzika chaMwari chichapedziswa, sezvaakaparidzira varanda vake vaporofita.

⁷But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

⁸Zvino inzwi randakanzwa richibva kudenga rakataura kwandirizve rikati: Enda utore bhuku duku rakazaruka riri muruoko rwemutumwa, umire pamusoro pegungwa nepamusoro penyika.

⁸And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

⁹Ndikabva ndaenda kumutumwa, ndokuti kwaari: Ndipei bhuku duku. Akati kwandiri: Tora uridye; zvino richavavisa dumbu rako, asi mumuromo mako richatapira seuchi.

⁹And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

¹⁰Zvino ndakatora bhuku duku muruoko rwemutumwa ndikaridya; rikava mumuromo mangu seuchi kutapira; asi ndakangoti ndaridya dumbu rangu rikavava.

¹⁰And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

¹¹Akati kwandiri: Unofanira kuporofitazve pamberi pevanhu nendudzi nendimi nemadzimambo.

¹¹And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
