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 strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as 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 upon the earth;

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

³and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the 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 uttered [their voices], I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the 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 that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right 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 the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay 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 is about to sound, then is finished they mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he 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, [I heard it] again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that 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, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be 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 when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.

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

¹¹And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.
