Malo wokhalapo Mulungu ali pakati pa anthu, ndipo Iye adzakhala ndi anthuwo. Iwo adzakhala anthu ake ndipo Mulungu mwini adzakhala nawo nakhala Mulungu wawo. 4 ‘Mulungu adzapukuta misozi yonse mʼmaso mwawo. Sikudzakhalanso imfa kapena kukhuza maliro kapena kulira kapena ululu popeza zakale zapita.’ ”
5 Amene anakhala pa mpando waufumuyo anati, “Ndikulenga zinthu zonse zikhale zatsopano!” Ndipo anati, “Lemba izi, pakuti mawu awa ndi okhulupirika ndi woona.”
6 Iye anandiwuza kuti, “Kwatha. Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza. Kwa onse akumva ludzu, ndidzawapatsa zakumwa zaulere zochokera ku kasupe wamadzi amoyo. 7 Iye amene adzapambane adzalandira zonsezi, ndipo ndidzakhala Mulungu wake ndi Iye adzakhala mwana wanga. 8 Koma amantha, osakhulupirira, okonda zonyansa, opha anthu, achiwerewere, amatsenga, opembedza mafano ndi abodza, malo awo adzakhala nyanja yamoto ya sulufule wotentha. Iyi ndi imfa yachiwiri.”
