1 Anju wacixanu adaliza cimbututu cace, ndipo ndidawona nyenyezi yomwe ikhadagwera pantsi kucokera kudzulu. Nyenyezi imweyo idapasidwa cifungulo ca pakupitira muCigwindza*. 2 Pomwe iye adafungula Cigwindzaco, padacoka utsi ninga bwa pacipala cikulu bucikwira. Dzuwa na m'dzaulu bzidakhala bzisvipa na utsi bomwe bukhacoka muCigwindzamo. 3 Pautsipo padacoka mabombo yacibwera padziko la pantsi, ndipo yadapasidwa mphambvu ninga za mabambalize ya padziko la pantsi. 4 Iyo yadauzidwa kuti yaleke kudzonga ngakhale uswa bwa padziko la pantsi, napo cakumera ciri-centse ayai muti, tsono wale okha omwe akhalibe m'dindo wa Mulungu pamkuma. 5 Yalibe kupasidwa mphambvu zakuti yawaphe, tsono kuti yawabonerese kwene-kwene m'kati mwa minyezi mixanu (5). Kuwawidwa komwe adabonera nako kudakhala ninga kulumidwa na bambalize. 6 Pantsiku zimwezo wanthu an'dzanyang'ana impfa, tsono impfa an'dzaiwona lini, an'dzafuna kufa, tsono impfa in'dzawathawa.
7 Mabomboyo yakhawoneka ninga makavalo yakukondzekera nkhondo. Mumsolo mwayene mukhana cinthu ninga ntsinga-msolo ya oro, ndipo nkhope zayene zikhawoneka ninga za wanthu. 8 Tsisi layene likhali ninga la akazi ndipo mano ninga ya mphondolo. 9 Pacifuwa payene pakhana cakukhocherera ninga cakukhocherera ca utale, ndipo muwira wa maphaphidwe yayene ukhali ninga muwira wa makavalo mazinji na ngolo zakuthamangira kunkhondo. 10 Mabomboyo yakhana micira yakupfonda ninga ya bambalize ndipo kumicirako kukhana mphambvu zakupweteka wanthu mukati mwa minyezi mixanu (5). 11 Yakhana mambo wayene, anju wa kuCigwindza†, omwe dzina lace muciHeberi ni Abadoni ndipo muciGiriki ni Apoliyoni.‡
12 Tsoka lakuyamba lapita, tsoka linango laciwiri lirikubwera.
13 Anju wacitanthatu adaliza cimbututu cace, ndipo ndidabva fala lomwe likhacokera magonyo manai ya guwa la oro§ lomwe liri patsogolo pa Mulungu. 14 Fala lidauza anju wacitanthatu omwe akhana cimbututu kuti: “Tsudzula anju anai omwe adamangiridwa pafupi na mkulo ukulu wa Eufarate”. 15 Anju anai omwe akhadakondzekera nthawe imweyo, ntsiku imweyo, mwezi umweyo na gole limwero, adatsudzulidwa kuti akaphe cipande cibodzi ca bzipande bzitatu ca wanthu. 16 Wakupakira pamakavalo omwe akhali pamthithi wa nkhondoyo, mbogo yawo ikhali madzana mawiri ya culu ca bzulu (200,000,000). Ine ndidabva mbogo yawo.
17 Makavalo na wakupakira wace omwe ndidawona m'maso-mphenya akhana mawonekedwe ya tenepayu: Bzakukhocherera bza pacifuwa bzace bzikhali bzifuira ninga moto, bzakubiriwira ninga jasinto**, na bza safalau ninga enxofre††. Msolo wa makavalo ukhawoneka ninga msolo wa mphondolo, ndipo pamulomo pakhacoka moto, utsi na enxofre. 18 Cipande cibodzi ca bzipande bzitatu ca wanthu adaphedwa na bzisi bzitatubzi: Ca moto, utsi na enxofre, bzomwe bzikhacoka pamilomo ya makavalo. 19 Mphambvu za makavaloyo zikhali pamulomo na kumcira. Nakuti micira yace ikhali ninga nyoka, ndipo ikhana misolo yomwe ikhapweteka wanthu.
20 Wanthu omwe adasala pa kufa na bzisi bzimwebzo alibe kukhumbula kuti asiye mabasa ya manja yawo, bzirikulewa kuti iwo alibe kuleka kutumbiza mizimu yakuipa na bzifanikizo bza oro, parata, burondze, minyala na miti, bzifanikizo bzomwe bziniwona lini, napo kubva ayai kufamba. 21 Napombo alibe kukhumbula pa bzitazo bzawo bza kupha, bza ufiti, bza malume yakuletsedwa, na bza kuba.
