Laika na kitabu kitoto
1 Nimmona laika mwengine wakufumika pakulu futi akisuka mbinguni, rinzunguriza wingu, na kiswa cake cizunguriziwa na kipiji. Uso wake ukikorera kamba juwa, na maulu ake ákiwa kamba maribwi a moto. 2 Mmakono kasukula kitabu kitoto cakufunuriwa. Mulu wa nkono nriro katula mbahari, na mulu wa nkono sonto katula nrima. 3 Akikuwa na shauti ulu‑ulu kamba vyaturuma simba, kuno kukijibu kudidima mara saba.
4 Pakudidime mara saba, níkiwa tayari kwandika, falakini nisikira shauti mbinguni ikamba: “Fisa siiri yausikire nkati ya kudidima ka mara saba‑ko, usandike kinu!”
5 Ikisa laika wanimmonire emire julu ya bahari na nrima ire, akilamusa nkono nriro wake akiloza binguni. 6 Na akilapira zina ra ire aínshi milele, ombire bingu, ardhi, bahari, na piya viripo nkati yawo. Akamba: “Epa wakati auja kuwepo tena. 7 Falakini laika wasaba, paasaka kwibiya baramanda yake, Mwenyezimungu atimiza siiri ya mpango wake. Vikuja kukuna sawa‑sawa kamba vyaâwambire minabii, watumisi wake.”
8 Ikisa shauti ya mbinguni yanisikire, ikiludira kusowera nomi ikamba: “Uka, ukatware kitabu cifunuriwe casukure laika emire julu ya bahari na nrima.”
9 Basi nikinfika laika ire, nikinlebela kuwa anipe kitabu kitoto cire. Na iye akinambira: “Twala umize. Cikingira ntumbokulu cukuwawa, fala pakanywa pako cukunowa na‑na‑na kamba ansali.” 10 Ndimana, nikitwala kitabu kitoto cire mmakono mwa laika, nikimiza. Nkanywa‑mu cikinowa kamba ansali, fala pacingire ntumbokulu ciniwawa. 11 Ikisa nambiriwa: “Ujuzi ubushuru tena upya kuhusu wanu wengi, kabila‑zo, luga‑zo, pamoja na mafalume wengi.”
