12 Ndinacheuka kuti ndione, kuti ndani amene anali kundilankhula. Nditacheuka, ndinaona zoikapo nyale 7 zagolide.+ 13 Pakati pa zoikapo nyalezo, panali wina wooneka ngati mwana wa munthu+ atavala chovala chofika kumapazi, atamanga lamba wagolide pachifuwa. 14 Komanso, mutu ndi tsitsi lake zinali zoyera+ ngati ubweya wa nkhosa woyera, zoyera kwambiri kuti mbee! Ndipo maso ake anali ngati lawi la moto.+ 15 Mapazi ake anali ngati mkuwa woyengedwa+ bwino ukamanyezimira m’ng’anjo, ndipo mawu+ ake anali ngati mkokomo wa madzi ambiri. 16 M’dzanja lake lamanja anali ndi nyenyezi 7.+ M’kamwa mwake munali kutuluka lupanga lalitali, lakuthwa konsekonse.+ Nkhope yake inali yowala ngati dzuwa limene likuwala kwambiri.+ 17 Nditamuona, ndinagwa pamapazi ake ngati kuti ndafa.
Ndipo anandigwira ndi dzanja lake lamanja ndi kundiuza kuti: “Usachite mantha.+ Ine ndine Woyamba+ ndi Wotsiriza,+ 18 ndiponso wamoyo.+ Ndinali wakufa,+ koma taona, ndili ndi moyo kwamuyaya,+ ndipo ndili ndi makiyi a imfa+ ndi a Manda.*+ 19 Choncho lemba zimene waona, zimene zikuchitika panopa, ndi zimene zidzachitike pambuyo pa zimenezi.+ 20 Koma za chinsinsi chopatulika cha nyenyezi 7,+ zimene waona m’dzanja langa lamanja, ndi za chinsinsi cha zoikapo nyale 7 zagolide,+ tanthauzo lake ndi ili: Nyenyezi 7, zikuimira angelo* a mipingo 7, ndipo zoikapo nyale 7, zikuimira mipingo 7.+
