1. Ndabona izulu elitsha, nomhlaba omtsha; kuba elokuqala izulu nowokuqala umhlaba udlule, nolwandle alusekho.
2. Ndaza mna, Yohane, ndawubona umzi ongcwele, iYerusalem entsha, usihla uvela kuThixo, uphuma emazulwini, ulungisiwe njengomtshakazi ehonjiselwe indoda yakhe.
3. Ndeva izwi elikhulu liphuma emazulwini, lisithi:Yabona, umnquba lo kaThixo unabantu;Uya kuhlala nabo emnqubeni,Bona babe ngabantu bakhe,Yena uThixo abe nabo, enguThixo wabo;
4. Azisule uThixo zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo,Kungabi sabakho kufa,Kungabi sabakho nasijwili, nakukhala, nantlungu;Ngokuba izinto zokuqala zigqithile.
5. Waza lowo uhleli phezu kwetrone wathi, Ùyabona, izinto zonke ndizenza ntsha. Athi kum, Bhala; ngokuba lawo ngamazwi ayinyaniso, athembekileyo.
