1 Ngabuye ngaphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona; bheka, nanko umqulu wencwadi ondizayo.
2 Yathi kimi: “Ubonani na?”Ngathi: “Ngibona umqulu wencwadi ondizayo, ubude bawo buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nobubanzi bawo buyizingalo eziyishumi.”
3 Yayisithi kimi: “Nasi isiqalekiso esiphumela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke, ngokuba ngokusho kwaso bonke abebayo bayakunqunywa lapha, nabo bonke abafungayo bayakunqunywa lapha ngokusho kwaso.
4 ‘Ngiyakusiphumisa,’ usho uJehova Sebawoti, ‘singene endlini yesela nasendlini yofunga amanga ngegama lami, sihlale phakathi kwendlu yakhe, siyiqede kanye nemithi yayo namatshe ayo.’ ”
5 Yayisiphuma ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami, yathi kimi: “Ake uphakamise amehlo akho, ubone ukuthi kuyini lokhu okuphumayo.”
6 Ngathi: “Kuyini?”Yathi: “Lokhu kuyi-efa* eliphumayo.” Yabuye yathi: “Lokhu kungububi babo ezweni lonke.”
7 Bheka, isisibekelo somthofu saziphakamisa, kwakungowesifazane owahlala phakathi kwe-efa.
8 Yathi: “Lokhu kungububi.” Wamphonsa phakathi kwe-efa, waphonsa isisindo somthofu emlonyeni walo.
9 Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona; bheka, kwaphuma abesifazane ababili, umoya usemaphikweni abo; babe namaphiko njengamaphiko kanogolantethe, baliphakamisa i-efa emkhathini wezulu nomhlaba.
10 Ngase ngithi kuyo ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami: “Laba baliyisaphi i-efa na?”
11 Yathi kimi: “Ukulakhela indlu ezweni laseShineyari; isilungisiwe liyakubekwa khona endaweni yalo.”
