Oshipala she osha li sha fa etango, nomagulu ge oga li ga fa oongudhi dha tema omulilo. 2 Oye okwa li e na okambo okashona ka pandjwa moshikaha she. Okwa lyata ompadhi ye yokolulyo kombanda yefuta noyokolumoho okevi, 3 nokwi igidha newi enene lya fa lyonime tayi ndunduma. Ano sho i igidha ngeyi, okwa yamukulwa komityalakato heyali. 4 Mbalambala omityalakato ndhoka sho dha popi, onda li nda hala okunyola oohapu. Ihe ondu uvu ewi tali popi megulu tali ti: “Mwenena oohapu ndhoka dha popiwa komityalakato ndhoka heyali, ino dhi nyola!”

11 Nena onda lombwelwa taku tiwa: “Ou na okulombwela natango iigwana oyindji, omihoko, omalaka naakwaniilwa elaka lyaKalunga.”
The Angel and the Little Scroll
1 I saw another powerful angel come down from heaven. This one was covered with a cloud, and a rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun, his legs were like columns of fire, 2 and with his hand he held a little scroll that had been unrolled. He stood there with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. 3 Then he shouted with a voice that sounded like a growling lion. Thunder roared seven times.
4 After the thunder stopped, I was about to write what it had said. But a voice from heaven shouted, “Keep it secret! Don't write these things.”
5 The angel I had seen standing on the sea and the land then held his right hand up toward heaven. 6 He made a promise in the name of God who lives forever and who created heaven, earth, the sea, and every living creature. The angel said, “You won't have to wait any longer. 7 God told his secret plans to his servants the prophets, and it will all happen by the time the seventh angel sounds his trumpet.”
8 Once again the voice from heaven spoke to me. It said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel standing on the sea and the land.”
9 When I went over to ask the angel for the little scroll, the angel said, “Take the scroll and eat it! Your stomach will turn sour, but the taste in your mouth will be sweet as honey.” 10 I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. The taste was sweet as honey, but my stomach turned sour.
11 Then some voices said, “Keep on telling what will happen to the people of many nations, races, and languages, and also to kings.”
