Fweny 14
1 Eka ne angʼicho mi aneno Nyarombo kochungʼ ewi Got Sayun. To ne en kod ji alufu mia achiel gi piero angʼwen gangʼwen kendo nyinge owuon gi nying Wuon-gi nondiki e lela wengegi.
But then I saw the [one who is like a] lamb standing on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem]. With him were 144,000 [people]. His name and his Father’s name had been written {[He] had written his name and his Father’s name} on their foreheads.
2 Eka ne awinjo dwol moro moa e polo ka wuo ka pi aora maringo matek kendo ka mor mar polo. Dwolno mane awinjo ne chalo gi jo-thumbe mag nyatiti magoyo nyatiti.
I heard a sound from heaven, which was as [loud] [SIM] as the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide [river of rushing] water) and which was [also as loud as] [SIM] mighty thunder. The sound that I heard was like [the sound that] people make when they are playing their harps.
3 To ne giwero wer manyien ka gichungʼ e nyim kom duongʼ, kendo e nyim gik mangima angʼwen kod jodongogo. Bende ne onge ngʼato mane nyalo puonjore wero wendni makmana ogendini alufu mia achiel gi piero angʼwen gangʼwen mane gin joma nores koa e piny.
The 144,000 people were singing a new song [while they stood] in front of the throne, in front of the four living [creatures], and in front of the elders. Only the 144,000 [people], the ones who have been {whom [the one who is like a lamb] has} redeemed/bought from among the people on the earth, could learn that song. No one else could learn the song [that they sang].
4 Jogi e joma ne ok odwanyore gi mon, to ne giritore maler. Giluwo bangʼ Nyarombo kamoro amora modhiye. Nongʼiewgi kigologi kuom ji migichalo kaka olembe mokwongo chiek michiwo ni Nyasaye kod Nyarombo.
Those 144,000 are the people who are [spiritually] pure, [like] virgins [are morally pure]. They have not (defiled themselves/made themselves impure) [MET] [by worshipping any false god]. They are the ones who accompany Jesus, the [one who is like a] lamb, wherever he goes. They [represent all those whom he has] redeemed/bought for God from among the people [of earth, in order that he might offer] them to God and to [himself].
5 Miriambo ne ok owuok e dhogi, bende gionge gi ketho moro amora.
[Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
6 Eka ne aneno malaika machielo ka huyo e kor polo. Ne en gi Injili mochwere mane olando ne ji duto modak e piny, nolando wachno ne pinje duto, gi dhoudi duto kod dhok duto gi ogendini duto. (aiōnios g166)
I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
7 Nokok gi dwol maduongʼ kowacho niya, “Luoruru Nyasaye kendo miyeuru duongʼ, nikech sa ma ongʼadoe bura osechopo! Lamuru Jal mane ochweyo polo gi piny kaachiel gi nam kod sokni mag pi.”
He said in a loud voice, “Revere God and honor him, because it is now time for him to judge [people]! Worship [God, because he is] the one who created the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the springs of water.”
8 Eka malaika mar ariyo noluwe kawacho niya, “Yaye Babulon dala maduongʼ osepodho piny! Osepodho Piny! En e dhako cha mane omiyo ogendini duto omadho divai mar mer mar terruokne.”
A second angel came after him saying, “The very evil [cities] (OR, [city]) [represented by] Babylon are completely destroyed! [God] has punished [their people because] they [have persuaded people of] all the nations [to forsake God, just like a prostitute] [MET] persuades [men] to drink [strong] wine and [as a result] commit sexual immorality.”
9 Bangʼ mano, malaika mar adek nobiro bangʼ-gi kowacho gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Ka ngʼato angʼata olamo ondiek malich kod gima ket kode, kendo ondikne kido e lela wangʼe kata e lwete,
A third angel came next, saying in a loud voice, “If people worship the beast and its image and [allow] its mark to be put {its [agent to] put its mark} on their foreheads or on their hands,
10 ngʼatno, bende, nyaka nomadh divai mar mirimb Nyasaye, moseol mopongʼ giteko moo ei kikombe mar mirimbe. Noyud sand ei mach makakni e nyim malaika maler, kendo e nyim Nyarombo.
God will be angry with them and punish them very severely [MET]. They will be tormented {[God] will torment them} in burning sulfur in the presence of his holy angels and in the presence of the [one who is like a] lamb.
11 To iro mar mach mar sandgino dhi malo nyaka chiengʼ. Jogo malamo ondiek malich kod gima ket kode, kata jogo mondik negi kido mar nyinge, ok noyud yweyo odiechiengʼ kata otieno.” (aiōn g165)
The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
12 Ngʼeyo tiend wachni dwaro kinda kod dhil mar joma rito chike mag Nyasaye, kendo osiko koyie kuom Yesu.
So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
13 Eka nawinjo dwol moa e polo kawacho niya, “Ndik ni: Chakre kawuononi, jogo gin joma ogwedhi matho kogeno kuom Ruoth!” Roho bende wacho ni, “Ee, gin johawi adier, nikech giniywe kuom tichgi matek, nimar timbegi noluwgi.”
I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write [this: God will] now [abundantly] bless the people who have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus] for the rest of [their lives].” [God’s] Spirit says, “Yes, [after they die], they will no longer have to work hard. Instead, they will rest, and [the record of the good deeds] [MTY] that they have done will go with them (OR, [God] will [reward them] for the good deeds that they have done).”
14 To ne angʼicho, mi naneno bor polo marachar e nyima, to ewi bor polono ne nitie ngʼama obetie “machalo gi wuod dhano.” Nosidho osimbo mar dhahabu e wiye, kendo ne otingʼo pala mabith mar keyo e lwete.
Then I was surprised to see a white cloud, and on the cloud [someone] was sitting who looked like the one who came from heaven. He [was wearing] a golden crown on his head. In his hand [he held] a sharp sickle.
15 Eka malaika machielo nowuok oa e hekalu kaluongo jal mobedo e bor polono gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Kaw pandi mar keyo mondo ike, nikech sa mar keyo osechopo, nimar cham manie piny, osechiek.”
Another angel came out of the temple [in heaven]. In a loud voice, [speaking figuratively about gathering people for God to judge them], he said to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “The time has come to reap [the grain on the earth], so with your sickle [reap] the [grain], because the grain on the earth is ripe.”
16 Omiyo jal mane obet e bor polo notiyo gi pande mar keyo e piny, mi nokayo piny ka cham.
The one who was sitting on the cloud forcefully gathered together [all the people] on earth, [as] [MET] [a farmer] reaps grain with his sickle.
17 To malaika machielo nowuok oa e hekalu manie polo, en bende ne en gi pala mabith mar keyo.
Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
18 Eka malaika moro machielo, mane nigi teko kuom mach, noa e kar kendo mar misango kendo noluongo gi dwol maduongʼ jalno mane nigi pala mabith mar keyo kowachone niya, “Kaw pandi mabithno mar keyo mondo ikago olemb mzabibu mag piny, nikech olembene ochiek ahinya!”
From the altar came another angel. He is the one who takes care of the fire [of the altar. Also speaking figuratively about gathering the wicked people for God to judge and punish them], he said in a loud voice to the angel who held the sharp sickle, “With your sharp sickle cut off the clusters of grapes in the vineyards on the earth! Then gather the clusters of grapes together, because its grapes are ripe!”
19 Omiyo malaikano notiyo gi pande mar keyo e piny, ne okayo olembe mzabibu kendo noketogi kar biyo mzabibu maduongʼ mar mirimb Nyasaye.
So, [just like a man would] cut off with his sickle the clusters of grapes in his vineyard [MET], an angel forcefully [gathered the wicked people] on the earth. Then he threw them into the huge place where God will angrily punish them.
20 Olembego ne obi kinyonogi gi tielo e kar bichono e pap oko mar dala, to remo nochwer kamol kawuok kar bichono, mochopo mabor moromo kilomita mia adek koa e dala, to tut remono ne nyalo romo fut abich.
[The wicked people] were trampled on {[God’s agent] trod on [the wicked people]} [in] the winepress outside the city. The blood that came out from the winepress flowed [in a stream so deep that it reached] to the bridles of the horses, [and extended] (180 miles/300 kilometers).
