Revelation 10
1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.
Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine mwenye nguvu akishuka kutoka mbinguni. Alikuwa amevikwa wingu na upinde wa mvua juu ya kichwa chake. Uso wake ulingʼaa kama jua na miguu yake ilikuwa kama nguzo za moto.
2 He held in his hand a small scroll, which lay open. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.
Mkononi mwake alikuwa ameshika kijitabu kilichokuwa kimefunguliwa. Akauweka mguu wake wa kuume juu ya bahari na mguu wake wa kushoto akauweka juu ya nchi kavu.
3 Then he cried out in a loud voice like the roar of a lion. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.
Naye akapiga kelele kwa sauti kuu kama simba anayenguruma. Alipopiga kelele, zile radi saba zikatoa ngurumo zake.
4 When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to put it in writing. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
Nazo zile radi saba zilipotoa ngurumo, nilitaka kuanza kuandika, lakini nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Yatie muhuri hayo yaliyosemwa na hizo radi saba na usiyaandike.”
5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven.
Kisha yule malaika niliyekuwa nimemwona akiwa amesimama juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi akainua mkono wake wa kuume kuelekea mbinguni.
6 And he swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it: “There will be no more delay! (aiōn g165)
Naye akaapa kwa Yule aishiye milele na milele, aliyeumba mbingu na vyote vilivyomo, dunia na vyote viijazavyo, pamoja na bahari na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake, akasema, “Hakuna kungoja tena! (aiōn g165)
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants the prophets.”
Lakini katika siku zile ambazo huyo malaika wa saba atakapokaribia kuipiga hiyo tarumbeta yake, siri ya Mungu itatimizwa, kama vile alivyowatangazia watumishi wake manabii.”
8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the small scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the land.”
Ndipo ile sauti niliyokuwa nimeisikia kutoka mbinguni ikasema nami tena ikaniambia, “Nenda, chukua kile kitabu kilichofunguliwa kilichoko mkononi mwa yule malaika aliyesimama juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu.”
9 And I went to the angel and said, “Give me the small scroll.” “Take it and eat it,” he said. “It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
Basi nikamwendea nikamwomba yule malaika anipe kile kitabu kidogo. Akaniambia, “Chukua na ukile. Kitakuwa kichungu tumboni mwako, lakini kinywani mwako kitakuwa kitamu kama asali.”
10 So I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.
Hivyo nikakichukua kile kitabu kidogo kutoka mkononi mwa yule malaika nikakila. Kilikuwa kitamu kama asali kinywani mwangu, lakini baada ya kukila, tumbo langu likatiwa uchungu.
11 And they told me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
Kisha nikaambiwa, “Imekupasa kutoa unabii tena kuhusu makabila mengi, mataifa, lugha na wafalme.”
