< Revelation 11 >

1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there.
Ningĩ ngĩnengerwo mũrangi wa gũthima wahaanaga ta rũthanju, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũthime hekarũ ya Ngai na kĩgongona, na ũtare andũ arĩa marahooya Ngai kuo.
2 But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.
No nja ya hekarũ ũtigane nayo, ndũkamĩthime tondũ nĩĩhetwo andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ. Nao nĩmakarangĩrĩria itũũra rĩu itheru ihinda rĩa mĩeri mĩrongo ĩna na ĩĩrĩ.
3 And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Na niĩ nĩngaahe aira akwa eerĩ hinya, nao nĩmakaratha ũhoro handũ ha matukũ 1,260 mehumbĩte nguo cia makũnia.”
4 These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
Acio nĩo mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa ĩĩrĩ, na nĩo mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩĩrĩ ya kũigĩrĩrwo matawa ĩrĩa ĩrũgamĩte mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ.
5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩkaageria kũmeka ũũru, mwaki ũkoimaga tũnua twao ũkaniina thũ icio ciao. Na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩkenda kũmeka ũũru no nginya akue o ũguo.
6 These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.
Andũ aya marĩ na hinya wa kũhinga igũrũ nĩgeetha gũtikae kuura mbura ihinda rĩrĩa makaaratha ũhoro; ningĩ marĩ na hinya wa kũgarũra maaĩ matuĩke thakame. O na ningĩ marĩ na hinya wa kũhũũra thĩ na mĩthemba yothe ya mĩthiro maita maingĩ o ta ũrĩa mangĩenda.
7 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Rĩrĩa makaarĩkia kũheana ũira wao-rĩ, nyamũ ĩrĩa yambataga yumĩte Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi nĩĩkamatharĩkĩra ĩmatoorie, na ĩmoorage. (Abyssos g12)
8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.
Nacio ciimba ciao igaatigwo ciaraganĩte njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩrĩa inene, rĩrĩa rĩgerekanagio rĩgetwo Sodomu kana Misiri, na nĩkuo Mwathani wao aambĩirwo mũtĩ igũrũ.
9 For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.
Na ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩtatũ na nuthu, andũ a kuuma iruka ciothe, na mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na thiomi ciothe na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nĩmakerorera ciimba ciao, na magirie ithikwo.
10 And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.
Nao andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ nĩmagakenerera aira acio, na makũngũĩre magĩtũmanagĩra iheo, tondũ anabii acio eerĩ nĩmanyariiraga andũ a gũkũ thĩ.
11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
No thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ na nuthu, mĩhũmũ ya muoyo ĩkĩmatoonya yumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nao makĩrũgama na magũrũ mao, na arĩa maamonire makĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩmako kĩnene mũno.
12 And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.
Ningĩ makĩigua mũgambo mũnene uumĩte igũrũ ũkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ambatai na gũkũ.” Nao makĩambata igũrũ marĩ itu-inĩ, thũ ciao imeroreire.
13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Ithaa o rĩu-rĩ, gũkĩgĩa na gĩthingithia kĩnene, nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi gĩa itũũra rĩu gĩkĩmomoka. Andũ ngiri mũgwanja makĩũragwo nĩ gĩthingithia kĩu, nao arĩa maatigarire makĩmaka na makĩgooca Ngai wa igũrũ.
14 The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.
Haaro ya keerĩ nĩyathira, haaro ya gatatũ-rĩ, ĩgũũka o narua.
15 Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
Nake mũraika wa mũgwanja akĩhuha karumbeta gake, nakuo gũkĩgĩa na mĩgambo mĩnene kũu igũrũ, nayo ĩkiuga atĩrĩ: “Ũthamaki wa thĩ nĩũtuĩkĩte ũthamaki wa Mwathani witũ, o na Kristũ wake, nake egũtũũra athamakaga nginya tene na tene.” (aiōn g165)
16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,
Nao athuuri arĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana, arĩa maaikarĩire itĩ ciao cia ũnene mbere ya Ngai, magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ makĩhooya Ngai,
17 saying: “We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
makiuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩtwagũcookeria ngaatho, Mwathani Ngai, Wee Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o Wee ũrĩ ho, na nowe warĩ ho, tondũ nĩwoete hinya waku mũnene, ũkambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
18 The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great— and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Ndũrĩrĩ nacio nĩciarakarire; namo mangʼũrĩ maku nĩmakinyĩte. Hĩndĩ nĩnginyu ya andũ arĩa akuũ gũtuĩrwo ciira, o na ya kũhe anabii, ndungata ciaku, iheo, hamwe na arĩa aamũre, na arĩa metigĩrĩte rĩĩtwa rĩaku, arĩa anini na anene, o na ya kwananga arĩa manangaga thĩ.”
19 Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
Ningĩ hekarũ ya Ngai kũu igũrũ ĩkĩhingũrwo, na thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake gũkĩoneka ithandũkũ rĩrĩa rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake. Nakuo gũkĩgĩa na heni, na marurumĩ, na ngwa, na gĩthingithia, na mbura nene ya mbembe.
