< 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.
Panyuma pakendi, ndalapewa katondo kalikuboneketi litete lyakupimisha, ne kung'ambileti, “Koya upime Ng'anda ya Lesa ne nteme kayi ubelenge bantu balakambililinga mu Ng'anda.
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.
Nomba kotaya upime lubuwa, pakwinga lulapewa ku bantu batamwinshi Lesa beti bakaulyataule munshi uswepa kwa myenshi makumi ana ne ibili.
3 And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Ninkatume bakamboni bakame babili bafwala masankunya beti bakakambauke mulumbe wa Lesa mu masuba ali cina cimo ne myanda ibili ne makumi asanu ne limo.”
4 These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
Bakamboni babili e bitondo bibili bya maolifi ne malampi abili ali pantangu pa Mwami lendeleshenga cishi capanshi.
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.
Na mulwani welekesha kubalinga, mukanwa mwabo nimukafume mulilo weshi ukabashine balwani, uliyense eshakelekeshe kubalinga nakafwe munshila imo imo ilico.
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.
Bakute ngofu shakucala kwilu kwambeti imfula kaitaloka pa cindi ncebalakambaukunga mulumbe wa Lesa. Bakute ngofu shakusandula menshi kuba milopa. Kayi bakute ngofu sha kuleta malwashi apusana pusana pacishi capanshi pa cindi ncebalayandanga.
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)
Bakapwisha kukambauka mulumbe bakamboni babili, cinyama ico cilapulunga mu cisengu citali ne kwisa kulwana nabo. Nicikabakome ne kubashina, (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.
bitumbi byabo nibikabenga byonekwa munshila sha mu munshi unene mwalapopwa Mwami. Lina lya mansendelele lya munshi uwo ni Sodomu nambi Injipito.
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.
Bantu ba mubishi byonse ne mishobo yonse ne milaka yonse, kayi ne bantu ba nkanda shapusana, nibakebelenga bitumbi ibyo kwa masuba atatu ne cintimbwi, nteti bakasuminisheti bibikwe mu manda.
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.
Pa cishi capanshi bantu nibakakondwe cebo ca lufu lwa aba bantu babili. Nibakasekelele ne kutumishilana bintu, pakwinga bashinshimi babili basa balapensha pa cishi capanshi.
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.
Nomba panyuma pa masuba atatu ne cintimbwi, muya weshikupa buyumi walafuma kuli Lesa walabengila. Balapatamuka ne kwimana, neco, bantu balababona balatina kwine.
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.
Lino bashinshimi babili basa balanyumfwa liswi lyali kompolola kwilu eti, “Kamwisani kwilu kuno!” Balwani babo kabacebelela, balo balanyamuka kuya kwilu mu likumbi.
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.
Pacindi copeleco kwalesa mutuntumo unene cakwinseti ng'anda imo pa manda ali likumi onse mumunshi alawa. Kayi bantu bina bisanu ne bibili Balafwa ne mutuntumo. Balashalapo balatina, balashikaisha bukulene bwa Lesa wa kwilu.
14 The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.
Malele atubili alapiti, nsombi kulesanga ca lino lino kayi malele atutatu!
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)
Mungelo wa cisanu ne cibili mpwalalilisha tolompita yakendi, kwilu kwalanyumfwika maswi akompolola alikwambeti, “Lino ngofu shakwendelesha cishi capanshi shilapewa mu makasa a Mwami wetu ne Klistu Wananikwa wakendi, endiyeti endeleshenga kwa muyayaya!” (aiōn g165)
16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,
Bamakulene makumi abili ne bana bekala pa bipuna bwa bwami pantangu pa Lesa balakotamika byeni ne kukambilila Lesa
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.
kabambeti, “Mwami Lesa Wangofu shonse omwalikubako kayi omuliko! Tulamulumbunga Pakwinga mulamanta ngofu shinene kayi mulatatiki kulela!
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.”
Bantu batamwinshi Lesa balakalala, nomba cindi ca bukalu bwenu cilashiki, cakwambeti bafwa bomboloshewe. Cindi cilashiki cakupa cilambo kuba basebenshi benu bashinshimi, ne bantu benu bonse, ne bonse balamupanga bulemu bamakulene ne batwanike. Cindi cilashiki ca kononga balonongonga cishi!”
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.
Ng'anda ya Lesa yalacaluka kwilu, Libokoshi lya Cipangano lyalaboneka mu Ng'anda ya Lesa. Popelapo kwalaba kubyasha ne nsakamwenge ne kutatala kwa mfula ne mutuntumo wa inshi kayi ne mfula ya mabwe.
