Revelation 10
1 And I saw another strong Angel, descending from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like columns of fire.
Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine mwenye nguvu akishuka kutoka mbinguni. Alikuwa amevikwa wingu, na upinde wa mvua kichwani mwake. Uso wake ulikuwa kama jua, na miguu yake ilikuwa kama moto.
2 And he held in his hand a small open book. And he stationed his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the land.
Mikononi mwake alishika kitabu kidogo kimefunguliwa. Aliweka mguu wake wa kulia juu ya bahari, na wa kushoto juu ya nchi kavu,
3 And he cried out with a great voice, in the manner of a lion roaring. And when he had cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.
na kuita kwa sauti kubwa kama ya mngurumo wa simba. Alipopaaza sauti, ngurumo saba ziliitikia kwa kishindo.
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: “Seal the things that the seven thunders have spoken, and do not write them.”
Na hizo ngurumo saba ziliposema, mimi nikataka kuandika. Lakini nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni: “Maneno ya ngurumo hizo saba ni siri; usiyaandike!”
5 And the Angel, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted up his hand toward heaven.
Kisha yule malaika niliyemwona akisimama juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu akainua mkono wake wa kulia juu mbinguni,
6 And he swore by the One who lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that are in it; and the earth, and the things that are in it; and the sea, and the things that are in it: that the time will not be any longer, (aiōn g165)
akaapa kwa jina la Mungu aishiye milele na milele, Mungu aliyeumba mbingu na vyote vilivyomo, bahari na vyote vilivyomo, dunia na vyote vilivyomo. Akasema, “Wakati wa kusubiri zaidi umekwisha! (aiōn g165)
7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh Angel, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God will be completed, just as he has proclaimed in the Gospel, through his servants the Prophets.
Lakini wakati ule malaika wa saba atakapotoa sauti yake, wakati atakapopiga tarumbeta yake, Mungu atakamilisha mpango wake wa siri kama alivyowatangazia watumishi wake manabii.”
8 And again, I heard a voice from heaven speaking with me and saying: “Go and receive the open book from the hand of the Angel who stands upon the sea and upon the land.”
Kisha ile sauti niliyokuwa nimeisikia kutoka mbinguni pale awali ikasema nami tena: “Nenda ukakichukue kile kitabu kilichofunguliwa, kilicho mkononi mwa malaika asimamaye juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu.”
9 And I went to the Angel, saying to him that he should give the book to me. And he said to me: “Receive the book and consume it. And it shall cause bitterness in your stomach, but in your mouth it shall be sweet like honey.”
Basi, nikamwendea huyo malaika, nikamwambia anipe hicho kitabu kidogo. Naye akaniambia, “Kichukue, ukile; kinywani mwako kitakuwa kitamu kama asali, lakini tumboni kitakuwa kichungu!”
10 And I received the book from the hand of the Angel, and I consumed it. And it was sweet like honey in my mouth. And when I had consumed it, my stomach was made bitter.
Basi, nikakichukua kitabu hicho kidogo kutoka mkononi mwa huyo malaika, nikakila; nacho kilikuwa kitamu kinywani mwangu kama asali, lakini nilipokimeza kikawa kichungu tumboni mwangu.
11 And he said to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again about many nations and peoples and languages and kings.”
Kisha nikaambiwa, “Inakubidi tena kutangaza ujumbe wa Mungu kuhusu watu wengi, mataifa, watu wa lugha nyingi na wafalme!”
