< Revelation 11 >
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and it was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar and them that adore therein.
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 the court, which is without the temple, cast out, and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city they shall tread under foot two and forty 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 give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty 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 are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks, 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 And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths, and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain.
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 have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and they have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues as often as they will.
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 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast, that ascendeth out of the abyss, shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos )
Rĩrĩa makaarĩkia kũheana ũira wao-rĩ, nyamũ ĩrĩa yambataga yumĩte Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi nĩĩkamatharĩkĩra ĩmatoorie, na ĩmoorage. (Abyssos )
8 And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was 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 And they of the tribes, and peoples, and tongues, and nations, shall see their bodies for three days and a half: and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid in sepulchres.
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 they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth.
Nao andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ nĩmagakenerera aira acio, na makũngũĩre magĩtũmanagĩra iheo, tondũ anabii acio eerĩ nĩmanyariiraga andũ a gũkũ thĩ.
11 And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them that 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 they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them: Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies saw them.
Ningĩ makĩigua mũgambo mũnene uumĩte igũrũ ũkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ambatai na gũkũ.” Nao makĩambata igũrũ marĩ itu-inĩ, thũ ciao imeroreire.
13 And at that hour there was made a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell: and there were slain in the earthquake names of men seven thousand: and the rest were cast into a fear, 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 is past: and behold the third woe will come quickly.
Haaro ya keerĩ nĩyathira, haaro ya gatatũ-rĩ, ĩgũũka o narua.
15 And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet: and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of this world is become our Lord’s and his Christ’s, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
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 )
16 And the four and twenty ancients, who sit on their seats in the sight of God, fell on their faces and adored God, saying:
Nao athuuri arĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana, arĩa maaikarĩire itĩ ciao cia ũnene mbere ya Ngai, magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ makĩhooya Ngai,
17 We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art to come: because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and thou hast reigned.
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 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and great, and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted 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 And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail.
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.
