Revelation 16
1 And I heard a great voyce out of the Temple, saying to the seuen Angels, Go your wayes, and powre out the seuen vials of the wrath of God vpon the earth.
Kisha nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka mle Hekaluni ikiwaambia wale malaika saba, “Nendeni, mkayamwage duniani hayo mabakuli saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu.”
2 And the first went and powred out his viall vpon the earth: and there fell a noysome, and a grieuous sore vpon the men, which had the marke of ye beast, and vpon them which worshipped his image.
Malaika wa kwanza akaenda akalimwaga hilo bakuli lake juu ya nchi. Majipu mabaya yenye maumivu makali yakawapata wale watu wote waliokuwa na chapa ya yule mnyama na walioabudu sanamu yake.
3 And the second Angel powred out his viall vpon the sea, and it became as the blood of a dead man: and euery liuing thing dyed in the sea.
Malaika wa pili akalimwaga bakuli lake baharini, nayo ikabadilika kuwa damu kama ya mtu aliyekufa na kila kiumbe hai kilichokuwa ndani ya bahari kikafa.
4 And the third Angel powred out his viall vpon the riuers and fountaines of waters, and they became blood.
Malaika wa tatu akalimwaga bakuli lake katika mito na chemchemi za maji, nazo zikawa damu.
5 And I heard the Angel of the waters say, Lord, thou art iust, Which art, and Which wast: and Holy, because thou hast iudged these things.
Ndipo nikamsikia malaika msimamizi wa maji akisema: “Wewe una haki katika hukumu hizi ulizotoa, wewe uliyeko, uliyekuwako, Uliye Mtakatifu, kwa sababu umehukumu hivyo;
6 For they shed the blood of the Saints, and Prophets, and therefore hast thou giuen them blood to drinke: for they are worthy.
kwa kuwa walimwaga damu ya watakatifu wako na manabii wako, nawe umewapa damu wanywe kama walivyostahili.”
7 And I heard another out of the Sanctuarie say, Euen so, Lord God almightie, true and righteous are thy iudgements.
Nikasikia madhabahu ikiitikia, “Naam, Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi, hukumu zako ni kweli na haki.”
8 And the fourth Angel powred out his viall on the sunne, and it was giuen vnto him to torment men with heate of fire,
Malaika wa nne akamimina bakuli lake kwenye jua, nalo likapewa nguvu za kuwaunguza watu kwa moto.
9 And men boyled in great heate, and blasphemed the Name of God, which hath power ouer these plagues, and they repented not, to giue him glorie.
Watu wakaunguzwa na hilo joto kali, wakalaani Jina la Mungu, aliyekuwa na uwezo juu ya mapigo haya, tena wakakataa kutubu na kumtukuza Mungu.
10 And the fifth Angel powred out his viall vpon the throne of the beast, and his kingdome waxed darke, and they gnawed their tongues for sorowe,
Malaika wa tano akamimina bakuli lake kwenye kiti cha enzi cha yule mnyama, nao ufalme wake ukagubikwa na giza. Watu wakatafuna ndimi zao kwa ajili ya maumivu,
11 And blasphemed the God of heauen for their paines, and for their sores, and repented not of their workes.
wakamlaani Mungu wa mbinguni kwa sababu ya maumivu na majeraha yao, wala hawakutubu kwa ajili ya matendo yao maovu.
12 And the sixth Angel powred out his viall vpon the great riuer Euphrates, and the water thereof dried vp, that the way of the Kings of the East should be prepared.
Malaika wa sita akamimina bakuli lake kwenye mto mkubwa Frati, maji yake yakakauka ili kutayarisha njia kwa ajili ya wafalme watokao Mashariki.
13 And I sawe three vncleane spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of that dragon, and out of the mouth of that beast, and out of the mouth of that false prophet.
Kisha nikaona roho wachafu watatu waliofanana na vyura wakitoka katika kinywa cha lile joka na katika kinywa cha yule mnyama na katika kinywa cha yule nabii wa uongo.
14 For they are the spirits of deuils, working miracles, to go vnto the Kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to gather them to the battell of that great day of God Almightie.
Hizo ndizo roho za pepo wachafu zitendazo miujiza. Nazo huwaendea wafalme wa ulimwengu wote na kuwakusanya tayari kwa ajili ya vita katika siku ile kuu ya Mungu Mwenyezi.
15 (Beholde, I come as a theefe. Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, least hee walke naked, and men see his filthines)
“Tazama, naja kama mwizi! Amebarikiwa yeye akeshaye na kuziweka tayari nguo zake ili asiende uchi na kuonekana aibu yake.”
16 And they gathered them together into a place called in Hebrewe Arma-gedon.
Ndipo wakawakusanya wafalme pamoja mahali paitwapo Armagedoni kwa Kiebrania.
17 And the seuenth Angel powred out his viall into the ayre: and there came a loude voyce out of the Temple of heauen from the throne, saying, It is done.
Malaika wa saba akamimina bakuli lake angani na sauti kubwa ikatoka mle hekaluni katika kile kiti cha enzi, ikisema, “Imekwisha kuwa!”
18 And there were voyces, and thundrings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were vpon the earth, euen so mightie an earthquake.
Kukawa na mianga ya umeme wa radi, ngurumo, radi na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi. Hapajawa kamwe na tetemeko la ardhi kama hilo tangu mwanadamu awepo duniani, hivyo lilikuwa tetemeko kubwa ajabu.
19 And the great citie was deuided into three partes, and the cities of the nations fell: and that great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to giue vnto her the cup of the wine of the fiercenesse of his wrath.
Ule mji mkubwa ukagawanyika katika sehemu tatu, nayo miji ya mataifa ikaanguka. Mungu akaukumbuka Babeli Mkuu na kumpa kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo wa ghadhabu ya hasira yake.
20 And euery yle fled away, and the mountaines were not found.
Kila kisiwa kikatoweka wala milima haikuonekana.
21 And there fell a great haile, like talents, out of heauen vpon the men, and men blasphemed God, because of the plague of the haile: for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Mvua kubwa ya mawe yenye uzito wa talanta moja ikashuka kutoka mbinguni, ikawaangukia wanadamu. Nao wanadamu wakamlaani Mungu kwa ajili ya hayo mapigo ya mvua ya mawe, kwa sababu pigo hilo lilikuwa la kutisha.
