Revelation 20
1 And I saw an Angel come downe from heauen, hauing the keye of the bottomles pit, and a great chaine in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
Kisha niliona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa na ufunguo wa shimo lisilo na mwisho na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. (Abyssos g12)
2 And he tooke the dragon that olde serpent, which is the deuill and Satan, and he bounde him a thousand yeeres:
Alimshika yule joka, nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ni ibilisi au Shetani, na kumfunga miaka elfu.
3 And cast him into the bottomles pit, and he shut him vp, and sealed the doore vpon him, that he should deceiue the people no more, till the thousand yeeres were fulfilled: for after that he must be loosed for a litle season. (Abyssos g12)
Alimtupa kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho, akalifunga na kulitia mhuri juu yake. Hii ilikuwa hivyo ili kwamba asiwadanganye mataifa tena mpaka miaka elfu itakapoisha. Baada ya hapo, ataachiwa huru kwa muda mchache. (Abyssos g12)
4 And I sawe seates: and they sate vpon them, and iudgement was giuen vnto them, and I saw the soules of them that were beheaded for the witnes of Iesus, and for the word of God, and which did not worship the beast, neither his image, neither had taken his marke vpon their foreheads, or on their handes: and they liued, and reigned with Christ a thousand yeere.
Kisha niliona viti vya enzi. Waliokuwa wamevikalia ni wale ambao walikuwa wamepewa mamlaka ya kuhukumu. Vilevile niliona nafsi za wale ambao walikuwa wamekatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda kuhusu Yesu na kwa neno la Mungu. Walikuwa hawajamwabudu mnyama au sanamu yake, na walikataa kupokea alama juu ya paji za nyuso zao au mkono. Walikuja uzimani, na wakatawala pamoja na Kristo kwa miaka elfu.
5 But the rest of the dead men shall not liue againe, vntill the thousand yeres be finished: this is the first resurrection.
Wafu waliobaki hawakuja uzimani mpaka miaka elfu ilipokuwa imeisha. Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
6 Blessed and holy is hee, that hath part in the first resurrection: for on such the second death hath no power: but they shalbe the Priests of God and of Christ, and shall reigne with him a thousand yeere.
Mbarikiwa na mtakatifu ni mtu yeyote ambaye achukua nafasi katika ufufuo wa kwanza! Mauti ya pili haina nguvu juu ya watu kama hawa. Patakuwa na makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo na watatawala na yeye kwa miaka elfu.
7 And when the thousand yeres are expired, Satan shalbe loosed out of his prison,
Wakati miaka elfu itakapofikia mwisho, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka gerezani mwake.
8 And shall go out to deceiue the people, which are in the foure quarters of the earth: euen Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battell, whose number is, as the sand of the sea.
Atakwenda nje kuwadanganya mataifa katika kona nne za dunia -Gogu na Magogu - kuwaleta pamoja kwa ajili ya vita. Watakuwa wengi kama mchanga wa bahari.
9 And they went vp into the plaine of the earth, and they compassed the tents of the Saints about, and the beloued citie: but fire came downe from God out of heauen, and deuoured them.
Walikwenda juu kwenye tambarare ya nchi nao walizunguka kambi ya waumini, mji upendwao. Lakini moto ulikuja kutoka mbinguni na kuwaangamiza.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and one that sate on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heauen, and their place was no more found.
Kisha niliona kiti cha enzi kikubwa cheupe na yule ambaye alikaa juu yake. Dunia na mbingu zilikimbia mbali kutoka katika uwepo wake, lakini hapakuwako nafasi ya wao kwenda.
12 And I saw the dead, both great and small stand before God: and the bookes were opened, and another booke was opened, which is the booke of life, and the dead were iudged of those thinges, which were written in the bookes, according to their woorkes.
Niliwaona waliokufa - hodari na wasio wa muhimu wamesimama katika kiti cha enzi, na vitabu vilifunuliwa. Kisha kitabu kingine kilifunguliwa - Kitabu cha Uzima. Wafu walihukumiwa kwa kile kilichoandikwa ndani ya vitabu, matokeo ya kile walichokifanya.
13 And the sea gaue vp her dead, which were in her, and death and hell deliuered vp the dead, which were in them: and they were iudged euery man according to their woorkes. (Hadēs g86)
Bahari iliwatoa wafu ambao walikuwa ndani yake. Kifo na kuzimu viliwatoa wafu ambao walikuwa ndani yake, na wafu walihukumiwa kulingana na walichofanya. (Hadēs g86)
