Revelation 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
Kisha nikaona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa ameshika ufunguo wa lile Shimo na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. (Abyssos g12)
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Akalishika lile joka, yule nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ndiye ibilisi au Shetani, naye akamfunga kwa muda wa miaka 1,000.
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. (Abyssos g12)
Akamtupa katika lile Shimo, akamfunga humo na kulitia lakiri, ili kumzuia asiendelee kudanganya mataifa mpaka hiyo miaka 1,000 itimie. Baada ya hayo lazima afunguliwe kwa muda mfupi. (Abyssos g12)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua, and for the word of YHWH, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.
Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi vilivyokuwa vimekaliwa na hao waliopewa mamlaka ya kuhukumu, na nikaona roho za wale waliokatwa vichwa kwa sababu ya ushuhuda wa Yesu na kwa sababu ya neno la Mungu. Hawakuwa wamemsujudu huyo mnyama wala sanamu yake wala hawakupokea ile chapa yake kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao au kwenye mikono yao. Wakawa hai na kutawala pamoja na Kristo miaka 1,000.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
(Wafu waliosalia hawakufufuka mpaka ilipotimia hiyo miaka 1,000.) Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of YHWH and of Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Waliobarikiwa na walio watakatifu ni wale walio na sehemu katika ufufuo wa kwanza. Hao mauti ya pili haina nguvu juu yao, bali watakuwa makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo, nao watatawala pamoja naye kwa muda wa miaka 1,000.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Hiyo miaka 1,000 itakapotimia, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka kifungoni mwake,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
naye atatoka ili kuyadanganya mataifa yaliyopo katika pembe nne za dunia, yaani, Gogu na Magogu apate kuwakusanya tayari kwa vita. Idadi yao ni kama mchanga ulioko pwani.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from YHWH out of heaven, and devoured them.
Nao walitembea katika eneo lote la dunia, wakaizunguka kambi ya watakatifu na ule mji unaopendwa. Lakini moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni na kuwateketeza.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Kisha nikaona kiti kikubwa cheupe cha enzi pamoja na yeye aliyeketi juu yake. Dunia na mbingu zikaukimbia uso wake wala mahali pao hapakuonekana.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before YHWH; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Nami nikawaona wafu wakubwa na wadogo, wakiwa wamesimama mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi na vitabu vikafunguliwa. Pia kitabu kingine kikafunguliwa ambacho ni kitabu cha uzima. Hao wafu wakahukumiwa sawasawa na matendo yao kama yalivyoandikwa ndani ya hivyo vitabu.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (Hadēs g86)
Bahari ikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake, nayo mauti na Kuzimu zikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake. Kila mtu akahukumiwa kulingana na yale aliyoyatenda. (Hadēs g86)
