< Revelation 16 >
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven messengers, “Go away, and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God into the earth”;
Kenaka ndinamva mawu ofuwula kuchokera ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ija kuwuza angelo asanu ndi awiri kuti, “Pitani, katsanulireni pa dziko lapansi ukali wa Mulungu umene uli mʼmbale zisanu ndi ziwirizi!”
2 and the first went away, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and there came a sore—bad and grievous—to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image.
Mngelo woyamba anapita natsanula mbale yake pa dziko lapansi ndipo zilonda zoyipa ndi zowawa zinabuka pa anthu amene anali ndi chizindikiro cha chirombo chija, napembedza fano lake.
3 And the second messenger poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of [one] dead, and every living soul in the sea died.
Mngelo wachiwiri anapita natsanula mbale yake pa nyanja ndipo madzi ake anasanduka magazi, magazi ake ngati a munthu wakufa. Chamoyo chilichonse cha mʼnyanjamo chinafa.
4 And the third messenger poured out his bowl into the rivers, and into the fountains of the waters, and there came blood,
Mngelo wachitatu anapita natsanula mbale yake pa mitsinje ndi akasupe amadzi ndipo zinasanduka magazi.
5 and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, “Righteous, O LORD, are You, who is, and who was, [[and who will be, ]] the Holy [One], because You judged these things,
Kenaka ndinamva mngelo wolamulira madzi uja akuti, “Inu mwachita chilungamo, Inu Woyerayo, amene mulipo ndipo munalipo;
6 because they poured out [the] blood of holy ones and prophets, and You gave to them blood to drink, for they are worthy”;
pakuti iwo anakhetsa magazi a oyera anu ndi aneneri anu, nʼchifukwa chake mwawapatsa magazi kuti amwe, zomwe zikuwayenera.”
7 and I heard another out of the altar, saying, “Yes, LORD God, the Almighty, true and righteous [are] Your judgments.”
Kenaka ndinamva mawu ochokera ku guwa lansembe akuti, “Inde, Ambuye Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, chiweruzo chanu ndi choona ndi cholungama.”
8 And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire,
Mngelo wachinayi anapita natsanula mbale yake pa dzuwa ndipo dzuwa linapatsidwa mphamvu yopsereza anthu ndi moto.
9 and men were scorched with great heat, and they slandered the Name of God, who has authority over these plagues, and they did not convert—to give to Him glory.
Anapserera nako kutentha kwakukuluko ndipo anatukwana Mulungu, amene anali ndi ulamuliro pa miliri imeneyi, koma anakana kulapa ndi kumulemekeza.
10 And the fifth messenger poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain,
Mngelo wachisanu anapita natsanula mbale yake pa mpando waufumu wa chirombo chija ndipo mdima unagwa ponse pamene panali ufumu wake. Anthu analuma malilime awo chifukwa cha ululu.
11 and they slandered the God of Heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not convert from their works.
Ndipo anatukwana Mulungu wakumwamba chifukwa cha maululu awo ndi zilonda zawo koma anakana kulapa pa zimene anachita.
12 And the sixth messenger poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates, and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;
Mngelo wachisanu ndi chimodzi anapita natsanula mbale yake pa mtsinje waukulu wa Yufurate, ndipo madzi ake anaphwa kuti pakhale njira yodzera mafumu ochokera kummawa.
13 and I saw [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs—
Kenaka ndinaona mizimu yoyipa itatu imene inkaoneka ngati achule; inatuluka mʼkamwa mwa chinjoka chija, mʼkamwa mwa chirombo chija ndi mʼkamwa mwa mneneri wonyenga uja.
14 for they are spirits of demons, doing signs—which go forth to the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty.
Imeneyi ndiyo mizimu ya ziwanda imene imachita zizindikiro zodabwitsa ndipo imatuluka kupita kwa mafumu a dziko lonse, kukawasonkhanitsa ku nkhondo ya pa tsiku lalikulu la Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse.
15 (“Behold, I come as a thief; blessed [is] he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness.”)
“Taonani, ndikubwera ngati mbala! Wodala munthu amene ali maso, nasunga zovala zake, kuti asayende maliseche kuti angaonetse maliseche ake.”
16 And they brought them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.
Kenaka mizimu ija inasonkhanitsa pamodzi mafumu ku malo amene mʼChihebri amatchedwa Armagedo.
17 And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl on the air, and there came forth a great voice from the temple of Heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Mngelo wachisanu ndi chiwiri anatsanulira mbale yake mu mlengalenga ndipo ku Nyumba ya Mulungu kunamveka mawu ofuwula kuchokera ku mpando waufumu kuti, “Kwatha!”
18 And there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as has not come since men came on the earth, so mighty an earthquake—so great!
Kenaka kunachitika mphenzi, phokoso, mabingu ndi chivomerezi choopsa. Chivomerezi ngati ichi sichinachitikepo chikhalire cha munthu pa dziko lapansi. Chinali chivomerezi choopsa kwambiri.
19 And it came—the great city—into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger,
Mzinda waukuluwo unagawika magawo atatu ndipo mizinda ya mitundu ya anthu inagwa. Mulungu anakumbukira Babuloni Wamkulu namupatsa chikho chake chodzaza ndi vinyo wa ukali wa mkwiyo wake.
20 and every island fled away, and mountains were not found,
Chilumba chilichonse chinathawa ndipo mapiri sanaonekenso.
21 and great hail (as of talent weight) comes down out of the sky on men, and men slandered God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.
Matalala akuluakulu olemera pafupifupi makilogalamu makumi asanu anagwa kuchokera kumwamba kugwera pa anthu. Ndipo anthu anatukwana Mulungu chifukwa cha mliri wa matalala popeza unali mliri woopsa kwambiri.
