< Revelation 11 >
1 And there was given to me a reed like a measuring rod, saying, Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship at it;
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 and the outer court of the temple throw out, and measure it not; for it shall be given to the Gentiles, and they shall trample upon the holy city forty-two 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 to my two witnesses commission, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and 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 lamps, which 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 one will injure them, fire shall come out of their mouth, and devour their enemies: and if any one will injure them, so must he be put to death.
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, so that no rain shall be showered down in the days of their prophecy; they have power over the waters, to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will, with every plague.
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 savage beast which ascends out of the abyss, shall make war against them, and shall conquer 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 corpses shall lie in the street of the great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt; where also our Lord 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 persons of various people, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, shall look on their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not permit their corpses to be laid in the graves.
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 who dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and be glad, and shall send gifts to each other; because these two prophets tormented those who 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 breath of life from God, entered into them, and they stood upon their feet: and great fear fell on those who looked upon 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 saying to them, from heaven, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies looked on them.
Ningĩ makĩigua mũgambo mũnene uumĩte igũrũ ũkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ambatai na gũkũ.” Nao makĩambata igũrũ marĩ itu-inĩ, thũ ciao imeroreire.
13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake; and a tenth part of the city fell, and seven thousand titles of men were destroyed by the earthquake; and the rest were terrified, 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 comes quickly.
Haaro ya keerĩ nĩyathira, haaro ya gatatũ-rĩ, ĩgũũka o narua.
15 And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (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 twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshiped God,
Nao athuuri arĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana, arĩa maaikarĩire itĩ ciao cia ũnene mbere ya Ngai, magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ makĩhooya Ngai,
17 saying, We give thanks to thee, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, because thou hast taken by great power, and hast commenced thy reign.
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 wroth; and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead when they should be judged, and a reward should be given to thy servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, small and great; and when thou shouldst destroy those that destroy 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 covenants appeared in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, 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.
