< Revelation 15 >
1 And I beheld another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels with the seven last plagues; because with them the wrath of God is finished.
Kisha nikaona ishara nyingine mbinguni, kubwa na ya kushangaza. Palikuwa hapo malaika saba wenye mabaa makubwa saba ya mwisho. Kwa mabaa hayo makubwa saba, ghadhabu ya Mungu imekamilishwa.
2 And I saw the semblance of a glassy sea, mingled with fire; and standing by this glassy sea, with harps of God, were those who came off conquerors from the beast and from his image and from the cipher of his name.
Kisha nikaona kitu kama bahari ya kioo, imechanganywa na moto. Nikawaona pia wale watu waliomshinda yule mnyama na sanamu yake na ambaye jina lake lilitajwa kwa ile tarakimu. Watu hao walikuwa wamesimama kando ya hiyo bahari ya kioo, wakiwa na vinubi walivyopewa na Mungu.
3 They were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying. "Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are thy ways, Thou King of kings!
Walikuwa wakiimba wimbo wa Mose, mtumishi wa Mungu, na wimbo wa Mwanakondoo: “Bwana Mungu Mwenye Uwezo, matendo yako ni makuu mno! Ewe Mfalme wa mataifa, njia zako ni za haki na za kweli!
4 Who shall not fear, O Lord, And glorify thy name? For thou only art holy. For all the nations shall come and worship before thee; For thy righteous acts have been made evident."
Bwana, ni nani asiyekucha wewe? Nani asiyelitukuza jina lako? Wewe peke yako ni Mtakatifu. Mataifa yote yatakujia na kukuabudu maana matendo yako ya haki yameonekana na wote.”
5 After that I looked, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of testimony was opened in heaven;
Baada ya hayo nikaona Hekalu limefunguliwa mbinguni, na ndani yake hema ionyeshayo kuwapo kwa Mungu.
6 and there came out of the sanctuary the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were clothed in white linen, pure and bright, and girt about the breasts with golden girdles.
Basi, wale malaika saba wenye mabaa saba wakatoka humo Hekaluni, wakiwa wamevaa nguo za kitani safi zenye kung'aa, na kanda za dhahabu vifuani mwao.
7 And one of the four Living Creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. (aiōn )
Kisha, mmojawapo wa vile viumbe vinne akawapa hao malaika saba mabakuli ya dhahabu yaliyojaa ghadhabu ya Mungu, aishiye milele na milele. (aiōn )
8 The sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory and majesty of God; and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
Hekalu likajaa moshi uliosababishwa na utukufu na nguvu ya Mungu, na hakuna mtu aliyeweza kuingia Hekaluni mpaka mwisho wa mabaa makubwa saba ya wale malaika saba.
