Revelation 19
1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah. Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God:
Baada ya hayo nikasikia kitu kama sauti kubwa ya umati wa watu wengi mbinguni ikisema, “Haleluya! Ukombozi, utukufu na nguvu ni mali yake Mungu wetu!
2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand."
Maana hukumu yake ni ya kweli na ya haki. Amemhukumu yule mzinzi mkuu ambaye alikuwa ameipotosha dunia kwa uzinzi wake. Amemwadhibu kwa sababu ya kumwaga damu ya watumishi wake!”
Wakasema, “Asifiwe Mungu! Moshi wa moto unaoteketeza mji huo utapanda juu milele na milele!” (aiōn g165)
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah."
Na wale wazee ishirini na wanne, na vile viumbe hai vinne, wakajitupa chini, wakamwabudu Mungu aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi wakisema, “Amina! Asifiwe Mungu!”
5 A voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great."
Kisha kukatokea sauti kwenye kiti cha enzi: “Msifuni Mungu enyi watumishi wake wote, nyote mnaomcha, wadogo kwa wakubwa.”
6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, "Hallelujah. For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
Kisha nikasikia kitu kama sauti ya umati mkubwa wa watu na sauti ya maji mengi na ya ngurumo kubwa, ikisema, “Haleluya! Maana Bwana Mungu wetu Mwenye Uwezo ni Mfalme!
7 Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready."
Tufurahi na kushangilia; tumtukuze, kwani wakati wa arusi ya Mwanakondoo umefika, na bibi arusi yuko tayari.
8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Amepewa uwezo wa kujivalia nguo ya kitani safi, iliyotakata na yenye kung'aa!” (Nguo hiyo ya kitani safi ni matendo mema ya watu wa Mungu.)
9 He said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" He said to me, "These are true words of God."
Kisha malaika akaniambia, “Andika haya: Heri wale walioalikwa kwenye karamu ya arusi ya Mwanakondoo!” Tena akaniambia, “Hayo ni maneno ya kweli ya Mungu.”
10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, "Look. Do not do it. I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy."
Basi, mimi nikaanguka kifudifudi mbele ya miguu yake nikataka kumwabudu. Lakini yeye akaniambia, “Acha! Mimi ni mtumishi tu kama wewe na ndugu zako; sote tunauzingatia ukweli ule alioufunua Yesu. Mwabudu Mungu! Maana ukweli alioufunua Yesu ndio unaowaangazia manabii.”
11 I saw the heaven opened, and suddenly there was a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
Kisha nikaona mbingu zimefunguliwa; na huko alikuwako farasi mmoja mweupe, na mpanda farasi wake aliitwa “Mwaminifu” na “Kweli”. Huyo huhukumu na kupigana kwa ajili ya haki.
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He had a name written which no one knows but he himself.
Macho yake ni kama mwali wa moto, na alikuwa amevaa taji nyingi kichwani. Alikuwa ameandikwa jina ambalo hakuna mtu alijuaye isipokuwa tu yeye mwenyewe.
13 He is clothed in a garment dipped in blood. His name is called "The Word of God."
Alikuwa amevaa vazi lililokuwa limelowekwa katika damu. Na jina lake huyo ni “Neno la Mungu.”
14 The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.
Majeshi ya mbinguni yalimfuata yakiwa yamepanda farasi weupe na walikuwa wamevaa mavazi ya kitani, meupe na safi.
15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
Upanga mkali hutoka kinywani mwake, na kwa upanga huo atawashinda mataifa. Yeye ndiye atakayetawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuikamua divai katika chombo cha kukamulia zabibu za ghadhabu kuu ya Mungu Mwenye Uwezo.
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings, and Lord of lords."
Juu ya vazi lake, na juu ya mguu wake, alikuwa ameandikwa jina: “Mfalme wa wafalme na Bwana wa mabwana.”
17 I saw an angel standing in the sun. He shouted with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, "Come. Be gathered together to the great supper of God,
Kisha nikamwona malaika mmoja amesimama katika jua. Akapaaza sauti na kuwaambia ndege wote waliokuwa wanaruka juu angani, “Njoni! Kusanyikeni pamoja kwa karamu kuu ya Mungu.
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty people, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, and small and great."
Njoni mkaitafune miili ya wafalme, ya majemadari, ya watu wenye nguvu, ya farasi na wapanda farasi wao; njoni mkaitafune miili ya watu wote: walio huru na watumwa, wadogo na wakubwa.”
19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.
Kisha nikaona yule mnyama pamoja na mfalme wa dunia na askari wao wamekusanyika pamoja kusudi wapigane na yule aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya farasi, pamoja na jeshi lake.
20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Lakini huyo mnyama akachukuliwa mateka, pamoja na nabii wa uongo aliyekuwa akifanya miujiza mbele yake. (Kwa miujiza hiyo, alikuwa amewapotosha wale waliokuwa na chapa ya huyo mnyama, na ambao walikuwa wameiabudu sanamu yake.) Huyo mnyama pamoja na huyo nabii walitupwa wote wawili, wakiwa wazimawazima, ndani ya ziwa linalowaka moto wa kiberiti. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.
Majeshi yao yaliuawa kwa upanga uliotoka kinywani mwa yule anayepanda farasi. Ndege wote wakajishibisha kwa nyama zao.
