Revelation 7
1 And after this, I saw four angels standing on the four quarters of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
Baada ya hili nikaona malaika wanne wakiwa wamesimama katika pembe nne za dunia, wakizuia hizo pepo nne za dunia, ili kwamba pasiwe na upepo utakaovuma juu ya nchi au juu ya bahari au juu ya mti wowote.
2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He called out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
Nikaona malaika mwingine akipanda kutoka mawio ya jua akiwa na muhuri wa Mungu aliye hai. Akawaita kwa sauti kubwa wale malaika wanne waliokuwa wamepewa mamlaka ya kuidhuru nchi na bahari, akisema,
3 saying, "Do not harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."
“Msiidhuru nchi wala bahari, wala miti, hadi tuwe tumetia muhuri kwenye vipaji vya nyuso za watumishi wa Mungu wetu.”
4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
Ndipo nikasikia idadi ya wale waliotiwa muhuri: yaani 144,000 kutoka makabila yote ya Israeli.
5 of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
Kutoka kabila la Yuda 12,000 walitiwa muhuri, kutoka kabila la Reubeni 12,000, kutoka kabila la Gadi 12,000,
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
kutoka kabila la Asheri 12,000, kutoka kabila la Naftali 12,000, kutoka kabila la Manase 12,000,
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
kutoka kabila la Simeoni 12,000, kutoka kabila la Lawi 12,000, kutoka kabila la Isakari 12,000,
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
kutoka kabila la Zabuloni 12,000, kutoka kabila la Yosefu 12,000, na kutoka kabila la Benyamini 12,000.
9 After these things I looked, and suddenly there was a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
Baada ya hili nikatazama na hapo mbele yangu palikuwa na umati mkubwa wa watu ambao hakuna yeyote awezaye kuuhesabu, kutoka kila taifa, kila kabila, kila jamaa na kila lugha, wamesimama mbele ya kile kiti cha enzi na mbele ya Mwana-Kondoo. Walikuwa wamevaa mavazi meupe na wakiwa wameshika matawi ya mitende mikononi mwao.
10 They shouted with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
Nao walikuwa wakipiga kelele kwa sauti kubwa wakisema: “Wokovu una Mungu wetu, yeye aketiye kwenye kiti cha enzi, na Mwana-Kondoo!”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne, and worshiped God,
Malaika wote walikuwa wamesimama kukizunguka kile kiti cha enzi na wale wazee ishirini na wanne na wale viumbe wanne wenye uhai. Wakaanguka kifudifudi mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi na kumwabudu Mungu,
12 saying, "Amen. Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen." (aiōn g165)
wakisema: “Amen! Sifa na utukufu na hekima na shukrani na heshima na uweza na nguvu viwe kwa Mungu wetu milele na milele. Amen!” (aiōn g165)
13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?"
Kisha mmoja wa wale wazee ishirini na wanne akaniuliza, “Ni nani hawa waliovaa mavazi meupe, nao wametoka wapi?”
14 So I said to him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.
Nikamjibu, “Bwana, wewe wajua.” Naye akasema, “Hawa ni wale waliotoka katika ile dhiki kuu, nao wamefua mavazi yao katika damu ya Mwana-Kondoo na kuyafanya meupe kabisa.
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
Kwa hiyo, “Wako mbele ya kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na kumtumikia usiku na mchana katika hekalu lake; naye aketiye katika kile kiti cha enzi atatanda hema yake juu yao.
16 They will hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;
Kamwe hawataona njaa wala kiu tena. Jua halitawapiga wala joto lolote liunguzalo.
17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Kwa maana Mwana-Kondoo aliyeko katikati ya kile kiti cha enzi atakuwa Mchungaji wao; naye atawaongoza kwenda kwenye chemchemi za maji yaliyo hai. Naye Mungu atafuta kila chozi kutoka macho yao.”
