Revelation 11
1 A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise and measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
Nilipewa mwanzi wa kutumia kama fimbo ya kupimia. Niliambiwa, “Ondoka na ukapime hekalu la Mungu na madhabahu, na wale wanaoabudu ndani yake.
2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
Lakini usipime eneo la ua wa nje ya hekalu, kwa kuwa wamepewa watu wa Mataifa. Wataukanyaga mji mtakatifu kwa muda wa miezi arobaini na miwili.
3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
Nitawapa mashahidi wangu wawili mamlaka ya kutabiri kwa muda wa siku 1, 260, wakiwa wamevaa magunia.”
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
Hawa mashahidi ni miti miwili ya mizeituni na vinara viwili ambavyo vimesimama mbele ya Bwana wa dunia.
5 If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
Kama mtu yeyote ataamua kuwadhuru, moto hutoka vinywani mwao na kuwadhuru adui zao. Yeyote anayetaka kuwadhuru lazima auawe kwa njia hii.
6 These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
Hawa mashahidi wana uwezo wa kufunga anga ili kwamba mvua isinyeshe wakati wanatabiri. Wana nguvu ya kubadili maji kuwa damu na kuipiga nchi kwa kila aina ya pigo wakati wowote wakitaka.
7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Wakati watakapokuwa wamemaliza ushuhuda wao, yule mnyama anayetoka kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho atafanya vita dhidi yao. Atawashinda na kuwaua. (Abyssos g12)
8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
Miili yao italala katika mtaa wa mji mkuu (ambao kimfano unaitwa Sodoma na Misri) ambapo Bwana wao alisulubiwa.
9 From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be placed in a tomb.
Kwa siku tatu na nusu baadhi kutoka katika jamaa za watu, kabila, lugha na kila taifa watatazama miili yao na hawatatoa kibali kuwekwa katika kaburi.
10 Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
Wale wanaoishi katika nchi watafurahi kwa ajili yao na kushangilia, hata kutumiana zawadi kwa sababu hao manabii wawili waliwatesa wale walioishi katika nchi.
11 After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.
Lakini baada ya siku tatu na nusu pumzi ya uhai kutoka kwa Mungu itawaingia nao watasimama kwa miguu yao. Hofu kuu itawaangukia wale wanaowaona.
12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.
Kisha watasikia sauti kuu kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, “Njoni huku!” Nao watakwenda juu mbinguni katika wingu, wakati adui zao wakitazama.
13 In that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Katika saa hiyo kutakuwepo na tetemeko kuu la ardhi na moja ya kumi ya mji itaanguka. Watu elfu saba watauawa katika tetemeko na watakaobaki hai wataogopeshwa na kumpa utukufu Mungu wa mbinguni.
14 The second woe is past. Look, the third woe comes quickly.
Ole ya pili imepita. Angalia! Ole ya tatu inakuja upesi.
15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever." (aiōn g165)
Kisha malaika wa saba alipiga tarumbeta yake, na sauti kubwa zilinena mbinguni na kusema, “Ufalme wa dunia umeshakuwa ufalme wa Bwana wetu na wa Kristo wake. Atatawala milele na milele.” (aiōn g165)
16 The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God's throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
Kisha wazee ishirini na wanne waliokuwa wameketi kwenye viti vya enzi mbele ya Mungu walianguka wenyewe chini kwenye ardhi, nyuso zao zimeinama chini, nao walimwabudu Mungu.
17 saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.
Walisema, “Twatoa shukrani zetu kwako, Bwana Mungu, mtawala juu ya vyote, ambaye upo na ambaye ulikuwepo, kwa sababu umetwaa nguvu yako kuu na kuanza kutawala.
18 The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."
Mataifa walikasirika, lakini gadhabu yako imekuja. Wakati umefika kwa wafu kuhukumiwa na wewe kuwazawadia watumishi wako manabii, waamini na wale walio na hofu ya jina lako, wote wawili wasiofaa kitu na wenye nguvu. Na wakati wako umefika wa kuwaharibu wale ambao wamekuwa wakiiharibu dunia.”
19 God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
Kisha hekalu la Mungu mbinguni lilifunuliwa na sanduku la agano lake lilionekana ndani ya hekalu lake. Kulikuwa na miali ya mwanga, kelele, ngurumo za radi, tetemeko la ardhi na mawe ya mvua.
