Revelation 14
1 Then, in my vision, I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion. With him were a hundred and forty-four thousand, with his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
Kenaka ndinaona patsogolo panga panali Mwana Wankhosa, atayimirira pa Phiri la Ziyoni, ndipo Iye anali pamodzi ndi anthu 144,000 amene pa mphumi pawo panalembedwa dzina la Mwana Wankhosayo ndi la Atate ake.
2 And I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a loud peal of thunder; the sound that I heard was like the music of harpers playing on their harps.
Ndipo ndinamva liwu lochokera kumwamba ngati mkokomo wa madzi ambiri, ndiponso ngati kugunda kwamphamvu kwa bingu. Liwu limene ndinamvalo linali ngati a anthu akuyimba azeze awo.
3 They are singing what seems to be a new song, before the throne, and before the four creatures and the elders; and no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from earth.
Anthuwo ankayimba nyimbo yatsopano patsogolo pa mpando waufumu ndi zamoyo zinayi zija ndi akuluakulu aja. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatha kuphunzira nyimboyo kupatula anthu 144,000 aja amene anawomboledwa pa dziko lapansi.
4 These are the men who never defiled themselves in their intercourse with women; they are as pure as virgins. These are the men who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed as the first-fruits of mankind for God and for the Lamb.
Awa ndiwo amene sanadzidetse koma anadzisunga ndipo sanadziyipitse ndi akazi. Anthu amenewa ndiwo ankatsatira Mwana Wankhosa kulikonse kumene ankapita. Ndiwo amene anagulidwa pakati pa anthu a dziko lapansi kuti akhale oyambirira kuperekedwa kwa Mulungu ndi kwa Mwana Wankhosa.
5 No lie was ever heard on their lips. They are beyond reach of blame.
Iwo sananenepo bodza ndipo alibe cholakwa.
6 Then I saw another angel, flying in mid-heaven. He had the good news, decreed from eternity, to announce to those who live on the earth – to men of every nation, and tribe, and language, and people; (aiōnios g166)
Kenaka ndinaona mngelo wina akuwuluka mu mlengalenga ndipo anali ndi Uthenga Wabwino wamuyaya woti akalalikire kwa anthu okhala pa dziko lapansi, kwa a mtundu uliwonse, a fuko lililonse, a chiyankhulo chilichonse ndi kwa anthu onse. (aiōnios g166)
7 and he cried in a loud voice – “Reverence God, and give him praise (for the hour of his judgment has come) and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all springs of water.”
Mngeloyo anayankhula mokweza mawu kuti, “Wopani Mulungu ndi kumutamanda, chifukwa nthawi yoweruza anthu yafika. Mumupembedze Iye amene analenga thambo, dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi akasupe amadzi.”
8 Then a second angel followed, crying – “She has fallen! She has fallen – Babylon the Great, who has made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her licentiousness!”
Mngelo wachiwiri anatsatana naye ndipo anati, “Wagwa! Wagwa Babuloni womveka uja, amene anachititsa anthu a mitundu yonse kumwa vinyo wa zilakolako zake zachigololo.”
9 Then a third angel followed them, crying in a loud voice – “Whoever worships the Beast and its image, and receives its brand on his forehead or on his hand,
Mngelo wachitatu anatsatana nawo ndi mawu ofuwula anati, “Ngati wina apembedza chirombo chija ndi fano lake ndi kulembedwa chizindikiro pa mphumi kapena pa dzanja,
10 that person will drink the maddening wine of God that has been poured unmixed into the cup of his wrath, and they will be tortured with fire and sulphur before the eyes of the holy angels and before the eyes of the Lamb.
nayenso adzamwa vinyo waukali wa Mulungu, umene wathiridwa popanda kuchepetsa mphamvu zake mʼchikho cha ukali wa Mulungu. Munthuyo adzazunzidwa ndi moto wamiyala yasulufure pamaso pa angelo oyera ndi pa Mwana Wankhosa.
11 The smoke from their torture rises for ever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night – those who worship the Beast and its image, and all who are branded with its name.” (aiōn g165)
Ndipo utsi wa moto wowazunzawo udzakwera kumwamba mpaka muyaya. Sikudzakhala kupumula usana ndi usiku kwa amene anapembedza chirombo chija ndi fano lake kapena kwa aliyense amene analembedwa chizindikiro cha dzina lake lija.” (aiōn g165)
12 (Here there is need for endurance on the part of Christ’s people – those who lay to heart the commands of God and the faith of Jesus.)
Pamenepa ndi pofunika kupirira kwa anthu oyera mtima amene amasunga malamulo a Mulungu ndi kukhalabe okhulupirika kwa Yesu.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who from this hour die in union with the Lord.’” ‘Yes,’ answers the Spirit, ‘that they may rest from their toil. Their good deeds go with them.’
Kenaka ndinamva mawu kuchokera kumwamba akuti, “Lemba kuti, Odala anthu amene akufa ali mwa Ambuye kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo.” “Inde,” akutero Mzimu, “akapumule ntchito zawo zotopetsa pakuti ntchito zawo zidzawatsata.”
14 Then, in my vision, I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud there was sitting one like a man. On his head he had a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Ndinayangʼana patsogolo panga ndinaona mtambo woyera patakhalapo wina ngati Mwana wa Munthu, kumutu atavala chipewa chaufumu chagolide ndipo mʼdzanja mwake munali chikwakwa chakunthwa.
15 Then another angel came out from the Temple, crying in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud – “Take your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come; the Harvest of Earth is ready.”
Tsono mngelo wina anatuluka mʼNyumba ya Mulungu nafuwula mwamphamvu kwa uja wokhala pa mtamboyu. Mngeloyo anati, “Tenga chikwakwa chako ndipo kolola, pakuti nthawi yokolola ya dziko la pansi yakwana”
16 He who was sitting on the cloud brought his sickle down on the earth, and the Harvest of Earth was reaped.
Choncho wokhala pa mtambo uja anayamba kukolola dzinthu pa dziko lapansi ndi chikwakwa chakecho.
17 Then another angel came out of the Temple in heaven; he, also, had a sharp sickle.
Mngelo wina anatuluka mʼNyumba ya Mulungu kumwamba ndipo nayenso anali ndi chikwakwa chakunthwa.
18 Then another angel came out of the altar; he had power over fire, and he called in a loud voice to the angel that had the sharp sickle – “Take your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the vine of Earth, for its grapes are ripe.”
Kenaka mngelo winanso amene amalamulira moto, anatuluka kuchokera ku guwa lansembe nayitana mwamphamvu mngelo uja amene anali ndi chikwakwa chakunthwa chija, nati, “Tenga chikwakwa chako chakunthwacho yamba kudula mphesa za mʼmunda wamphesa wa pa dziko lapansi, pakuti mphesa zapsa kale.”
19 The angel brought his sickle down on the earth and gathered the fruit of the vine of Earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Pamenepo mngeloyo anayambadi kugwiritsa ntchito chikwakwa chake nadula mphesa za dziko lapansi, naziponya mʼchopondera mphesa chachikulu cha ukali woopsa wa Mulungu.
20 The grapes were trodden in the press outside the city; and blood came out of the press, rising as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of two hundred miles.
Mphesazo zinapondedwa mʼchopondera mphesa kunja kwa mzinda. Mʼchopondera mphesamo munatuluka magazi amene anayenderera ngati mtsinje, kuzama kwake mita ndi theka ndipo kutalika kwake makilomita 300.
