Revelation 16
1 And I heard aloud voice, out of the sanctuary, saying unto the seven messengers—Go, and be pouring out the seven bowls of the wrath of God unto the earth.
Nikasikia sauti kubwa ikiita kutoka kwenye sehemu ya patakatifu na ikasema kwa wale malaika saba, “Nenda na ukamwage juu ya dunia mabakuli saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu.”
2 And the first departed, and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came to be a baneful and painful ulcer, upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and them who were doing homage unto his image.
Malaika wa kwanza alienda na kumwaga bakuli lake katika dunia; majeraha mabaya na yenye maumivu makali yalikuja kwa watu wenye alama ya mnyama, kwa wale ambao waliabudu sanamu yake.
3 And, the second, poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man, and, every living soul, died—as regardeth the things in the sea.
Malaika wa pili alimwaga bakuli lake katika bahari; ikawa kama damu ya mtu aliyekufa, na kila kiumbe hai katika bahari kilikufa.
4 And, the third, poured out his bowl into the rivers, and the fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Malaika wa tatu akamwaga bakuli lake katika mito na katika chemichemi za maji; zikawa damu.
5 And I heard the messenger of the waters, saying—Righteous, art thou Who art, and Who wast, Who art full of lovingkindness, —in that, these things, thou hast adjudged;
Nikasikia malaika wa maji akisema, “Wewe ni mwaminifu - mmoja uliyepo na uliyekuwako, Mtakatifu - kwa sababu umezileta hukumu hizi.
6 Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are!
Kwa sababu walimwaga damu za waamini na manabii, umewapa wao kunywa damu; ndicho wanachostahili.”
7 And I heard the altar, saying—Yea! Lord, God, the Almighty: True and righteous, are thy judgments!
Nikasikia madhabahu ikijibu, “Ndiyo! Bwana Mungu mwenye kutawala juu ya vyote, hukumu zako ni kweli na za haki.”
8 And, the fourth, poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it, to scorch mankind with fire;
Malaika wa nne akamwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake juu ya jua, na likapewa ruhusa kuunguza watu kwa moto.
9 and mankind were scorched with a great scorching heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who had authority over these plagues, and repented not to give him glory.
Waliunguzwa kwa joto lenye kutisha, na wakalikufuru neno la Mungu, mwenye nguvu juu ya mapigo yote. Hawakutubu wala kumpa yeye utukufu.
10 And, the fifth, poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and they began to gnaw their tongues by reason of the pain, —
Malaika wa tano akamwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake katika kiti cha enzi cha mnyama, na giza likaufunika ufalme wake. Walisaga meno katika maumivu makali.
11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven, by reason of their pain, and by reason of their ulcers, and repented not of their works.
Wakamtukana Mungu wa mbinguni kwa sababu ya maumivu yao na majeraha yao, na bado waliendelea kutokutubu kwa kile walichotenda.
12 And, the sixth, poured out his bowl upon the great river: [the] Euphrates; and the water thereof, was dried up, that the way might be prepared, of the kings who were from the rising of the sun.
Malaika wa sita alimwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake katika mto mkubwa, Frati, na maji yake yakakauka ili kuweza kuandaa njia kwa wafalme watakaokuja kutoka mashariki.
13 And I saw, out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false-prophet, three impure spirits, as frogs;
Nikaona roho tatu chafu zilizoonekana kama chura watokao nje ya mdomo wa yule joka, yule mnyama, na yule nabii wa uongo.
14 for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which are to go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable earth, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.—
Ni roho za pepo zitendazo ishara na miujiza. Walikuwa wakienda kwa wafalme wa dunia yote ili kuweza kuwakusanya pamoja kwa vita katika siku kuu ya Mungu, mwenye kutawala juu ya vyote.
15 Lo! I come as a thief! Happy, he that is watching, and keeping his garments, lest, naked, he be walking, and they see his shame.—
(“Tazama! Ninakuja kama mwizi! Heri yule adumuye katika kukesha, atunzaye mavazi yake ili asiweze kwenda nje uchi na kuiona aibu yake.”)
16 And he gathered them together unto the place that is called, in Hebrew, Har Magedon.
Waliwaleta pamoja katika sehemu iliyoitwa katika kiebrania Amagedoni.
17 And, the seventh, poured out his bowl upon the air.—And there came forth a loud voice out of the sanctuary, from the throne, saying—Accomplished!
Malaika wa saba alimwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake katika anga. Kisha sauti kuu ikasikika kutoka pakatifu na kutoka kwenye kiti cha enzi, ikisema, “Imekwisha!”
18 And there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and, a great earthquake, took place, —such as had never taken place since men came to be on the earth, —such a mighty earthquake, so great;
Kulikuwa na miale ya mwanga wa radi, ngurumo, vishindo vya radi, na tetemeko la kutisha - tetemeko kubwa la ardhi ambalo halijawahi kutokea duniani tangu wanadamu wamekuwepo duniani, hivyo ni tetemeko kubwa zaidi.
19 and the great city became [divided] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and, Babylon the Great, was brought into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger;
Mji mkuu uligawanyika katika sehemu tatu, na miji ya mataifa ikaanguka. Kisha Mungu akamkumbusha Babeli mkuu, na akaupa mji huo kikombe kilichokuwa kimejaa divai kutoka kwenye ghadhabu yake iliyo kali.
20 and, every island, fled, and, mountains, were not found.
Kila kisiwa kikapotea na milima haikuonekana tena.
21 And, great hail, as talents, cometh down out of heaven upon mankind; and men blasphemed God, by reason of the plague of hail, —because the plague thereof was, exceeding great.
Mvua kubwa ya mawe, ikiwa na uzito wa talanta, ikashuka kutoka mbinguni juu ya watu, na wakamlaani Mungu kwa mapigo ya mvua ya mawe kwa sababu lile pigo lilikuwa baya sana.
