Revelation 10
1 [In the vision] I saw another mighty angel that was coming down out of heaven. A cloud [surrounded him]. There was a rainbow over his head. His face [shone] [SIM] like the sun. His legs looked like pillars of fire.
Zvino ndakaona umwe mutumwa ane simba achiburuka kubva kudenga, akapfekedzwa gore; nemurarabungu uri mumusoro make, uye chiso chake chakaita sezuva, netsoka dzake sembiru dzemoto;
2 He had in his hand a small scroll that was open. He set his right foot on the ocean and his left foot on the land.
uye wakange ane bhuku diki rakazaruka muruoko rwake; ndokuisa rutsoka rwake rwerudyi pamusoro pegungwa, nerweruboshwe pamusoro penyika;
3 He shouted something with a loud voice, a voice like the roar of a lion. When he shouted this, it thundered seven [times], speaking [words that I could understand].
zvino akadanidzira nenzwi guru seshumba inodzvova; wakatiwo adanidzira, kutinhira kunomwe kukareva manzwi ako.
4 When it thundered [like that], I was about to write [the words that I] heard, but a voice from heaven said to me, “Keep secret what the thunder said! Do not write it down!”
Zvino kutinhira kunomwe kwakati kwareva manzwi ako, ndakange ndododa kunyora; ndokunzwa inzwi kubva kudenga richiti kwandiri: Zarira nemucherechedzo kutinhira kunomwe zvakwareva, uye usanyora zvinhu izvi.
5 Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the ocean and the land raised his right hand toward heaven,
Zvino mutumwa wandakaona amire pamusoro pegungwa nepamusoro penyika wakasimudzira ruoko rwake kudenga,
6 and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn g165)
ndokupika naiye anorarama kusvikira rinhi narinhi, wakasika denga nezviri mariri, nenyika nezviri mairi, negungwa nezviri mariri, kuti nguva haichazovipo. (aiōn g165)
7 He said that when the time [came] for the seventh angel to blow his trumpet, [he] would complete what God had secretly planned, just like he announced [long ago] to his servants, the prophets.
Asi pamazuva enzwi remutumwa wechinomwe, kana woda kuridza, ipapo chakavanzika chaMwari chapedziswa, sezvaakaparidzira varanda vake vaporofita.
8 The one whose voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. He said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the ocean and on the land.”
Zvino inzwi randakanzwa kubva kudenga, rakataura kwandirizve, ndokuti: Enda, tora bhuku diki rakazaruka riri muruoko rwemutumwa amire pamusoro pegungwa nepamusoro penyika.
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. In your mouth it will [taste] sweet like honey, but it will make your stomach bitter.”
Zvino ndakaenda kumutumwa, ndichiti kwaari: Ndipe bhuku diki. Zvino akati kwandiri: Tora ugoridya uripedze; zvino richavavisa dumbu rako, asi mumuromo mako richatapira seuchi.
10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. In my mouth it [tasted] sweet like honey, but when I had eaten it, [it] made my stomach turn sour.
Zvino ndakatora bhuku diki kubva muruoko rwemutumwa, ndokuridya rikapera; ndokuva mumuromo mangu seuchi, kutapira; asi ndaridya, dumbu rangu rakavava.
11 The one whose [voice spoke from heaven said to me], “You must (prophesy again/proclaim again what I will reveal to you) about many people-[groups], many nations, [speakers of] many languages [MTY], and many kings.”
Zvino akati kwandiri: Iwe unofanira kuporofitazve pamberi pevanhu nendudzi nendimi nemadzimambo mazhinji.
