Revelation 11
1 [An angel gave] to me a reed similar to a measuring stick. He said [to me], “[Christ says this: ‘Go] to the temple [where people worship] God, measure it and the altar [in it], and count the people who worship there.
Itete lyakapegwa ndime kuti ndibelesye mbulikasamu kakweelesya. Ndakabuzigwa, “Buka mpawo upime Ng'anda ya Leza achipayiililo, abaabo bakomba mumo.
2 But do not measure the courtyard outside [of the temple] [DOU], because [it] has been given {[God] has given it} to [the] non-Jewish [people. As a result], they will trample [Jerusalem city] for 42 months.
Pesi utapimi lukoono lwaanze lwa Ng'and ya Leza, mbukunga lwakapegwa kubamasi. Baloolyatawuka idolopolisalala kwamwezi makumi aane aabili.
3 I will appoint my two (witnesses/men who will tell others about me). They will proclaim what I reveal to them for 1,260 days. They will wear [rough] clothes made from goat’s hair [to show that they are sad about people’s sin].’”
Ndilakupa bakamboni bangu babili anguzu zyakusinsima ali chuulu amyaanda iibili amakumi musanu alimwi, kabasamide zisamo zyamasaka.”
4 Those [witnesses are the ones] that are represented by the two olive trees and the two lampstands that are in the presence of the Lord [who rules] the earth [SYM].
Bakamboni aaba misamu iibili yamawooliva azikkazikilo zibili zyamal; ampe zyakaliimvwi kunembo lyamwami wanyika.
5 If enemies try to harm those [witnesses], fire will come from the mouths of the witnesses and destroy them. If people want to harm them, [the two witnesses] will certainly kill them similarly.
Na umwi wasala kubanyonyoona, mulilo ulazwa mumilomo yabo akuli yabasinkondonyina. ooyo kubanyonyoona weelede kujayigwa munzila eeyi.
6 Those [witnesses] will have authority to keep rain from falling during the time that they are proclaiming what God reveals to them. They also will have authority to cause water [everywhere] to become [red like] [MET] blood, and [authority] to cause all kinds of plagues to occur. They will do this as often as they want to.
Bakamboni aaba balenguzu, zyakujala mulengalenga kuti kutabi mvula iwa kuchiindi chamazuba ngibasinsima. Balaanguzu zyakusandula maanzi kuba bulowa akuuma nyika amusyobo ulibuti wachisozi kufumbwa mpubayanfila.
7 When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Nibanooli bamanisya bukamboni bwabo, chinyama chizwa mumulindi utagoli chiyyobusya nkondo aatala ambabo. Uuyoobazunda akubajeya. (Abyssos g12)
8 The dead bodies of the [two] witnesses will lie in the street of the great city where their Lord was crucified, the city that is symbolically named Sodom or Egypt [because its people are very evil, like the people who lived in Sodom and Egypt].
Mibili yabo iyoowona mumugwagwa wadolopo pati (kachilikwiimikila Sodoma a Ijiputi) nkwakabambulwa Mwami wabo.
9 Individuals of many people-[groups], tribes, language [groups] [MTY], and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days. But these individuals will not allow [anyone] to bury their bodies.
Kumazuba aatatu achisela bamwi kubantu boonse, kumukowa woonse, kumyaambo yoonse, akuzisi zyoonse bayoolanga mibili yabo. tabakoyooyizumizya pe kuti ikabikwe muchuumbwe.
10 When the [rebellious] people who live on the earth [see that the witnesses are dead], they will rejoice and celebrate. They will send gifts to each other, because these two prophets had [caused plagues to occur which] tormented the [rebellious] people on the earth.
Aabo ba[pona munyika bayookondwa atala ambabo akupobola. Alimwi bayotumizya zipo kuli umwi awumwi ankaambo kabasinsimi babili bakapenzya aabo bakkede munyika.
11 But after three and a half days, God will cause those two witnesses to breathe again and live. They will stand up, and those who see them will be terrified.
Pesi kunembo kwamazuba aatatu achisela muuya wabuumi uzwa kuli Leza uyoobanjila, eelyo bayooyima amawulu aabo. Kuuyoowa kupati kuyoowida aabo bakabona.
12 The [two witnesses] will hear a loud voice which came from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” Then they will go up to heaven in a cloud. Their enemies will see them [as they ascend].
Elyo bayoomvwa jwi pati kuzwa kujulu kaliti kulimbabo, “Amuze ookuno!” eelyo bayoyinka kujulu mujoba, awwo basinkondonyina kabalangide.
13 At that same time there will be a terrible earthquake, which will cause a tenth of [the buildings in] [MTY] the city will collapse, and 7,000 people will die. The rest of the people will be afraid and [acknowledge] that the God [who rules in] heaven is awesome.
Kuchiindi eecho kuyooba muzuzumo mupati, pesi kuchipanzi chili kkumi chadolopo chiyoowa. Zyuulu zyabantu zilimusanu azbili ziyoojayigwa aamuzuzumo, aabo bayoofutuka bayoyoowa akupa bulemu kuli Leza wajulu.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Lyachibili penzi lyakayinda: Bona! Penzi lyatatu lilasika chakufwambaana. Kwakalio mabbalabala atulabi, amizuzumo, akugutuma akuzuzuma kwanyika, avula mabwe.
15 Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn g165)
Elyo angelo wamusanu ababili wakasiba mpeta, alubo majwi mapati akambuulwa kujulu eelyo akati, “Bwami bwanyika bwaba bwami bwa Mwami wesu aKkilisito wakwe, aboobo uyoyendelezya kwalyoonse.” (aiōn g165)
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Pesi bapati bali makumi aabili abane, bakkala azyuuno zyabwami bwabo kunembo lya Leza, bakawida kumasyu aabo akukomba Leza.
17 They said: Lord God, you are the Almighty One! You are the one who exists now! You are the one who has always existed! We thank you that you have defeated by your power everyone who has rebelled against you, and you now rule over everyone in the world.
Bkati, “Tupa kulumba kulinduwe, Mwami Leza Singuzu zyoonse, ooyo uliwo awakaliwo, nkaambo wabweza nguzu zyako mpati akusanguna kweendelezya. Mabbuku mabotu amalembe aachi Giliki chansiku chili atwaambo wakaliwo, uzooba wo pesi kumabbuku amwi alino achi Giliki akayungizya twaambo: ayooyo uzosika.
18 The unbelieving people of [MTY] the nations were raging at you. As a result you have become very angry with them. You have decided that this is the appropriate time for you to judge all the dead people. You have also decided that it is the time for you to reward all your servants, both the prophets and the rest of your people who reverence you [MTY], whether they were considered socially significant/important or socially insignificant/unimportant. It is time for you to reward all of them! You have also decided it is the time for you to destroy the people who are destroying others on the earth.
Zisi zyakanyema, pesi bukali bwako bwasika. Chiindi chasika chabafwide kuti batongwe akuti nywebo mukape balanda banu basinsimi bulumbu abantu ba Leza basalala, abaabo bakayoowa zina lyako, batachikayandikani abalaanguzu. Chiindi chako chasika chakunyonyoona aabo banokunyonyoona nyika.”
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened {was open} and [I] saw in the temple the sacred box/chest that contains God’s commandments. Lightning was flashing, it was thundering and rumbling, the earth shook, and large hailstones [fell from the sky].
Elyo ng'anda ya Leza ili kujulu yakajulwa alubo akkiyi yachizuminano yakaboneka mukati ka Ng'anda.
