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.
Hessafe guye, taw wadha xam77a immidi, “Bada Xoossa Keethanne yarshsho bessaa wadhdha; yan goynniya asatakka payda.
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.
Shin Xoossa Keetha kare dabaabay Ayhude gidonna asaas imettida gisho wadhdhonna aggaaga. Ayhude gidonna asay geeshsha katamaa oytamanne nam77u ageena haarana.
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].’”
Taani kalle ma77ida ta nam77u markkatta kiittana; entti 1260 gallas tinbbite odana” yaagis.
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].
He nam77u markkati alamiya Godaa sinthan eqqiya nam77u shamaho mithatanne nam77u xomppe wothiya kocata.
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.
Oonikka entta qohanaw koykko entta doonappe tami keyidi, entta morkketa dhayssees. Entta qohanaw koyaa oonikka hessada hayqqana.
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.
Entti tinbbite odiya wode iri bukkonna mela saluwa gorddanaw enttaw maati de7ees. Enttaw haathe suuthi kessanaw, qassi entti koyida mela biittaa dumma dumma gadon dhayssanaw enttaw maati de7ees.
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)
Entti bantta markkatethaa onggidaappe guye, ollaafe keyaa do7ay enttana olana. He do7ay entta xoonana; wodhana. (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].
Entta Goday masqaliya bolla kaqettida gita katamaa ogiya bolla entta ahay yegettana. He katamay leemison Soodome woykko Gibxe geetetti xeegettees.
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.
Qassi zerethi ubbaafe, yara ubbaafe, dumma dumma doonappenne kawotethi ubbaafe yida asay entta ahaa heedzu gallasinne bagga gakkanaw be7ana. Entta ahay moogettonna mela asay diggana.
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.
Ha nam77u nabeti sa7an de7iya asaa waaysida gisho asay entta hayquwan ufayttana. Bantta ufayssaa bessanaw issoy issuwas imota immana.
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.
Heedzu gallasinne baggafe guye, de7o ayyaanay Xoossaa matappe yidi enttanan gelin, entti denddi eqqidosona. Entta be7ida ubbay gita yashshi yayyidosona.
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].
Hessafe guye, he nam77u nabeti, “Haa pude keyite” giya qaala saloppe si7idosona. Entta morkketi enttana be7ishin, entti shaaran gelidi pude salo bidosona.
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.
He saatiyan biittay wolqqaama qaaxo qaaxxin, katamaappe tammantho kushey dhays. Qassi biitta qaaxon laappun mukulu asay hayqqis. Attida asay daro kokkoridi babbidi; salo Xoossaas bonchcho immidosona.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Nam77antho ayyey aadhdhis, shin hekko heedzantho ayyey eeson yaana.
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)
Laappuntha kiitanchchoy ba moyziya punnis. Saloppe, “Sa7aa kawotethay nu Godaasinne Kiristtoosas gidis; I merinaappe merinaa gakkanaw haarana” yaagiya wolqqaama qaalay si7ettis. (aiōn g165)
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Yaatin, Xoossaa sinthan, bantta araatan uttida laatamanne oyddu cimati gufannidi, Xoossas goynnidi,
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.
“Ha77ika kasekka de7eysso, Godaw, Ubbaafe Wolqqaama Xoossaw, neeni gita wolqqaa oykkadasa. Neeni haaranaw doomida gisho, nuuni nena galatoos.
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.
Ayhude gidonna asay hanqettidosona, shin ne hanqoy yis. Hayqqidayssata bolla ne pirddiya wodey yis. Neeni ne aylleta, nabetas geeshshatasinne ne sunthaas yayyeyssatas, guuthatasinne gitatas, entta oosuwada immiya wodey gakkis. Alamiya dhaysseyssata dhayssiya wodey yis” yaagidosona.
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].
Salon de7iya Xoossa Keethay dooyettis; iya giddon Xoossaa caaqo Taabotay benttis. Qassi wol77anthay wol77ammis, deshoy dechchis; daday dhuuqqis; biittay qaaxxis; shachchay bukkis.
