< 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.
Aimpegilwe nawanzi nukutula anga mulanga nuakugemeelya. Aembewe. “Itega hangi genda ugemelye itekeelo lang'wi Tunda nekezindaalo. nawaniakukulya mung'wanso.
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.
Kuite uleke kugemeelya ekeanda kakunzi nekitekeelo kunsonko apegilwe antu nianyakelungu, ekalita ekesale nikitakatifu kumatungo angw'eli makumi anne nuubeele.
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].’”
Nikaapa ahueli anne abeele uhumi nuakutabili kumatungo amahiku 1260, ekaatugae emagunila.
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].
Iahueli awa inge makota abeele namizeituni nemenala ebeele nimekile ntongeela amukulu nuaunkumbigulu.
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.
Anga muntu wehi ukulamula kuazulu, umoto wepume ela mumilomo ao nukuazulu ialugu ao. Wehi nukulowa kuazulu ukusinja kubulagwa kunzila yeye.
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.
Eahueli awa akete uhumi nuakulugaila ilunde ingeembula eleke kukua imatungo niakutabili. Akete ingulu niakukailwa imaze, atule sakami nukumikua ihe kukila imampilu nipigo imatungo ehi nialoilwe.
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 )
Imatungo angapike amale uwihengi nuao, ekekale kehi kekupuma mikombo nigila empelo akituma embita nianso akuahuma nukuabulaga. (Abyssos )
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].
Emeeli ao ekulala mumutaa nuwakesale nekekulu kumpani ukitangwa Sodoma ni Misili, pang'wanso umukulu nuao autumbekilwe.
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.
Kumahiku atatu nenusu ang'wi ekapuma muanluu ntambu, kabila hange kila itaifa akugoza emeele ao hange shakupumya kuekwa mukebeela.
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.
Awa neakie mihe akulowa kunsoko ao nukulumbeelya, sunga akipa nizawadi kunsoko anyakidagu neabeele aagilye awa naeakole mihe.
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.
Kuite anga yakela nsiku itatu ninusu imehupo naupanga kupuma kung'wi Tunda ekigeela neenso akimeka kungulu ao. Akutula nuukulu awa niakuaona.
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].
Hangi akija luli lukulu kupuma kilunde akuaela, nzii kunu, “nianso ekalongola migulya kulikalo milunde neansoealugu ao ekaagozee.
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.
Musaa nanso ikalekole itetemeko ikulu nelihe eng'wi amumahe ikumi, Ekagwaw. Antu elfu mupungate akubulagwa nimatetemeko nao niakusaga apanga akogopa mupa Itunda nuakilunde uukulu.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Uukea wakabeele wakela; Goza uukea nuwakatatu upembilye ukaiye.
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 )
angi umalaeka nuamupungate wikakua impembeakwe, ninduli nkulu yekatambula kilunde nukulunga. Uutemi nuamihe wainautemi wamukulu wehi hange wang'wa Kilisto nuakwe. ukutema ekale nakale. (aiōn )
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Hangi anyampala makumi abeele nune aiikie mituntu nilautemi, ntongeela ang'wi Tunda aiagwie ienso pihe mulonkunde, nuuso wao aiukunamile nienso ekamukulya Itunda.
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.
Ikangi, “Kupumya esongeelyo litu kung'wankolo mukulu Itunda mutemi waintu yehi naukole nuyu nukole, kunsoko wahola engulu yako nukanza kutemya.
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.
Ianyakilungu ikataka, kuite ikuo lako lazaa imatungo akapika iashi kulamula nuewe kuapokela eitumi ako enyakedagu, ehueli nawa niakete uwoa nua lina lako. Ehi niabeele singaawezilye anga kentu awa nianyangulu. Nimatungo ako apika nakuabuya awa naebepya ihe.
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].
Hangi itekeelo lang'wi Tunda nuakilunde lekalugulwa nisandiko lawigombyi nuakwe likigela nitekeelo lakwe. Aiikole nzahi ya welu, mugugumo wampeto, itetemeko lihe nimagwe ambula.
