< 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.
Napelibhu lilasi lya kutumila kama ndonga jha kupemela. Najobhibhu, “Bhokayi na ukapemayi hekalu lya K'yara ni madhabahu, ni bhala bhabhiabudu mugati.
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.
Lakini usip'emi lieneo lya ua lya kubhala jha hekalu kwakujha bhapelibhu bhanu bha mataifa. Bhaukanyili mji utakatifu kwa muda bhwa miesi arobaini ni mibhele.
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].’”
Nibetakubhapela mashahidi bha nene bhabhele mamlaka gha kutabiri kwa muda ghwa magono 1,260, bhakajha bhafwalili magunila.”
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].
Abha mashahidi ndo mabhele gha Mizeituni ni finara fibhele ambafyo fijhemili palongolo pa Bwana ghwa dunia.
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.
Kama munu jhejhioha ibekuamula kubhadhuru, muoto ghwihoma mu kinywa kya bhene ni kubhadhuru adai bha bhene. Jhejhioha jhailonda kubhadhuru lazima akomibhwayi kwa njela ejhe.
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.
Abha mashahidi bhajheni uwezo bhwa kudenda anga ili kwamba fula isitonyi wakati bhitabiri. Bhajheni nghofu jha kubadili masi kujha damu ni kujhitobha nchi kwa khila aina jha pigo wakati bhwobhwaha wabhilonda.
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 )
Bho bhamalili ushuhuda bhwa bhene, mnyama jhola jhaihomela mulil'ende lya libelili kujha ni mwishu ibetakukheta vita dhidi jha bhene. Ibetakubhashinda ni kubhakhoma. (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].
Mibhele ghya bhene ghibetakugona mu mtaa bhwa mji mbaha (ambabho kimfanu wikutibhwa Sodoma ni Misri) ambapo Bwana bhabhi asulubibhu.
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.
Kwa magono madatu ni nusu baadhi kuhoma mu jamaa sya bhanu, kabila, lugha ni khila taifa bhibeta kulanga mibhele ghya bhene na bhibetalepi kupisya kibali kubhekibhwa mu likaburi.
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.
Bhala bhabhitama mu nchi bhibeta kuhobhelela kwa ndabha jha bhene ni kushangilila, hata kutumilana zawadi kwandabha abhu manabii bhabhele bhabhatesili bhala bhabhatamili mu nchi.
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.
Lakini baada jha magono madatu ni nusu pumzi jha uhai kuhoma kwa K'yara jhibeta kubhajhingila ni bhene bhibeta kujhema kwa magolo gha bhene. Hofu mbaha jhibeta kubhabinila bhala bhabhikabhalola.
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].
Kisha bhibeta kup'eleka sauti mbaha kuhoma kumbinguni jhikabhajobhela, “Muhidayi khoni!” Na bhene bhibeta kulota kunani kumbinguni mu mabhengu, wakati maadui bha bhene bhilanga.
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.
Mu lisaa e'lu kubetakujha ni litetemeku libhaa lya ardhi ni monga jha kumi jha jhibeta kubina. Bhanu elfu saba bhibeta kukhomibhwa mu tetemeku na bhabhibetakubakila hai bhibeta kutisibhwa ni kumpela utukufu K'yara ghwa kumbinguni.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Ole jha pili jhip'etili. Mulangayi! Ole jha tatu jhihida manyata.
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 )
Kisha malaika ghwa saba akobhili tarumbeta lya muene, ni sauti mbaha syajobhili kumbinguni ni kujobha, “Ufalme bhwa dunia umalikujha ufalme bhwa Bwana bhitu ni bhwa Kristu ghuake. Ibeta kutawala milele ni milele.” (aiōn )
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Kisha bhaseya ishirini ni bhancheche bhajhele bhatamili mu fiti fya enzi mbele jha K'yara bhabinili bhene pasi pa ardhi, pamihu bhajhinamisi pasi, na bhene bhamwabuduili K'yara.
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.
Bhajobhili, “Twihomesya shukrani sya tete kwa bhebhe, Bwana. K'yara, mtawala panani pa fyoha, ambajhe ujhele na ambajhe ghwajhele, kwandabha uletili nghofu jha bhebhe mbaha ni kujhanda kutawala.
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.
Mtaifa bhadadili, lakini gadhabu jha bhebhe ihidili. Wakati ufikili kwa bhafu kuhukumibhwa ni bhebhe kubhatawadila bhatumishi bha jhobhi manabii, bhaamini ni bhala bhabhajhele ni hofu jhe lihina lya jhobhi, bhoha bhabhele bhabhifuayi lepi khenu ni bhenye nghofu. Ni wakati bhwa bhebhe ufikili bhwa kubhaharibu bhala ambabho bhajhele bhakajhiharibu dunia.”
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].
Kisha hekalu lya K'yara kumbinguni lyafunulibhu ni lisanduku lya agano lya muene lyabhonekene mugati mu hekalu lya muene. Kwajhele ni miale ghya muanga, kelele, mapajhula gha radi, tetemeku lya ardhi ni maganga gha fula.
