< 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.
Nilyapelilue ililasi lya kuvombela ndavule ulukwegho ulwa kupimila. Nikavulua, “Vukabkange ukapime inyumba inyimike ijakufunyila ija Nguluve nilitekelo navala vano vikufunya mun'kate mwa mwene.
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.
Looli nungapimaghe kuluvigho ulwa kunji lwa nyumba inyimike ijabkufunyila, ulwakuvavapelilue avaanhu avapanji. Pe vikikanya ilikaja ilyimike munsiki ughwafighono fine nifivili.
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].’”
Nikavapela avolesi vango vavili uvutavuliluavuvwa ku viila kunsiki ughwa mbilima jimo filundo fivili ni fijigho ntanda, yevafwalile ifigunila.”
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].
Avolesi ava ghe mapiki gha vili agha makindu nifisonge fivili fino fyimile pavulongolo pa Mutua ghwa iisi.
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.
Ndavule umuunhu ghweni ililamula ku nangania, umwooto kuhuma mumalomo ghavanave nakunangania avalugu vavanave. Ghweni juno ilonda kukuvanangania lunoghile abudue kusila iiji.
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.
Avolesi ava valiningufu isa kudinda uvulanga ulwakuuti ifula najingatonyaghe unsiki ghuno vivila. valiningufu isa kuhambusia amalenga kuuva danda nakutova iisi ni mumuko sooni un'siki ghwoni vangighane.
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 )
Unsiki gjuno viliva vamalile uvwolesi vuvanave, kila ikikanu nikiila kino kihuma mumwina ghuno ghusila kuvusila ivomba uvulugu vuvanave. Ikuvalefia na kukuvabuda. (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].
Amaviili ghavanave ghilighona mu m'pulo ughwa likaja ilivaha (ghuno ikihwani kitambulivua Sodoma ni Misiri) pano uMutua ghuvanave akapumusivue.
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.
Ifighono fitatu na pakati vamo kuhuma muvaanhu, kisina, jovele, nakila kisina vilolagha amaviili ghavanave kange navange navilihumia uvutavule kuvika mu mbipa.
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.
Vala vano vikukala mu iisi vihovoka vwimila vwa mwene nakukwovela, nambe kulaghisania uluvonolo ulwakuva avuo avaviili vavili valyavapumwisie vala vano vikukala mu iisi.
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.
Looli ifighono fitatu na pakati ulujilo nu vwumi kuhuma kwa Nguluve jikuvingila avene vikwima ku maghulu ghavanave. Uludwesi uluvaha lukuvaghwila vala vano vikuvagha.
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].
Kange vipulika ilisio ilivaha kuhuma kukyanya likuvavula, “Mwise kuno!” Navene viluta kukyanya mulifunde, unsiki ghuno avalugu vavanave viloola.
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.
Mukivalilo ikio kuliva nulutetemo uluvaha luno ulwa kijigho kimo ulwa likaja lughua. Avaanhu mbilima lekela lubale vibudua mu lutetemo navano visighala vwumi vikwoghopesivua nakumpela u Nguluve uvwimike uvwa kukyanya.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Iiga ja vuvili yejikilile. Lolagha! Iiga javutatu jikwisa ng'aning'ani.
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 )
Kange umunyamola ghwa lekela lubale akatovile ulukelema lwa mwene, nilisio ilikome lilyajovile kukyanya na kuuti, “Untua ghwa iisi vwa vatua umitua ghwitu nu ghwa Kilisite ghwa mwene. Ilitema kuvusila nakusila.” (aiōn )
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Looli avaghogholo ifijigho fivili na vane navano vakikalile pafitengo fya vutua pavulongolo pa Nguluve valyaulghwile vavuo pasii pa iisi, uvweni vuvanave vwinime pasi, naveene vakifunyagha kwa Nguluve.
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.
Vakaati, “Tuhumia inyongesio siitu kulyuve, Mutwa Nguluve, n'tema ghwa fyooni, ghwa juno pwale, najuno pweukale, utoolile ingufu sako imbaha isa kutengula kutema.
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.
Avapanji vakakalala, looli ilyojo lisile. Un'siki ghufikile ku vafue ku highua uve kukuvohela avavombi vako avavili, avitiki na vano vikulyoghopa ilitavua lyako, vooni vavili vano navanoghile kiinu navanyangufu. Nu n'siki ghwako ghufikile un'siki ughwa kuvanangania vaala vano vakale vikujinangania iisi.”
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].
Kange inyumba inyimike ijakufunyila ija Nguluve ku kyanya lilyadindulilue nilisanduka ilya agano lya mwene lilyavonike munyumba inyimike ija kufunyila ijamwene. Kwelukale ulumuli nu lumuli, injeghelo, ulugulumo ulwa ragi, ulutetemo ulwa iisi namavue agha fula.
