Revelation 14
1 But then I saw the [one who is like a] lamb standing on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem]. With him were 144,000 [people]. His name and his Father’s name had been written {[He] had written his name and his Father’s name} on their foreheads.
Mpondalangishisha, ndalabona Mwana mbelele kali wemana pa mulundu wa Siyoni pamo ne bantu bali bina mwanda umo ne makumi ana ne bina. Abo balalembwa pa nkumo lina lya Mwana Mbelele kayi ne lina lya Baishi.
2 I heard a sound from heaven, which was as [loud] [SIM] as the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide [river of rushing] water) and which was [also as loud as] [SIM] mighty thunder. The sound that I heard was like [the sound that] people make when they are playing their harps.
Kayi ndalanyumfwa liswi kwilu alikunyumfwiketi kuwota kwa menshi angi, kayi ne kutatala kwa mfula. Kayi eti bantu balombonga tulumbu.
3 The 144,000 people were singing a new song [while they stood] in front of the throne, in front of the four living [creatures], and in front of the elders. Only the 144,000 [people], the ones who have been {whom [the one who is like a lamb] has} redeemed/bought from among the people on the earth, could learn that song. No one else could learn the song [that they sang].
Bantu basa balemana ku Cipuna ca Bwami pamo ne bya buyumi bina kayi ne bamakulene, balikwimbila lwimbo lwa linolino. Lwalikubula kwishibikwa ne muntu uliyense, nsombi bali bina mwanda umo ne bina makumi ana ne bina. Aba ebonka balaulwa pa cishi capanshi.
4 Those 144,000 are the people who are [spiritually] pure, [like] virgins [are morally pure]. They have not (defiled themselves/made themselves impure) [MET] [by worshipping any false god]. They are the ones who accompany Jesus, the [one who is like a] lamb, wherever he goes. They [represent all those whom he has] redeemed/bought for God from among the people [of earth, in order that he might offer] them to God and to [himself].
Ebantu balabula kulisafwanya ne batukashi. Baswepa eti ncebabele balindu batamwishi mutuloba. Bakute kukonkelowa nkwalenga Mwana Mbelele. Aba ebalaulwa pacishi capanshi kwambeti babe bantu batanshi kubengwa mulumbo kuli Lesa ne kuli Mwana Mbelele.
5 [Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
Ebantu balabula ku bepapo, kayi babula kampenda.
6 I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
Kufumapo ndalabona naumbi mungelo walikuluka mwilu kakute Mulumbe Waina utapu wakukambaukila bantu pa cishi capanshi ba nkanda shapusana shonse ne mishobo yonse ne milaka yonse kayi ne bishi byonse. (aiōnios g166)
7 He said in a loud voice, “Revere God and honor him, because it is now time for him to judge [people]! Worship [God, because he is] the one who created the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the springs of water.”
Mungeloyo walikompololeti, “Lemekeshani Lesa ne kumushikaisha bukulene bwakendi! Pakwinga cindi cakendi ca kombolosha muntu uliyense cilashiki. Musuntamineni walalenga kwilu ne cishi capanshi ne lwenje kayi ne tusensa twa menshi!”
8 A second angel came after him saying, “The very evil [cities] (OR, [city]) [represented by] Babylon are completely destroyed! [God] has punished [their people because] they [have persuaded people of] all the nations [to forsake God, just like a prostitute] [MET] persuades [men] to drink [strong] wine and [as a result] commit sexual immorality.”
Mungelo wa cibili walikukonkela mungelo mutanshi walikambeti, “Lau! Babulo munene, lau! Walikunwisha bantu waini, waini walula wa nyotwa yabufule bwakendi.”
9 A third angel came next, saying in a loud voice, “If people worship the beast and its image and [allow] its mark to be put {its [agent to] put its mark} on their foreheads or on their hands,
Kayi mungelo wa citatu walabakonkela basa bangelo babili balatanguna, neye kompololeti, “Uliyense lakambililinga cinyama kayi ne mukoshano waco ne kuba ne cishibisho pa nkumo nambi pa cikasa,
10 God will be angry with them and punish them very severely [MET]. They will be tormented {[God] will torment them} in burning sulfur in the presence of his holy angels and in the presence of the [one who is like a] lamb.
nakanweko waini wabukalu bwakendi Lesa, waini wabula kusankanyako menshi ngweshi akapomwene mu nkomeshi ya bukalu bwakendi! Kayi nibakapenge ne mulilo ne sulufule, bangelo baswepa pamo ne Mwana Mbelele kabebelela.
11 The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
Kayi bwishi bwa kupenshewa kwabo nibukasukumenga kwamuyayaya. Abo balakambililinga cinyama ne mukoshano waco, kayi uliyense walatambulako cishibisho ca lina lyaco nteti akapumwine munshi ne mashiku.” (aiōn g165)
12 So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
“Bantu ba Lesa balanyumfwilinga Milawo yakendi, ne kushoma muli Yesu belela kwikalika cali.”
13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write [this: God will] now [abundantly] bless the people who have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus] for the rest of [their lives].” [God’s] Spirit says, “Yes, [after they die], they will no longer have to work hard. Instead, they will rest, and [the record of the good deeds] [MTY] that they have done will go with them (OR, [God] will [reward them] for the good deeds that they have done).”
Kayi ndalanyumfwa liswi kwilu kalyambeti, “Ici kocilemba. Bakute colwe bantu balafunga kabali bashoma Lesa, kutatika pa cindi cino kuya kuntangu!” Mushimu wa Lesa ulambangeti, “Ee, balekeni benga bapumwine ku ncito shabo nshebali kusebensa, pakwinga nibakapewe cilambo pa ncito nshebali kwinsa.”
14 Then I was surprised to see a white cloud, and on the cloud [someone] was sitting who looked like the one who came from heaven. He [was wearing] a golden crown on his head. In his hand [he held] a sharp sickle.
Mpondalalangishisha, ndalabona likumbi lyatuba tuu. Apo pa likumbi palikuba pekala walikuboneketi Mwana Muntu wafwala ngowani ya Bwami ya golide ku mutwi, kakute cijekeshi calumata mu makasa.
15 Another angel came out of the temple [in heaven]. In a loud voice, [speaking figuratively about gathering people for God to judge them], he said to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “The time has come to reap [the grain on the earth], so with your sickle [reap] the [grain], because the grain on the earth is ripe.”
Naumbi mungelo walapula mu Ng'anda ya Lesa kwilu kambila usa wekala pa likumbi eti, “Kotatikako kutebula ne cijekeshi cakobe, cindi cakutebula cilashiki, bishango pa cishi capanshi bilakomo kwambeti bitebulwe.”
16 The one who was sitting on the cloud forcefully gathered together [all the people] on earth, [as] [MET] [a farmer] reaps grain with his sickle.
Usa walikuba wekala pa likumbi kuyangula bishango pa cishi capanshi ne cijekeshi, kayi bishango pa cishi capanshi byalatebula.
17 Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
Kayi naumbi mungelo walapula mu Ng'anda ya Lesa kwilu, neye wali kukute cijekeshi calumata.
18 From the altar came another angel. He is the one who takes care of the fire [of the altar. Also speaking figuratively about gathering the wicked people for God to judge and punish them], he said in a loud voice to the angel who held the sharp sickle, “With your sharp sickle cut off the clusters of grapes in the vineyards on the earth! Then gather the clusters of grapes together, because its grapes are ripe!”
Kayi naumbi mungelo walikukute ngofu sha kwendelesha mulilo, walapula pa nteme kabilikisha ku mungelo usa walikukute cijekeshi eti, “Kosebensesha cijekeshi cakobe uyangule minyansa mumabala a pacishi capanshi pakwinga minyansa ilakomo cena.”
19 So, [just like a man would] cut off with his sickle the clusters of grapes in his vineyard [MET], an angel forcefully [gathered the wicked people] on the earth. Then he threw them into the huge place where God will angrily punish them.
Neco usa mungelo walayangula bisepo bya minyansa pa cishi capanshi, ne kubiwala mucisengu mwakutyanina bukalu bunene bwa Lesa.
20 [The wicked people] were trampled on {[God’s agent] trod on [the wicked people]} [in] the winepress outside the city. The blood that came out from the winepress flowed [in a stream so deep that it reached] to the bridles of the horses, [and extended] (180 miles/300 kilometers).
Bisepo bya minyansa balabityanina mucisengu calikuba kunsa kwa munshi, mpobalabilyataula mwalatyanika milopa yalasanduka kuba mulonga utali wapita myanda itatu ya makilomita, kayi yashika mamita abili.
