Revelation 15
1 Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
Mme mo legodimong ka bona sesupo se se boitshegang sa dilo tse di tlaa tlogang di tla; baengele ba supa ba ne ba abelwa go tlisa dipetso tsa bofelo di supa mo lefatsheng, mme kwa bofelong bogale jwa Modimo bo tlaa fela.
2 I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
Mme fa pele ga me ga bo go phatlaladitswe sengwe ekete lewatle la molelo le galase, mme mo go lone ga bo go eme botlhe ba ba neng ba fentse sebatana se se bosula le setshwantsho le lotshwao le palo ya sone. Botlhe ba ne ba tshotse diharepa tsa Modimo,
3 They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
mme ba ne ba opela sefela sa ga Moshe, motlhanka wa Modimo le sefela sa Kwana ba re: “Ditiro tsa gago di dikgolo di a gakgamatsa, Morena Modimo Mothatayotlhe, Ditsela tsa gago di siame ebile di boammaaruri, Wena Kgosi ya dingwaga-ngwaga.
4 O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
Ke mang yo o se kitlang a boifa, Morena. A bo a galaletsa leina la gago? Gonne ke wena fela yo o boitshepo. Mme dichaba tsotlhe di tlaa tla di go obamela, Gonne tshiamo ya ditiro tsa gago e senotswe.”
5 After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
Mme ka leba mme ka bona gore Boitshepo jwa Maitshepo jwa Tempele mo legodimong bo butswe.
6 The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
Baengele ba supa ba ba neng ba abetswe tiro ya go tsholola dipetso di supa; ba tswa mo tempeleng, ba apere matsela a masweu, le meitlamo ya gauta go kgabaganya dihuba tsa bone.
7 One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
Mme sengwe sa ditshedi tse nne sa naya mongwe le mongwe wa bone lebotlolo la gauta le tletse bogale jo bo maswe jwa Modimo o o tshelang ka bosakhutleng. (aiōn g165)
8 The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
Tempele ya tlala mosi o o tswang mo kgalalelong ya Modimo le mo thateng ya one; mme ga bo go se ope yo o nonofileng go ka tsena go fitlhelela baengele ba supa ba sena go fetsa go tsholola dipetso di supa.
