Revelation 19
1 After these things I heard [what sounded] like a huge crowd in heaven. They were shouting things like, “(Hallelujah!/Praise our God!)” “He has saved us!” “He is glorious and mighty!”
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio ngĩigua kĩndũ kĩagambaga ta mũrurumo wa kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa andũ makĩanĩrĩra kũu igũrũ, makoiga atĩrĩ: “Haleluya! Ũhonokio, na riiri, na hinya nĩ cia Ngai witũ,
2 “Praise him because he judges truly and justly!” “He has punished the very evil cities that are like a prostitute, because their people persuaded the other people of earth [MTY] to act immorally and idolatrously like they do.” “Praise him because he has punished them for murdering his servants [MTY]!”
nĩgũkorwo matuĩro make ma ciira nĩ ma ma, na nĩ ma kĩhooto. Tondũ nĩatuĩrĩire mũmaraya ũcio mũnene ciira, ũcio wathũkirie thĩ na ũtharia wake. Na nĩamũrĩhĩtie thakame ya ndungata ciake.”
3 [The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Na makĩanĩrĩra o rĩngĩ, makiuga atĩrĩ: “Haleluya! Ndogo yake ĩgũtũũra yambataga nginya tene na tene.” (aiōn g165)
4 The 24 elders and the four living [creatures] (prostrated themselves/knelt down) and worshipped God, who sits on the throne. Then they said, “[It] is true! (Hallelujah!/Praise God!)”
Nao athuuri arĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana, na ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo, makĩĩgũithia thĩ makĩhooya Ngai, ũrĩa waikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene. Nao makĩanĩrĩra atĩrĩ: “Ameni, Haleluya!”
5 Someone spoke from the throne and said, “All you who are our God’s servants, praise him! All you who reverence him, [whether you are socially] significant or insignificant, praise him! [Everyone]!”
Ningĩ mũgambo ũkiuma gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: “Goocai Ngai witũ, inyuĩ ndungata ciake inyuothe, o inyuĩ mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, arĩa anini na arĩa anene!”
6 I heard something like the noise of a huge crowd [of people], like the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water), and like the sound of loud thunder. They were shouting: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) Because the Lord God, the Almighty One, reigns!
Ngĩcooka ngĩigua mũgambo warĩ ta wa kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene mũno, wahaanaga ta mũrurumo wa maaĩ megũtherera na ta mũrurumo mũnene wa ngwa, naguo ũkĩanĩrĩra, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: “Haleluya! Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Ngai witũ, o we Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩarathamaka.
7 We should rejoice, we should be extremely glad, and we should honor him, because it is now time for Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, to be united permanently with his people, which will be like a man [MET] marrying his bride, and because those who belong to him have prepared themselves to be united with him.
Nĩtũkenei, na tũcanjamũke, na tũmũgooce! Nĩgũkorwo ũhiki wa Gatũrũme nĩmũkinyu, nake mũhiki wake nĩehaarĩirie.
8 God has permitted them to be completely pure, like a bride who [MET] dresses in fine linen that is bright and clean. Fine [bright and clean] linen represents the righteous acts of God’s people.
Nake mũhiki ũcio akĩheo nguo cia taama ya gatani ĩrĩa njega, ĩ gũkenga na theru, nĩguo ehumbe.” (Taama wa gatani ĩrĩa njega nĩguo ciĩko cia ũthingu cia andũ arĩa aamũre.)
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write [this: God will abundantly] bless the people who are {whom [he] has} invited to the feast [that celebrates Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, [permanently uniting with his people, like someone] [MET] [marrying a wife].” He also said [to me]: “These words that God [declares] are true!”
Ningĩ mũraika ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Andĩka atĩrĩ: ‘Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa metĩtwo iruga-inĩ rĩa ũhiki wa Gatũrũme!’” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Icio nĩ ciugo cia ma cia Ngai.”
10 I [immediately] (prostrated myself/knelt down) at his feet in order to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not [worship me]! I am [just] your [(sg)] fellow servant and the fellow servant of your [(sg)] fellow believers who tell people about Jesus. God is the one whom you should worship, because it is the Spirit of God who gives people the power to tell others about Jesus (OR, [those who tell others about] Jesus are [truly] declaring [the words that the Spirit of God has given them])!”
Rĩrĩa ndaiguire ũguo, ngĩgwa magũrũ-inĩ make ndĩmũhooe. No akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩka ũguo! O na niĩ ndĩ ndungata hamwe nawe, na hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a thoguo, arĩa magwatĩirie ũira wa Jesũ. Hooya Ngai arĩ we! Nĩgũkorwo ũira wa Jesũ nĩguo roho wa ũrathi.”
11 [In the vision] I saw heaven opened {open}, and I was surprised to see a white horse. [Jesus], the one who was riding on the horse, is called ‘Trustworthy and Genuine/True’. He judges [all people according to] what is right, and fights righteously [against his enemies].
Ningĩ nĩndonire igũrũ rĩhingũkĩte na hau mbere yakwa haarĩ na mbarathi njerũ, nake ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte etagwo Mwĩhokeku na Wa-ma. Nake atuuaga ciira, na akarũa mbaara arũmĩtie kĩhooto.
12 His eyes [shone like] [MET] a flame of fire. There were many royal crowns on his head. A name had been written [on him]. Only he knows [the meaning of that name].
Namo maitho make mahaana ta mwaki ũgwakana, na arĩ na thũmbĩ nyingĩ mũtwe. Nĩandĩkĩtwo rĩĩtwa, rĩtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩũĩ tiga we wiki.
13 The robe he was wearing was drenched with blood. His name is [also] “(The one who expresses what God is like/The Word of God).”
Ehumbĩte nguo ĩrindĩtwo thakame-inĩ, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake etagwo Kiugo-kĩa-Ngai.
14 The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
Nacio mbũtũ cia ita cia igũrũ ciamuumĩte thuutha, ihaicĩte mbarathi njerũ na ikehumba nguo cia taama wa gatani ĩrĩa njega, njerũ cua na theru.
15 [The words] that Jesus speaks [are like] [MTY] a sharp sword with which he will strike [the rebellious people of] the nations. He himself will rule them [powerfully, as though he had] [MET] an iron rod. He will crush [his enemies just like] [MET] [a person crushes grapes in a] winepress. [He will do this for] God Almighty, who is extremely angry [with them because of their sins].
Ningĩ kanua-inĩ gake koimĩte rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ rwa kũũraga ndũrĩrĩ naruo. Nake agaaciathaga na rũthanju rwa kĩgera na arangĩrĩrie ihihĩro rĩa ndibei rĩa mangʼũrĩ marũrũ ma Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
16 On his cloak close to his thigh a name had been written {[he] had written a name}, which is “King who [rules over all other] kings and Lord who [rules over all other] lords.”
Nguo-inĩ yake na kĩero-inĩ gĩake nĩandĩkĩtwo rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ: “MŨTHAMAKI WA ATHAMAKI, NA MWATHANI WA AATHANI.”
17 I saw an angel who was standing in [the light of] [MTY] the sun. He called loudly to all the [flesh-eating] birds flying high in the sky, “Come and gather for the wonderful feast that God [is providing for you]!
Ngĩcooka ngĩona mũraika ũmwe arũgamĩte thĩinĩ wa riũa, nake akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, agĩĩta nyoni iria ciarerete rĩera-inĩ, agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, mũngane hamwe iruga-inĩ rĩrĩa inene rĩa Ngai,
18 [Come] and eat the flesh of all [God’s enemies who are dead—] the flesh of kings, army commanders, [people who fought] powerfully, horses and the [soldiers] who rode them, [and the flesh of all other kinds of people], whether [they were] free or slaves, [socially] insignificant or significant. [All kinds]!”
nĩgeetha mũrĩe nyama cia mĩĩrĩ ya athamaki, na ya anene a mbaara, na ya andũ arĩa marĩ hinya, o na nyama cia mbarathi na cia ahaici a cio, na nyama cia mĩĩrĩ ya andũ othe arĩa eyathi na arĩa ngombo, o na arĩa anini na arĩa anene.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of earth with their armies gathered together to fight against the Rider on the horse, and against his army.
Ningĩ ngĩona nyamũ ĩrĩa, na athamaki a thĩ, na mbũtũ ciao cia ita mecookanĩrĩirie hamwe nĩgeetha marũe na ũcio wahaicĩte mbarathi na mbũtũ yake ya ita.
20 The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rider on the horse killed the rest [of their armies] just by [speaking words], [which were like] [MTY] a sword that extended from his mouth. All those birds gorged themselves on the flesh of [the people whom he had killed].
Arĩa maatigaire makĩũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora ruoimĩte kanua ka ũcio wahaicĩte mbarathi, nacio nyoni ciothe ikĩĩhũũnĩrĩria nyama cia mĩĩrĩ yao.
