Revelation 7
1 After this, I saw four angels standing ‘upon the four corners of the earth,’ restraining the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow over the earth, or over the sea, or against any tree.
Zvino shure kweizvi ndakaona vatumwa vana vamire kumativi mana enyika vakabata mhepo ina dzenyika, kuti mhepo irege kuvhuvhuta panyika, kana pagungwa, kana pamuti upi zvawo.
2 And, in the east, I saw another angel, ascending, holding the seal of the Living God; and he cried in a loud voice to the four angels, to whom there had been given power to harm the earth and the sea —
Uye ndakaona umwe mutumwa achikwira kubva kumabvazuva kwezuva ane mucherechedzo waMwari mupenyu; akadana nenzwi guru kuvatumwa vana, vaya vakange vapiwa simba kuti vatadzire nyika negungwa,
3 ‘Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.’
achiti: Musatadzira nyika, kana gungwa, kana miti, kusvikira taisa mucherechedzo varanda vaMwari wedu pahuma dzavo.
4 I heard, too, the number of those who had been sealed. It was one hundred and forty-four thousand; and they were from every tribe of the Israelites.
Zvino ndakanzwa uwandu hwevakaiswa mucherechedzo: Zvuru zana nemakumi mana nezvina vakaiswa mucherechedzo kubva kumarudzi ese evana vaIsraeri.
5 From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
Kubva kurudzi rwaJudha zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaRubheni zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaGadhi zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo;
6 from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Napthali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
kubva kurudzi rwaAsheri zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaNafutarimi zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaManase zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo;
7 from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
kubva kurudzi rwaSimioni zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaRevhi zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaIsaskari zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo;
8 from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
kubva kurudzi rwaZebhuruni zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaJosefa zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo; kubva kurudzi rwaBhenjamini zvuru gumi nezviviri vakaiswa mucherechedzo.
9 After this, in my vision, I saw a vast throng which no man could number, of men from every nation and of all tribes, and peoples, and languages. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, robed in white, holding palm branches in their hands.
Shure kwaizvozvi ndakaona, zvino tarira, chaunga chikuru, chisina anogona kuverenga, chinobva kundudzi dzese, nemarudzi, nevanhu, nendimi, vakamira pamberi pechigaro cheushe nepamberi peGwayana, vakamonera nguvo refu chena, nemichindwe mumaoko avo;
10 And they are crying in a loud voice — ‘Salvation be ascribed to our God who is seated on his throne and to the Lamb.’
zvino vakadanidzira nenzwi guru, vachiti: Ruponeso ngaruve kuna Mwari wedu anogara pachigaro cheushe, nekuGwayana.
11 And all the angels were standing round the throne and the Councillors and the four Creatures, and they prostrated themselves on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God,
Zvino vatumwa vese vakamira vakakomba chigaro cheushe nevakuru nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina, vakawa pamberi pechigaro cheushe nezviso zvavo, ndokunamata Mwari,
12 saying — ‘Amen. Blessing and praise, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.’ (aiōn g165)
vachiti: Ameni: Kurumbidzwa nekubwinya nenjere nekuvonga nerukudzo nesimba nemasimba ngazvive kuna Mwari wedu kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
13 Then one of the Councillors turned to me and said ‘Who are these who are robed in white? and whence did they come?’
Zvino umwe wevakuru wakapindura, achiti kwandiri: Ava vakapfeka nguvo refu chena ndivana ani, uye vakabvepi?
14 ‘My Lord,’ I answered, ‘it is you who know.’ ‘These,’ he said, ‘are they who come through the Great Persecution; they washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.
Zvino ndakati kwaari: Ishe, ndimwi munoziva. Zvino akati kwandiri: Ava ndivo vanobva mukutambudzika kukuru, uye vakasuka nguvo refu dzavo, uye ivo vakadzichenesa muropa reGwayana.
15 And therefore it is that they are before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his Temple; and he who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
Nekuda kweizvi vari pamberi pechigaro cheushe chaMwari, vanomushumira masikati neusiku mutembere yake; uye anogara pachigaro cheushe achatandavadza tende pamusoro pavo.
16 Never again shall they be hungry, never again shall they be thirsty, nor shall the sun smite upon them, nor any scorching heat;
Havachazombovi nenzara kana kuzombova nenyota, nezuva haringatongovawiri, kana kupisa kupi zvako;
17 for the Lamb that stands in the space before the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to life-giving springs of water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.’
nokuti Gwayana riri pakati pechigaro cheushe richavafunda, uye richavatungamirira kuzvitubu zvipenyu zvemvura; uye Mwari achapusika misodzi yese pameso avo.
