< Revelation 11 >
1 A reed was given to me to use like a measuring rod. I was told, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it.
Ningĩ ngĩnengerwo mũrangi wa gũthima wahaanaga ta rũthanju, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũthime hekarũ ya Ngai na kĩgongona, na ũtare andũ arĩa marahooya Ngai kuo.
2 But do not measure the courtyard outside the temple, for it has been given over to the Gentiles. They will trample the holy city for forty-two months.
No nja ya hekarũ ũtigane nayo, ndũkamĩthime tondũ nĩĩhetwo andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ. Nao nĩmakarangĩrĩria itũũra rĩu itheru ihinda rĩa mĩeri mĩrongo ĩna na ĩĩrĩ.
3 I will give my two witnesses authority to prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Na niĩ nĩngaahe aira akwa eerĩ hinya, nao nĩmakaratha ũhoro handũ ha matukũ 1,260 mehumbĩte nguo cia makũnia.”
4 These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that have stood before the Lord of the earth.
Acio nĩo mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa ĩĩrĩ, na nĩo mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩĩrĩ ya kũigĩrĩrwo matawa ĩrĩa ĩrũgamĩte mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ.
5 If anyone chooses to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. Anyone who wishes to harm them must be killed in this way.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩkaageria kũmeka ũũru, mwaki ũkoimaga tũnua twao ũkaniina thũ icio ciao. Na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩkenda kũmeka ũũru no nginya akue o ũguo.
6 These witnesses have authority to close up the sky so that no rain will fall during the time that they prophesy. They have power to turn the waters to blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague whenever they wish.
Andũ aya marĩ na hinya wa kũhinga igũrũ nĩgeetha gũtikae kuura mbura ihinda rĩrĩa makaaratha ũhoro; ningĩ marĩ na hinya wa kũgarũra maaĩ matuĩke thakame. O na ningĩ marĩ na hinya wa kũhũũra thĩ na mĩthemba yothe ya mĩthiro maita maingĩ o ta ũrĩa mangĩenda.
7 When they will have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will wage war against them. He will conquer them and kill them. (Abyssos )
Rĩrĩa makaarĩkia kũheana ũira wao-rĩ, nyamũ ĩrĩa yambataga yumĩte Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi nĩĩkamatharĩkĩra ĩmatoorie, na ĩmoorage. (Abyssos )
8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city (which is symbolically called Sodom and Egypt) where their Lord was crucified.
Nacio ciimba ciao igaatigwo ciaraganĩte njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩrĩa inene, rĩrĩa rĩgerekanagio rĩgetwo Sodomu kana Misiri, na nĩkuo Mwathani wao aambĩirwo mũtĩ igũrũ.
9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language, and nation will look at their bodies. They will not permit them to be placed in a tomb.
Na ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩtatũ na nuthu, andũ a kuuma iruka ciothe, na mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na thiomi ciothe na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nĩmakerorera ciimba ciao, na magirie ithikwo.
10 Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate. They will even send gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented those who lived on the earth.
Nao andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ nĩmagakenerera aira acio, na makũngũĩre magĩtũmanagĩra iheo, tondũ anabii acio eerĩ nĩmanyariiraga andũ a gũkũ thĩ.
11 But after three and a half days a breath of life from God will enter them, and they will stand on their feet. Great fear will fall on those who see them.
No thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ na nuthu, mĩhũmũ ya muoyo ĩkĩmatoonya yumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nao makĩrũgama na magũrũ mao, na arĩa maamonire makĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩmako kĩnene mũno.
12 Then they will hear a loud voice from heaven say to them, “Come up here!” Then they will go up into heaven in a cloud, while their enemies look on.
Ningĩ makĩigua mũgambo mũnene uumĩte igũrũ ũkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ambatai na gũkũ.” Nao makĩambata igũrũ marĩ itu-inĩ, thũ ciao imeroreire.
13 At that hour there will be a major earthquake, and a tenth part of the city will collapse. Seven thousand people will be killed in the earthquake, and the survivors will be terrified and give glory to the God of heaven.
Ithaa o rĩu-rĩ, gũkĩgĩa na gĩthingithia kĩnene, nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi gĩa itũũra rĩu gĩkĩmomoka. Andũ ngiri mũgwanja makĩũragwo nĩ gĩthingithia kĩu, nao arĩa maatigarire makĩmaka na makĩgooca Ngai wa igũrũ.
14 The second woe is past. Look! The third woe is coming quickly.
Haaro ya keerĩ nĩyathira, haaro ya gatatũ-rĩ, ĩgũũka o narua.
15 Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices spoke in heaven and said, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever.” (aiōn )
Nake mũraika wa mũgwanja akĩhuha karumbeta gake, nakuo gũkĩgĩa na mĩgambo mĩnene kũu igũrũ, nayo ĩkiuga atĩrĩ: “Ũthamaki wa thĩ nĩũtuĩkĩte ũthamaki wa Mwathani witũ, o na Kristũ wake, nake egũtũũra athamakaga nginya tene na tene.” (aiōn )
16 Then the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in the presence of God, fell upon their faces and worshiped God.
Nao athuuri arĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana, arĩa maaikarĩire itĩ ciao cia ũnene mbere ya Ngai, magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ makĩhooya Ngai,
17 They said, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.
makiuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩtwagũcookeria ngaatho, Mwathani Ngai, Wee Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o Wee ũrĩ ho, na nowe warĩ ho, tondũ nĩwoete hinya waku mũnene, ũkambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
18 The nations were enraged, but your wrath has come. The time has come for the dead to be judged and for you to reward your servants the prophets, those who are believers, and those who feared your name, both the unimportant and the mighty. The time has come for you to destroy those who are destroying the earth.”
Ndũrĩrĩ nacio nĩciarakarire; namo mangʼũrĩ maku nĩmakinyĩte. Hĩndĩ nĩnginyu ya andũ arĩa akuũ gũtuĩrwo ciira, o na ya kũhe anabii, ndungata ciaku, iheo, hamwe na arĩa aamũre, na arĩa metigĩrĩte rĩĩtwa rĩaku, arĩa anini na anene, o na ya kwananga arĩa manangaga thĩ.”
19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, crashes of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
Ningĩ hekarũ ya Ngai kũu igũrũ ĩkĩhingũrwo, na thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake gũkĩoneka ithandũkũ rĩrĩa rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake. Nakuo gũkĩgĩa na heni, na marurumĩ, na ngwa, na gĩthingithia, na mbura nene ya mbembe.
