Revelation 11
1 And there was given me a reed like a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it.
Kisha nikapewa mwanzi uliokuwa kama kijiti cha kupimia, nikaambiwa, “Inuka, ukalipime Hekalu la Mungu, madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani, na ukawahesabu watu wanaoabudu ndani ya Hekalu.
2 But the court which is without the temple, leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.
Lakini uache ukumbi ulio nje ya Hekalu; usiupime, maana huo umekabidhiwa watu wa mataifa mengine, ambao wataukanyanga mji Mtakatifu kwa muda wa miezi arobaini na miwili.
3 And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
Nami nitawatuma mashahidi wangu wawili ili watangaze ujumbe wa Mungu kwa muda huo wa siku elfu moja mia mbili na sitini wakiwa wamevaa mavazi ya magunia.”
4 These are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Hao mashahidi wawili ni miti miwili ya Mizeituni na taa mbili zinazosimama mbele ya Bwana wa dunia.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Kama mtu akijaribu kuwadhuru, moto hutoka kinywani mwao na kuwaangamiza adui zao; na kila mtu atakayejaribu kuwadhuru atakufa namna hiyo.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Hao wanayo mamlaka ya kufunga anga, mvua isinyeshe wakati wanapotangaza ujumbe wa Mungu. Tena wanayo mamlaka ya kuzigeuza chemchemi zote za maji ziwe damu, na ya kusababisha maafa ya kila namna duniani kila mara wapendavyo.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Lakini wakisha maliza kutangaza ujumbe huo, mnyama atokaye shimoni kuzimu atapigana nao, atawashinda na kuwaua. (Abyssos g12)
8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Maiti zao zitabaki katika barabara za mji mkuu ambapo Bwana wao alisulubiwa; jina la kupanga la mji huo ni Sodoma au Misri.
9 And they of the people, and kindreds, and languages, and nations, shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Watu wa kila kabila, lugha, taifa na rangi wataziangalia maiti hizo kwa muda wa siku tatu na nusu, na hawataruhusu zizikwe.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Watu waishio duniani watafurahia kifo cha hao wawili. Watafanya sherehe na kupelekeana zawadi maana manabii hawa wawili walikuwa wamewasumbua mno watu wa dunia.
11 And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them who saw them.
Lakini baada ya zile siku tatu na nusu pumzi ya uhai kutoka kwa Mungu iliwaingia, nao wakasimama; wote waliowaona wakaingiwa na hofu kuu.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them, Come up hither. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Kisha hao manabii wawili wakasikia sauti kubwa kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, “Njoni hapa juu!” Nao wakapanda juu mbinguni katika wingu, maadui wao wakiwa wanawatazama.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were killed of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Wakati huohuo, kukatokea tetemeko kubwa la ardhi, sehemu moja ya kumi ya ardhi ikaharibiwa. Watu elfu saba wakauawa kwa tetemeko hilo la ardhi. Watu waliosalia wakaogopa sana, wakamtukuza Mungu wa mbinguni.
14 The second woe is past; [and] behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Maafa ya pili yamepita; lakini tazama! Maafa ya tatu yanafuata hima.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he will reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Kisha malaika wa saba akapiga tarumbeta yake. Na sauti kuu zikasikika mbinguni zikisema, “Sasa utawala juu ya ulimwengu ni wa Bwana wetu na Kristo wake. Naye atatawala milele na milele!” (aiōn g165)
16 And the four and twenty elders, who sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God,
Kisha wale wazee ishirini na wanne walioketi mbele ya Mungu katika viti vyao vya enzi, wakaanguka kifudifudi, wakamwabudu Mungu,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
wakisema: “Bwana Mungu Mwenye uwezo, uliyeko na uliyekuwako! Tunakushukuru, maana umetumia nguvu yako kuu ukaanza kutawala!
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them who destroy the earth.
Watu wa mataifa waliwaka hasira, maana wakati wa ghadhabu yako umefika, wakati wa kuwahukumu wafu. Ndio wakati wa kuwatuza watumishi wako manabii, watu wako na wote wanaolitukuza jina lako, wakubwa kwa wadogo. Ni wakati wa kuwaangamiza wale wanaoangamiza dunia.”
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Hekalu la Mungu mbinguni likafunguliwa, na Sanduku la Agano lake likaonekana Hekaluni mwake. Kisha kukatokea umeme, sauti, ngurumo, tetemeko la ardhi, na mvua kubwa ya mawe.
