Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and lo, a lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him a hundred [and] forty four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Kisha nikatazama na hapo mbele yangu alikuwepo Mwana-Kondoo, akiwa amesimama juu ya Mlima Sayuni. Pamoja naye walikuwa wale 144,000 wenye Jina la Mwana-Kondoo na Jina la Baba yake likiwa limeandikwa kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Nami nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni kama sauti ya maji mengi yaendayo kwa kasi na sauti kama ngurumo ya radi. Sauti hiyo niliyoisikia ilikuwa kama sauti ya wapiga vinubi wakipiga vinubi vyao.
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth.
Nao wakaimba wimbo mpya mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi na mbele ya wale viumbe wanne wenye uhai na wale wazee. Hakuna mtu yeyote aliyeweza kujifunza wimbo huo isipokuwa hao 144,000 waliokuwa wamekombolewa kutoka duniani.
4 These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the first-fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Hawa ndio wale ambao hawakujitia unajisi kwa wanawake, kwa kuwa wao ni bikira. Wao humfuata Mwana-Kondoo kila aendako. Hawa wamekombolewa kutoka miongoni mwa wanadamu wakawa malimbuko kwa Mungu na kwa Mwana-Kondoo.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Vinywani mwao hapakuonekana uongo, wala hawakuwa na hatia yoyote.
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and language, and people, (aiōnios g166)
Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine akiruka juu angani, naye alikuwa na Injili ya milele ya kuwatangazia wale waishio duniani, yaani, kwa kila taifa, kabila, lugha na jamaa. (aiōnios g166)
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Akasema kwa sauti kubwa, “Mcheni Mungu na kumpa utukufu, kwa maana saa ya hukumu yake imewadia. Mwabuduni yeye aliyeziumba mbingu, dunia, bahari na chemchemi za maji.”
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her lewdness.
Malaika wa pili akafuata akisema, “Umeanguka! Umeanguka Babeli Mkuu, ule uliyafanya mataifa yote kulewa kwa mvinyo wa ghadhabu ya uasherati wake.”
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worshipeth the beast and his image, and receiveth [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Malaika wa tatu akawafuata hao wawili akisema kwa sauti kubwa, “Kama mtu yeyote anamwabudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake na kutiwa chapa yake kwenye kipaji chake cha uso au kwenye mkono wake,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
yeye pia atakunywa mvinyo wa hasira kali ya Mungu ambayo imemiminwa katika kikombe cha ghadhabu yake pasipo kuchanganywa na maji. Naye atateswa kwa moto uwakao na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu na mbele za Mwana-Kondoo.
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn g165)
Nao moshi wa mateso yao hupanda juu milele na milele. Hakuna mapumziko, mchana wala usiku, kwa wale wamwabuduo huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, au kwa yeyote anayepokea chapa ya jina lake.” (aiōn g165)
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Hapa ndipo penye wito wa subira na uvumilivu wa watakatifu; wale wanaozishika amri za Mungu na kudumu katika uaminifu kwa Yesu.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Verily, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works follow them.
Kisha nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Andika: Wamebarikiwa wafu wafao katika Bwana tangu sasa.” “Naam,” asema Roho, “watapumzika kutoka taabu zao, kwa kuwa matendo yao yatawafuata.”
14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] sat like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Nikatazama, hapo mbele yangu palikuwa na wingu jeupe, na aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya hilo wingu alikuwa “kama Mwana wa Adamu” mwenye taji ya dhahabu kichwani mwake na mundu mkali mkononi mwake.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
Kisha malaika mwingine akaja kutoka hekaluni naye akamwita kwa sauti kubwa yule aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya lile wingu akasema, “Chukua mundu wako ukavune kwa kuwa wakati wa mavuno umewadia, kwa maana mavuno ya dunia yamekomaa.”
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Hivyo yule aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya lile wingu akauzungusha mundu wake duniani, nayo dunia ikavunwa.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Malaika mwingine akatoka katika hekalu lililoko mbinguni, naye pia alikuwa na mundu mkali.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Kisha malaika mwingine, aliyekuwa na mamlaka juu ya moto, akatoka kwenye madhabahu, naye akamwita yule malaika mwenye mundu mkali kwa sauti kubwa, akisema, “Chukua mundu wako mkali ukakusanye vichala vya mizabibu ya dunia, maana zabibu zake zimeiva.”
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great wine-press of the wrath of God.
Hivyo yule malaika akauzungusha mundu wake duniani na kukusanya zabibu za dunia na kuzitupa kwenye shinikizo kubwa la ghadhabu ya Mungu.
20 And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the wine-press, even to the horses' bridles, by the space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.
Lile shinikizo likakanyagwa nje ya mji, nayo damu ikatiririka kama mafuriko kutoka hilo shinikizo kufikia kimo cha hatamu za farasi, kwa umbali wa maili 200.
