Revelation 10
1 Then I saw another strong angel coming down from Heaven. He was robed in a cloud, and over his head was the rainbow. His face was like the sun, and his feet resembled pillars of fire.
Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine mwenye nguvu akishuka kutoka mbinguni. Alikuwa amevikwa wingu, na upinde wa mvua kichwani mwake. Uso wake ulikuwa kama jua, na miguu yake ilikuwa kama moto.
2 In his hand he held a small scroll unrolled; and, planting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
Mikononi mwake alishika kitabu kidogo kimefunguliwa. Aliweka mguu wake wa kulia juu ya bahari, na wa kushoto juu ya nchi kavu,
3 he cried out in a loud voice which resembled the roar of a lion. And when he had cried out, each of the seven peals of thunder uttered its own message.
na kuita kwa sauti kubwa kama ya mngurumo wa simba. Alipopaaza sauti, ngurumo saba ziliitikia kwa kishindo.
4 And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write down what they had said; but I heard a voice from Heaven which told me to keep secret all that the seven peals of thunder had said, and not write it down.
Na hizo ngurumo saba ziliposema, mimi nikataka kuandika. Lakini nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni: “Maneno ya ngurumo hizo saba ni siri; usiyaandike!”
5 Then the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted his right hand toward Heaven.
Kisha yule malaika niliyemwona akisimama juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu akainua mkono wake wa kulia juu mbinguni,
6 And in the name of Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, the Creator of Heaven and all that is in it, of the earth and all that is in it, and of the sea and all that is in it, he solemnly declared, (aiōn g165)
akaapa kwa jina la Mungu aishiye milele na milele, Mungu aliyeumba mbingu na vyote vilivyomo, bahari na vyote vilivyomo, dunia na vyote vilivyomo. Akasema, “Wakati wa kusubiri zaidi umekwisha! (aiōn g165)
7 "There shall be no further delay; but in the days when the seventh angel blows his trumpet--when he begins to do so--then the secret purposes of God are realized, in accordance with the good news which He gave to His servants the Prophets."
Lakini wakati ule malaika wa saba atakapotoa sauti yake, wakati atakapopiga tarumbeta yake, Mungu atakamilisha mpango wake wa siri kama alivyowatangazia watumishi wake manabii.”
8 Then the voice which I had heard speaking from Heaven once more addressed me. It said, "Go and take the little book which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."
Kisha ile sauti niliyokuwa nimeisikia kutoka mbinguni pale awali ikasema nami tena: “Nenda ukakichukue kile kitabu kilichofunguliwa, kilicho mkononi mwa malaika asimamaye juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu.”
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. "Take it," he said, "and eat the whole of it. You will find it bitter when you have eaten it, although in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey."
Basi, nikamwendea huyo malaika, nikamwambia anipe hicho kitabu kidogo. Naye akaniambia, “Kichukue, ukile; kinywani mwako kitakuwa kitamu kama asali, lakini tumboni kitakuwa kichungu!”
10 So I took the roll out of the angel's hand and ate the whole of it; and in my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it I found it very bitter.
Basi, nikakichukua kitabu hicho kidogo kutoka mkononi mwa huyo malaika, nikakila; nacho kilikuwa kitamu kinywani mwangu kama asali, lakini nilipokimeza kikawa kichungu tumboni mwangu.
11 And a voice said to me, "You must prophesy yet further concerning peoples, nations, languages, and many kings."
Kisha nikaambiwa, “Inakubidi tena kutangaza ujumbe wa Mungu kuhusu watu wengi, mataifa, watu wa lugha nyingi na wafalme!”
