< Revelation 7 >
1 And after these things I saw four messengers, standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor upon 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 I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,
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 injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads.'
achiti: Musatadzira nyika, kana gungwa, kana miti, kusvikira taisa mucherechedzo varanda vaMwari wedu pahuma dzavo.
4 And I heard the number of those sealed, (one hundred and forty four thousands were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel):
Zvino ndakanzwa uwandu hwevakaiswa mucherechedzo: Zvuru zana nemakumi mana nezvina vakaiswa mucherechedzo kubva kumarudzi ese evana vaIsraeri.
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
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 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
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 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
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 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of 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 these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms 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 crying with a great voice, saying, 'The salvation [is] to Him who is sitting upon the throne — to our God, and to the Lamb!'
zvino vakadanidzira nenzwi guru, vachiti: Ruponeso ngaruve kuna Mwari wedu anogara pachigaro cheushe, nekuGwayana.
11 And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before God,
Zvino vatumwa vese vakamira vakakomba chigaro cheushe nevakuru nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina, vakawa pamberi pechigaro cheushe nezviso zvavo, ndokunamata Mwari,
12 saying, 'Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, [are] to our God — to the ages of the ages! Amen!' (aiōn )
vachiti: Ameni: Kurumbidzwa nekubwinya nenjere nekuvonga nerukudzo nesimba nemasimba ngazvive kuna Mwari wedu kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn )
13 And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, 'These, who have been arrayed with the white robes — who are they, and whence came they?'
Zvino umwe wevakuru wakapindura, achiti kwandiri: Ava vakapfeka nguvo refu chena ndivana ani, uye vakabvepi?
14 and I have said to him, 'Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, 'These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made 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 because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them;
Nekuda kweizvi vari pamberi pechigaro cheushe chaMwari, vanomushumira masikati neusiku mutembere yake; uye anogara pachigaro cheushe achatandavadza tende pamusoro pavo.
16 they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any heat,
Havachazombovi nenzara kana kuzombova nenyota, nezuva haringatongovawiri, kana kupisa kupi zvako;
17 because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'
nokuti Gwayana riri pakati pechigaro cheushe richavafunda, uye richavatungamirira kuzvitubu zvipenyu zvemvura; uye Mwari achapusika misodzi yese pameso avo.
