< Kũguũrĩrio 10 >
1 Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩona mũraika ũngĩ warĩ na hinya mũno agĩikũrũka oimĩte igũrũ. Nake ehumbĩte itu ta nguo, na igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wake haarĩ na mũkũnga-mbura; naguo ũthiũ wake wahaanaga ta riũa, namo magũrũ make maahaanaga ta itugĩ cia mwaki.
Then I saw another mighty angel, descending from Heaven. His robe was a cloud; over his head was the rainbow; his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;
2 Nake aanyiitĩte na guoko gwake kabuku kanini ga gĩkũnjo karĩ kahingũre. Aakinyithĩtie kũgũrũ gwake kwa ũrĩo iria-inĩ, nakuo kwa ũmotho agagũkinyithia thĩ nyũmũ,
in his hand he held a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land;
3 akĩgũthũka na mũgambo mũnene ta wa mũrũũthi ũkĩrarama. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aagũthũkire-rĩ, mĩgambo ya ngwa iria mũgwanja ĩkĩgamba.
and he cried in a loud voice like the roaring of a lion. At his cry the seven peals of thunder spoke, each with its own voice.
4 Na rĩrĩa ngwa icio mũgwanja ciagambire, ndaarĩ hakuhĩ kwandĩka; no ngĩigua mũgambo kuuma igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Mohoro macio maario nĩ ngwa icio mũgwanja-rĩ, maige marĩ hitho, ndũkamaandĩke.”
And, when they spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from Heaven say — ‘Keep secret what the seven peals of thunder said, and do not write it down.’
5 Nake mũraika ũcio ndonete arũgamĩte iria-inĩ na akarũgama thĩ nyũmũ agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo na igũrũ.
Then the angel, whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land, ‘raised his right hand to the heavens,
6 Nake akĩĩhĩta na ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo nginya tene na tene, o we ũrĩa wombire igũrũ na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo, na akĩũmba thĩ na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo, o na akĩũmba iria na indo ciothe iria irĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ na ihinda rĩngĩ rĩa gweterera!” (aiōn )
and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,’ that time should cease to be. (aiōn )
7 No matukũ-inĩ marĩa mũraika wa mũgwanja agaakorwo akiriĩ kũhuha karumbeta gake-rĩ, hitho ya Ngai nĩĩkahingio, o ta ũrĩa eerire anabii arĩa ndungata ciake.
Moreover at the time when the seventh angel shall speak, when he is ready to blow his blast, then the hidden purposes of God, of which he told the good news to his servants, the Prophets, are at once fulfilled.
8 Ningĩ mũgambo ũrĩa ndaiguĩte uumĩte igũrũ ũkĩnjarĩria rĩngĩ, ũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ: “Thiĩ, woe kabuku kau ga gĩkũnjo karĩa kahingũre kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũraika ũcio ũrũgamĩte akinyĩte iria, na agakinya thĩ nyũmũ.”
Then came the voice which I had heard from Heaven. It spoke to me again, and said — ‘Go and take the book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.’
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ngĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũraika, na ngĩmũũria aahe kabuku kau ga gĩkũnjo. Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Koe, ũkarĩe. Gaakinya nda nĩgegũkũrũrĩra, no karĩ kanua gegũkorwo karĩ na mũrĩo ta ũũkĩ!”
So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said ‘Take it, and eat it. It will be bitter to your stomach, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’
10 Ngĩkĩoya kabuku kau ga gĩkũnjo kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũraika ũcio, na niĩ ngĩkarĩa. Karĩ kanua kaarĩ na mũrĩo ta ũũkĩ, no ndarĩĩkia gũkarĩa, gakĩndũrĩra.
I took the little book out of the angel’s hand ‘and ate it, and, while in my mouth, it was like the sweetest honey’; but, when I had eaten it, it was bitter to my stomach.
11 Ngĩcooka ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũrathe ũhoro rĩngĩ ũkoniĩ andũ aingĩ, na ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, na thiomi nyingĩ, o na athamaki aingĩ.”
And I was told — ‘You must prophesy again about men of many peoples, and nations, and languages, and about many kings.’
