Kũguũrĩrio 15
1 Ngĩcooka ngĩona ũrirũ ũngĩ mũnene na wa kũgegania kũu igũrũ: ndonire araika mũgwanja makuuĩte mĩthiro mũgwanja ya mũthia. Mĩthiro ĩyo nĩyo yarĩ ya kũrĩkĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai.
Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
2 Ngĩcooka ngĩona kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ta iria rĩa gĩcicio gĩtukanĩtio na mwaki, na ngĩcooka ngĩona arĩa maatooretie nyamũ ĩrĩa na mũhiano wayo, na namba ya rĩĩtwa rĩayo, marũgamĩte rũtere-inĩ rwa iria rĩu. Nao maanyiitĩte inanda cia mũgeeto iria maaheetwo nĩ Ngai,
I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
3 nao maainaga rwĩmbo rwa Musa ũrĩa ndungata ya Ngai, na rwĩmbo rwa Gatũrũme, makoiga atĩrĩ: “Maũndũ maku marĩa wĩkĩte nĩ manene na ma kũgegania, Wee Mwathani Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe. Njĩra ciaku nĩ cia kĩhooto na nĩ cia ma, Wee Mũthamaki wa mĩndĩ na mĩndĩ.
They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
4 Nũũ ũtangĩgwĩtigĩra, na agoocithie rĩĩtwa rĩaku, wee Mwathani? Nĩgũkorwo Wee wiki nĩwe Mũtheru. Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩigooka ihooe irĩ mbere yaku, nĩgũkorwo ciĩko ciaku cia ũthingu nĩiguũrĩtio.”
O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
5 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio nĩndarorire, na ngĩona hekarũ kũu igũrũ, ĩrĩa arĩ hema nyamũre ya Ũira, nayo ikĩhingũrwo.
After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
6 Nao araika mũgwanja arĩa maarĩ na mĩthiro ĩrĩa mũgwanja makiuma kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ĩyo. Nao meehumbĩte nguo cia gatani ĩrĩa theru yahenagia, na makeyoha mĩcibi ya thahabu ithũri-inĩ ciao.
The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩũmbe kĩmwe gĩa ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo-rĩ, gĩkĩnengera araika acio mũgwanja mbakũri mũgwanja cia thahabu, ciyũrĩtio mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo tene na tene. (aiōn g165)
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
8 Nayo hekarũ ĩkĩiyũra ndogo yumĩte riiri-inĩ wa Ngai na thĩinĩ wa hinya wake, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire gũtoonya hekarũ ĩyo nginya mĩthiro ĩyo mũgwanja ya araika acio mũgwanja ĩrĩkĩrĩre.
The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
