Kũguũrĩrio 16
1 Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene ũkiuma thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, naguo ũkĩĩra araika acio mũgwanja atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi, mũkonorerie thĩ mbakũri icio mũgwanja cia mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai.”
Then I heard a loud voice coming from the Temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God's judgment on the earth.”
2 Nake mũraika wa mbere agĩthiĩ akĩonoreria mbakũri yake thĩ, nacio ironda njũru mũno irĩ ruo ikĩgĩa andũ arĩa maarĩ na rũũri rwa nyamũ ĩyo, na arĩa maahooyaga mũhiano wayo.
So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and terrible, painful sores broke out on those who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
3 Nake mũraika wa keerĩ akĩonoreria mbakũri yake iria-inĩ rĩrĩa inene, narĩo iria rĩu rĩkĩgarũrũka rĩgĩtuĩka ta thakame ya mũndũ mũkuũ, nakĩo kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo iria-inĩ rĩu gĩgĩkua.
The second poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse and everything living in the sea died.
4 Ningĩ mũraika wa gatatũ akĩonoreria mbakũri yake njũũĩ-inĩ na ithima-inĩ cia maaĩ, nacio igĩtuĩka thakame.
The third poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and the water turned into blood.
5 Ngĩcooka ngĩigua mũraika ũrĩa wathaga maaĩ akiuga atĩrĩ: “Wee ũrĩ na kĩhooto ũgĩtua matuĩro maya, Wee ũrĩa ũrĩ ho, na nowe warĩ ho, o Wee Mũtheru, tondũ wa gũtua ciira ũguo;
I heard the angel who had power over the waters declare, “You are truly right, you who are and was, the Holy One, as this judgment demonstrates.
6 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaitĩte thakame ya andũ aku aamũre, na ya anabii, nawe nĩũmaheete thakame manyue ta ũrĩa magĩrĩirwo.”
These people shed the blood of believers. Now you've given them blood to drink, as they deserve!”
7 Na ngĩigua kĩgongona gĩacookia atĩrĩ: “Ĩĩ nĩguo, Mwathani Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, matuĩro maku nĩ ma ma, na nĩ ma kĩhooto.”
I heard a voice from the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the All-powerful One, your judgments are right and true!”
8 Nake mũraika wa kana akĩonoreria mbakũri yake riũa-inĩ, narĩo riũa rĩkĩheo hinya wa gũcina andũ na mwaki.
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given the power to scorch people with fire.
9 Andũ magĩcinwo nĩ ũrugarĩ ũcio mũnene, nao magakĩrumaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai ũcio warĩ na hinya wa gwatha mĩthiro ĩyo, no matiigana kwĩrira mamũgooce.
They were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God who controlled these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.
10 Mũraika wa gatano akĩonoreria mbakũri yake gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa nyamũ ĩrĩa, naguo ũthamaki wayo ũkĩiyũra nduma. Nao andũ makĩĩrũma nĩmĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ruo,
The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the beast's throne, and darkness fell over his kingdom. The people bit their tongues because of the pain they felt,
11 na makĩruma Ngai wa igũrũ nĩ ũndũ wa ruo rũrĩa maiguaga na nĩ ũndũ wa ironda iria maarĩ nacio, no matiigana kwĩrira nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa meekĩte.
and they cursed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores, but they did not repent and stop what they were doing.
12 Nake mũraika wa gatandatũ akĩonoreria mbakũri yake rũũĩ-inĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Farati, namo maaĩ maruo makĩhwa nĩguo athamaki a kuuma mwena wa Irathĩro mathondekerwo njĩra.
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the mighty River Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that a way could be prepared for the kings that come from the east.
13 Ngĩcooka ngĩona maroho matatũ mooru maahaanaga ta ciũra; namo moimire kanua ka ndamathia, na makiuma kanua ka nyamũ ĩrĩa, na kanua-inĩ ka mũnabii ũrĩa wa maheeni.
Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.
14 Namo nĩmo maarĩ maroho ma ndaimono marĩa maringaga ciama, namo mathiiaga kũrĩ athamaki a thĩ yothe, nĩguo mamacookanĩrĩrie nĩ ũndũ wa mbaara ĩrĩa ĩkaarũo mũthenya ũcio mũnene wa Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
These are demonic spirits that perform miracles, going out to gather together all the kings of the whole world for the battle on God the All-powerful One's great day of judgment.
15 “Na rĩrĩ, ngũũka o ta mũici! Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũikaraga eiguĩte na agaikara ahaarĩirie nguo ciake, nĩgeetha ndakanae gũthiĩ njaga, nake aconorithio.”
(Pay attention! I will come like a thief. Blessed are those who keep watch, and have their clothes ready so that they don't have to go out naked and be embarrassed.)
16 Namo maroho macio magĩcookanĩrĩria athamaki handũ harĩa hetagwo na Kĩhibirania, Arimagedoni.
The evil spirits gathered the kings for battle at a place called Armageddon in Hebrew.
17 Nake mũraika wa mũgwanja akĩonoreria mbakũri yake rĩera-inĩ, na rĩrĩ, hekarũ thĩinĩ gũkiuma mũgambo mũnene uumĩte gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro ũcio nĩwarĩĩka!”
The seventh angel poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came from the Temple, from the throne, shouting out, “It's over!”
18 Gũgĩcooka gũkĩgĩa heni, na marurumĩ, na ngwa o na gĩthingithia kĩnene. Gũtirĩ kwagĩa gĩthingithia kĩngĩ kĩnene ta kĩu kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ kwagĩire andũ, nĩ ũrĩa gĩthingithia kĩu kĩarĩ kĩnene mũno.
Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, and a massive earthquake shook the earth. It was the worst earthquake that had ever happened since people lived there.
19 Narĩo itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩgĩatũkana njatũ ithatũ, namo matũũra ma ndũrĩrĩ makĩmomoka. Nake Ngai akĩririkana Babuloni itũũra rĩrĩa inene, na akĩrĩhe gĩkombe kĩaiyũrĩtio ndibei ya ũrũrũ wa mangʼũrĩ make.
The great city was split into three. The cities of the nations were destroyed. Babylon the great was remembered in God's presence so that she should be given the cup filled with the wine of his hostility.
20 Nacio icigĩrĩra ikĩũra ciothe, nacio irĩma ikĩaga gũcooka kuoneka.
All the islands vanished, and all the mountains disappeared.
21 Namo mahiga manene ma mbura ya mbembe, ma ũritũ wa ta kilo mĩrongo ĩtano o ihiga, makĩgwĩra andũ. Nao makĩruma Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa mũthiro ũcio wa mahiga ma mbura ya mbembe, tondũ mũthiro ũcio warĩ wa kũmakania mũno.
Huge hailstones, each one weighing one hundred pounds, rained down from the sky on people. The people cursed God because the plague of hail was so terrible.
