Mkpughe 20
1 Mgbe ahụ kwa, ahụrụ m otu mmụọ ozi ka o si nʼeluigwe na-arịdata, o ji mkpisi igodo e ji atụghe olulu Abis ahụ. O jikwa eriri igwe dị ukwuu nʼaka ya. (Abyssos g12)
I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding the key of the Abyss and a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
2 O jidere agwọ ochie ahụ, bụ agwọ ochie ahụ, onye bụ Ekwensu na Setan, kee ya agbụ otu puku afọ.
He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him in chains for one thousand years.
3 Emesịa, a tụnyere ya nʼime olulu Abis ahụ, tụchie ụzọ ya. Ọ kakwara akara nʼelu ya ka agwọ ochie ahụ hapụ inwekwa ike iduhie mba niile dị nʼụwa ọzọ tutu ruo mgbe puku afọ gasịrị. Mgbe afọ ndị a zuru, a ga-atọghepụ ya ka ọ gagharịa nwantịntị oge. (Abyssos g12)
The angel threw him into the Abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would no longer be able to deceive the nations until the thousand years were over. After that he has to be set free for a little while. (Abyssos g12)
4 Mgbe ahụ, ahụkwara m ocheeze, hụkwa ndị nọ nʼelu ya. Ha bụ ndị e nyere ike ikpe ikpe. Ahụkwara m mkpụrụobi ndị ahụ e bepụrụ isi nʼihi na ha gbaara Jisọs akaebe, kwusakwa okwu Chineke. Ha akpọbeghị isiala nye anụ ọhịa ahụ maọbụ ihe oyiyi ya. Ha enweghị akara anụ ọhịa ahụ nʼegedege ihu ha, maọbụ nʼaka ha. Ha dịkwa ndụ ọzọ, sorokwa Kraịst chịa otu puku afọ.
I saw people sitting on thrones who had been given the responsibility to judge, and the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for sharing the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image, nor had they received the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 Nke a bụ mbilite nʼọnwụ nke mbụ. Ndị fọdụrụ nʼetiti ndị nwụrụ anwụ esoghị bilite nʼọnwụ tutu ruo mgbe puku afọ gafesịrị.
This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years had ended.)
6 Ndị a gọziri agọzi na ndị dị nsọ bụ ndị ahụ ketara oke na mbilite nʼọnwụ nke mbụ ahụ. Ọnwụ nke abụọ enweghị ike nʼebe ha nọ, nʼihi na ha ga-abụ ndị nchụaja Chineke na nke Kraịst, sorokwa ya chịa ọchịchị puku afọ.
Blessed and holy are those who take part in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them. They will be priests of God, and of Christ, and they will reign with him for one thousand years.
7 Mgbe puku afọ ahụ gafesịrị, a ga-emekwa ka ekwensu si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ya pụta.
Once the thousand years are over, Satan will be set free from his prison,
8 Ọ ga-apụkwa jegharịa iduhie mba niile nọ nʼakụkụ anọ nke ụwa, ya bụ Gog na Magog, ọ ga-akpọkọta ha maka agha. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dịka aja dị nʼikpere osimiri.
and will go out to deceive the nations, symbolized by Gog and Magog, to gather them together for battle from the four corners of the world. Their number is as uncountable as sand on the seashore.
9 Ha biliri agha guzo nʼụwa niile, gbaa ụlọ ikwu nke ndị nsọ Chineke hụrụ nʼanya gburugburu. Ma ọkụ sitere nʼeluigwe gbadata repịa ha.
They marched over the earth on a broad front and encircled the camp of the believers, the beloved city. But fire rained down from heaven and burned them up.
11 Ahụkwara m otu ocheeze ọcha buru ibu, na onye nọkwasịrị nʼelu ya. Ụwa na mbara eluigwe si nʼihu ya gbapụ, ahụkwaghị ebe ọbụla nye ha.
Then I saw a large white throne with the one who sits on it. Heaven and earth vanished, and they were never seen again.
12 Ahụrụ m ndị niile nwụrụ anwụ, ndị ukwu na ndị nta, ka ha guzo nʼihu ocheeze ahụ. E meghere akwụkwọ dị iche iche, meghekwa akwụkwọ ọzọ, nke bụ akwụkwọ nke ndụ. E sitekwara nʼihe niile e dere nʼakwụkwọ ahụ kpee ndị a niile nwụrụ anwụ ikpe dịka ọrụ ha rụrụ si dị.
I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened. Another book, the Book of Life, was opened and the dead were judged based on what was written in the books about what they had done.
13 Oke osimiri niile nyeghachiri ndị niile nwụrụ nọ nʼime ha. Otu a kwa, ọnwụ na ala mmụọ nyeghachikwara ndị nwụrụ anwụ dị nʼime ha. E kpekwara onye ọbụla ikpe dịka ọrụ ya si dị. (Hadēs g86)
The sea handed over the dead in it, and death and Hades handed over the dead that were in them, and everyone was judged according to what they had done. (Hadēs g86)
