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)

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit and a great 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 primeval snake (who is the “devil” or “Satan”), and bound him in chains for a 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)

He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set his seal on it; that he should not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let loose for a 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.

Then I saw thrones, and to those who took their seats on them authority was given to act as judges. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony to Jesus and because of the message of God, for they had refused to worship the Beast or its image, and had not received the brand on their foreheads and on their hands. They were restored to life, and they reigned with the 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.

(The rest of the dead were not restored to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.

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 will he be who shares in that first resurrection. The second Death has no power over them; but they will be priests of God, and the Christ, and they will reign with him for the thousand years.

7 Mgbe puku afọ ahụ gafesịrị, a ga-emekwa ka ekwensu si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ya pụta.

When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose 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 he will come out to deceive the nations that live in the four corners of the earth – Gog and Magog. He will come to gather them together for battle; and their number will be as great as the sand on the sea-shore.

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 went up over the breadth of the whole earth, and surrounded the camp of Christ’s people and the city that he loves. Then fire fell from the heavens and consumed them;

10 Mgbe ahụ, ekwensu ahụ dufuru ha ka a ga-atụnye nʼọdọ ọkụ e ji nkume na-enwu ọkụ kwanye. Ebe ahụ ka ọ ga-anọ, ya na anụ ọhịa ọjọọ ahụ, na onye amụma ụgha ya. Ha ga-anọkwa nʼọnọdụ ahụ mgbu ehihie na abalị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

and the devil, their deceiver, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the Beast and the false prophet already were, and they will be tortured day and night for ever and ever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

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 great white throne, and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence; no place was left for them.

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.

And I saw the dead, high and low, standing before the throne; and books were opened. Then another book was opened, the book of life; and the dead were judged, according to their actions, by what was written in the books.

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 gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. (Hadēs g86)

14 Emesịa, a tụnyere ọnwụ na ọkụ ala mmụọ nʼime ọdọ ọkụ ahụ. Nke a bụ ọnwụ nke ugboro abụọ nke bụ ọdọ ọkụ. (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

Then Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the Second Death – the lake of fire; (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

15 Onye ọbụla a na-achọtaghị ebe e dere aha ya nʼakwụkwọ nke ndụ ahụ, ka a tụnyere nʼime ọdọ ọkụ ahụ. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

and all whose names were not found written in the book of life were hurled into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
