Okubikkulirwa 10
1 Ne ndaba malayika omulala ow’amaanyi ng’akka okuva mu ggulu nga yeetooloddwa ekire, ng’ayambadde musoke ku mutwe gwe; amaaso ge nga gaakaayakana ng’enjuba ate ebigere bye nga byaka ng’omuliro.
Then I saw a mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.
2 Yali alina mu ngalo ze omuzingo gw’ekitabo omutono ng’agwanjuluzza, n’ateeka ekigere kye ekya ddyo ku nnyanja ate ekya kkono n’akiteeka ku lukalu.
In his hand he held an open scroll. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3 N’aleekaana mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nga liri ng’okuwuluguma kw’empologoma. Ne wabaawo n’okubwatuka kwa mirundi musanvu olw’eddoboozi eryo.
and cried out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.
4 Ebibwatuka omusanvu bwe byayogera, nnali n’atera okuwandiika, ne mpulira eddoboozi eryava mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, “Teeka akabonero ku ebyo ebibwatuka omusanvu bye byogedde, so tobiwandiika.”
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
5 Awo malayika gwe nalaba ng’ayimiridde ku nnyanja ne ku lukalu n’ayimusa omukono gwe ogwa ddyo eri eggulu,
Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
6 n’alayira Oyo omulamu abeerera emirembe gyonna, eyatonda eggulu n’ebintu byonna ebirimu, n’atonda n’ensi n’ebintu byonna ebigirimu, n’atonda n’ennyanja ne byonna ebigirimu, ng’agamba nti, “Tewaliba kulwa nate. (aiōn g165)
and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it, and said that there would no longer be delay, (aiōn g165)
7 Naye mu nnaku ez’eddoboozi lya malayika ow’omusanvu, bw’aliba anaatera okufuuwa ekkondeere, ekyama kya Katonda kiribikkulwa, nga bwe yabuulira abaddu be, bannabbi.”
but that in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God would be completed, according to the good news he announced to his servants the prophets.
8 Eddoboozi lye nnawulira nga liva mu ggulu, ne liddamu ne liŋŋamba nti, “Twala omuzingo gw’ekitabo nga mubikkule okuva mu mukono gwa malayika ayimiridde ku nnyanja ne ku lukalu.”
Then the voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9 Ne ŋŋenda eri malayika ne mugamba ampe omuzingo gw’ekitabo ogwo omutono. N’aŋŋamba nti, “Gutwale ogulye; mu kamwa ko guliwoomerera ng’omubisi gw’enjuki, naye guligulumbya olubuto lwo.”
So I went over to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take the scroll and eat it. It will make yoʋr stomach bitter, but in yoʋr mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
10 Ne nziggya omuzingo ogwo omutono mu mukono gwa malayika ne ngulya, ne gumpomera ng’omubisi gw’enjuki, naye bwe nagumira ne gugulumbya olubuto lwange.
So I took the scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. In my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.
11 Ne baŋŋamba nti, “Kikugwanidde okuwa obunnabbi nate ku mawanga, n’ensi, n’ennimi ne bakabaka bangi.”
Then I was told, “Yoʋ must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
