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.
[In the vision] I saw another mighty angel that was coming down out of heaven. A cloud [surrounded him]. There was a rainbow over his head. His face [shone] [SIM] like the sun. His legs looked 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.
He had in his hand a small scroll that was open. He set his right foot on the ocean 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.
He shouted something with a loud voice, a voice like the roar of a lion. When he shouted this, it thundered seven [times], speaking [words that I could understand].
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.”
When it thundered [like that], I was about to write [the words that I] heard, but a voice from heaven said to me, “Keep secret what the thunder said! 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 whom I had seen standing on the ocean and the land raised his right hand toward 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 he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (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.”
He said that when the time [came] for the seventh angel to blow his trumpet, [he] would complete what God had secretly planned, just like he announced [long ago] 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.”
The one whose voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. He said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the ocean 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 to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. In your mouth it will [taste] sweet like honey, but it will make your stomach bitter.”
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.
I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. In my mouth it [tasted] sweet like honey, but when I had eaten it, [it] made my stomach turn sour.
11 Ne baŋŋamba nti, “Kikugwanidde okuwa obunnabbi nate ku mawanga, n’ensi, n’ennimi ne bakabaka bangi.”
The one whose [voice spoke from heaven said to me], “You must (prophesy again/proclaim again what I will reveal to you) about many people-[groups], many nations, [speakers of] many languages [MTY], and many kings.”
