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.
I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet 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 little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left 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 cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered 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.”
When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.”
5 Awo malayika gwe nalaba ng’ayimiridde ku nnyanja ne ku lukalu n’ayimusa omukono gwe ogwa ddyo eri eggulu,
The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky
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 the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will 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 in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared 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 voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands 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.”
I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your 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.
I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
11 Ne baŋŋamba nti, “Kikugwanidde okuwa obunnabbi nate ku mawanga, n’ensi, n’ennimi ne bakabaka bangi.”
They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
