< Okubikkulirwa 16 >
1 Awo ne mpulira eddoboozi ery’omwanguka okuva mu Yeekaalu nga ligamba bamalayika omusanvu nti, “Mugende muyiwe ku nsi ebibya omusanvu ebirimu ekiruyi kya Katonda.”
[In the vision] I heard [someone] in the temple speak in a loud voice to the angels [who had the seven bowls]. He said, “Go [from here] and pour out on the earth [the wine/liquid in] [MTY] the seven bowls. [This will show that] God is angry with [rebellious people and will punish them].”
2 Malayika eyasooka n’ava mu Yeekaalu n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku nsi. Awo amabwa amazibu ne gajja ne gakwata buli muntu eyalina akabonero k’ekisolo na buli eyasinzanga ekifaananyi kyakyo.
So the first angel went and poured out on the earth [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], horrible and painful sores broke out on God’s enemies who had allowed the beast’s [agents] to mark them and who worshipped the image of the beast.
3 Malayika owookubiri n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku nnyanja, amazzi ne gafuuka ng’omusaayi gw’omuntu amaze ekiseera ekitono ng’afudde. Ebiramu byonna ebyali mu nnyanja ne bifa.
The second angel poured out on the ocean [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], the [water in the ocean stank like the blood] of a person who has died. [And] [MTY] every living creature that was in the ocean died.
4 Malayika owookusatu n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku migga ne ku nsulo z’amazzi, byonna ne bifuuka ng’omusaayi.
The third angel poured out on the rivers and water springs [the wine/liquid] [MTY] [that was in] his bowl. [As a result, the water in the rivers and springs] turned into blood.
5 Ne mpulira malayika eyakola ku mazzi ng’ayogera nti, “Oli mutuukirivu, Ayi ggwe Omutukuvu, aliwo era eyaliwo, kubanga bw’otyo bwe wasala omusango.
I heard the angel [who has authority over] the waters say [to God], “[O God], you exist and have always existed. You are the holy one. You judge people justly.
6 Olw’okubanga baayiwa omusaayi gw’abatukuvu ne bannabbi, ogwo gwe musaayi gw’obawadde okunywa.”
[The rebellious people] murdered your holy people and prophets. So you are just in punishing them by giving them blood to drink. This is what they deserve!”
7 Awo ne mpulira ekyoto ng’akyogera nti, “Weewaawo Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna, ensala yo ya bwenkanya era ya mazima.”
Then I heard [an angel] respond [from] the altar [PRS], “Yes, Lord God, you who are almighty, you punish [people] rightly and justly!”
8 Awo malayika owookuna n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku njuba, n’evaamu omuliro ne gwokya abantu.
Then the fourth angel poured out on the sun [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [He] enabled the sun to scorch [people] with fiery [heat].
9 Abantu ne bookebwa omuliro ogwagivaamu ne bavvoola erinnya lya Katonda Omuyinza w’ebibonyoobonyo ebyo, ne bateenenya okukyuka okuliwa ekitiibwa.
Because people were severely burned by the intense heat {the intense heat severely burned people}, they said evil things about God [MTY], [because] he had the power [to strike people with] plagues like those. But they refused to stop their evil behavior and refused to honor him.
10 Awo malayika owookutaano n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku ntebe ey’obufuzi bw’ekisolo, obwakabaka bwakyo ne bujjula ekizikiza. N’abo be kifuga nabo obulumi ne bubalumya obujiji,
When the fifth angel poured out on the throne of the beast [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl, it became dark in the kingdom that the beast [ruled. As a result, the beast and the people whom it ruled] were biting their tongues because [they were suffering intense] pain.
11 ne bavvoola Katonda ow’eggulu olw’obulumi bwe baalimu, n’amabwa agaali gabaluma, naye ne bateenenya bikolwa byabwe ebibi.
They insulted God [who rules in] heaven, because their sores were so painful. But they refused to stop doing the [evil] things that they were doing.
12 Awo malayika ow’omukaaga n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku mugga omunene Fulaati ne gukalira, bakabaka ab’ebuvanjuba basobole okuyisaawo amaggye gaabwe.
The sixth angel poured out on the huge river Euphrates [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, the] water [in the river] was dried up so that the rulers from the eastern [MTY] [countries could cross it with their armies] [SYN].
13 Ne ndaba emyoyo egitali mirongoofu esatu nga gifaanana ng’ebikere nga giva mu kamwa k’ogusota, n’ak’ekisolo, n’aka nnabbi ow’obulimba.
I saw evil spirits that looked like frogs. One came out of the mouth of the dragon, one from the mouth of the beast, and one from the mouth of the false prophet.
14 Abo be baddayimooni abakozi b’ebyamagero abateesa n’abafuzi bonna ab’oku nsi okukuŋŋaana okulwana ne Katonda Ayinzabyonna ku lunaku olw’olutalo.
Those spirits were demons who were [able to] perform miracles. They went out to the rulers of the whole world, in order to gather their [armies] [SYN] together to the battle that [they will fight] on the wonderful day when Almighty God [punishes his enemies] [MTY].
15 “Laba, nzija ng’omubbi! Alina omukisa oyo alindirira n’akuuma ekyambalo kye nga kiyonjo, era taliyita bwereere, si kulwa ng’aswala.”
The evil spirits will gather the rulers at a place that is called in the Hebrew [language] Armageddon. [I heard the Lord Jesus say], “[You must] listen carefully to [me]: I am coming unexpectedly [SIM], like a thief. [So], I will be happy with those who stay alert and [keep on living righteously so that they will not be ashamed], just like [MET] a person keeps his clothes [on] so that he will not be ashamed [like a person who is] naked.”
16 Emyoyo egyo ne gibakuŋŋaanyiza mu kifo ekiyitibwa Magedoni mu Lwebbulaniya.
17 Awo malayika ow’omusanvu n’ayiwa ebyali mu kibya kye mu bbanga. Eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ne liva mu Yeekaalu mu ntebe y’obwakabaka nga lyogera nti, “Kiwedde.”
The seventh angel poured out into the air [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, someone] said with a loud voice from the throne in the temple, “[The time for God to finish punishing rebellious people] is [about to be] start.”
18 Awo ne walabika okumyansa kw’eggulu n’okubwatuka ne musisi ow’entiisa atabangawo ku nsi.
[When the angel emptied his bowl], lightning flashed, there were rumblings and thunder, and the earth shook. It shook more violently than it has ever shaken since people first [lived] on earth.
19 Ekibuga Babulooni ekikulu ne kyeyubuluzaamu ebitundu bisatu, n’ebibuga by’amawanga ne bigwa. Awo Babulooni ekikulu ne kijjukirwa mu maaso ga Katonda, era ne kiweebwa ekikompe ky’envinnyo eky’obukambwe bw’ekiruyi kya Katonda.
And [as a result], the very evil city [that is symbolized by Babylon] split into three parts. [God also] destroyed cities in [other] nations. God did not forget that [the people of] [MTY] the very evil [city symbolized by] Babylon [had sinned very much]. So he [caused the people with whom] he was furiously angry [MET] [to drink] a cup of very [poisonous wine/liquid that represented his punishment].
20 Buli kizinga ne kidduka era tewaali lusozi na lumu olwalabikako.
Also [as a result of the earthquake], every island disappeared, and the mountains became flat land.
21 N’omuzira ogw’amaanyi ne gugwa okuva mu ggulu, buli mpeke ng’obuzito bwayo buwera nga kilo amakumi ataano malamba ne gukuba abantu. Abantu ne bakolimira Katonda olw’ekibonyoobonyo ekyo eky’okukubibwa omuzira ogw’amaanyi era omuzito bwe gutyo.
Also [as a result of the angel’s emptying his bowl], huge hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, fell from the sky onto the people. Then people insulted God because [he had caused] the destructive hail to fall on them in that terrible plague.
