Ugubukulo 20
1 Kangi naweni mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, ihelela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga kuni akamwili muchiwoko chaki fungulu za ligodi langali mwishu na mnyololo uvaha. (Abyssos g12)
I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the deep dark pit, and he was carrying a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
2 Akalikamula liyoka lila, liyoka la kadeni lelikemiwa Mhakau amala Setani na kulikunga minyololo kwa miyaka elufu yimonga.
He seized the dragon. That dragon is the ancient serpent, the devil, that is, Satan. The angel bound him with the chain. That chain could not be loosed {[No one could loose] that chain} for 1,000 years.
3 Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akalitaga liyoka lila kuligodi langali mwishu, akadinda mlyangu wa kuyingila kwenuko na kuvika chidindilu cha mnemu muni likoto kuvayagisa kavili vandu va milima yingi mbaka miyaka elufu yimonga payitimila. Nambu payimalika yiganikiwa lidinduliwayi kavili, nambu mulukumbi luhupi ndu. (Abyssos g12)
The angel threw him into the deep dark pit. He shut [the door of the pit], locked it, and sealed it [to prevent anyone from opening it]. He did that in order that Satan might no longer deceive [the people of the] nations [MTY], until those 1,000 years are ended. After that [time], Satan must be released {[God/God’s angel] must release Satan} for a short time [in order that he can do what God has planned]. (Abyssos g12)
4 Kangi naviwene vigoda vya chinkosi na vandu vevatamili panani yaki, vandu avo vapewili uhotola wa uhamula. Nawene mewa mipungu ya vandu vevadumuliwi mitu, ndava ya vene kuvajovela vandu vangi mambu ga Yesu na kukokosa lilovi la Chapanga. Vandu ava vachigundamili lepi chinyama chila amala chimong'omong'o mewawa vavikiwi lepi ulangisu panani ya chiwungu chavi, amala panani ya mawoko gavi. Vapewili kavili wumi na kuvalongosa vandu pamonga na Kilisitu mulukumbi lwa miyaka elufu yimonga.
I saw thrones on which people were sitting. [They were given] {[God] gave those people} [authority] to judge [other people]. I also saw the souls [of people] whose heads had been {whose heads [others] had} cut off because of [their telling people about] Jesus and declaring God’s message. They were people who refused to worship the beast or its image, and who did not allow [the beast’s agents] to put the beast’s mark on them, either on their foreheads or on their hands. They became alive again, and they ruled with Christ [during those] 1,000 years.
5 Vandu vangi vevafwili, vapatili lepi wumi mbaka payatimili miyaka elufu yimonga. Wenuwo ndi uyukisu wa kutumbula.
They were the ones who lived again the first time [that God caused dead people] to live again. The rest of [the believers who] had died did not live again until after those 1,000 years.
6 Vamotisiwayi neju, na ndi vandu va Chapanga avo vevayukiswi hoti! Lifwa la pili changali uhotola panani yaki, yati vivya vamteta va Chapanga na va Kilisitu, vene yati vilongosa pamonga nayu ngati vankosi mulukumbi lwa miyaka elufu yimonga.
([God] will be pleased with/[How] happy will be) those who live again that first time. God will [consider] them holy. They will not die [PRS] a second time. Instead, they will be priests [who serve] God and Christ, and they will rule with [Christ] during those 1,000 years.
7 Lukumbi lwa miyaka elufu yimonga payitimila, Setani yati idinduliwa kuhumu muchifungu chaki.
When the 1,000 years are ended, Satan will be released {[God’s angel] will release Satan} from [the deep pit] in which he was imprisoned.
8 Mwene peihuma kuvala itumbula kugayagisa vandu vevayenili kila pandu pamilima, vandu avo ndi vikemelewa Gogu na Magogu. Setani yati akuvayola pamonga ndava ya ngondo vene yati vivya vamahele ngati msavati wa kumbwani.
He will go out to deceive [rebellious] people in nations [IDM] all over the earth. [These are the nations that the prophet Ezekiel called] Gog and Magog. Satan will gather them to fight against [God’s people]. There will be [so many of them fighting against God’s people that no one will be able to count them] [SIM], just like [no one can count the grains of] sand on the ocean shore.
9 Vapitili pamulima woha, vakayitindila kambi ya vandu va Chapanga na muji weakuugana Chapanga. Nambu motu wahelili kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, ukavatinyisa.
They will march over the whole earth and surround the camp of God’s people [in Jerusalem], the city that [God] loves. Then [God will send] fire down from heaven, and it will burn them up.
10 Na Mhakau mweavayagisi vandu, akatagwa mugati ya nyanja yeyimemili maganga ga baluti gegiyaka motu, na mugati chavi chinyama chikali chila na yula mlota wa udese, na vene voha yati ving'aiswa muhi na kilu na magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
The devil, who had deceived those people, will be thrown {[God’s angel] will throw the devil, who had deceived those people} into the lake of burning sulfur. [This is the same lake] into which both the beast and the false prophet had been [thrown] {[he] had [thrown] both the beast and the false prophet}. [As a result], they will continually suffer severely forever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
11 Kangi nachiwene chigoda cha unkosi chamsopi chivaha na yula mweatamili panani yaki. Mulima na kunani kwa Chapanga vyawukili palongolo yaki na pavi lepi pandu ndava yavi.
Then I saw a huge white throne on which [God] was sitting. He [was so awesome that] the earth and the sky disappeared from his presence completely; they were completely destroyed {[God] completely destroyed them}.
12 Nene navawene vandu vevafwili, vavaha na vadebe nambu vayimili palongolo ya chigoda cha unkosi. Chitabu chingi chagubukuliwi chenicho ndi chitabu cha wumi. Vandu vevafwili vahukumiwi ndava ya matendu gavi ngati cheiyandikwi muchitabu.
I saw that the people who had died [but now lived again] were standing in front of the throne. [They included people of] every social status! The books [in which God records what people do] were opened {[God/God’s angel] opened the books [in which God records what people do]}. Another book was opened {[He] opened another book}, which is [called the Book] of Life, [in which God has written the names of people who have eternal life]. [God] judged the people who had died [and now lived again] according to what they had done, just like [he] had recorded it in the books.
13 Nyanja yavahumisi vandu vevafwili vevavi mugati yaki. Lifwa na mulima wa vandu vevafwili zavahumisi vandu vevafwili vevavi mugati yaki. Vahukumiwi kila mmonga ndava ya matendu gaki. (Hadēs g86)
[The people whose bodies were buried in the] sea [became alive again in order to stand before God’s throne]. Everyone who had been buried on the land (OR, Every person who was waiting in the place where dead people stay) [became alive again, in order to stand before the throne]. [God] judged each one of them according to what each one had done. (Hadēs g86)
