Ugubukulo 7
1 Pagamaliki genago navawene vamitumu va kunani mcheche vayimili mupandi mcheche za mulima, vidivalila vimbunga kuhuma pandi mcheche za pamulima muni chikoto kubuma hata padebe, pamulima amala munyanja amala mumikongo.
After this, I saw four messengers, standing at the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the land, or upon the sea, or upon any tree.
2 Kangi namuwene mtumu yungi wa kunani ikwela kunani kuhuma kwelitipama lilanga kuni akamwili ulangisu wa Chapanga mweavi mumi. Akakwesa lwami na kuvajovela vamitumu avo mcheche vevagotoliwi uhotola kuhalabisa mulima na nyanja.
And I saw another messenger, ascending from the rising of the sun, holding the seal of the Living God; and he cried out with a loud voice unto the four messengers unto whom it had been given to injure the land and the sea,
3 “Mkotoka kuhalabisa mulima amala nyanja amala mikongo mbaka patimala kuvavika vidindilu muchiwungi cha vatumisi va Chapanga witu.”
saying—Do not injure the land, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.
4 Kangi, nikayuwana mvalangu ya vala vevavikiwi vidindilu vya Chapanga, vandu laki yimonga elufu alobaini na mcheche kuhuma mumakabila goha ga vandu va Isilaeli.
And I heard the number of the sealed, —a hundred and forty-four thousand, —sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: —
5 Likabila la Yuda, vandu elufu kumi vevavikili vidindilu vya mnemu, likabila la Lubeni vandu elufu kumi na mbili na vandu va likabila la Gadi vavili elufu kumi na mbili vevavikiwi ulangisu,
Of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand sealed, of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,
6 likabila la Asheli vandu elufu kumi na zivili na kabila Nafutali vandu elufu kumi na zivili na kabila la Menasi vandu elufu kumi zivili,
Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,
7 likabila la Simioni vandu elufu kumi na zivili na likabila la Lawi vandu elufu kumi na zivili na likabila la Isakali vandu elufu kumi na zivili,
Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,
8 likabila la Zebuloni vandu elufu kumi na zivili na likabila la Yosefu vandu elufu kumi na zivili na likabila la Benjamini vandu elufu kumi na zivili.
Of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand, sealed.
9 Kangi nikalola, nauwene msambi mvaha wa vandu vangavalangika, vandu kuhuma kila langi na vandu va kila lukolo mulima vandu chevilongela. Vene vayimili palongolo ya chigoda cha unkosi na palongolo ya Mwanalimbelele, vawalili ligwanda la msopi na kukamula matutu ga mavali mu mawoko gavi.
After these things, I saw, and lo! a great multitude, —which, to number it! no one was able, —of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and palm-branches in their hands; —
10 Vandu vala vakakwesa lwami vakajova, “Usangula witu wihuma kwa Chapanga witu, mweitama panani ya chigoda cha unkosi na kuhuma Mwanalimbelele!”
and they cry out with a loud voice, saying—Salvation unto our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb!
11 Vamitumu va kunani voha vakayima kuchitindila chigoda cha unkosi na vagogo na vala viumbi wumi mcheche. Vakagwa chakukupama palongolo ya chigoda unkosi, vakamuyupa Chapanga,
And, all the messengers, were standing round about the throne and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God,
12 vijova, “Ena! Ulumba na ukulu na luhala na sengusa na utopesa na uhotola na makakala vivya kwa Chapanga witu, magono na magono gangali mwishu! Ena!” (aiōn g165)
saying—Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might, —be unto our God, unto the ages of ages. [Amen]! (aiōn g165)
13 Kangi mmonga wa vagogo vala akanikota, “Venava vevawalili magwanda ga msopi ndi vandu vayani na vahumili koki?”
And one of the elders began, saying unto me—These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they?
14 Namyangwili, “Bambu wangu veve ndi wimanya!” Mwene akanijovela, “Ava ndi vala vevayombwiki na kulama mu mang'ahiso gakulu, vevachapili magwanda gavi na kugakita ga msopi mu ngasi ya Mwanalimbelele.
And I at once said to him—My lord! thou, knowest! And he said unto me—These, are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb;
15 Ndi muni vavi palongolo ya chigoda cha unkosi wa Chapanga vakumuhengela muhi na kilu mu Nyumba yaki. Na yula mweitama panani ya chigoda yati itama navo na kuvayunga.
For this cause, are they before the throne of God, and are rendering divine service unto him, day and night, in his sanctuary; and he that sitteth upon the throne shall spread his tent over them;
16 Njala yikuvavina lepi kavili, amala njota amala lilanga amala lupyupa likuvachona lepi kavili.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither in any wise shall the sun fall upon them, nor any burning heat;
17 Ndava Mwanalimbelele mweavi pagati ya chigoda cha unkosi, akuvayunga na kuvalongosa kuchinyepa cha manji ga wumi. Na Chapanga mwene akuvahungula maholi gavi goha.”
Because, the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne, shall shepherd them, and shall lead them unto life’s fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear out of their eyes.
