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 angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on the earth, on the sea, or on 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.
Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God. He cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and the sea:
3 “Mkotoka kuhalabisa mulima amala nyanja amala mikongo mbaka patimala kuvavika vidindilu muchiwungi cha vatumisi va Chapanga witu.”
“Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
4 Kangi, nikayuwana mvalangu ya vala vevavikiwi vidindilu vya Chapanga, vandu laki yimonga elufu alobaini na mcheche kuhuma mumakabila goha ga vandu va Isilaeli.
Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from 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,
From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from 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,
from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from 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,
from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from 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.
from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were 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 this I looked, and behold, there was a great multitude, which no one could number, from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes, with 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!”
They were crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to 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 angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped 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! Blessing, glory, and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor, power and strength, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn g165)
13 Kangi mmonga wa vagogo vala akanikota, “Venava vevawalili magwanda ga msopi ndi vandu vayani na vahumili koki?”
In response one of the elders said to me, “Who are these people clothed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
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.
I said to him, “Sir, yoʋ know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have broadened 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.
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 Njala yikuvavina lepi kavili, amala njota amala lilanga amala lupyupa likuvachona lepi kavili.
They will hunger and thirst no more; the sun will certainly not beat down upon them, nor will any scorching 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.”
for the Lamb in the midst of the throne shepherds them; he leads them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
