Ugubutulu 7
1 Pa aga nuwawona wantumintumi wa kumpindi wamsheshi wagoloka pakati pa pembi zya msheshi zya pasipanu, pawakola mayega ga msheshi ga pasipanu, su lyega nalivumi ata padidika, wala pakati pa pasipanu, wala mubahali, wala mumitera.
After this, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth, so that no wind should blow over the earth, or over the sea, or against any tree.
2 Shakapanu numwona ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yumonga pakakwena pampindi kulawa kusika, kaweriti na shimaniziru sha Mlungu yakawera mkomu. Kashemiti kwa liziwu likulu na kuwagambira awa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wamsheshi yawapananitwi uwezu wa kuyihalibisiya isi na ibahali.
And, in the east, I saw another angel, ascending, holding the seal of the living God; and he cried in a loud voice to the four angels, to whom there had been given power to harm the earth and the sea –
3 “Namuhalibisiya isi ama ibahali ama mitera, mpaka patuwatula kala shimaniziwu pashiwunji sha wantumintumi wa Mlungu gwetu.”
“Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
4 Shakapanu mpikanira walanga ya walii yawatulitwi shimaniziwu, wantu miya yimu malongu msheshi na msheshi elufu wa makabila goseri ga wantu wa Israeli.
I heard, too, the number of those who had been sealed. It was one hundred and forty-four thousand; and they were from every tribe of the Israelites.
5 Likabira lya Yuda wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na Likabira lya Rubeni wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na Likabira lya Gadi wantu lilongu na wawili elufu.
From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 Likabira lya Asheri wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na likabira lya Nafutari wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na likabira lya Manasi wantu lilongu na wawili elufu.
from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Napthali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 Likabira lya Simiyoni wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na likabira lya Lawi wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na likabira lya Isakari wantu lilongu na wawili elufu.
from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 Likabira lya Zebuluni wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na likabira lya Yosefu wantu lilongu na wawili elufu na likabira lya Benjamini wantu lilongu na wawili elufu.
from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 Shakapanu ndoliti, mwona lipinga likulu lya wantu wavuwa nentu yaguweza ndiri kuwawalanga, wantu wa kila isi na likabira na lukolu na ntambu wantu yawalonga na kila walongu. Nawomberi waweriti wagoloka palongolu pa shibanta sha ufalumi na palongolu pa Mwanakondolu, wavala mahabiti mafufu na kukola mitambi ya mitendi mumawoku mwawu.
After this, in my vision, I saw a vast throng which no one could number, of people from every nation and of all tribes, and peoples, and languages. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, robed in white, holding palm branches in their hands.
10 Watakuliti kwa liziwu likulu, “Ukombola wetu ulawa kwa Mlungu gwetu yakalivaga pashibanta sha ufalumi na kulawa kwa Mwanakondolu!”
And they are crying in a loud voice – “Salvation be ascribed to our God who is seated on his throne and to the Lamb.”
11 Wantumintumi wa kumpindi woseri wagolokiti kushizyengeta shibanta sha ufalumi, wazewi na vilii viwumbi vyamsheshi vyaviwera vikomu. Wasuntamiti makukama pashibanta sha ufalumi, wamguwiriti Mlungu
And all the angels were standing round the throne and the elders and the four creatures, and they prostrated themselves on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God,
12 pawalonga, “Yina hangu! Uzyumi na ukwisa na luhala na mayagashii na ligoya na uwezu na makakala viweri kwa Mlungu gwetu, mashaka goseri! Yina hangu!” (aiōn g165)
saying – “Amen. Blessing and praise, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.” (aiōn g165)
13 Yumu gwa wazewi walii kankosiyiti, “Walii yawavaliti mahabiti mafufu ndo wantu gaa? Na walawira koshi?”
Then one of the elders turned to me and said “Who are these who are robed in white? And where did they come from?”
14 Neni numwankuliti, “Mtuwa, gwenga guvimana!” Nayomberi kang'ambiriti, “Awa ndo walii yawalawiti pakati pa ntabika nkulu. Wagululiti mahabiti gawu mumwazi gwa Mwanakondolu, gawera mafufu nakamu.”
“My Lord,” I answered, “it is you who know.” “These,” he said, “are they who come through the Great Persecution; they washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Su wapalongolu pa shibanta sha ufalumi sha Mlungu. Wamtendera Mlungu paliwala na pashiru mnumba nkulu yakuwi ya kumpindi, nayomberi yakalivaga pashibanta sha ufalumi, hakaweri pamuhera nawu na kuwalolera.
And therefore it is that they are before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his Temple; and he who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
16 Hapeni wawoni njala kayi ama wawoni kuyimiluwa kayi, mshenji hapeni guwalunguziyi kayi, shivuki shikalipa hapeni shiwalunguziyi kayi,
Never again will they be hungry, never again will they be thirsty, nor will the sun smite them, nor any scorching heat;
17 toziya Mwanakondolu yakawera pakati palii pakwegera na shibanta sha ufalumi, hakaweri mlolera gwawu, nayomberi kankuwalongoziya mumbwiru ya mashi ga ukomu. Na Mlungu hakagapukuti masozi goseri mumasu gawu.
for the Lamb that stands in the space before the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to life-giving springs of water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
