< 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.
And after these things I saw four messengers, standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor upon 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 I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,
3 “Namuhalibisiya isi ama ibahali ama mitera, mpaka patuwatula kala shimaniziwu pashiwunji sha wantumintumi wa Mlungu gwetu.”
'Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon 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.
And I heard the number of those sealed, (one hundred and forty four thousands were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel):
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.
of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
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.
of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
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.
of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
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.
of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of 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 these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands,
10 Watakuliti kwa liziwu likulu, “Ukombola wetu ulawa kwa Mlungu gwetu yakalivaga pashibanta sha ufalumi na kulawa kwa Mwanakondolu!”
and crying with a great voice, saying, 'The salvation [is] to Him who is sitting upon the throne — to our God, 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 messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before 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 )
saying, 'Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, [are] to our God — to the ages of the ages! Amen!' (aiōn )
13 Yumu gwa wazewi walii kankosiyiti, “Walii yawavaliti mahabiti mafufu ndo wantu gaa? Na walawira koshi?”
And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, 'These, who have been arrayed with the white robes — who are they, and whence came they?'
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.”
and I have said to him, 'Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, 'These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made 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.
because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them;
16 Hapeni wawoni njala kayi ama wawoni kuyimiluwa kayi, mshenji hapeni guwalunguziyi kayi, shivuki shikalipa hapeni shiwalunguziyi kayi,
they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any 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.
because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'
