Ufunuo 14
1 Kisha nikatazama na hapo mbele yangu alikuwepo Mwana-Kondoo, akiwa amesimama juu ya Mlima Sayuni. Pamoja naye walikuwa wale 144,000 wenye Jina la Mwana-Kondoo na Jina la Baba yake likiwa limeandikwa kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao.
And I looked, and lo, there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with were a hundred and forty and four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
2 Nami nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni kama sauti ya maji mengi yaendayo kwa kasi na sauti kama ngurumo ya radi. Sauti hiyo niliyoisikia ilikuwa kama sauti ya wapiga vinubi wakipiga vinubi vyao.
And I heard a voice from heaven like the voice of many waters, and the voice of a great thunder; and I heard the voice of harpers harping on their harps.
3 Nao wakaimba wimbo mpya mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi na mbele ya wale viumbe wanne wenye uhai na wale wazee. Hakuna mtu yeyote aliyeweza kujifunza wimbo huo isipokuwa hao 144,000 waliokuwa wamekombolewa kutoka duniani.
They were singing a new song before the throne, and before the four Living Creatures and the Elders; and none can learn that song, except the one hundred and forty and four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth.
4 Hawa ndio wale ambao hawakujitia unajisi kwa wanawake, kwa kuwa wao ni bikira. Wao humfuata Mwana-Kondoo kila aendako. Hawa wamekombolewa kutoka miongoni mwa wanadamu wakawa malimbuko kwa Mungu na kwa Mwana-Kondoo.
These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are celibates. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed from among men to be the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb.
5 Vinywani mwao hapakuonekana uongo, wala hawakuwa na hatia yoyote.
No lie was ever found on their lips; they are spotless.
6 Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine akiruka juu angani, naye alikuwa na Injili ya milele ya kuwatangazia wale waishio duniani, yaani, kwa kila taifa, kabila, lugha na jamaa. (aiōnios g166)
Then I saw another angel who was flying in mid-heaven. He had an eternal evangel, to evangelize all the dwellers on the earth, of every nation and tribe and tongue and people. (aiōnios g166)
7 Akasema kwa sauti kubwa, “Mcheni Mungu na kumpa utukufu, kwa maana saa ya hukumu yake imewadia. Mwabuduni yeye aliyeziumba mbingu, dunia, bahari na chemchemi za maji.”
And he cried with a loud voice. "Fear God and give him glory, Because the hour of his judgment is come. And worship Him who made the heavens and the earth And the sea and springs of waters."
8 Malaika wa pili akafuata akisema, “Umeanguka! Umeanguka Babeli Mkuu, ule uliyafanya mataifa yote kulewa kwa mvinyo wa ghadhabu ya uasherati wake.”
Then a second angel followed, crying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, Who has made all the nations drink the wine Of the frenzy of her fornication."
9 Malaika wa tatu akawafuata hao wawili akisema kwa sauti kubwa, “Kama mtu yeyote anamwabudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake na kutiwa chapa yake kwenye kipaji chake cha uso au kwenye mkono wake,
And another angel, a third, followed them, crying with a mighty voice. "Whoever worships the beast and his image, And receives a brand on his forehead or on his hand,
10 yeye pia atakunywa mvinyo wa hasira kali ya Mungu ambayo imemiminwa katika kikombe cha ghadhabu yake pasipo kuchanganywa na maji. Naye atateswa kwa moto uwakao na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu na mbele za Mwana-Kondoo.
He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, Poured out unmixed in the cup of his anger; And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone In the presence of the holy angels, And in the presence of the Lamb,
11 Nao moshi wa mateso yao hupanda juu milele na milele. Hakuna mapumziko, mchana wala usiku, kwa wale wamwabuduo huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, au kwa yeyote anayepokea chapa ya jina lake.” (aiōn g165)
And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; And they have no rest day or night, Who worship the beast and his image, And all who receive the brand of his name." (aiōn g165)
12 Hapa ndipo penye wito wa subira na uvumilivu wa watakatifu; wale wanaozishika amri za Mungu na kudumu katika uaminifu kwa Yesu.
Here is the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 Kisha nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Andika: Wamebarikiwa wafu wafao katika Bwana tangu sasa.” “Naam,” asema Roho, “watapumzika kutoka taabu zao, kwa kuwa matendo yao yatawafuata.”
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth! Yea, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, For their deeds do follow them."
14 Nikatazama, hapo mbele yangu palikuwa na wingu jeupe, na aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya hilo wingu alikuwa “kama Mwana wa Adamu” mwenye taji ya dhahabu kichwani mwake na mundu mkali mkononi mwake.
And I looked, and lo, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw One sitting like to a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.
15 Kisha malaika mwingine akaja kutoka hekaluni naye akamwita kwa sauti kubwa yule aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya lile wingu akasema, “Chukua mundu wako ukavune kwa kuwa wakati wa mavuno umewadia, kwa maana mavuno ya dunia yamekomaa.”
And another angel came out of the temple, shouting with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud. "Thrust in your sickle, and reap; for the time to reap is come. The harvest of the earth is overripe."
16 Hivyo yule aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya lile wingu akauzungusha mundu wake duniani, nayo dunia ikavunwa.
And he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 Malaika mwingine akatoka katika hekalu lililoko mbinguni, naye pia alikuwa na mundu mkali.
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he, too, had a sharp sickle.
18 Kisha malaika mwingine, aliyekuwa na mamlaka juu ya moto, akatoka kwenye madhabahu, naye akamwita yule malaika mwenye mundu mkali kwa sauti kubwa, akisema, “Chukua mundu wako mkali ukakusanye vichala vya mizabibu ya dunia, maana zabibu zake zimeiva.”
And another angel came from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle, And gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, For its grapes are fully ripe."
19 Hivyo yule malaika akauzungusha mundu wake duniani na kukusanya zabibu za dunia na kuzitupa kwenye shinikizo kubwa la ghadhabu ya Mungu.
So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the clusters of the vine of the earth, and threw them into the winepress, the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 Lile shinikizo likakanyagwa nje ya mji, nayo damu ikatiririka kama mafuriko kutoka hilo shinikizo kufikia kimo cha hatamu za farasi, kwa umbali wa maili 200.
And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood gushed out of the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as two hundred miles.
