Ufunuo 16
1 Kisha nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka mle Hekaluni ikiwaambia wale malaika saba, “Nendeni, mkayamwage duniani hayo mabakuli saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu.”
I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth!”
2 Malaika wa kwanza akaenda akalimwaga hilo bakuli lake juu ya nchi. Majipu mabaya yenye maumivu makali yakawapata wale watu wote waliokuwa na chapa ya yule mnyama na walioabudu sanamu yake.
The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and painful sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.
3 Malaika wa pili akalimwaga bakuli lake baharini, nayo ikabadilika kuwa damu kama ya mtu aliyekufa na kila kiumbe hai kilichokuwa ndani ya bahari kikafa.
The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.
4 Malaika wa tatu akalimwaga bakuli lake katika mito na chemchemi za maji, nazo zikawa damu.
The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
5 Ndipo nikamsikia malaika msimamizi wa maji akisema: “Wewe una haki katika hukumu hizi ulizotoa, wewe uliyeko, uliyekuwako, Uliye Mtakatifu, kwa sababu umehukumu hivyo;
I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you have judged these things.
6 kwa kuwa walimwaga damu ya watakatifu wako na manabii wako, nawe umewapa damu wanywe kama walivyostahili.”
For they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.”
7 Nikasikia madhabahu ikiitikia, “Naam, Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi, hukumu zako ni kweli na haki.”
I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.”
8 Malaika wa nne akamimina bakuli lake kwenye jua, nalo likapewa nguvu za kuwaunguza watu kwa moto.
The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.
9 Watu wakaunguzwa na hilo joto kali, wakalaani Jina la Mungu, aliyekuwa na uwezo juu ya mapigo haya, tena wakakataa kutubu na kumtukuza Mungu.
People were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.
10 Malaika wa tano akamimina bakuli lake kwenye kiti cha enzi cha yule mnyama, nao ufalme wake ukagubikwa na giza. Watu wakatafuna ndimi zao kwa ajili ya maumivu,
The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,
11 wakamlaani Mungu wa mbinguni kwa sababu ya maumivu na majeraha yao, wala hawakutubu kwa ajili ya matendo yao maovu.
and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They still did not repent of their works.
12 Malaika wa sita akamimina bakuli lake kwenye mto mkubwa Frati, maji yake yakakauka ili kutayarisha njia kwa ajili ya wafalme watokao Mashariki.
The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.
13 Kisha nikaona roho wachafu watatu waliofanana na vyura wakitoka katika kinywa cha lile joka na katika kinywa cha yule mnyama na katika kinywa cha yule nabii wa uongo.
I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;
14 Hizo ndizo roho za pepo wachafu zitendazo miujiza. Nazo huwaendea wafalme wa ulimwengu wote na kuwakusanya tayari kwa ajili ya vita katika siku ile kuu ya Mungu Mwenyezi.
for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God the Almighty.
15 “Tazama, naja kama mwizi! Amebarikiwa yeye akeshaye na kuziweka tayari nguo zake ili asiende uchi na kuonekana aibu yake.”
“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he does not walk naked, and they see his shame.”
16 Ndipo wakawakusanya wafalme pamoja mahali paitwapo Armagedoni kwa Kiebrania.
He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, “Harmagedon”.
17 Malaika wa saba akamimina bakuli lake angani na sauti kubwa ikatoka mle hekaluni katika kile kiti cha enzi, ikisema, “Imekwisha kuwa!”
The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18 Kukawa na mianga ya umeme wa radi, ngurumo, radi na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi. Hapajawa kamwe na tetemeko la ardhi kama hilo tangu mwanadamu awepo duniani, hivyo lilikuwa tetemeko kubwa ajabu.
There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake such as has not happened since there were men on the earth—so great an earthquake and so mighty.
19 Ule mji mkubwa ukagawanyika katika sehemu tatu, nayo miji ya mataifa ikaanguka. Mungu akaukumbuka Babeli Mkuu na kumpa kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo wa ghadhabu ya hasira yake.
The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 Kila kisiwa kikatoweka wala milima haikuonekana.
Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 Mvua kubwa ya mawe yenye uzito wa talanta moja ikashuka kutoka mbinguni, ikawaangukia wanadamu. Nao wanadamu wakamlaani Mungu kwa ajili ya hayo mapigo ya mvua ya mawe, kwa sababu pigo hilo lilikuwa la kutisha.
Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague was exceedingly severe.
