Ufunuo 16
1 Kisha nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka mle Hekaluni ikiwaambia wale malaika saba, “Nendeni, mkayamwage duniani hayo mabakuli saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu.”
Then I heard a loud voice which came out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go, empty the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon 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 angel went and poured out his bowl upon the earth. And it was turned to loathsome and painful sores upon all who bore the brand 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.
And the second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea; and it became blood, like the blood of a corpse, and every living creature died - everything in the sea.
4 Malaika wa tatu akalimwaga bakuli lake katika mito na chemchemi za maji, nazo zikawa damu.
And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of waters; and they were turned into 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;
And I heard the angel of the waters saying. "Righteous art thou, thou who art and wast, The Holy One, Because thou didst inflict this judgment.
6 kwa kuwa walimwaga damu ya watakatifu wako na manabii wako, nawe umewapa damu wanywe kama walivyostahili.”
For men poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets, And thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved."
7 Nikasikia madhabahu ikiitikia, “Naam, Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi, hukumu zako ni kweli na haki.”
And I heard the altar saying, "Yea, O Lord, the Almighty, True and righteous are thy judgments."
8 Malaika wa nne akamimina bakuli lake kwenye jua, nalo likapewa nguvu za kuwaunguza watu kwa moto.
And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and the sun was permitted 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.
And men were scorched with the terrible heat; and they blasphemed the name of the God who had the power over these plagues; yet they repented not, to 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,
And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and men gnawed their tongues for 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; yet of their deeds they did not repent.
12 Malaika wa sita akamimina bakuli lake kwenye mto mkubwa Frati, maji yake yakakauka ili kutayarisha njia kwa ajili ya wafalme watokao Mashariki.
And the sixth poured his bowl upon the great river, the River Euphrates, and its water was dried up so as to make ready the way for the kings that come from the sunrising.
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.
And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, coming out of the dragon’s mouth, and the beast’s mouth, and the false prophet’s mouth.
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 these are the spirits of demons performing miracles, who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth, to gather them together for the battle of the 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.”
Lo, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the who is on the watch and guarding his clothing, so that he may not walk naked, and they gaze on his shame.
16 Ndipo wakawakusanya wafalme pamoja mahali paitwapo Armagedoni kwa Kiebrania.
And the spirits gathered the kings together at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
17 Malaika wa saba akamimina bakuli lake angani na sauti kubwa ikatoka mle hekaluni katika kile kiti cha enzi, ikisema, “Imekwisha kuwa!”
And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is finished!"
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.
And lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake such as had not happened since man began to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake, 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.
and the great city was shattered into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and great Babylon came to mind before the face of God, to give her the cup of the wine of the passion of his anger.
20 Kila kisiwa kikatoweka wala milima haikuonekana.
And every island fled away, and the mountains sank from sight.
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.
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague of it is very great.
