Ufunuo 20
1 Kisha nikaona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa ameshika ufunguo wa lile Shimo na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. (Abyssos g12)
I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
2 Akalishika lile joka, yule nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ndiye ibilisi au Shetani, naye akamfunga kwa muda wa miaka 1,000.
He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 Akamtupa katika lile Shimo, akamfunga humo na kulitia lakiri, ili kumzuia asiendelee kudanganya mataifa mpaka hiyo miaka 1,000 itimie. Baada ya hayo lazima afunguliwe kwa muda mfupi. (Abyssos g12)
and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time. (Abyssos g12)
4 Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi vilivyokuwa vimekaliwa na hao waliopewa mamlaka ya kuhukumu, na nikaona roho za wale waliokatwa vichwa kwa sababu ya ushuhuda wa Yesu na kwa sababu ya neno la Mungu. Hawakuwa wamemsujudu huyo mnyama wala sanamu yake wala hawakupokea ile chapa yake kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao au kwenye mikono yao. Wakawa hai na kutawala pamoja na Kristo miaka 1,000.
I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Yeshua and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.
5 (Wafu waliosalia hawakufufuka mpaka ilipotimia hiyo miaka 1,000.) Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Waliobarikiwa na walio watakatifu ni wale walio na sehemu katika ufufuo wa kwanza. Hao mauti ya pili haina nguvu juu yao, bali watakuwa makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo, nao watatawala pamoja naye kwa muda wa miaka 1,000.
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Messiah, and will reign with him one thousand years.
7 Hiyo miaka 1,000 itakapotimia, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka kifungoni mwake,
And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison
8 naye atatoka ili kuyadanganya mataifa yaliyopo katika pembe nne za dunia, yaani, Gogu na Magogu apate kuwakusanya tayari kwa vita. Idadi yao ni kama mchanga ulioko pwani.
and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
9 Nao walitembea katika eneo lote la dunia, wakaizunguka kambi ya watakatifu na ule mji unaopendwa. Lakini moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni na kuwateketeza.
They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them.
11 Kisha nikaona kiti kikubwa cheupe cha enzi pamoja na yeye aliyeketi juu yake. Dunia na mbingu zikaukimbia uso wake wala mahali pao hapakuonekana.
I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
12 Nami nikawaona wafu wakubwa na wadogo, wakiwa wamesimama mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi na vitabu vikafunguliwa. Pia kitabu kingine kikafunguliwa ambacho ni kitabu cha uzima. Hao wafu wakahukumiwa sawasawa na matendo yao kama yalivyoandikwa ndani ya hivyo vitabu.
I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 Bahari ikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake, nayo mauti na Kuzimu zikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake. Kila mtu akahukumiwa kulingana na yale aliyoyatenda. (Hadēs g86)
The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Sheol gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. (Hadēs g86)
