Ufunuo 20
1 Kisha nikaona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa ameshika ufunguo wa lile Shimo na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. (Abyssos g12)
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, who had the key of the bottomless pit, 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.
And he seized the dragon, that old serpent, who is the devil and satan, and bound him 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 bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he might deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years be finished: and then he must be loosed for a little 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.
And I saw thrones, and persons sat on them, and judgement was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God; and who had not worshipped the beast, nor his image, and received not his mark upon their forehead, and on their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 (Wafu waliosalia hawakufufuka mpaka ilipotimia hiyo miaka 1,000.) Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
But the rest of the dead lived not again till the thousand years be finished.
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.
This is the first resurrection. Happy and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
7 Hiyo miaka 1,000 itakapotimia, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka kifungoni mwake,
And when the thousand years are ended,
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.
Satan shall be loosed from his confinement, and shall go forth to deceive the nations, that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to 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.
And they overspread the surface of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: but fire came down from God out of heaven, 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.
And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and no place was found 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.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged by the things 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)
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every one according to their works. (Hadēs g86)
