Ufunuo 10
1 Kisha nikaona malaika mwingine mkuu akishuka chini kutoka mbinguni. Alikuwa amefungwa katika wingu, na kulikuwa na upinde wa mvua juu ya kichwa chake. Uso wake ulikuwa kama jua na miguu yake ilikuwa kama nguzo za moto.
And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and an arch of coloured light was round his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;
2 Alishikilia gombo dogo katika mkono wake lililokuwa limefunuliwa, naye aliweka mguu wake wa kulia juu ya bahari na mguu wake wa kushoto juu ya nchi kavu.
And he had in his hand a little open book: and he put his right foot on the sea, and his left on the earth;
3 Kisha alipaza sauti ya juu kama simba aungurumapo, na wakati alipopaza sauti radi saba ziliunguruma.
And he gave a loud cry, like the angry voice of a lion: and at his cry the voices of the seven thunders were sounding.
4 Wakati radi saba zilipounguruma, nilikuwa nakaribia kuandika, lakini nilisikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Tunza iwe siri kile ambacho radi saba zimesema. Usiiandike.”
And when the seven thunders had given out their voices, I was about to put their words down: and a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Keep secret the things which the seven thunders said, and do not put them in writing.
5 Kisha malaika niliyemwona amesimama juu ya bahari na nchi kavu, aliinua mkono wake juu mbinguni
And the angel which I saw taking his position on the sea and on the earth, put up his right hand to heaven,
6 na kuapa kwa yule aishiye milele na milele —aliyeumba mbingu na vyote vilivyomo, dunia na vyote vilivyomo, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo: “Hakutakuwepo kuchelewa tena. (aiōn g165)
And took his oath by him who is living for ever and ever, who made the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there would be no more waiting: (aiōn g165)
7 Lakini katika siku ile, wakati malaika wa saba atakapokaribia kupiga tarumbeta yake, ndipo siri ya Mungu itakuwa imetimizwa, kama alivyotangaza kwa watumishi wake manabii.”
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when the sound of his horn is about to come, then will the secret of God be complete, of which he gave the good news to his servants the prophets.
8 Sauti niliyosikia kutoka mbinguni iliniambia tena: “Nenda, chukua gombo dogo lililofunuliwa ambalo kiko katika mkono wa malaika aliyesimama juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu.”
And the voice came to me again from heaven, saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who has his place on the sea and on the earth.
9 Kisha nilikwenda kwa malaika na kumwambia anipe gombo dogo. Aliniambia, “Chukua gombo na ule. Litalifanya tumbo lako liwe na uchungu, lakini katika mdomo wako litakuwa tamu kama asali.”
And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little book. And he said to me: Put it in your mouth; and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.
10 Nilichukua gombo dogo kutoka mkononi mwa malaika na kulila. Lilikuwa kitamu kama asali katika mdomo wangu, lakini baada ya kula, tumbo langu lilikuwa na uchungu.
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and did as he said; and it was sweet as honey in my mouth: and when I had taken it, my stomach was made bitter.
11 Kisha baadhi ya sauti ziliniambia, “Unapaswa kutabiri tena kuhusu watu wengi, mataifa, lugha, na wafalme.”
And they said to me, You are to give word again of what is coming in the future to the peoples and nations and languages and kings.
