< 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.
I saw another mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs 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.
He had in his hand a little open scroll. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
3 Kisha alipaza sauti ya juu kama simba aungurumapo, na wakati alipopaza sauti radi saba ziliunguruma.
He shouted with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he shouted, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 Wakati radi saba zilipounguruma, nilikuwa nakaribia kuandika, lakini nilisikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Tunza iwe siri kile ambacho radi saba zimesema. Usiiandike.”
When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and do not write them."
5 Kisha malaika niliyemwona amesimama juu ya bahari na nchi kavu, aliinua mkono wake juu mbinguni
The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,
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 )
and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay, (aiōn )
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 he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared 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.”
The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, "Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land."
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.”
I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, "Take it, and eat it up. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as 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.
I took the little scroll out of the angel's hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
11 Kisha baadhi ya sauti ziliniambia, “Unapaswa kutabiri tena kuhusu watu wengi, mataifa, lugha, na wafalme.”
They told me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."
