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.
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, and there was a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun and his feet were 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 held a little scroll, which was opened in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.
3 Kisha alipaza sauti ya juu kama simba aungurumapo, na wakati alipopaza sauti radi saba ziliunguruma.
Then he shouted in a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he shouted, the seven thunders spoke out with their sounds.
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 spoke out, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Keep secret what the seven thunders said. Do not write it down.”
5 Kisha malaika niliyemwona amesimama juu ya bahari na nchi kavu, aliinua mkono wake juu mbinguni
Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and the earth raised 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)
He swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and all that is in it, the earth and all that is on it, and the sea and all that is in it, and the angel said, “There will be no more delay. (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 on the day when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, then the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he proclaimed 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 I heard from heaven spoke to me again: “Go, take the open scroll that is in the hand of the angel standing 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.”
Then I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take the scroll and eat it. 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 from the angel's hand and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but after I ate it, my stomach became bitter.
11 Kisha baadhi ya sauti ziliniambia, “Unapaswa kutabiri tena kuhusu watu wengi, mataifa, lugha, na wafalme.”
Then someone said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
