< Ufunuo 11 >
1 Nilipewa mwanzi wa kutumia kama fimbo ya kupimia. Niliambiwa, “Ondoka na ukapime hekalu la Mungu na madhabahu, na wale wanaoabudu ndani yake.
And there was given me a reed like to a staff, a voice saying: Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein;
2 Lakini usipime eneo la ua wa nje ya hekalu, kwa kuwa wamepewa watu wa Mataifa. Wataukanyaga mji mtakatifu kwa muda wa miezi arobaini na miwili.
but the court which is outside the temple, leave out, and measure it not, for it hath been given to the gentiles; and the holy city will they tread under foot forty-two months.
3 Nitawapa mashahidi wangu wawili mamlaka ya kutabiri kwa muda wa siku 1, 260, wakiwa wamevaa magunia.”
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 Hawa mashahidi ni miti miwili ya mizeituni na vinara viwili ambavyo vimesimama mbele ya Bwana wa dunia.
These are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks, which stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 Kama mtu yeyote ataamua kuwadhuru, moto hutoka vinywani mwao na kuwadhuru adui zao. Yeyote anayetaka kuwadhuru lazima auawe kwa njia hii.
And if any one designs to hurt them, fire goeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies; and if any one designs to hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 Hawa mashahidi wana uwezo wa kufunga anga ili kwamba mvua isinyeshe wakati wanatabiri. Wana nguvu ya kubadili maji kuwa damu na kuipiga nchi kwa kila aina ya pigo wakati wowote wakitaka.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and have power over the waters, to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they will.
7 Wakati watakapokuwa wamemaliza ushuhuda wao, yule mnyama anayetoka kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho atafanya vita dhidi yao. Atawashinda na kuwaua. (Abyssos )
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos )
8 Miili yao italala katika mtaa wa mji mkuu (ambao kimfano unaitwa Sodoma na Misri) ambapo Bwana wao alisulubiwa.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified.
9 Kwa siku tatu na nusu baadhi kutoka katika jamaa za watu, kabila, lugha na kila taifa watatazama miili yao na hawatatoa kibali kuwekwa katika kaburi.
And some from among the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, will look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and will not suffer their dead bodies to be put into a tomb.
10 Wale wanaoishi katika nchi watafurahi kwa ajili yao na kushangilia, hata kutumiana zawadi kwa sababu hao manabii wawili waliwatesa wale walioishi katika nchi.
And they that dwell upon the earth will rejoice over them, and make merry, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwelt on the earth.
11 Lakini baada ya siku tatu na nusu pumzi ya uhai kutoka kwa Mungu itawaingia nao watasimama kwa miguu yao. Hofu kuu itawaangukia wale wanaowaona.
And after three days and a half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
12 Kisha watasikia sauti kuu kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, “Njoni huku!” Nao watakwenda juu mbinguni katika wingu, wakati adui zao wakitazama.
And they heard a loud voice from heaven, saying to them, Come up hither; and they went up into heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 Katika saa hiyo kutakuwepo na tetemeko kuu la ardhi na moja ya kumi ya mji itaanguka. Watu elfu saba watauawa katika tetemeko na watakaobaki hai wataogopeshwa na kumpa utukufu Mungu wa mbinguni.
And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain seven thousand men; and the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 Ole ya pili imepita. Angalia! Ole ya tatu inakuja upesi.
The second woe is past; behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 Kisha malaika wa saba alipiga tarumbeta yake, na sauti kubwa zilinena mbinguni na kusema, “Ufalme wa dunia umeshakuwa ufalme wa Bwana wetu na wa Kristo wake. Atatawala milele na milele.” (aiōn )
And the seventh angel sounded, and there followed loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever. (aiōn )
16 Kisha wazee ishirini na wanne waliokuwa wameketi kwenye viti vya enzi mbele ya Mungu walianguka wenyewe chini kwenye ardhi, nyuso zao zimeinama chini, nao walimwabudu Mungu.
And the twenty-four elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Walisema, “Twatoa shukrani zetu kwako, Bwana Mungu, mtawala juu ya vyote, ambaye upo na ambaye ulikuwepo, kwa sababu umetwaa nguvu yako kuu na kuanza kutawala.
saying, We give thanks to thee, O Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, because thou hast taken thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 Mataifa walikasirika, lakini gadhabu yako imekuja. Wakati umefika kwa wafu kuhukumiwa na wewe kuwazawadia watumishi wako manabii, waamini na wale walio na hofu ya jina lako, wote wawili wasiofaa kitu na wenye nguvu. Na wakati wako umefika wa kuwaharibu wale ambao wamekuwa wakiiharibu dunia.”
And the nations were enraged, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy the destroyers of the earth.
19 Kisha hekalu la Mungu mbinguni lilifunuliwa na sanduku la agano lake lilionekana ndani ya hekalu lake. Kulikuwa na miali ya mwanga, kelele, ngurumo za radi, tetemeko la ardhi na mawe ya mvua.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple; and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
