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.
A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
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.
Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
3 Nitawapa mashahidi wangu wawili mamlaka ya kutabiri kwa muda wa siku 1, 260, wakiwa wamevaa magunia.”
I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred 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 lamp stands, standing 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.
If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
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 the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
7 Wakati watakapokuwa wamemaliza ushuhuda wao, yule mnyama anayetoka kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho atafanya vita dhidi yao. Atawashinda na kuwaua. (Abyssos g12)
When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
8 Miili yao italala katika mtaa wa mji mkuu (ambao kimfano unaitwa Sodoma na Misri) ambapo Bwana wao alisulubiwa.
Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord 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.
From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in 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.
Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell 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.
After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.
12 Kisha watasikia sauti kuu kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, “Njoni huku!” Nao watakwenda juu mbinguni katika wingu, wakati adui zao wakitazama.
I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw 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.
In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified 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 comes 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 g165)
The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah. He will reign forever and ever!” (aiōn g165)
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.
The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped 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 you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and 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.”
The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the holy ones and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy 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.
God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
