Ufunuo 14
1 Nilitazama na nikaona Mwana Kondoo amesimama mbele yangu juu ya Mlima Sayuni. Pamoja naye walikuwa 144, 000 wenye jina lake na jina la Baba yake limeandikwa katika vipaji vya nyuso zao.
I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
2 Nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisikika kama ngurumo za maji mengi na sauti kubwa ya radi. Sauti niliyoisikia ni kama wapiga vinubi wapigao vinubi vyao.
I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
3 Wakiimba wimbo mpya mbele za kiti cha enzi na mbele za wenye uhai wanne na wazee. Hakuna hata mwenye uwezo wa kujifunza huo wimbo isipokuwa kwa 144, 000 ambao wamekombolewa kutoka duniani.
They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
4 Hawa ni wale ambao hawakujichafua wenyewe kwa wanawake, maana walijitunza wenyewe dhidi ya matendo ya zinaa. Ni hawa ambao walimfuata Mwana Kondoo popote alipoenda. Hawa walikombolewa kutoka kwa wanadamu wakiwa matunda ya kwanza kwa Mungu na kwa Mwana Kondoo.
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
5 Hakuna uongo uliopatikana katika vinywa vyao; hawalaumiwi.
In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
6 Nikaona malaika mwingine akiruka katikati ya mbingu, ambaye mwenye ujumbe wa mbinguni wa habari njema kwa kuwatangazia wenye kuishi duniani kwa kila taifa, kabila, lugha, na watu. (aiōnios g166)
I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having the consummate (aiōnios g166) Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
7 Akawaita kwa sauti kuu, “Mwogopeni Mungu na mpeni utukufu. Kwa maana muda wa hukumu umekaribia. Mwabuduni yeye, yeye aliyeumba mbingu, na dunia, na bahari, na chemchemi za maji.”
He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”
8 Malaika mwingine - malaika wa pili - akafuata akisema, “Umeanguka, umeanguka Babeli mkuu, ambaye uliwanywesha mataifa divai ya ukahaba, divai ambayo ilileta ghadhabu juu yake.”
Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”
9 Malaika mwingine - malaika wa tatu - aliwafuata, akasema kwa sauti kuu, “Yeyote atakayemwabudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kupokea alama katika paji lake la uso au mkononi,
Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10 yeye pia atakunywa divai ya ghadhabu ya Mungu, divai ambayo imeandaliwa na kumwagwa bila kuchanganywa katika kikombe cha hasira yake. Mtu atakayekunywa atateswa kwa moto na moto wa kiberiti mbele za malaika zake watakatifu na mbele za Mwana Kondoo.
he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
12 Huu ni wito wa subira na uvumilivu kwa waamini, wale ambao hutii amri za Mungu na imani katika Yesu.”
Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
13 Nilisikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Andika haya: Heri wafu wafao katika Bwana.” “Ndiyo,” asema Roho, “ili waweze kupumzika kutoka kwenye kazi zao, maana matendo yao yatawafuata.”
I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them.”
14 Nilitazama na nikaona kulikuwa na wingu jeupe, na aliyeketi kwenye wingu ni mmoja aliyekuwa na mfano wa Mwana wa Mtu. Alikuwa na taji ya dhahabu katika kichwa chake na mundu mkali katika mkono wake.
I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 Malaika mwingine tena alikuja kutoka kwenye hekalu na aliita kwa sauti kuu kwenda kwa yule aliyekaa katika wingu: “Chukua mundu wako na uanze kuvuna. Kwa kuwa muda wa mavuno umeshawadia, maana mavuno yaliyo katika dunia yameshaiva.”
Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!”
16 Tena yule aliyekuwa kwenye wingu aliupitisha mundu wake juu ya dunia, na dunia ikavunwa.
He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 Na malaika mwingine akaja kutoka kwenye hekalu la mbinguni; naye alikuwa na mundu mkali.
Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.
18 Na bado malaika mwingine akaja kutoka kwenye madhabahu, na malaika aliyekuwa na mamlaka juu ya moto. Akamwita kwa sauti kuu malaika ambaye alikuwa na mundu mkali, “Chukua mundu mkali na uyakusanye matawi ya mzabibu kutoka kwenye mzabibu wa nchi, kwa kuwa zabibu sasa zimeiva.”
Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!”
19 Malaika alipeleka mundu wake katika dunia na alikusanya mavuno ya zabibu ya dunia na alirusha katika pipa kubwa la divai ya ghadhabu ya Mungu.
The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
20 Chujio la divai lilipondwapondwa nje ya mji na damu ikamwagika kutoka katika hicho kimo cha hatamu ya farasi, kwa stadia 1, 600.
The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.
