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.
And I saw, and lo! the Lamb, standing upon the mount Zion, —and, with him, a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and his Father’s name written upon 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.
And I heard a sound out of heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of, loud thunders; and, the sound which I heard, was as of harp-singers harping with 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.
And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And, no one, was able to learn the song, save the hundred and forty-four thousand, who had been redeemed from 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 they, who with women, were not defiled, for they are, virgin. These, are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he is going. These, were redeemed from mankind, as a firstfruit unto God and the Lamb;
5 Hakuna uongo uliopatikana katika vinywa vyao; hawalaumiwi.
and, in their mouth, was found no falsehood, —faultless, they are.
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)
And I saw another messenger, flying in mid-heaven, having an age-abiding glad-message to announce unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, even unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people, (aiōnios g166)
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.”
saying with a loud voice, —Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judging is come; and do homage unto him that made heaven and the earth and sea and fountains 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.”
And, another, a second [messenger] followed, saying—Fallen! fallen! is Babylon the great, who, of the wine of the wrath of her lewdness, hath caused all the nations to drink.
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,
And, another, a third messenger, followed them, saying with a loud voice—If anyone doeth homage unto the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark upon his forehead, or upon 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, shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared, unmixed, in the cup of his anger; —and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, before holy messengers and before the Lamb;
11 Na moshi wa maumivu yao ukaenda milele na milele, na hawakuwa na mapumziko mchana au usiku - hao waabuduo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kila mtu aliyepokea alama ya jina lake. (aiōn g165)
And, the smoke of their torment, unto ages of ages, ascendeth; And they have no rest day or night, who do homage unto the beast and his image, or if anyone receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn g165)
12 Huu ni wito wa subira na uvumilivu kwa waamini, wale ambao hutii amri za Mungu na imani katika Yesu.”
Here, is, the endurance of the saints, —they 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.”
And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying—Write! Happy, the dead who, in the Lord, do die, from henceforth. Yea! (saith the Spirit) that they may rest from their toils, for, their works, do 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.
And I saw, and lo! a white cloud, and, upon the cloud, one sitting like unto a son of man, having, upon his head, a crown of gold, 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.”
And, another messenger, came forth out of the sanctuary, crying out with a loud voice, unto him that was sitting upon the cloud—Thrust in thy sickle, and reap; because the hour to reap is come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 Tena yule aliyekuwa kwenye wingu aliupitisha mundu wake juu ya dunia, na dunia ikavunwa.
And he that was sitting upon the cloud, thrust in, his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 Na malaika mwingine akaja kutoka kwenye hekalu la mbinguni; naye alikuwa na mundu mkali.
And, another messenger, came forth out of the sanctuary that is in heaven, —he also, having 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.”
And, another messenger, [came forth] out of the altar, who hath authority over the fire, —and called out with a loud voice, unto him who had the sharp sickle, saying—Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; because the grapes thereof 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.
And the messenger, thrust in, his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [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.
And the wine-press was trodden outside the city, and there came forth blood out of the wine-press, even unto the bits of the horses, at a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs.
