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.
Then I looked, and I saw the Lamb standing upon Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 people, having His name and His Father's name 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.
And I heard music from Heaven which resembled the sound of many waters and the roar of loud thunder; and the music which I heard was like that of harpists playing upon 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 were singing what seemed to be a new song, in front of the throne and in the presence of the four living creatures and the Elders; and no one was able to learn that song except the 144,000 people who had been redeemed out of the world.
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 had not defiled themselves with women: they are as pure as virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
5 Hakuna uongo uliopatikana katika vinywa vyao; hawalaumiwi.
And no lie has ever been found upon their lips: they are faultless.
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 angel flying across the sky, carrying the Good News of the Ages to tell to every nation, tribe, language and people, among those who live on the earth. (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.”
He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory, because the time of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made sky and earth, the sea and the water-springs."
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 angel, followed, exclaiming, "Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen--she who made all the nations drink the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication."
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 angel, followed them, exclaiming in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Wild Beast and his statue, 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 shall drink the wine of God's anger which stands ready, undiluted, in the cup of His fury, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and of 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 goes up until the Ages of the Ages; and the worshipers of the Wild Beast and his statue have no rest day or night, nor has any one who receives 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 an opportunity for endurance on the part of God's people, who carefully keep His commandments 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 speaking from Heaven. It said, "Write as follows: "'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from this time onward. Yes, says the Spirit, let them rest from their sorrowful labours; for what they have done goes 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.
Then I looked, and a white cloud appeared, and sitting on the cloud was some One resembling the Son of Man, having a wreath of gold upon His head 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, an angel, came out of the sanctuary, calling in a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, and saying, "Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the hour for reaping it has come: the harvest of the earth is over-ripe."
16 Tena yule aliyekuwa kwenye wingu aliupitisha mundu wake juu ya dunia, na dunia ikavunwa.
Then He who sat on the cloud flung His sickle on the earth, and the earth had its harvest reaped.
17 Na malaika mwingine akaja kutoka kwenye hekalu la mbinguni; naye alikuwa na mundu mkali.
And another angel came out from the sanctuary in Heaven, and he too carried 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 angel came out from the altar--he who had power over fire--and he spoke in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Use your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are now quite 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 angel flung his sickle down to the earth, and reaped the vine of the earth and threw the grapes into the great winepress of God's anger.
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 winepress was trodden outside the city, and out of it came blood reaching the horses' bridles for a distance of 200 miles.
