< Ufunuo 15 >
1 Tena nikaona ishara nyingine mbinguni, kubwa na yenye kushangaza; Kulikuwa na malaika saba wenye mapigo saba, ambayo yalikuwa mapigo ya mwisho (katika hayo hasira ya Mungu ilikuwa imetimilika).
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 Niliona kile kilichotokea kuwa bahari ya bilauri iliyochanganywa na moto, na ikasimama pembeni mwa bahari ambapo wale waliokuwa washindi dhidi ya mnyama na sanamu yake, na juu ya namba inayowakilisha jina lake. Walikuwa wameshikilia vinubi walivyopewa na Mungu.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 Walikuwa wakiimba wimbo wa Musa, mtumishi wa Mungu, na wimbo wa Mwana Kondoo: “Kazi zako ni kubwa na zenye kushangaza, Bwana Mungu, utawalaye vyote. Mwaminifu na njia zako ni za kweli, Mfalme wa mataifa.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints.
4 Nani atashindwa kukuhofu wewe Bwana na kulitukuza jina lako? Kwa kuwa wewe peke yako ni mtakatifu. Mataifa yote yatakuja na kukuabudu mbele zako kwa sababu u mwema na matendo yako yamejulikana.”
Who shall not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name? for you only are holy: for all nations shall come and worship before you; for your judgments are made manifest.
5 Baada ya mambo hayo nilitazama, na sehemu takatifu sana, ambapo palikuwa na hema ya ushuhuda, iliyofungukia mbinguni.
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6 Kutoka mahali patakatifu sana wakaja malaika saba wenye mapigo saba, wamevaa mavazi safi, kitani yenye kung'aa na mshipi wa dhahabu kuzunguka vifua vyao.
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
7 Mmoja wa wale wenye uhai wanne akatoa kwa malaika saba mabakuli saba ya dhahabu yaliyojaa ghadhabu ya Mungu mwenye kuishi milele na milele. (aiōn )
And one of the four beasts gave to the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. (aiōn )
8 Mahali patakatifu sana kulijawa moshi kutoka kwenye utukufu wa Mungu na kutoka kwenye uwezo wake. Hakuna hata mmoja aliyeweza kuingia mpaka mapigo saba ya malaika saba yalipokamilika.
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
