Ufunuo 16
1 Nikasikia sauti kubwa ikiita kutoka kwenye sehemu ya patakatifu na ikasema kwa wale malaika saba, “Nenda na ukamwage juu ya dunia mabakuli saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu.”
I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth."
2 Malaika wa kwanza alienda na kumwaga bakuli lake katika dunia; majeraha mabaya na yenye maumivu makali yalikuja kwa watu wenye alama ya mnyama, kwa wale ambao waliabudu sanamu yake.
The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.
3 Malaika wa pili alimwaga bakuli lake katika bahari; ikawa kama damu ya mtu aliyekufa, na kila kiumbe hai katika bahari kilikufa.
The second one poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a corpse. And every living thing in the sea died.
4 Malaika wa tatu akamwaga bakuli lake katika mito na katika chemichemi za maji; zikawa damu.
The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
5 Nikasikia malaika wa maji akisema, “Wewe ni mwaminifu - mmoja uliyepo na uliyekuwako, Mtakatifu - kwa sababu umezileta hukumu hizi.
I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who is and who was, the Holy One, because you have judged these things.
6 Kwa sababu walimwaga damu za waamini na manabii, umewapa wao kunywa damu; ndicho wanachostahili.”
For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this."
7 Nikasikia madhabahu ikijibu, “Ndiyo! Bwana Mungu mwenye kutawala juu ya vyote, hukumu zako ni kweli na za haki.”
I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God of hosts, true and righteous are your judgments."
8 Malaika wa nne akamwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake juu ya jua, na likapewa ruhusa kuunguza watu kwa moto.
The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch people with fire.
9 Waliunguzwa kwa joto lenye kutisha, na wakalikufuru neno la Mungu, mwenye nguvu juu ya mapigo yote. Hawakutubu wala kumpa yeye utukufu.
People were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.
10 Malaika wa tano akamwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake katika kiti cha enzi cha mnyama, na giza likaufunika ufalme wake. Walisaga meno katika maumivu makali.
The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,
11 Wakamtukana Mungu wa mbinguni kwa sababu ya maumivu yao na majeraha yao, na bado waliendelea kutokutubu kwa kile walichotenda.
and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They did not repent of their works.
12 Malaika wa sita alimwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake katika mto mkubwa, Frati, na maji yake yakakauka ili kuweza kuandaa njia kwa wafalme watakaokuja kutoka mashariki.
The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrise.
13 Nikaona roho tatu chafu zilizoonekana kama chura watokao nje ya mdomo wa yule joka, yule mnyama, na yule nabii wa uongo.
I saw coming out of the mouth of the serpent, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;
14 Ni roho za pepo zitendazo ishara na miujiza. Walikuwa wakienda kwa wafalme wa dunia yote ili kuweza kuwakusanya pamoja kwa vita katika siku kuu ya Mungu, mwenye kutawala juu ya vyote.
for they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God the Almighty.
15 (“Tazama! Ninakuja kama mwizi! Heri yule adumuye katika kukesha, atunzaye mavazi yake ili asiweze kwenda nje uchi na kuiona aibu yake.”)
"Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he does not walk naked, and they see his shame."
16 Waliwaleta pamoja katika sehemu iliyoitwa katika kiebrania Amagedoni.
He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, Har Megiddo.
17 Malaika wa saba alimwaga kutoka kwenye bakuli lake katika anga. Kisha sauti kuu ikasikika kutoka pakatifu na kutoka kwenye kiti cha enzi, ikisema, “Imekwisha!”
The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came forth out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done."
18 Kulikuwa na miale ya mwanga wa radi, ngurumo, vishindo vya radi, na tetemeko la kutisha - tetemeko kubwa la ardhi ambalo halijawahi kutokea duniani tangu wanadamu wamekuwepo duniani, hivyo ni tetemeko kubwa zaidi.
There were lightnings, voices, and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since man was on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.
19 Mji mkuu uligawanyika katika sehemu tatu, na miji ya mataifa ikaanguka. Kisha Mungu akamkumbusha Babeli mkuu, na akaupa mji huo kikombe kilichokuwa kimejaa divai kutoka kwenye ghadhabu yake iliyo kali.
The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 Kila kisiwa kikapotea na milima haikuonekana tena.
Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 Mvua kubwa ya mawe, ikiwa na uzito wa talanta, ikashuka kutoka mbinguni juu ya watu, na wakamlaani Mungu kwa mapigo ya mvua ya mawe kwa sababu lile pigo lilikuwa baya sana.
Great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague is exceedingly severe.
