Ufunuo 20
1 Kisha niliona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa na ufunguo wa shimo lisilo na mwisho na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. (Abyssos g12)
I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
2 Alimshika yule joka, nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ni ibilisi au Shetani, na kumfunga miaka elfu.
He seized the serpent, the ancient snake, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 Alimtupa kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho, akalifunga na kulitia mhuri juu yake. Hii ilikuwa hivyo ili kwamba asiwadanganye mataifa tena mpaka miaka elfu itakapoisha. Baada ya hapo, ataachiwa huru kwa muda mchache. (Abyssos g12)
and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time. (Abyssos g12)
4 Kisha niliona viti vya enzi. Waliokuwa wamevikalia ni wale ambao walikuwa wamepewa mamlaka ya kuhukumu. Vilevile niliona nafsi za wale ambao walikuwa wamekatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda kuhusu Yesu na kwa neno la Mungu. Walikuwa hawajamwabudu mnyama au sanamu yake, na walikataa kupokea alama juu ya paji za nyuso zao au mkono. Walikuja uzimani, na wakatawala pamoja na Kristo kwa miaka elfu.
I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as did not worship the beast nor his image, and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.
5 Wafu waliobaki hawakuja uzimani mpaka miaka elfu ilipokuwa imeisha. Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Mbarikiwa na mtakatifu ni mtu yeyote ambaye achukua nafasi katika ufufuo wa kwanza! Mauti ya pili haina nguvu juu ya watu kama hawa. Patakuwa na makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo na watatawala na yeye kwa miaka elfu.
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Messiah, and will reign with him one thousand years.
7 Wakati miaka elfu itakapofikia mwisho, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka gerezani mwake.
And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison,
8 Atakwenda nje kuwadanganya mataifa katika kona nne za dunia -Gogu na Magogu - kuwaleta pamoja kwa ajili ya vita. Watakuwa wengi kama mchanga wa bahari.
and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 Walikwenda juu kwenye tambarare ya nchi nao walizunguka kambi ya waumini, mji upendwao. Lakini moto ulikuja kutoka mbinguni na kuwaangamiza.
They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city, and fire came down out of heaven and devoured them.
11 Kisha niliona kiti cha enzi kikubwa cheupe na yule ambaye alikaa juu yake. Dunia na mbingu zilikimbia mbali kutoka katika uwepo wake, lakini hapakuwako nafasi ya wao kwenda.
I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
12 Niliwaona waliokufa - hodari na wasio wa muhimu wamesimama katika kiti cha enzi, na vitabu vilifunuliwa. Kisha kitabu kingine kilifunguliwa - Kitabu cha Uzima. Wafu walihukumiwa kwa kile kilichoandikwa ndani ya vitabu, matokeo ya kile walichokifanya.
I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 Bahari iliwatoa wafu ambao walikuwa ndani yake. Kifo na kuzimu viliwatoa wafu ambao walikuwa ndani yake, na wafu walihukumiwa kulingana na walichofanya. (Hadēs g86)
The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and hell gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. (Hadēs g86)
