Ufunuo 20
1 Kisha niliona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa na ufunguo wa shimo lisilo na mwisho na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. (Abyssos g12)
And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand, (Abyssos g12)
2 Alimshika yule joka, nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ni ibilisi au Shetani, na kumfunga miaka elfu.
and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him 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 he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little 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.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;
5 Wafu waliobaki hawakuja uzimani mpaka miaka elfu ilipokuwa imeisha. Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this [is] the first rising again.
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.
Happy and holy [is] he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 Wakati miaka elfu itakapofikia mwisho, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka gerezani mwake.
And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary shall be loosed out of 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 shall go forth to lead the nations astray, that are in the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog — to gather them together to war, of whom the number [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.
and they did go up over the breadth of the land, and did surround the camp of the saints, and the beloved city, and there came down fire from God out of the 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.
And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found 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.
and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls — 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)
and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works; (Hadēs g86)
