Ufunuo 14
1 Kisha nikaona mlima Sioni, na Mwanakondoo amesimama juu yake; pamoja naye walikuwa watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu ambao juu ya paji za nyuso zao walikuwa wameandikwa jina la Mwanakondoo na jina la Baba yake.
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 Basi, nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni, sauti iliyokuwa kama sauti ya maji mengi na kama sauti ya ngurumo kubwa. Sauti niliyosikia ilikuwa kama sauti ya wachezaji muziki wakipiga vinubi vyao.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 Walikuwa wanaimba wimbo mpya mbele ya kiti cha enzi na mbele ya wale viumbe hai wanne na wale wazee. Hakuna mtu aliyeweza kujifunza wimbo huo isipokuwa hao watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu waliokombolewa duniani.
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 Watu hao ndio wale waliojiweka safi kwa kutoonana kimwili na wanawake, nao ni mabikira. Wao humfuata Mwanakondoo kokote aendako. Wamekombolewa kutoka miongoni mwa binadamu wengine, wakawa wa kwanza kutolewa kwa Mungu na kwa Mwanakondoo.
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto YHWH and to the Lamb.
5 Hawakupata kamwe kuwa waongo; hawana hatia yoyote.
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of YHWH.
6 Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine anaruka juu angani akiwa na Habari Njema ya milele ya Mungu, aitangaze kwa watu wote waishio duniani, kwa mataifa yote, makabila yote, watu wa lugha zote na rangi zote. (aiōnios g166)
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, (aiōnios g166)
7 Akasema kwa sauti kubwa, “Mcheni Mungu na kumtukuza! Maana saa imefika ya kutoa hukumu yake. Mwabuduni yeye aliyeumba mbingu na nchi, bahari na chemchemi za maji.”
Saying with a loud voice, Fear YHWH, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 Malaika wa pili alimfuata huyo wa kwanza akisema, “Ameanguka! Naam, Babuloni mkuu ameanguka! Babuloni ambaye aliwapa mataifa yote wainywe divai yake—divai kali ya uzinzi wake!”
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 Na malaika wa tatu aliwafuata hao wawili akisema kwa sauti kubwa, “Yeyote anayemwabudu yule mnyama na sanamu yake na kukubali kutiwa alama yake juu ya paji la uso wake au juu ya mkono wake,
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 yeye mwenyewe atakunywa divai ya ghadhabu ya Mungu, ambayo imemiminwa katika kikombe cha ghadhabu yake bila kuchanganywa na maji. Mtu huyo atateseka ndani ya moto na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu na mbele ya Mwanakondoo.
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of YHWH, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 Moshi wa moto unaowatesa kupanda juu milele na milele. Watu hao waliomwabudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kutiwa alama ya jina lake, hawatakuwa na nafuu yoyote usiku na mchana.” (aiōn g165)
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn g165)
12 Kutokana na hayo, ni lazima watu wa Mungu, yaani watu wanaotii amri ya Mungu na kumwamini Yesu, wawe na uvumilivu.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of YHWH, and the faith of Yahushua.
13 Kisha nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Andika! Heri watu ambao tangu sasa wanakufa wakiwa wameungana na Bwana.” Naye Roho asema, “Naam! Watapumzika kutoka taabu zao; maana matunda ya jasho lao yatawafuata.”
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Master from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 Kisha nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwapo wingu jeupe hapo. Na juu ya wingu hilo kulikuwa na kiumbe kama mtu. Alikuwa amevaa taji ya dhahabu kichwani, na kushika mundu mkononi mwake.
And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka Hekaluni, na kwa sauti kubwa akamwambia yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu, “Tafadhali, tumia mundu wako ukavune mavuno, maana wakati wa mavuno umefika; mavuno ya dunia yameiva.”
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 Basi, yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu akautupa mundu wake duniani, na mavuno ya dunia yakavunwa.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka katika Hekalu mbinguni akiwa na mundu wenye makali.
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 Kisha malaika mwingine msimamizi wa moto, akatoka madhabahuni akamwambia kwa sauti kubwa yule malaika mwenye mundu wenye makali, “Nawe tia huo mundu wako mkali, ukakate vichala vya mizabibu ya dunia, maana zabibu zake zimeiva!”
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 Basi, malaika huyo akautupa mundu wake duniani, akakata zabibu za dunia, akazitia ndani ya chombo kikubwa cha kukamulia zabibu, chombo cha ghadhabu ya Mungu.
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of YHWH.
20 Zabibu zikakamuliwa ndani ya hilo shinikizo lililoko nje ya mji, na damu ikatoka katika shinikizo hilo mtiririko mrefu kiasi cha mita mia tatu na kina chake kiasi cha mita mia mbili.
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
