Ufunuo 16
1 Kisha nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka Hekaluni ikiwaambia wale malaika saba, “Nendeni mkamwage mabakuli hayo saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu duniani.”
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 Basi, malaika wa kwanza akaenda akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya nchi. Mara madonda mabaya na ya kuumiza sana yakawapata wote waliokuwa na alama ya yule mnyama, na wale walioiabudu sanamu yake.
The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and painful sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshipped his image.
3 Kisha malaika wa pili akamwaga bakuli lake baharini. Nayo bahari ikawa damu tupu kama damu ya mtu aliyekufa, na viumbe vyote hai baharini vikafa.
The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.
4 Malaika wa tatu akamwaga bakuli lake katika mito na chemchemi za maji, navyo vikageuka damu.
The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
5 Nikamsikia malaika msimamizi wa maji akisema, “Ewe mtakatifu, Uliyeko na uliyekuwako! Wewe ni mwenye haki katika hukumu hii uliyotoa.
I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you have judged these things.
6 Maana waliimwaga damu ya watu wako na ya manabii, nawe umewapa damu wainywe; wamestahili hivyo!”
For they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.”
7 Kisha nikasikia sauti madhabahuni ikisema, “Naam, Bwana Mungu Mwenye Uwezo! Hukumu zako ni za kweli na haki!”
I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgements.”
8 Kisha malaika wa nne akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya jua. Jua likapewa nguvu ya kuwachoma watu kwa moto wake.
The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.
9 Basi, watu wakaunguzwa vibaya sana; wakamtukana Mungu aliye na uwezo juu ya mabaa hayo makubwa. Lakini hawakuziacha dhambi zao na kumtukuza Mungu.
People were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn’t repent and give him glory.
10 Kisha malaika wa tano akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya makao makuu ya yule mnyama. Giza likauvamia utawala wake, watu wakauma ndimi zao kwa sababu za maumivu,
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 madonda yao. Lakini hawakuyaacha matendo yao mabaya.
and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They still didn’t repent of their works.
12 Kisha malaika wa sita akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya mto mkubwa uitwao Eufrate. Maji yake yakakauka, na hivyo njia ilitengenezwa kwa ajili ya wafalme wa mashariki.
The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.
13 Kisha nikaona pepo wabaya watatu walio kama vyura, wakitoka kinywani mwa yule joka, kinywani mwa yule mnyama, na kinywani mwa yule nabii wa uongo.
I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;
14 Hawa ndio roho za pepo wafanyao miujiza. Ndio wanaokwenda kwa wafalme wa ulimwengu wote na kuwakusanya pamoja kwa ajili ya vita kuu Siku ile ya Mungu Mwenye Uwezo.
for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God the Almighty.
15 “Sikiliza! Mimi naja kama mwizi! Heri mtu akeshaye na kuvaa nguo zake ili asije akaenda uchi huko na huko mbele ya watu.”
“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”
16 Basi, roho hao wakawakusanya hao wafalme mahali paitwapo kwa Kiebrania Harmagedoni.
He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, “Harmagedon”.
17 Kisha malaika wa saba akamwaga bakuli lake hewani. Sauti kubwa ikasikika kutoka kwenye kiti cha enzi, Hekaluni, ikisema, “Mwisho umefika!”
The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18 Kukatokea umeme, kelele, ngurumo na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi ambalo halijapata kutokea tangu Mungu alipomuumba mtu.
There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake such as has not happened since there were men on the earth—so great an earthquake and so mighty.
19 Mji ule mkuu ukapasuliwa sehemu tatu, nayo miji ya mataifa ikateketea. Babuloni, mji mkuu, haukusahauliwa na Mungu. Aliunywesha kikombe cha divai ya ghadhabu yake kuu.
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 Visiwa vyote vikatoweka, nayo milima haikuonekena tena.
Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 Mvua ya mawe makubwa yenye uzito wa kama kilo hamsini kila moja, ikawanyeshea watu. Nao wakamtukana Mungu kwa sababu ya mapigo ya mvua hiyo ya mawe. Naam, pigo la mvua hiyo ya mawe lilikuwa kubwa mno.
Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague was exceedingly severe.
