Ufunuo 19
1 Baada ya hayo nikasikia kitu kama sauti kubwa ya umati wa watu wengi mbinguni ikisema, “Haleluya! Ukombozi, utukufu na nguvu ni mali yake Mungu wetu!
After this I heard the semblance of the mighty voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying. "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power Unto the Lord our God!
2 Maana hukumu yake ni ya kweli na ya haki. Amemhukumu yule mzinzi mkuu ambaye alikuwa ameipotosha dunia kwa uzinzi wake. Amemwadhibu kwa sababu ya kumwaga damu ya watumishi wake!”
For true and righteous are his judgments; For he has judged the great harlot Who was corrupting the earth with her fornication. On her he has avenged the blood of his slaves."
3 Wakasema, “Asifiwe Mungu! Moshi wa moto unaoteketeza mji huo utapanda juu milele na milele!” (aiōn g165)
And a second time they said. "Allelulia! For the smoke of her torment goes up forever and ever!" (aiōn g165)
4 Na wale wazee ishirini na wanne, na vile viumbe hai vinne, wakajitupa chini, wakamwabudu Mungu aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi wakisema, “Amina! Asifiwe Mungu!”
Then the four and twenty Elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen, Hallelujah!"
5 Kisha kukatokea sauti kwenye kiti cha enzi: “Msifuni Mungu enyi watumishi wake wote, nyote mnaomcha, wadogo kwa wakubwa.”
And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you his slaves, All you who fear him, small and great!"
6 Kisha nikasikia kitu kama sauti ya umati mkubwa wa watu na sauti ya maji mengi na ya ngurumo kubwa, ikisema, “Haleluya! Maana Bwana Mungu wetu Mwenye Uwezo ni Mfalme!
And I heard a sound like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunderings, saying. "Alleluia, for the Lord God omnipotent reigns!
7 Tufurahi na kushangilia; tumtukuze, kwani wakati wa arusi ya Mwanakondoo umefika, na bibi arusi yuko tayari.
Let us rejoice and triumph and give him the glory; For the marriage of the Lamb is come, And his bride has made herself ready,
8 Amepewa uwezo wa kujivalia nguo ya kitani safi, iliyotakata na yenye kung'aa!” (Nguo hiyo ya kitani safi ni matendo mema ya watu wa Mungu.)
And it has been granted to her to array herself in fine linen, bright and pure; For the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints."
9 Kisha malaika akaniambia, “Andika haya: Heri wale walioalikwa kwenye karamu ya arusi ya Mwanakondoo!” Tena akaniambia, “Hayo ni maneno ya kweli ya Mungu.”
And he said to me, Write, "Blessed are those who have been bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."
10 Basi, mimi nikaanguka kifudifudi mbele ya miguu yake nikataka kumwabudu. Lakini yeye akaniambia, “Acha! Mimi ni mtumishi tu kama wewe na ndugu zako; sote tunauzingatia ukweli ule alioufunua Yesu. Mwabudu Mungu! Maana ukweli alioufunua Yesu ndio unaowaangazia manabii.”
And I fell down at his feet to worship him, and he said to me. "See that you do it not. I am a fellow slave of yours and of your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus; for the testimony of Jesus is the vital breath of prophecy."
11 Kisha nikaona mbingu zimefunguliwa; na huko alikuwako farasi mmoja mweupe, na mpanda farasi wake aliitwa “Mwaminifu” na “Kweli”. Huyo huhukumu na kupigana kwa ajili ya haki.
And I saw heaven opened, and lo! a white horse; and he who sat upon him was named "Faithful and True"; and in righteousness does he judge and make war.
12 Macho yake ni kama mwali wa moto, na alikuwa amevaa taji nyingi kichwani. Alikuwa ameandikwa jina ambalo hakuna mtu alijuaye isipokuwa tu yeye mwenyewe.
His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he has a name written, which none knows but himself.
13 Alikuwa amevaa vazi lililokuwa limelowekwa katika damu. Na jina lake huyo ni “Neno la Mungu.”
He is clothed in a vesture dipped in blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD
14 Majeshi ya mbinguni yalimfuata yakiwa yamepanda farasi weupe na walikuwa wamevaa mavazi ya kitani, meupe na safi.
And the armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
15 Upanga mkali hutoka kinywani mwake, na kwa upanga huo atawashinda mataifa. Yeye ndiye atakayetawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuikamua divai katika chombo cha kukamulia zabibu za ghadhabu kuu ya Mungu Mwenye Uwezo.
And there issues from his lips a sharp sword with which to smite the nations. He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the passion of the anger of Almighty God.
16 Juu ya vazi lake, na juu ya mguu wake, alikuwa ameandikwa jina: “Mfalme wa wafalme na Bwana wa mabwana.”
And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
17 Kisha nikamwona malaika mmoja amesimama katika jua. Akapaaza sauti na kuwaambia ndege wote waliokuwa wanaruka juu angani, “Njoni! Kusanyikeni pamoja kwa karamu kuu ya Mungu.
And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who shouted in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God,
18 Njoni mkaitafune miili ya wafalme, ya majemadari, ya watu wenye nguvu, ya farasi na wapanda farasi wao; njoni mkaitafune miili ya watu wote: walio huru na watumwa, wadogo na wakubwa.”
to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, bond and free, small and great."
19 Kisha nikaona yule mnyama pamoja na mfalme wa dunia na askari wao wamekusanyika pamoja kusudi wapigane na yule aliyekuwa ameketi juu ya farasi, pamoja na jeshi lake.
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war on him who sat on the horse and on his army.
20 Lakini huyo mnyama akachukuliwa mateka, pamoja na nabii wa uongo aliyekuwa akifanya miujiza mbele yake. (Kwa miujiza hiyo, alikuwa amewapotosha wale waliokuwa na chapa ya huyo mnyama, na ambao walikuwa wameiabudu sanamu yake.) Huyo mnyama pamoja na huyo nabii walitupwa wote wawili, wakiwa wazimawazima, ndani ya ziwa linalowaka moto wa kiberiti. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 Majeshi yao yaliuawa kwa upanga uliotoka kinywani mwa yule anayepanda farasi. Ndege wote wakajishibisha kwa nyama zao.
And the rest were slain with the sword of him who sat on the horse, that sword which issued from his lips. And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.
