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!
And after these things, I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying: Hallelujah: Deliverance, and strength, and glory, and honor, unto 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 hath judged that great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her whoredom; and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 Wakasema, “Asifiwe Mungu! Moshi wa moto unaoteketeza mji huo utapanda juu milele na milele!” (aiōn g165)
And again they said: Hallelujah: and her smoke ascendeth up for ever 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!”
And the twenty-four Elders fell down, and the four Animals, and worshipped God who sitteth 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 ye his servants; and such as 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, as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of heavy thunders, saying: Hallelujah; for our Lord God, Omnipotent, reigneth.
7 Tufurahi na kushangilia; tumtukuze, kwani wakati wa arusi ya Mwanakondoo umefika, na bibi arusi yuko tayari.
Let us rejoice and exult, and give glory to him: for the marriage supper of the Lamb hath come, and his bride hath 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 was granted her to be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean: for fine linen is the righteousnesses 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 they who are called to the supper of the marriage feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, These my sayings are the 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 at his feet, to worship him. And he said to me, See, thou do it not; I am thy fellow-servant, and of those thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship ye God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit 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 that sat on it, is called Faithful and True: and in righteousness he judgeth, and maketh 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 were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems; and he had names inscribed; and the name which was written on him, no one knew, except himself.
13 Alikuwa amevaa vazi lililokuwa limelowekwa katika damu. Na jina lake huyo ni “Neno la Mungu.”
And he was clothed with a vesture sprinkled with 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 soldiery of heaven followed him, on white horses, clad in garments of fine linen, pure and white.
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 from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he could smite the nations; and he will rule the nations with a rod of iron; and he will tread the wine-press of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 Juu ya vazi lake, na juu ya mguu wake, alikuwa ameandikwa jina: “Mfalme wa wafalme na Bwana wa mabwana.”
And he hath upon his vesture and upon his thigh the words 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; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven: Come ye, assemble unto this 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.”
that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, and the flesh of valiant men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all the free-born and of slaves, and of the small and the 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 of prey, and the kings of the earth, and their warriors, that they assembled to wage battle with him who sat on the white horse, and with his warriors.
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)
And the beast of prey was captured, and the false prophet that was with him, who did those prodigies before him, whereby he seduced them who had received the mark of the beast of prey and who worshipped his image. And they were both cast alive into the lake of fire, which burneth with sulphur. (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 by the sword of him that sat on the horse, by that sword which issueth from his mouth: and all the fowls were satiated with their flesh.
