Ufunuo 20
1 Kisha nikamwona malaika mmoja anashuka kutoka mbinguni akiwa na ufunguo wa kuzimu na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. (Abyssos g12)
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
2 Akalikamata lile joka—nyoka wa kale, yaani Ibilisi au Shetani—akalifunga kwa muda wa miaka elfu moja.
And he laid hold of the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 Malaika akalitupa Kuzimu, akaufunga mlango wa kuingilia huko na kuutia mhuri ili lisiweze tena kuyapotosha mataifa mpaka hapo miaka elfu moja itakapotimia. Lakini baada ya miaka hiyo ni lazima lifunguliwe tena, lakini kwa muda mfupi tu. (Abyssos g12)
and threw him into the abyss, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be completed: and after this he must be loosed for a little while. (Abyssos g12)
4 Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi na watu walioketi juu yake; watu hao walipewa mamlaka ya hukumu. Niliona pia roho za wale waliokuwa wamenyongwa kwa sababu ya kumtangaza Yesu na kwa sababu ya neno la Mungu. Hawa hawakumwabudu yule mnyama na sanamu yake, wala hawakupigwa alama yake juu ya paji za nyuso zao, au juu ya mikono yao. Walipata tena uhai, wakatawala pamoja na Kristo kwa muda wa miaka elfu moja.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and the power of judging was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God; and of those who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark on their forehead, nor on their hand: and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 (Wale wengine waliokufa hawakupata uhai mpaka miaka elfu moja itimie.) Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
But the rest of the dead lived not till the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
6 Wameneemeka sana, tena heri yao wote wanaoshiriki ufufuo huu wa kwanza. Kifo cha pili hakitakuwa na nguvu juu yao; watakuwa makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo, na watatawala pamoja naye kwa miaka elfu moja.
Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; over such the second death has no power: but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 Wakati miaka elfu mia moja itakapotimia, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka gerezani mwake.
And when the thousand years shall have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,
8 Basi, atatoka nje, ataanza kuyapotosha mataifa yote yaliyotawanyika kila mahali duniani, yaani Gogu na Magogu. Shetani atawakusanya pamoja kwa ajili ya vita; nao watakuwa wengi kama mchanga wa pwani.
and shall go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to bring them together to battle: the number of these is as the sand of the sea.
9 Walitawanyika katika nchi yote, wakaizunguka kambi ya watu wa Mungu na mji wa Mungu aupendao. Lakini moto ulishuka kutoka mbinguni, ukawaangamiza.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them.
11 Kisha nikaona kiti cha enzi kikubwa cheupe, na yule aketiye juu yake. Dunia na mbingu vikatoweka mbele ya macho yake, na havikuonekana tena.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and no place was found for them.
12 Kisha nikawaona watu wakubwa na wadogo, wamesimama mbele ya kiti cha enzi, na vitabu vikafunguliwa. Halafu kitabu kingine, yaani kitabu cha uzima, kikafunguliwa pia. Wafu wakahukumiwa kadiri ya matendo yao, kama ilivyoandikwa ndani ya vitabu hivyo.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.
13 Bahari ikawatoa nje wafu waliokuwa ndani yake; kifo na kuzimu vikawatoa nje wafu waliokuwa ndani yao. Kila mmoja akahukumiwa kufuatana na matendo yake. (Hadēs g86)
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged, every one according to his works. (Hadēs g86)
