< Revelation 11 >

1 buna baphana nti wudedakana banga nti wowo beti tezila luelo ayi bakhamba: —Telama ayi teza luelo lu nzo Nzambi ayi lu ntala ayi tanga batu bobo bansambilanga muna.
Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there.
2 Vayi bika luphangu luidi ku nganda yi Nzo Nzambi; kadi teza lueloluandi bila luyekodolo kuidi makanda ma Bapakanu ayi bela diatila divula di nlongo mu tezo ki makumaya ayi zingondi zizole.
But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.
3 Ndiela vana lulendo kuidi bambangi bama zizole. Ziela bikula mu tezo ki mili yimosi ayi zikhama zizole ayi makumasambanu ma bilumbu, ziela vuata zitsaku.
And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 Bambangi beni buadi badi minti miodi mi Olive ayi badi bima biodi biobi beti tetika minda bintelamanga va ntuala Pfumu yi ntoto.
These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 Enati mutu zodidi kuba vanga mbimbi buna mbazu yela totuka mu miunu miawu ayi yela zinisa bambeni ziawu. Ayi enati mutu zodidi kuba vanga mbimbi buna buawu bobo kela fuila.
If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.
6 Bambangi buadi zibeki lulendo lu zibikila diyilu muingi mvula yibika noka mu bilumbu binzingila mbikudulu awu ayi zibeki lulendo mu minlangu mu kumikitula menga ayi mu buisa va ntoto bivuku bi phila mu phila boso buela bela luzolo luawu.
These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.
7 Vayi bu bela mana telama kimbangi kiawu, buna bulu kintotukila ku diyenga kiela kuba nuanisa, kiela kuba nunga ayi kiela kuba vonda. (Abyssos g12)
When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
8 Ayi zimvumbi ziawu ziela tulu va nzila yi divula dinneni dintedolongo mu kipheve Sodoma ayi Ezipiti; kuna babandila Pfumu va dikulusi.
Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.
9 Buna batu bobo; ba makanda; ba zimbembo; ba zimvila bela tala zimvumbi ziawu mu tezo ki bilumbu bitatu ayi ndambu ayi bela manga ti zimvumbi ziawu ziziku.
For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.
10 Batu bobo bamvuandanga va ntoto bela mona khini mu diambu diawu, bela mona khini ayi bela vanasana makaba bila mimbikudi miomi mimiodi miyamisa bobo bavuanda va ntoto.
And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.
11 Bilumbu bitatu ayi ndambu bu bivioka; buna pheve yeti vanaluzingu yiba kuidi Nzambi, yikota mu bawu ayi batelama ayi boma bungolo bu buila batu bobo baba kuba talanga.
But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
12 Buna bawa mbembo yingolo yitotukila ku diyilu, yiba kamba: “bika lukuma kuaku”. Bakuma ku diyilu mu matuti ayi bambeni ziawu ziba tala.
And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.
13 Mu yina yawu thangu, ndikunu yi ntoto yinneni yiba. Buna ndambu yimosi mu dikumi di zindambu zi divula yibua ayi tsambuadi di mili di batu bavondo mu ndikunu yi ntoto. Bobo bankaka basiala, basimina ngolo ayi bavana Nzambi yi diyilu nkembo.
And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 Mabienga mammuadi maviokidi. Tala mabienga ma ntatu malembo yizi nsualu.
The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.
15 Mbasi yi tsambuadi bu yisika tulumbeta, buna zimbembo ziwakana mu diyilu, zituba: —Kipfumu ki ntoto kiyikidi kipfumu ki Pfumu eto ayi ki Klisto andi. Niandi wela yala mu zikhama zikhama zi mimvu. (aiōn g165)
Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
16 Buna makumuadi bakulutu baya bobo bamvuandanga mu bikundu biawuva ntuala Nzambi bafukama mu yinika bizizi biawu mu tsi ayi basambila Nzambi;
And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17 bu batuba: Pfumu Nzambi, nkua ngolo yoso widi ayi wuba tukuvutudila matondo bila ngeyo wusadidi lulendo luaku lunneni ayi wukotidi mu lubialu luaku
saying: “We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
18 Makanda mafuemini ayi nganzi aku yiyizidi ayi thangu yiyizidi yifueti sambusulu bafua ayi thangu yiyizidi mu vana mfutu kuidi mimbikudi, bisadi biaku ayi kuidi banlongo ayi kuidi bobo beti kinzika dizina diaku, batu baphamba ayi batu baluvalu, ayi thangu yiyizidi mu bunga batu bobo beti bivisa ntoto.
The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great— and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 Buna nzo Nzambi yidi mu diyilu yizibuka ayi kesi yi Nguizani andiyimonika muna. Kuna kuba zitsiemo, zimbembo, bidumu, ndikunu yi ntoto ayi mvula yingolo yi matadi.
Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
