1And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
1Baada ya hayo nikasikia kitu kama sauti kubwa ya umati wa watu wengi mbinguni ikisema, "Haleluya! Ukombozi, utukufu na nguvu ni mali yake Mungu wetu!
2For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
2Maana 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!"
3And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
3Wakasema, "Asifiwe Mungu! Moshi wa moto unaoteketeza mji huo utapanda juu milele na milele!"
4And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
4Na wale wazee ishirini na wanne, na vile viumbe hai vinne, wakajitupa chini, wakamwabudu Mungu aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi wakisema, "Amina! Asifiwe Mungu!"
5And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
5Kisha kukatokea sauti kwenye kiti cha enzi: "Msifuni Mungu enyi watumishi wake wote, nyote mnaomcha, wadogo kwa wakubwa."
6And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
6Kisha 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!
7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
7Tufurahi na kushangilia; tumtukuze, kwani wakati wa arusi ya Mwanakondoo umefika, na bibi arusi yuko tayari.
8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
8Amepewa uwezo wa kujivalia nguo ya kitani safi, iliyotakata na yenye kung'aa!" (Nguo hiyo ya kitani safi ni matendo mema ya watu wa Mungu.)
9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
9Kisha malaika akaniambia, "Andika haya: Heri wale walioalikwa kwenye karamu ya arusi ya Mwanakondoo!" Tena akaniambia, "Hayo ni maneno ya kweli ya Mungu."
10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
10Basi, 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."
11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
11Kisha 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.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
12Macho yake ni kama mwali wa moto, na alikuwa amevaa taji nyingi kichwani. Alikuwa ameandikwa jina ambalo hakuna mtu alijuaye isipokuwa tu yeye mwenyewe.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
13Alikuwa amevaa vazi lililokuwa limelowekwa katika damu. Na jina lake huyo ni "Neno la Mungu."
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
14Majeshi ya mbinguni yalimfuata yakiwa yamepanda farasi weupe na walikuwa wamevaa mavazi ya kitani, meupe na safi.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
15Upanga 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.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
16Juu ya vazi lake, na juu ya mguu wake, alikuwa ameandikwa jina: "Mfalme wa wafalme na Bwana wa mabwana."
17And 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 and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
17Kisha nikamwona malaika mmoja amesimama katika jua. Akapaaza sauti na kuwaambia ndege wote waliokuwa wanaruka juu angani, "Njoni! Kusanyikeni pamoja kwa karamu kuu ya Mungu.
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
18Njoni 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."
19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
19Kisha 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.
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
20Lakini 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.
21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
21Majeshi yao yaliuawa kwa upanga uliotoka kinywani mwa yule anayepanda farasi. Ndege wote wakajishibisha kwa nyama zao.
