¹And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand,

¹የጥልቁንም መክፈቻና ታላቁን ሰንሰለት በእጁ የያዘ መልአክ ከሰማይ ሲወርድ አየሁ።

²and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years,

²የቀደመውንም እባብ ዘንዶውን እርሱም ዲያብሎስና ሰይጣን የተባለውን ያዘው፥

³and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time.

³ሺህ ዓመትም አሰረው፥ ወደ ጥልቅም ጣለው አሕዛብንም ወደ ፊት እንዳያስት ሺህ ዓመት እስኪፈጸም ድረስ በእርሱ ላይ ዘግቶ ማኅተም አደረገበት፤ ከዚያም በኋላ ለጥቂት ጊዜ ይፈታ ዘንድ ይገባዋል።

⁴And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;

⁴ዙፋኖችንም አየሁ፥ በእነርሱም ላይ ለተቀመጡት ዳኝነት ተሰጣቸው፤ ስለ ኢየሱስም ምስክርና ስለ እግዚአብሔር ቃል ራሶቻቸው የተቈረጡባቸውን ሰዎች ነፍሳት፥ ለአውሬውና ለምስሉም ያልሰገዱትን ምልክቱንም በግምባራቸው በእጆቻቸውም ላይ ያልተቀበሉትን አየሁ፤ ከክርስቶስም ጋር ሺህ ዓመት ኖሩና ነገሡ።

⁵and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this [is] the first rising again.

⁵የቀሩቱ ሙታን ግን ይህ ሺህ ዓመት እስኪፈጸም ድረስ በሕይወት አልኖሩም። ይህ የፊተኛው ትንሣኤ ነው።

⁶Happy and holy [is] he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

⁶በፊተኛው ትንሣኤ ዕድል ያለው ብፁዕና ቅዱስ ነው፤ ሁለተኛው ሞት በእነርሱ ላይ ሥልጣን የለውም፥ ዳሩ ግን የእግዚአብሔርና የክርስቶስ ካህናት ይሆናሉ ከእርሱም ጋር ይህን ሺህ ዓመት ይነግሣሉ።

⁷And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary shall be loosed out of his prison,

⁷ሺሁም ዓመት ሲፈጸም ሰይጣን ከእስራቱ ይፈታል፥

⁸and he shall go forth to lead the nations astray, that are in the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog — to gather them together to war, of whom the number [is] as the sand of the sea;

⁸በአራቱም በምድር ማዕዘን ያሉትን አሕዛብ፥ ጎግንና ማጎግን፥ እንዲያስታቸው ለሰልፍም እንዲያስከትታቸው ይወጣል፤ ቍጥራቸውም እንደ ባሕር አሸዋ የሚያህል ነው።

⁹and they did go up over the breadth of the land, and did surround the camp of the saints, and the beloved city, and there came down fire from God out of the heaven, and devoured them;

⁹ወደ ምድርም ስፋት ወጡ የቅዱሳንንም ሰፈርና የተወደደችውን ከተማ ከበቡ፤ እሳትም ከሰማይ ከእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ወርዳ በላቻቸው።

¹⁰and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night — to the ages of the ages.

¹⁰ያሳታቸውም ዲያብሎስ አውሬውና ሐሰተኛው ነቢይ ወዳሉበት ወደ እሳቱና ወደ ዲኑ ባሕር ተጣለ፥ ለዘላለምም እስከ ዘላለም ቀንና ሌሊት ይሣቀያሉ።

¹¹And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them;

¹¹ታላቅና ነጭ ዙፋንን በእርሱም ላይ የተቀመጠውን አየሁ፥ ምድርና ሰማይም ከፊቱ ሸሹ ስፍራም አልተገኘላቸውም።

¹²and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls — according to their works;

¹²ሙታንንም ታናናሾችንና ታላላቆችን በዙፋኑ ፊት ቆመው አየሁ፥ መጻሕፍትም ተከፈቱ፤ ሌላ መጽሐፍም ተከፈተ እርሱም የሕይወት መጽሐፍ ነው፤ ሙታንም በመጻሕፍት ተጽፎ እንደ ነበረ እንደ ሥራቸው መጠን ተከፈሉ።

¹³and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works;

¹³ባሕርም በእርሱ ውስጥ ያሉትን ሙታን ሰጠ፥ ሞትና ሲኦልም በእነርሱ ዘንድ ያሉትን ሙታን ሰጡ፥ እያንዳንዱም እንደ ሥራው መጠን ተከፈለ።

¹⁴and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire — this [is] the second death;

¹⁴ሞትና ሲኦልም በእሳት ባሕር ውስጥ ተጣሉ። ይህም የእሳት ባሕር ሁለተኛው ሞት ነው።

¹⁵and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

¹⁵በሕይወትም መጽሐፍ ተጽፎ ያልተገኘው ማንኛውም በእሳት ባሕር ውስጥ ተጣለ።
