¹And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful, seven messengers having the seven last plagues, because in these was completed the wrath of God,

¹Kisha nikaona ishara nyingine mbinguni, kubwa na ya kushangaza. Palikuwa hapo malaika saba wenye mabaa makubwa saba ya mwisho. Kwa mabaa hayo makubwa saba, ghadhabu ya Mungu imekamilishwa.

²and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who do gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, [and] the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God,

²Kisha nikaona kitu kama bahari ya kioo, imechanganywa na moto. Nikawaona pia wale watu waliomshinda yule mnyama na sanamu yake na ambaye jina lake lilitajwa kwa ile tarakimu. Watu hao walikuwa wamesimama kando ya hiyo bahari ya kioo, wakiwa na vinubi walivyopewa na Mungu.

³and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful [are] Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true [are] Thy ways, O King of saints,

³Walikuwa wakiimba wimbo wa Mose, mtumishi wa Mungu, na wimbo wa Mwanakondoo: "Bwana Mungu Mwenye Uwezo, matendo yako ni makuu mno! Ewe Mfalme wa mataifa, njia zako ni za haki na za kweli!

⁴who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou alone [art] kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were manifested.`

⁴Bwana, ni nani asiyekucha wewe? Nani asiyelitukuza jina lako? Wewe peke yako ni Mtakatifu. Mataifa yote yatakujia na kukuabudu maana matendo yako ya haki yameonekana na wote."

⁵And after these things I saw, and lo, opened was the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven;

⁵Baada ya hayo nikaona Hekalu limefunguliwa mbinguni, na ndani yake hema ionyeshayo kuwapo kwa Mungu.

⁶and come forth did the seven messengers having the seven plagues, out of the sanctuary, clothed in linen, pure and shining, and girded round the breasts with golden girdles:

⁶Basi, wale malaika saba wenye mabaa saba wakatoka humo Hekaluni, wakiwa wamevaa nguo za kitani safi zenye kung'aa, na kanda za dhahabu vifuani mwao.

⁷and one of the four living creatures did give to the seven messengers seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who is living to the ages of the ages;

⁷Kisha, mmojawapo wa vile viumbe vinne akawapa hao malaika saba mabakuli ya dhahabu yaliyojaa ghadhabu ya Mungu, aishiye milele na milele.

⁸and filled was the sanctuary with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power, and no one was able to enter into the sanctuary till the seven plagues of the seven messengers may be finished.

⁸Hekalu likajaa moshi uliosababishwa na utukufu na nguvu ya Mungu, na hakuna mtu aliyeweza kuingia Hekaluni mpaka mwisho wa mabaa makubwa saba ya wale malaika saba.
