¹And I heard a great voice out of the sanctuary saying to the seven messengers, `Go away, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God to the earth;`

¹Kisha nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka Hekaluni ikiwaambia wale malaika saba, "Nendeni mkamwage mabakuli hayo saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu duniani."

²and the first did go away, and did pour out his vial upon the land, and there came a sore — bad and grievous — to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those bowing to his image.

²Basi, malaika wa kwanza akaenda akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya nchi. Mara madonda mabaya na ya kuumiza sana yakawapata wote waliokuwa na alama ya yule mnyama, na wale walioiabudu sanamu yake.

³And the second messenger did pour out his vial to the sea, and there came blood as of [one] dead, and every living soul died in the sea.

³Kisha malaika wa pili akamwaga bakuli lake baharini. Nayo bahari ikawa damu tupu kama damu ya mtu aliyekufa, na viumbe vyote hai baharini vikafa.

⁴And the third messenger did pour out his vial to the rivers, and to the fountains of the waters, and there came blood,

⁴Malaika wa tatu akamwaga bakuli lake katika mito na chemchemi za maji, navyo vikageuka damu.

⁵and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, `righteous, O Lord, art Thou, who art, and who wast, and who shalt be, because these things Thou didst judge,

⁵Nikamsikia malaika msimamizi wa maji akisema, "Ewe mtakatifu, Uliyeko na uliyekuwako! Wewe ni mwenye haki katika hukumu hii uliyotoa.

⁶because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;`

⁶Maana waliimwaga damu ya watu wako na ya manabii, nawe umewapa damu wainywe; wamestahili hivyo!"

⁷and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous [are] Thy judgments.`

⁷Kisha nikasikia sauti madhabahuni ikisema, "Naam, Bwana Mungu Mwenye Uwezo! Hukumu zako ni za kweli na haki!"

⁸And the fourth messenger did pour out his vial upon the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire,

⁸Kisha malaika wa nne akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya jua. Jua likapewa nguvu ya kuwachoma watu kwa moto wake.

⁹and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues, and they did not reform — to give to Him glory.

⁹Basi, watu wakaunguzwa vibaya sana; wakamtukana Mungu aliye na uwezo juu ya mabaa hayo makubwa. Lakini hawakuziacha dhambi zao na kumtukuza Mungu.

¹⁰And the fifth messenger did pour out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and his kingdom did become darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain,

¹⁰Kisha malaika wa tano akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya makao makuu ya yule mnyama. Giza likauvamia utawala wake, watu wakauma ndimi zao kwa sababu za maumivu,

¹¹and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from their works.

¹¹wakamtukana Mungu wa mbinguni kwa sababu ya maumivu yao na madonda yao. Lakini hawakuyaacha matendo yao mabaya.

¹²And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;

¹²Kisha malaika wa sita akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya mto mkubwa uitwao Eufrate. Maji yake yakakauka, na hivyo njia ilitengenezwa kwa ajili ya wafalme wa mashariki.

¹³and I saw [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs —

¹³Kisha nikaona pepo wabaya watatu walio kama vyura, wakitoka kinywani mwa yule joka, kinywani mwa yule mnyama, na kinywani mwa yule nabii wa uongo.

¹⁴for they are spirits of demons, doing signs — which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty; —

¹⁴Hawa ndio roho za pepo wafanyao miujiza. Ndio wanaokwenda kwa wafalme wa ulimwengu wote na kuwakusanya pamoja kwa ajili ya vita kuu Siku ile ya Mungu Mwenye Uwezo.

¹⁵`lo, I do come as a thief; happy [is] he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness,` —

¹⁵"Sikiliza! Mimi naja kama mwizi! Heri mtu akeshaye na kuvaa nguo zake ili asije akaenda uchi huko na huko mbele ya watu."

¹⁶and they did bring them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.

¹⁶Basi, roho hao wakawakusanya hao wafalme mahali paitwapo kwa Kiebrania Harmagedoni.

¹⁷And the seventh messenger did pour out his vial to the air, and there came forth a great voice from the sanctuary of the heaven, from the throne, saying, `It hath come!`

¹⁷Kisha malaika wa saba akamwaga bakuli lake hewani. Sauti kubwa ikasikika kutoka kwenye kiti cha enzi, Hekaluni, ikisema, "Mwisho umefika!"

¹⁸and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake — so great!

¹⁸Kukatokea umeme, kelele, ngurumo na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi ambalo halijapata kutokea tangu Mungu alipomuumba mtu.

¹⁹And it came — the great city — into three parts, and the cities of the nations did fall, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger,

¹⁹Mji ule mkuu ukapasuliwa sehemu tatu, nayo miji ya mataifa ikateketea. Babuloni, mji mkuu, haukusahauliwa na Mungu. Aliunywesha kikombe cha divai ya ghadhabu yake kuu.

²⁰and every island did flee away, and mountains were not found,

²⁰Visiwa vyote vikatoweka, nayo milima haikuonekena tena.

²¹and great hail (as of talent weight) doth come down out of the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.

²¹Mvua ya mawe makubwa yenye uzito wa kama kilo hamsini kila moja, ikawanyeshea watu. Nao wakamtukana Mungu kwa sababu ya mapigo ya mvua hiyo ya mawe. Naam, pigo la mvua hiyo ya mawe lilikuwa kubwa mno.
