¹And after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, `Alleluia! the salvation, and the glory, and the honour, and the power, [is] to 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!

²because true and righteous [are] His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge 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 a second time they said, `Alleluia;` and her smoke doth come up — to the ages of the ages!

³Wakasema, "Asifiwe Mungu! Moshi wa moto unaoteketeza mji huo utapanda juu milele na milele!"

⁴And fall down did the elders — the twenty and four — and the four living creatures, and they did bow before God who is sitting upon 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 out of the throne did come forth, saying, `Praise our God, all ye His servants, and those fearing Him, both the small and the great;`

⁵Kisha kukatokea sauti kwenye kiti cha enzi: "Msifuni Mungu enyi watumishi wake wote, nyote mnaomcha, wadogo kwa wakubwa."

⁶and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, `Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God — the Almighty!

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!

⁷may we rejoice and exult, and give the glory to Him, because come did the marriage of the Lamb, and his wife did make herself ready;

⁷Tufurahi na kushangilia; tumtukuze, kwani wakati wa arusi ya Mwanakondoo umefika, na bibi arusi yuko tayari.

⁸and there was given to her that she may be arrayed with fine linen, pure and shining, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the 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 to me, `Write: Happy [are] they who to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb have been called;` and he saith to me, `These [are] the true words 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 before his feet, to bow before him, and he saith to me, `See — not! fellow servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren, those having the testimony of Jesus; bow before God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of the 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 the heaven having been opened, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness doth he judge and 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.

¹²and his eyes [are] as a flame of fire, and upon his head [are] many diadems — having a name written that no one hath known, except 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 is arrayed with a garment covered with 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 in the heaven were following him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen — white and pure;

¹⁴Majeshi ya mbinguni yalimfuata yakiwa yamepanda farasi weupe na walikuwa wamevaa mavazi ya kitani, meupe na safi.

¹⁵and out of his mouth doth proceed a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he doth tread the press of the wine of the wrath and the anger of God the Almighty,

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 upon the garment and upon his thigh the 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 one messenger standing in the sun, and he cried, a great voice, saying to all the birds that are flying in mid-heaven, `Come and be gathered together to 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 flesh of kings, and flesh of chiefs of thousands, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses, and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all — freemen and servants — 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, having been gathered together to make war with him who is sitting upon the horse, and with 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 who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before his image; living they were cast — the two — to the lake of the fire, that is 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 rest were killed with the sword of him who is sitting on the horse, which [sword] is proceeding out of his mouth, and all the birds were filled out of their flesh.

²¹Majeshi yao yaliuawa kwa upanga uliotoka kinywani mwa yule anayepanda farasi. Ndege wote wakajishibisha kwa nyama zao.
