1በትር የሚመስል መለኪያ ለእኔ ተሰጠኝ፥ እንዲህም ተባለልኝ። ተነሥተህ የእግዚአብሔርን መቅደስና መሠዊያውን በዚያም የሚሰግዱትን ለካ።
1A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise, and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
2በመቅደሱም ውጭ ያለው እድሞ ለአሕዛብ ተሰጥቶአልና ተወው አትለካውም፤ እነርሱም አርባ ሁለት ወር የተቀደሰችውን ከተማ ይረግጡአታል።
2Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
3ለሁለቱም ምስክሮቼ ማቅ ለብሰው ሺህ ከሁለት መቶ ስድሳ ቀን ትንቢት ሊናገሩ እሰጣለሁ።
3I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4እነዚህ በምድር ጌታ ፊት የሚቆሙ ሁለቱ ወይራዎችና ሁለቱ መቅረዞች ናቸው።
4These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
5ማንምም ሊጐዳቸው ቢወድ እሳት ከአፋቸው ይወጣል ጠላቶቻቸውንም ይበላል፤ ማንም ሊጐዳቸው ቢወድም እንዲሁ ሊገደል ይገባዋል።
5If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
6እነዚህ ትንቢት በሚናገሩበት ወራት ዝናብ እንዳይዘንብ ሰማይን ሊዘጉ ሥልጣን አላቸው፥ ውኃዎችንም ወደ ደም ሊለውጡ በሚፈልጉበትም ጊዜ ሁሉ በመቅሠፍት ሁሉ ምድርን ሊመቱ ሥልጣን አላቸው።
6These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
7ምስክራቸውን ከፈጸሙ በኋላ ከጥልቁ የሚወጣው አውሬ ይዋጋቸዋል ያሸንፋቸውማል ይገድላቸውማል።
7When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.
8በድናቸውም በታላቂቱ ከተማ አደባባይ ይተኛል እርስዋም በመንፈሳዊ ምሳሌ ሰዶምና ግብጽ የተባለች ደግሞ ጌታቸው የተሰቀለባት ናት።
8Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
9ከወገኖችና ከነገዶችም ከቋንቋዎችም ከአሕዛብም የሆኑ ሰዎች ሦስት ቀን ተኵል በድናቸውን ይመለከታሉ፥ በድናቸውም ወደ መቃብር ሊገባ አይፈቅዱም።
9From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
10እነዚህም ሁለት ነቢያት በምድር የሚኖሩትን ስለ ሣቀዩ በምድር የሚኖሩት በእነርሱ ላይ ደስ ይላቸዋል በደስታም ይኖራሉ እርስ በርሳቸውም ስጦታ ይሰጣጣሉ።
10Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
11ከሦስቱ ቀን ተኵልም በኋላ ከእግዚአብሔር የወጣ የሕይወት መንፈስ ገባባቸው በእግሮቻቸውም ቆሙ፥ ታላቅም ፍርሃት በሚመለከቱት ላይ ወደቀባቸው።
11After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.
12በሰማይም። ወደዚህ ውጡ የሚላቸውን ታላቅ ድምፅ ሰሙ፤ ጠላቶቻቸውም እየተመለከቱአቸው ወደ ሰማይ በደመና ወጡ።
12I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.
13በዚያም ሰዓት ታላቅ የምድር መናወጥ ሆነ፥ ከከተማይቱም አሥረኛው እጅ ወደቀ፥ በመናወጥም ሰባት ሺህ ሰዎች ተገደሉ፥ የቀሩትንም ፍርሃት ያዛቸው፥ ለሰማዩም አምላክ ክብር ሰጡ።
13In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14ሁለተኛው ወዮ አልፎአል፤ እነሆ፥ ሦስተኛው ወዮ በቶሎ ይመጣል።
14The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.
15ሰባተኛው መልአክ ነፋ፤ በሰማይም። የዓለም መንግሥት ለጌታችንና ለእርሱ ለክርስቶስ ሆነች፥ ለዘላለምም እስከ ዘላለም ይነግሣል
15The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”
16የሚሉ ታላላቅ ድምፆች ሆኑ። በእግዚአብሔርም ፊት በዙፋኖቻቸው የተቀመጡ ሀያ አራቱ ሽማግሌዎች በግምባራቸው ተደፍተው
16The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17ለእግዚአብሔር እየሰገዱ እንዲህ አሉ። ያለህና የነበርህ ሁሉን የምትገዛ ጌታ እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፥ ትልቁን ኃይልህን ስለ ያዝህ ስለ ነገሥህም እናመሰግንሃለን፤
17saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was TR adds “and who is coming” ; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.
18አሕዛብም ተቈጡ፥ ቍጣህም መጣ፥ በሙታንም ትፈርድ ዘንድ ዘመን መጣ፥ ለባሪያዎችህም ለነቢያትና ለቅዱሳን ስምህንም ለሚፈሩት ለታናናሾችና ለታላላቆችም ዋጋቸውን ትሰጥ ዘንድ፥ ምድርንም የሚያጠፉትን ታጠፋ ዘንድ ዘመን መጣ።
18The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19በሰማይም ያለው የእግዚአብሔር መቅደስ ተከፈተ፥ የኪዳኑም ታቦት በመቅደሱ ታየ፥ መብረቅና ድምፅም ነጐድጓድም የምድርም መናወጥ ታላቅም በረዶ ሆነ።
19God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
