¹And there was given to me a reed like a staff, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it.

¹Kisha nikapewa mwanzi uliokuwa kama kijiti cha kupimia, nikaambiwa, "Inuka, ukalipime Hekalu la Mungu, madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani, na ukawahesabu watu wanaoabudu ndani ya Hekalu.

²And the court which [is] without the temple cast out, and measure it not; because it has been given [up] to the nations, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months.

²Lakini uache ukumbi ulio nje ya Hekalu; usiupime, maana huo umekabidhiwa watu wa mataifa mengine, ambao wataukanyanga mji Mtakatifu kwa muda wa miezi arobaini na miwili.

³And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

³Nami nitawatuma mashahidi wangu wawili ili watangaze ujumbe wa Mungu kwa muda huo wa siku elfu moja mia mbili na sitini wakiwa wamevaa mavazi ya magunia."

⁴These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth;

⁴Hao mashahidi wawili ni miti miwili ya Mizeituni na taa mbili zinazosimama mbele ya Bwana wa dunia.

⁵and if any one wills to injure them, fire goes out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. And if any one wills to injure them, thus must he be killed.

⁵Kama mtu akijaribu kuwadhuru, moto hutoka kinywani mwao na kuwaangamiza adui zao; na kila mtu atakayejaribu kuwadhuru atakufa namna hiyo.

⁶These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall during the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague.

⁶Hao wanayo mamlaka ya kufunga anga, mvua isinyeshe wakati wanapotangaza ujumbe wa Mungu. Tena wanayo mamlaka ya kuzigeuza chemchemi zote za maji ziwe damu, na ya kusababisha maafa ya kila namna duniani kila mara wapendavyo.

⁷And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast who comes up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and shall conquer them, and shall kill them:

⁷Lakini wakisha maliza kutangaza ujumbe huo, mnyama atokaye shimoni kuzimu atapigana nao, atawashinda na kuwaua.

⁸and their body [shall be] on the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

⁸Maiti zao zitabaki katika barabara za mji mkuu ambapo Bwana wao alisulubiwa; jina la kupanga la mji huo ni Sodoma au Misri.

⁹And [men] of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their body three days and a half, and they do not suffer their bodies to be put into a sepulchre.

⁹Watu wa kila kabila, lugha, taifa na rangi wataziangalia maiti hizo kwa muda wa siku tatu na nusu, na hawataruhusu zizikwe.

¹⁰And they that dwell upon the earth rejoice over them, and are full of delight, and shall send gifts one to another, because these, the two prophets, tormented them that dwell upon the earth.

¹⁰Watu waishio duniani watafurahia kifo cha hao wawili. Watafanya sherehe na kupelekeana zawadi maana manabii hawa wawili walikuwa wamewasumbua mno watu wa dunia.

¹¹And after the three days and a half [the] spirit of life from God came into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those beholding them.

¹¹Lakini baada ya zile siku tatu na nusu pumzi ya uhai kutoka kwa Mungu iliwaingia, nao wakasimama; wote waliowaona wakaingiwa na hofu kuu.

¹²And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, Come up here; and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.

¹²Kisha hao manabii wawili wakasikia sauti kubwa kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, "Njoni hapa juu!" Nao wakapanda juu mbinguni katika wingu, maadui wao wakiwa wanawatazama.

¹³And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were slain in the earthquake. And the remnant were filled with fear, and gave glory to the God of the heaven.

¹³Wakati huohuo, kukatokea tetemeko kubwa la ardhi, sehemu moja ya kumi ya ardhi ikaharibiwa. Watu elfu saba wakauawa kwa tetemeko hilo la ardhi. Watu waliosalia wakaogopa sana, wakamtukuza Mungu wa mbinguni.

¹⁴The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe comes quickly.

¹⁴Maafa ya pili yamepita; lakini tazama! Maafa ya tatu yanafuata hima.

¹⁵And the seventh angel sounded [his] trumpet: and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world of our Lord and of his Christ is come, and he shall reign to the ages of ages.

¹⁵Kisha malaika wa saba akapiga tarumbeta yake. Na sauti kuu zikasikika mbinguni zikisema, "Sasa utawala juu ya ulimwengu ni wa Bwana wetu na Kristo wake. Naye atatawala milele na milele!"

¹⁶And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

¹⁶Kisha wale wazee ishirini na wanne walioketi mbele ya Mungu katika viti vyao vya enzi, wakaanguka kifudifudi, wakamwabudu Mungu,

¹⁷saying, We give thee thanks, Lord God Almighty, [He] who is, and who was, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast reigned.

¹⁷wakisema: "Bwana Mungu Mwenye uwezo, uliyeko na uliyekuwako! Tunakushukuru, maana umetumia nguvu yako kuu ukaanza kutawala!

¹⁸And the nations have been full of wrath, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the recompense to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear thy name, small and great; and to destroy those that destroy the earth.

¹⁸Watu wa mataifa waliwaka hasira, maana wakati wa ghadhabu yako umefika, wakati wa kuwahukumu wafu. Ndio wakati wa kuwatuza watumishi wako manabii, watu wako na wote wanaolitukuza jina lako, wakubwa kwa wadogo. Ni wakati wa kuwaangamiza wale wanaoangamiza dunia."

¹⁹And the temple of God in the heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

¹⁹Hekalu la Mungu mbinguni likafunguliwa, na Sanduku la Agano lake likaonekana Hekaluni mwake. Kisha kukatokea umeme, sauti, ngurumo, tetemeko la ardhi, na mvua kubwa ya mawe.
