¹And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing upon mount Zion, and with him a hundred [and] forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written upon their foreheads.

¹Kisha nikaona mlima Sioni, na Mwanakondoo amesimama juu yake; pamoja naye walikuwa watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu ambao juu ya paji za nyuso zao walikuwa wameandikwa jina la Mwanakondoo na jina la Baba yake.

²And I heard a voice out of the heaven as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder. And the voice which I heard [was] as of harp-singers harping with their harps;

²Basi, nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni, sauti iliyokuwa kama sauti ya maji mengi na kama sauti ya ngurumo kubwa. Sauti niliyosikia ilikuwa kama sauti ya wachezaji muziki wakipiga vinubi vyao.

³and they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn that song save the hundred [and] forty-four thousand who were bought from the earth.

³Walikuwa wanaimba wimbo mpya mbele ya kiti cha enzi na mbele ya wale viumbe hai wanne na wale wazee. Hakuna mtu aliyeweza kujifunza wimbo huo isipokuwa hao watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu waliokombolewa duniani.

⁴These are they who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb wheresoever it goes. These have been bought from men [as] first-fruits to God and to the Lamb:

⁴Watu hao ndio wale waliojiweka safi kwa kutoonana kimwili na wanawake, nao ni mabikira. Wao humfuata Mwanakondoo kokote aendako. Wamekombolewa kutoka miongoni mwa binadamu wengine, wakawa wa kwanza kutolewa kwa Mungu na kwa Mwanakondoo.

⁵and in their mouths was no lie found; [for] they are blameless.

⁵Hawakupata kamwe kuwa waongo; hawana hatia yoyote.

⁶And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having [the] everlasting glad tidings to announce to those settled on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people,

⁶Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine anaruka juu angani akiwa na Habari Njema ya milele ya Mungu, aitangaze kwa watu wote waishio duniani, kwa mataifa yote, makabila yote, watu wa lugha zote na rangi zote.

⁷saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and do homage to him who has made the heaven and the earth and the sea and fountains of waters.

⁷Akasema kwa sauti kubwa, "Mcheni Mungu na kumtukuza! Maana saa imefika ya kutoa hukumu yake. Mwabuduni yeye aliyeumba mbingu na nchi, bahari na chemchemi za maji."

⁸And another, a second, angel followed, saying, Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, which of the wine of the fury of her fornication has made all nations drink.

⁸Malaika wa pili alimfuata huyo wa kwanza akisema, "Ameanguka! Naam, Babuloni mkuu ameanguka! Babuloni ambaye aliwapa mataifa yote wainywe divai yake--divai kali ya uzinzi wake!"

⁹And another, a third, angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one do homage to the beast and its image, and receive a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand,

⁹Na malaika wa tatu aliwafuata hao wawili akisema kwa sauti kubwa, "Yeyote anayemwabudu yule mnyama na sanamu yake na kukubali kutiwa alama yake juu ya paji la uso wake au juu ya mkono wake,

¹⁰he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God prepared unmixed in the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb.

¹⁰yeye mwenyewe atakunywa divai ya ghadhabu ya Mungu, ambayo imemiminwa katika kikombe cha ghadhabu yake bila kuchanganywa na maji. Mtu huyo atateseka ndani ya moto na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu na mbele ya Mwanakondoo.

¹¹And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages, and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the beast and to its image, and if any one receive the mark of its name.

¹¹Moshi wa moto unaowatesa kupanda juu milele na milele. Watu hao waliomwabudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kutiwa alama ya jina lake, hawatakuwa na nafuu yoyote usiku na mchana."

¹²Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

¹²Kutokana na hayo, ni lazima watu wa Mungu, yaani watu wanaotii amri ya Mungu na kumwamini Yesu, wawe na uvumilivu.

¹³And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Write, Blessed the dead who die in [the] Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow with them.

¹³Kisha nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, "Andika! Heri watu ambao tangu sasa wanakufa wakiwa wameungana na Bwana." Naye Roho asema, "Naam! Watapumzika kutoka taabu zao; maana matunda ya jasho lao yatawafuata."

¹⁴And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like [the] Son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁴Kisha nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwapo wingu jeupe hapo. Na juu ya wingu hilo kulikuwa na kiumbe kama mtu. Alikuwa amevaa taji ya dhahabu kichwani, na kushika mundu mkononi mwake.

¹⁵And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send thy sickle and reap; for the hour of reaping is come, for the harvest of the earth is dried.

¹⁵Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka Hekaluni, na kwa sauti kubwa akamwambia yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu, "Tafadhali, tumia mundu wako ukavune mavuno, maana wakati wa mavuno umefika; mavuno ya dunia yameiva."

¹⁶And he that sat on the cloud put his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

¹⁶Basi, yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu akautupa mundu wake duniani, na mavuno ya dunia yakavunwa.

¹⁷And another angel came out of the temple which [is] in the heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

¹⁷Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka katika Hekalu mbinguni akiwa na mundu wenye makali.

¹⁸And another angel came out of the altar, having power over fire, and called with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and gather the bunches of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripened.

¹⁸Kisha malaika mwingine msimamizi wa moto, akatoka madhabahuni akamwambia kwa sauti kubwa yule malaika mwenye mundu wenye makali, "Nawe tia huo mundu wako mkali, ukakate vichala vya mizabibu ya dunia, maana zabibu zake zimeiva!"

¹⁹And the angel put his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [the bunches] into the great wine-press of the fury of God;

¹⁹Basi, malaika huyo akautupa mundu wake duniani, akakata zabibu za dunia, akazitia ndani ya chombo kikubwa cha kukamulia zabibu, chombo cha ghadhabu ya Mungu.

²⁰and the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood went out of the wine-press to the bits of the horses for a thousand six hundred stadia.

²⁰Zabibu zikakamuliwa ndani ya hilo shinikizo lililoko nje ya mji, na damu ikatoka katika shinikizo hilo mtiririko mrefu kiasi cha mita mia tatu na kina chake kiasi cha mita mia mbili.
