¹After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah: the salvation and the glory and the power of 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!

²for true and righteous [are] his judgments; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen 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, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up to the ages of ages.

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

⁴And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah.

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 came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his bondmen, [and] ye that fear him, small and great.

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

⁶And I heard as a voice of a great crowd, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah, for [the] Lord our God the Almighty has taken to himself kingly power.

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!

⁷Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.

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

⁸And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright [and] pure; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses 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 says to me, Write, Blessed [are] they who are called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says 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 do him homage. And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God. For the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

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 opened, and behold, a white horse, and one sitting on it, [called] Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness.

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 a flame of fire, and upon his head many diadems, having a name written which no one knows but 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] clothed with a garment dipped in 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 which [are] in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen.

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

¹⁵And out of his mouth goes a sharp [two-edged] sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath 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 has upon his garment, and upon his thigh, a 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 an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come, gather yourselves to the great supper of 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 chiliarchs, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses and of those that sit upon them, and flesh of all, both free and bond, and 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 gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against 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 the false prophet that [was] with him, who wrought the signs before him by which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and those that worship his image. Alive were both cast into the lake of fire which burns 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 slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which goes out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

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