¹Zvino ndakaona, tarira, Gwayana rimire pagomo Ziyoni, rine zvuru zana nemakumi mana nevana, vane zita raBaba varo rakanyorwa pahuma dzavo.

¹And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

²Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richibva kudenga senzwi remvura zhinji, uye senzwi remutinhiro mukuru; ndikanzwa inzwi revaridzi veudimbwa vachiridza udimbwa hwavo.

²And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

³Vakaimba sezvinonzi rwaiva rwiyo rutsva pamberi pechigaro cheushe, nepamberi pezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina, nevakuru; uyo hakuna wakagona kudzidza rwiyo, asi zvuru zana nemakumi mana nevana, vakadzikinurwa panyika.

³And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

⁴Ndivo vasina kusvibiswa nevakadzi; nekuti imhandara. Ndivo avo vanotevera Gwayana kose kwarinoenda. Ndivo vakadzikinurwa kubva pakati pevanhu, zvibereko zvekutanga kuna Mwari nekuGwayana.

⁴These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

⁵Mumuromo mavo hamuna kuwanikwa kunyengera, nekuti havana chavangapomerwa pamberi pechigaro cheushe chaMwari.

⁵And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

⁶Zvino ndakaona umwe mutumwa achibhururuka pakati pedenga, ane evhangeri yekusingaperi, kuti aiparidzire avo vanogara panyika, nekurudzi rwose, nedzinza, nerurimi, nevanhu.

⁶And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

⁷Achiti nenzwi guru: Ityai Mwari, mupe rumbidzo kwaari; nekuti nguva yekutonga kwake yasvika; uye namatai iye wakasika denga nenyika negungwa nezvitubu zvemvura.

⁷Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

⁸Zvino umwe mutumwa wakatevera achiti: Rawa, Rawa, Bhabhironi, guta guru, rakamwisa marudzi ose waini yekutsamwa koupombwe hwaro.

⁸And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

⁹Zvino mutumwa wechitatu wakavatevera achiti nenzwi guru: Kana pane unonamata chikara nemufananidzo wacho, nekugamuchira mucherechedzo pahuma yake kana paruoko rwake.

⁹And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

¹⁰ndiye uchamwa waini yekutsamwa kwaMwari, yakadirwa isina kuvhenganiswa mumukombe wekutsamwa kwake; uye ucharwadziswa nemoto nesarufa pamberi pevatumwa vatsvene, nepamberi peGwayana.

¹⁰The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

¹¹Zvino utsi hwokurwadziwa kwavo hwunokwira kusvikira rinhi narinhi; zvekare havana zororo masikati neusiku ivo vanonamata chikara nemufananidzo wacho, nani nani unogamuchira mucherechedzo wezita racho.

¹¹And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

¹²Hekuno kutsungirira kwevatsvene, hevano vanochengeta mirairo yaMwari nerutendo rwaJesu.

¹²Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹³Zvino ndakanzwa inzwi richibva kudenga richiti kwandiri: Nyora, uti: Vakaropafadzwa vakafa, vanofira muna Ishe kubva ikozvino. Hongu, ndizvo zvinotaura Mweya, kuti vazorore pakushingaira kwavo, nemabasa avo anovatevera.

¹³And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

¹⁴Zvino ndakaona, tarira, gore jena, nepamusoro pegore pakagara wakaita seMwanakomana wemunhu, ane korona yendarama pamusoro wake, neparuoko rwake jeko rinopinza.

¹⁴And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁵Zvino umwe mutumwa wakabuda mutembere, achidanidzira nenzwi guru kuna iye wakange agere pamusoro pegore, achiti: Tumai jeko renyu mukohwe; nekuti nguva yekuti mukohwe yasvika, nekuti kukohwa kwenyika kwaibva.

¹⁵And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

¹⁶Ipapo wakange agere pamusoro pegore akakandira jeko rake panyika, nenyika ikakohwewa.

¹⁶And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

¹⁷Zvino umwe mutumwa wakabuda mutembere iri kudenga, iyewo ane jeko rinopinza.

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

¹⁸Neumwe mutumwa akabuda muaritari, wakange ane simba pamusoro pemoto, akadanidzira nenzwi guru kuna iye wakange ane jeko rinopinza, achiti: Tumai jeko renyu rinopinza, muunganidze masumbu emuzambiringa wenyika, nekuti mazambiringa awo aibva.

¹⁸And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

¹⁹Zvino mutumwa wakakandira jeko rake panyika, akaunganidza mazambiringa enyika, akakandira muchisviniro chewaini chikuru chekutsamwa kwaMwari.

¹⁹And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

²⁰Asi chisvinuro chewaini chakatsikwa-tsikwa kunze kweguta, ropa rikabuda muchisviniro chewaini kusvikira rasvika pamatomu amabhiza, rikasvika mastadhia* churu mazana matanhatu.

²⁰And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
