¹Uye shure kwezvinhu izvi ndakaona vatumwa vana, vamire kumativi mana enyika, vakabata mhepo ina dzenyika, kuti mhepo irege kurira panyika, kana pagungwa, kana pamuti umwe neumwe.

¹And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

²Uye ndakaona umwe mutumwa achikwira achibva kumabvazuva, ane mucherechedzo waMwari mupenyu; akadana nenzwi guru kuvatumwa vana, vaya vakange vapiwa simba kuti vatadzire nyika negungwa,

²And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

³achiti: Musatadzira nyika, kana gungwa, kana miti, kusvikira taisa mucherechedzo varanda vaMwari pahuma.

³Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

⁴Ndikanzwa uwandu hwaivo vakaiswa mucherechedzo; zvuru zana nemakumi mana nezvina, vakaiswa mucherechedzo vachibva kumarudzi ose evana vaIsraeri.

⁴And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

⁹Shure kwaizvozvi ndakaona, zvino tarira, chaunga chikuru chisingagoni kuverengwa nemunhu, vakabva kundudzi dzose, nemarudzi, nevanhu, nendimi, vamire pamberi pechigaro cheushe, nepamberi peGwayana vakapfeka nguvo chena, nemichindwe mumaoko avo;

⁹After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

¹⁰vakadanidzira nenzwi guru, vachiti: Ruponeso ngaruve kuna Mwari unogara pachigaro cheushe, nekuGwayana.

¹⁰And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

¹¹Zvino vatumwa vose vakamira vakakomba chigaro cheushe, nevakuru, nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina, vakawa nezviso zvavo pamberi pechigaro cheushe, vakanamata Mwari,

¹¹And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

¹²vachiti: Ameni: Kurumbidzwa, nekubwinya, nenjere, nekuvonga, nerukudzo, nesimba, nechiremerera ngazvive kuna Mwari kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni.

¹²Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹³Zvino umwe wevakuru wakapindura, achiti kwandiri: Ava vakapfeka nguvo chena ndivana ani? Uye vakabvepi?

¹³And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

¹⁴Ndikati kwaari: Ishe, ndimwi munoziva. Akati kwandiri: Ava ndivo vanobva mukutambudzika kukuru, vakasuka nguvo dzavo vakadzichenesa muropa reGwayana.

¹⁴And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵Naizvozvo vari pamberi pechigaro cheushe chaMwari, vanomushumira masikati neusiku mutembere yake; uye unogara pachigaro cheushe, uchavadzitira.

¹⁵Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

¹⁶Havachazoziyizve kana kuzova nenyotazve; zuva haringavapenyeri kana kumwe kupisa;

¹⁶They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

¹⁷Nekuti Gwayana riri pakati pechigaro cheushe richavafudza, uye richavatungamirira kuzvitubu zvipenyu zvemvura; Mwari uchapusika misodzi yose kumeso avo.

¹⁷For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
