¹Zvino ndakaona mutumwa achiburuka kubva kudenga ane kiyi yegomba risina chigadziko, neketani huru muruoko rwake.

¹And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand,

²Zvino akabata zibukanana, nyoka yakare, ndiye Dhiabhorosi naSatani, akamusunga makore churu,

²and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years,

³akamukandira mugomba risina chigadziko, akamupfigira, akaisa mucherechedzo pamusoro pake kuti arege kuzonyengerazve marudzi, kusvikira makore churu apera; shure kweizvozvo unofanira kusunungurwa chinguva chiduku.

³and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time.

⁴Zvino ndakaona zvigaro zveushe, vakagara pamusoro pazvo, kutonga ndokupiwa kwaari; ndikaona mweya yevakange vagurwa misoro nekuda kweuchapupu hwaJesu, nekweshoko raMwari, nevasina kunamata chikara kana mufananidzo wacho, kana kugamuchira mucherechedzo pahuma dzavo, nepamaoko avo; vakararama vakabata ushe pamwe naKristu makore churu.

⁴And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;

⁵Asi vakasara vevakafa havana kuraramazve kusvikira makore churu apera. Uku kumuka kwekutanga.

⁵and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this [is] the first rising again.

⁶Wakaropafadzwa uye mutsvene une mugove pakumuka kwekutanga, uye pana ivava rufu rwechipiri haruna simba; asi vachava vapristi vaMwari navaKristu, vachabata ushe pamwe naye makore churu.

⁶Happy and holy [is] he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

⁷Zvino kana makore churu apera, Satani uchasunungurwa mutirongo rake,

⁷And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary shall be loosed out of his prison,

⁸zvino uchabuda kunonyengera marudzi ari kumativi mana enyika, ivo Gogi naMagogi, aavunganidzire kundorwa; uwandu hwakaita sejecha regungwa.

⁸and he shall go forth to lead the nations astray, that are in the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog — to gather them together to war, of whom the number [is] as the sand of the sea;

⁹Vakakwira pakufara kwenyika, vakakomba misasa yevatsvene neguta rinodikamwa; moto ndokuburuka uchibva kuna Mwari uchibuda kudenga ukavaroromesa.

⁹and they did go up over the breadth of the land, and did surround the camp of the saints, and the beloved city, and there came down fire from God out of the heaven, and devoured them;

¹⁰Zvino dhiabhorosi wakavanyengera akakandwa mudziva remoto nesarufa, pane chikara nemuporofita wenhema, uye vacharwadziwa masikati neusiku kusvikira rinhi narinhi.

¹⁰and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night — to the ages of the ages.

¹¹Zvino ndakaona chigaro cheushe chikuru chichena, naiye wakange agere pamusoro pacho, iye nyika nedenga zvakatiza pachiso chake, zvikasawanirwa nzvimbo.

¹¹And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them;

¹²Uye ndakaona vakafa vaduku nevakuru, vamire pamberi paMwari, zvino mabhuku akazarurwa, nerimwe bhuku rikazarurwa, rinova reupenyu, vakafa vakatongwa nezvakange zvakanyorwa mumabhuku, zvichienderana nemabasa avo.

¹²and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls — according to their works;

¹³Gungwa rikabudisa vakafa vakange vari mariri; nerufu neguva zvikabudisa vakafa vakange vari mazviri; umwe neumwe akatongwa zvichienderana nemabasa avo.

¹³and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works;

¹⁴Zvino rufu negehena zvakakandirwa mudziva remoto; urwu rufu rwechipiri.

¹⁴and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire — this [is] the second death;

¹⁵Zvino kana aripo asina kuwanikwa akanyorwa mubhuku reupenyu wakakandirwa mudziva remoto.

¹⁵and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.
