¹Zvino ndakapiwa rutsanga rwakaita semudonzvo; uye mutumwa wakamira achiti: Simuka uyere tembere yaMwari, nearitari, nevanonamata mairi.

¹And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

²Asi ruvanze ruri kunze kwetembere usiye, uye usaruyera; nekuti rwakapiwa kuvechirudzi; vachatsikira guta dzvene pasi petsoka mwedzi makumi mana nemiviri.

²And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

³zvekare ndichapa simba kuzvapupu zvangu zviviri, zvino zvichaporofita mazuva churu nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu zvakapfeka masaga.

³And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

⁴Ava ndiyo miti miviri yemiorivhi nezvigadziko zvemwenje zviviri zvimire pamberi paMwari wenyika.

⁴These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth.

⁵Kana kune unoda kuvakuvadza, moto unobuda mumuromo mavo uchiparadza vavengi vavo; uye kana munhu achishuva kuvakuvadza, unofanira kuurawa saizvozvi.

⁵And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies; and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed.

⁶Ava vane simba rekupfiga denga kuti kusanaya nemazuva ekuporofita kwavo; uye vane simba pamusoro pemvura kuti vaishandure ive ropa, nekurova nyika nematambudziko ose kazhinji sezvavanoda.

⁶These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire.

⁷Uye kana vapedza kupupura kwavo, chikara chinokwira chichibva mugomba risina chigadziko chichaita hondo navo, chigovakunda nekuvauraya.

⁷And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

⁸Uye zvitunha zvavo zvichava panzira dzemuguta guru, rinonzi pamweya Sodhoma neEgipita, pakarovererwawo Ishe wedu pamuchinjikwa.

⁸And their dead bodies [lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

⁹Zvekare vanobva kuvanhu nemarudzi nendimi nendudzi vachaona zvitunha zvavo mazuva matatu nehafu, uye havangatenderi zvitunha zvavo kuti zviiswe muguva.

⁹And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do [men] look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

¹⁰Neavo vanogara panyika vachafara pamusoro pavo nekupembera, uye vachatumirana zvipo, nekuti vaporofita ava vaviri vakatambudza avo vanogara panyika.

¹⁰And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.

¹¹Zvino shure kwemazuva matatu nehafu mweya weupenyu wakabva kuna Mwari wakapinda mavari, vakamira netsoka dzavo, uye kutya kukuru kukawira vose vakavaona.

¹¹And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them.

¹²Ipapo vakanzwa inzwi guru richibva kudenga richiti kwavari: Kwirai pano. Vakakwira kudenga vari mugore, vavengi vavo vakavaona.

¹²And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

¹³Zvino nenguva iyoyo kudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru kwakavapo, chegumi cheguta ndokuwa, nevanhu zvuru zvinomwe vakaurawa mukudengenyeka kwenyika; vakasara vakavhunduswa, vakapa rumbidzo kuna Mwari wekudenga.

¹³And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁴Nhamo yechipiri yapfuura; tarira, nhamo yechitatu inokurumidza kusvika.

¹⁴The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly.

¹⁵Zvino mutumwa wechinomwe wakaridza; manzwi makuru ndokuvako kudenga, achiti: Ushe hwenyika ino hwava hwaIshe wedu, nehwaKristu wake; uye uchatonga kusvikira rinhi narinhi.

¹⁵And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become [the kingdom] of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁶Uye vakuru makumi maviri nevana vagere pamberi paMwari pazvigaro zvavo zveushe vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo vakanamata Mwari.

¹⁶And the four and twenty elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,

¹⁷vachiti: Tinokupai kuvonga imwi, Ishe Mwari Wamasimbaose, uripo, wakange aripo, neuchauya; nekuti makazvitorera simba renyu guru, mukatonga.

¹⁷saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign.

¹⁸Marudzi akatsamwa, nekutsamwa kwenyu kwasvika, nenguva yevakafa kuti vatongwe, uye kuti mupe mubairo kuvaranda venyu vaporofita, nekuvatsvene, nevanotya zita renyu, vaduku nevakuru; uye yekuvaparadza avo vanoparadza nyika.

¹⁸And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and [the time] to give their reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth.

¹⁹Zvino kwakazarurwa tembere yaMwari kudenga; kukaonekwa areka yesungano mutembere yake; ndokuvapo mheni, nemanzwi, nekutinhira, nekudengenyeka kwenyika, nechimvuramabwe chikuru.

¹⁹And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
