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 this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon 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] sunrising, having [the] seal of [the] living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been 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, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the bondmen of our God upon 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 the sealed, a hundred [and] forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of [the] sons of Israel:

⁵Verudzi rwaJudha vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri. Kurudzi rwaRubheni kwakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri; verudzi rwaGadi vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri;

⁵out of [the] tribe of Juda, twelve thousand sealed; out of [the] tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;

⁶Verudzi rwaAseri vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri; verudzi rwaNafutarimi vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri; verudzi rwaManase vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri;

⁸verudzi rwaZebhuroni vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri; verudzi rwaJosefa vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri; verudzi rwaBenjamini vakaiswa mucherechedzo zvuru gumi nezviviri.

⁸out of [the] tribe of Zabulun, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed.

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 these things I saw, and lo, a great crowd, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands.

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

¹⁰And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to 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 around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and fell before the throne upon 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 strength, to our God, to the ages of ages. Amen.

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

¹³And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed with white robes, who are they, 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 to him, My lord, *thou* knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have 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 sits upon the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.

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

¹⁶They shall not hunger any more, neither shall they thirst any more, nor shall the sun at all fall on them, nor any burning heat;

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

¹⁷because the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them, and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
