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

¹I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

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

²He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for 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 cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short 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.

⁴I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

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

⁵The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

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.

⁶Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

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

⁷And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison,

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

⁸and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

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

⁹They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them.

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

¹⁰The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

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

¹¹I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place 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.

¹²I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

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

¹³The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades or, Hell gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

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

¹⁴Death and Hades or, Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

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

¹⁵If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
