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.

¹After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or 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,

²I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,

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

³saying, “Don’t harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”

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

⁴I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

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

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 looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

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

¹⁰They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on 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,

¹¹All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God,

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

¹²saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

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

¹³One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?”

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

¹⁴I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

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

¹⁵Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.

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

¹⁶They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat 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 who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
