Revelation 16
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
Kisha nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka Hekaluni ikiwaambia wale malaika saba, “Nendeni mkamwage mabakuli hayo saba ya ghadhabu ya Mungu duniani.”
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image.
Basi, malaika wa kwanza akaenda akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya nchi. Mara madonda mabaya na ya kuumiza sana yakawapata wote waliokuwa na alama ya yule mnyama, na wale walioiabudu sanamu yake.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man]: and every living soul died in the sea.
Kisha malaika wa pili akamwaga bakuli lake baharini. Nayo bahari ikawa damu tupu kama damu ya mtu aliyekufa, na viumbe vyote hai baharini vikafa.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Malaika wa tatu akamwaga bakuli lake katika mito na chemchemi za maji, navyo vikageuka damu.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Nikamsikia malaika msimamizi wa maji akisema, “Ewe mtakatifu, Uliyeko na uliyekuwako! Wewe ni mwenye haki katika hukumu hii uliyotoa.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Maana waliimwaga damu ya watu wako na ya manabii, nawe umewapa damu wainywe; wamestahili hivyo!”
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments.
Kisha nikasikia sauti madhabahuni ikisema, “Naam, Bwana Mungu Mwenye Uwezo! Hukumu zako ni za kweli na haki!”
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Kisha malaika wa nne akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya jua. Jua likapewa nguvu ya kuwachoma watu kwa moto wake.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Basi, watu wakaunguzwa vibaya sana; wakamtukana Mungu aliye na uwezo juu ya mabaa hayo makubwa. Lakini hawakuziacha dhambi zao na kumtukuza Mungu.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Kisha malaika wa tano akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya makao makuu ya yule mnyama. Giza likauvamia utawala wake, watu wakauma ndimi zao kwa sababu za maumivu,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
wakamtukana Mungu wa mbinguni kwa sababu ya maumivu yao na madonda yao. Lakini hawakuyaacha matendo yao mabaya.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Kisha malaika wa sita akamwaga bakuli lake juu ya mto mkubwa uitwao Eufrate. Maji yake yakakauka, na hivyo njia ilitengenezwa kwa ajili ya wafalme wa mashariki.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Kisha nikaona pepo wabaya watatu walio kama vyura, wakitoka kinywani mwa yule joka, kinywani mwa yule mnyama, na kinywani mwa yule nabii wa uongo.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Hawa ndio roho za pepo wafanyao miujiza. Ndio wanaokwenda kwa wafalme wa ulimwengu wote na kuwakusanya pamoja kwa ajili ya vita kuu Siku ile ya Mungu Mwenye Uwezo.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
“Sikiliza! Mimi naja kama mwizi! Heri mtu akeshaye na kuvaa nguo zake ili asije akaenda uchi huko na huko mbele ya watu.”
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Basi, roho hao wakawakusanya hao wafalme mahali paitwapo kwa Kiebrania Harmagedoni.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Kisha malaika wa saba akamwaga bakuli lake hewani. Sauti kubwa ikasikika kutoka kwenye kiti cha enzi, Hekaluni, ikisema, “Mwisho umefika!”
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.
Kukatokea umeme, kelele, ngurumo na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi ambalo halijapata kutokea tangu Mungu alipomuumba mtu.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Mji ule mkuu ukapasuliwa sehemu tatu, nayo miji ya mataifa ikateketea. Babuloni, mji mkuu, haukusahauliwa na Mungu. Aliunywesha kikombe cha divai ya ghadhabu yake kuu.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Visiwa vyote vikatoweka, nayo milima haikuonekena tena.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Mvua ya mawe makubwa yenye uzito wa kama kilo hamsini kila moja, ikawanyeshea watu. Nao wakamtukana Mungu kwa sababu ya mapigo ya mvua hiyo ya mawe. Naam, pigo la mvua hiyo ya mawe lilikuwa kubwa mno.
