Revelation 19
1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God;
Baada ya haya nikasikia sauti kama ya umati mkubwa mbinguni wakipiga kelele wakisema: “Haleluya! Wokovu na utukufu na uweza ni vya Mungu wetu,
2 for his judgments are true and righteous. For he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”
kwa maana hukumu zake ni za kweli na za haki. Amemhukumu yule kahaba mkuu aliyeuharibu ulimwengu kwa uzinzi wake. Mungu amemlipiza kisasi kwa ajili ya damu ya watumishi wake.”
Wakasema tena kwa nguvu: “Haleluya! Moshi wake huyo kahaba unapanda juu milele na milele.” (aiōn g165)
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
Wale wazee ishirini na wanne pamoja na wale viumbe wanne wenye uhai wakaanguka kifudifudi, wakamwabudu Mungu, aliyekuwa ameketi kwenye kile kiti cha enzi. Wakasema kwa sauti kuu: “Amen, Haleluya!”
5 A voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”
Kisha sauti ikatoka katika kile kiti cha enzi, ikisema: “Msifuni Mungu wetu, ninyi watumishi wake wote, ninyi nyote mnaomcha, wadogo kwa wakubwa!”
6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!
Kisha nikasikia sauti kama ya umati mkubwa, kama sauti ya maji mengi yaendayo kasi na kama ngurumo kubwa ya radi wakipiga kelele wakisema: “Haleluya! Kwa maana Bwana Mungu wetu Mwenyezi anatawala.
7 Let’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let’s give the glory to him. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.”
Tufurahi, tushangilie na kumpa utukufu! Kwa maana arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo imewadia na bibi arusi wake amejiweka tayari.
8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Akapewa kitani safi, nyeupe inayongʼaa, ili avae.” (Hiyo kitani safi inawakilisha matendo ya haki ya watakatifu.)
9 He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”
Ndipo malaika akaniambia, “Andika: ‘Wamebarikiwa wale walioalikwa kwenye karamu ya arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo!’” Naye akaongeza kusema, “Haya ndiyo maneno ya kweli ya Mungu.”
10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”
Ndipo nikaanguka kifudifudi miguuni pake ili kumwabudu, lakini yeye akaniambia, “Usifanye hivyo! Mimi pia ni mtumishi mwenzako pamoja na ndugu zako walio na ushuhuda wa Yesu. Mwabudu Mungu! Maana ushuhuda wa Yesu ndio roho ya unabii.”
11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
Kisha nikaona mbingu imefunguka na hapo mbele yangu akiwepo farasi mweupe, ambaye yeye aliyempanda aliitwa Mwaminifu na Kweli. Yeye huhukumu kwa haki na kufanya vita.
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.
Macho yake ni kama miali ya moto na juu ya kichwa chake kuna taji nyingi. Ana jina lililoandikwa ambalo hakuna mtu yeyote anayelijua isipokuwa yeye mwenyewe.
13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.”
Amevaa joho lililochoviwa katika damu, na Jina lake ni “Neno la Mungu.”
14 The armies which are in heaven, clothed in white, pure, fine linen, followed him on white horses.
Majeshi ya mbinguni walikuwa wakimfuata, wakiwa wamepanda farasi weupe, hali wamevaa mavazi ya kitani safi, nyeupe na nzuri.
15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
Kinywani mwake hutoka upanga mkali ambao kwa huo atayaangusha mataifa. “Atayatawala kwa fimbo yake ya utawala ya chuma.” Hulikanyaga shinikizo la mvinyo wa ghadhabu ya Mungu Mwenyezi.
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Kwenye joho lake na paja lake pameandikwa jina hili: Mfalme wa wafalme, na Bwana wa mabwana.
17 I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,
Nami nikamwona malaika amesimama ndani kwenye jua, akaita ndege wote warukao angani kwa sauti kuu, “Njooni, kusanyikeni kwa ajili ya karamu kubwa ya Mungu,
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, small and great.”
ili mpate kula nyama ya wafalme na ya majemadari, ya mashujaa, ya farasi na ya wapanda farasi, nyama ya wanadamu, wote walio huru na watumwa, wadogo na wakubwa.”
19 I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse and against his army.
Kisha nikamwona yule mnyama na wafalme wa dunia pamoja na majeshi yao wakiwa wamekusanyika pamoja ili kufanya vita dhidi ya yule aliyempanda farasi pamoja na jeshi lake.
20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Lakini yule mnyama akakamatwa pamoja na huyo nabii wa uongo ambaye alikuwa amefanya ishara kwa niaba ya huyo mnyama, ambaye kwa ishara hizi aliwadanganya wale waliopokea chapa ya huyo mnyama na kuiabudu sanamu yake. Hawa wawili wakatupwa wakiwa hai ndani ya ziwa la moto liwakalo kwa kiberiti. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. So all the birds were filled with their flesh.
Wale waliosalia waliuawa kwa upanga uliotoka kinywani mwa yule aliyekuwa amempanda farasi nao ndege wote wakajishibisha kwa nyama yao.
