1 Nwa yenje in yene kukan Kutelle yissin likup in Sihiyona. Ligowe ninghe anit wa di amui akalt likure nin nakut anas alenge na iwa di nin ninyerte lissame nin lin life nitin mine.
But then I saw the [one who is like a] lamb standing on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem]. With him were 144,000 [people]. His name and his Father’s name had been written {[He] had written his name and his Father’s name} on their foreheads.
2 Nwa lanza liwui unuzu kitene kani liwa di gberere nafo udu nmyen midya nin tutu Kutelle. Udunu lisui ye na nwa lanza tutung wadi nafo tiwui nidowo na anan fowe wa din fowe.
I heard a sound from heaven, which was as [loud] [SIM] as the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide [river of rushing] water) and which was [also as loud as] [SIM] mighty thunder. The sound that I heard was like [the sound that] people make when they are playing their harps.
3 Iwa su awa apesse nbun kutet tigo we nin bun na nan lai nanas a akune. Na umong wasa ayinno aweu ba andi na anit amni akalt likure nin nakut anas nin na nasse na ina tucu nani nanya in yii ba.
The 144,000 people were singing a new song [while they stood] in front of the throne, in front of the four living [creatures], and in front of the elders. Only the 144,000 [people], the ones who have been {whom [the one who is like a lamb] has} redeemed/bought from among the people on the earth, could learn that song. No one else could learn the song [that they sang].
4 Inunghare alenge na ina nanza atimine nin dinong na wni ba, bara ina ceo ati mine lau na ina nanza atimine nin dinong na wani ba. Inughee alenge na ina dortu kukan Kutelle vat kiti kanga na ama du. Alengenere iwa bolu nani unuzu nanya nidowo nanit iso kumat ncizunu udu kiti Kutelle nin kukam Kutelle.
Those 144,000 are the people who are [spiritually] pure, [like] virgins [are morally pure]. They have not (defiled themselves/made themselves impure) [MET] [by worshipping any false god]. They are the ones who accompany Jesus, the [one who is like a] lamb, wherever he goes. They [represent all those whom he has] redeemed/bought for God from among the people [of earth, in order that he might offer] them to God and to [himself].
5 Na iwa se kinu tinnu mine ba, bara na ina se lidarni nghinue ba.
[Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
6 Nwa yene nkan gono kadura din galu kitene Kutelle, ulenge na awa min kadura nliru ugegeme ulenge na ama bellu unin kiti na lenge na issosin in yii vat, vat timyin, akara, tilem nin nanit. (aiōnios g166)
I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
7 Awa yicila nin liwui lidya aworo, “Lanzan fiu Kutelle ini ghe ngongong. Bara kubi nshara me nda sunghe usujada, ame ulenge na ama kye kitene kani, nin kutyen, kurawa a vat nin gingawa.”
He said in a loud voice, “Revere God and honor him, because it is now time for him to judge [people]! Worship [God, because he is] the one who created the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the springs of water.”
8 Nkan gono kadura Kutelle kin ba dofino kimal me a woro, “Udio, udio Ubabila udya, ulenge na amati vat ti myin ina nani na sono ntoro kaput ndinong me, ntoro mongo na sono ntoro kaput ndinong me, ntoro mongo na mina daghe nin tinana nayi kang.”
A second angel came after him saying, “The very evil [cities] (OR, [city]) [represented by] Babylon are completely destroyed! [God] has punished [their people because] they [have persuaded people of] all the nations [to forsake God, just like a prostitute] [MET] persuades [men] to drink [strong] wine and [as a result] commit sexual immorality.”
9 Nkan gono kadura Kutelle kin tat dofino nani abelle nin liwui kang a woro, “Asa umong nsu finawa ntene nin cil me usujada, amini sere kulap kitin me sa ncara me,
A third angel came next, saying in a loud voice, “If people worship the beast and its image and [allow] its mark to be put {its [agent to] put its mark} on their foreheads or on their hands,
10 ame wang ma sonu nanya nmyen narau tinana nayi kutelle mongo ina kyek ico minin sa usarunu nanya kashik tinana nayi me. Unite na aa sono ama niu kang nin la a ulon nla Kutelle nbun nnono kadure me nilau nin bun kukan Kutelle.
God will be angry with them and punish them very severely [MET]. They will be tormented {[God] will torment them} in burning sulfur in the presence of his holy angels and in the presence of the [one who is like a] lamb.
11 Ncing nnui mine ma ghanju kitene kani sa ligang ana ima yitu nin shinu ba lirin nin kyitik-inung anan nsujada finawan tene sa ncil me, nin lenge na ana seru kulap lissame. (aiōn g165)
The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
12 Uyicu ule un na nit alau alenge na ina teru nibinai mine, iyinna nin tiduka Kutelle nin yinnu sa uyene nin Yesu.
So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
13 Nwa lanza liwui kitene kani nworo, “Nyertin ilele. Anan kolyari alenge na ina kuzu nanyan Cikilari.” “Nanere,” ubellun Ruhu, “bara inan shino nanya katwa mine, bara nitwa mine ma dofinu nani.”
I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write [this: God will] now [abundantly] bless the people who have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus] for the rest of [their lives].” [God’s] Spirit says, “Yes, [after they die], they will no longer have to work hard. Instead, they will rest, and [the record of the good deeds] [MTY] that they have done will go with them (OR, [God] will [reward them] for the good deeds that they have done).”
14 In yenje, in yene kuwut kubo, umon sossino kitene kuwut kuboe nafo usaun nnit. Awa di nin litappa fizinariya liti me a kuwatan kileo ncara me.
Then I was surprised to see a white cloud, and on the cloud [someone] was sitting who looked like the one who came from heaven. He [was wearing] a golden crown on his head. In his hand [he held] a sharp sickle.
15 Nkan gono kadura Kutelle nuzu nanya nhaikale a yicila nin liwui kang kiti nlenge na awa sossin kuwutte aworo: “Yauna kuwatan fe ucizin upitiru kiti. Bara kubi npituru in yii nda.”
Another angel came out of the temple [in heaven]. In a loud voice, [speaking figuratively about gathering people for God to judge them], he said to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “The time has come to reap [the grain on the earth], so with your sickle [reap] the [grain], because the grain on the earth is ripe.”
16 Ame ulenge na awa sossin kuwutte tunna a vilino kuwantang me kitene kani in yii, amini wa pitirin unin.
The one who was sitting on the cloud forcefully gathered together [all the people] on earth, [as] [MET] [a farmer] reaps grain with his sickle.
17 Nkan gono kadura Kutelle nuzu nanya kutyi kulau kitene kani, ame wang wa di nin kuwantang kiloo kang.
Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
18 Nkan gono kadura tutung nuzu nanya ngagadi, gono kadura kanga na amere din cinu nin la. Ayicila gono kadura kanga na awa myin kuwantan nin lisui kang aworo, “Yira kuwatan fe upitiru a kuri niburi naca agbalala in yii, bara kumat mine nene in yini.”
From the altar came another angel. He is the one who takes care of the fire [of the altar. Also speaking figuratively about gathering the wicked people for God to judge and punish them], he said in a loud voice to the angel who held the sharp sickle, “With your sharp sickle cut off the clusters of grapes in the vineyards on the earth! Then gather the clusters of grapes together, because its grapes are ripe!”
19 Gono katwa we vilino kuwatan me nanya a pitirino kumat naca kugbalale nanya in yii a to nanya kusul npulu niburi naca tinana nayi kutelle.
So, [just like a man would] cut off with his sickle the clusters of grapes in his vineyard [MET], an angel forcefully [gathered the wicked people] on the earth. Then he threw them into the huge place where God will angrily punish them.
20 Kiti npulu ni buri nale wa di ndas kipine nmii co mi nuzu udas kitin pulu niburi nace. Mi ghana barang kitene kani mi kata nbarang nati nibark uwa di yissin pit nafo timel akalt aba.
[The wicked people] were trampled on {[God’s agent] trod on [the wicked people]} [in] the winepress outside the city. The blood that came out from the winepress flowed [in a stream so deep that it reached] to the bridles of the horses, [and extended] (180 miles/300 kilometers).
