< Revelation 14 >

1 I looked, and saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion. With him were 144,000 who had his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
Ngĩcooka ngĩrora, na niĩ ngĩona Gatũrũme arũgamĩte Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni, arĩ na andũ 144,000 arĩa maandĩkĩtwo rĩĩtwa rĩake na rĩĩtwa rĩa Ithe mothiũ-inĩ mao.
2 I heard a voice from heaven that sounded like rushing water and loud thunder and many harps being played.
Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo uumĩte igũrũ ũtariĩ ta mũhũyũko wa maaĩ maratherera na ningĩ ta mũrurumo wa ngwa. Mũgambo ũcio ndaiguire watariĩ ta wa aini a inanda cia mũgeeto makĩina na inanda ciao.
3 They sang a new song in front of the throne and the four living creatures and the elders. Nobody could learn the song except the 144,000, those who had been redeemed from the earth.
Nao makĩina rwĩmbo rwerũ marĩ mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na marĩ mbere ya ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo, na athuuri. Gũtiarĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kwĩruta rwĩmbo rũu tiga o acio 144,000 arĩa maakũũrĩtwo kuuma thĩ.
4 They have not become morally impure by sinning with women; spiritually they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed from humankind as the firstfruits to God and the Lamb.
Acio nĩ arĩa mateethũkĩtie na andũ-a-nja, nĩgũkorwo nĩmeigĩte marĩ atheru. Nao maarũmagĩrĩra Gatũrũme o kũrĩa guothe aathiiaga. Nĩo maagũrirwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na makĩrutwo marĩ maciaro ma mbere kũrĩ Ngai o na kũrĩ Gatũrũme.
5 They speak no lies; they are without fault.
Matirĩ hĩndĩ marĩ maheenania; o na matirĩ ũcuuke.
6 Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven. He had the eternal good news to announce to those who lived on the earth, to every nation, tribe, language, and people. (aiōnios g166)
Ningĩ ngĩona mũraika ũngĩ oombũkĩte rĩera-inĩ, nake aarĩ na Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa tene na tene wa kũhunjĩria andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ, ũguo nĩ kuuga ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na thiomi ciothe, na andũ othe. (aiōnios g166)
7 He cried out in a loud voice, “Give God reverence and glory, for the time of his judgment has come. Worship the one who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water.”
Nake akiuga na mũgambo mũnene atĩrĩ, “Mwĩtigĩrei Ngai na mũmũgooce we, tondũ ihinda rĩake rĩa gũtua ciira nĩikinyu. Mũhooei ũrĩa wombire igũrũ, na thĩ, na iria rĩrĩa inene, na ithima cia maaĩ.”
8 A second angel followed, calling out, “Babylon the great has collapsed into ruins! She made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality that brings God's furious opposition.”
Nake mũraika wa keerĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩrĩgũu! Itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩa Babuloni nĩrĩgũu, rĩrĩa rĩanyuithirie ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ndibei ĩrĩa ya maũndũ mooru ma ũtharia warĩo.”
9 A third angel followed the first two, and cried out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on their forehead or on their hand,
Ningĩ mũraika wa gatatũ akĩmarũmĩrĩra, nake akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe angĩhooya nyamũ ĩyo na mũhiano wayo, na ekĩrwo rũũri rwayo thiithi kana guoko-rĩ,
10 they will also drink of the wine of God's furious opposition that is poured undiluted into the cup of his anger, and they will suffer anguish in fire and burning sulfur before the holy angels and the Lamb.
o nake nĩakanyua ndibei ĩyo ya marakara ma Ngai, ĩrĩa ĩitĩrĩirwo gĩkombe-inĩ kĩa mangʼũrĩ make ĩtatukanĩtio na kĩndũ. Nake nĩakanyariirwo na mwaki wa ũbiriti mbere ya araika arĩa atheru na mbere ya Gatũrũme.
11 The smoke of their anguish ascends for ever and ever. They don't have any relief day or night, those who worship the beast and his image and who receive the mark of his name.” (aiōn g165)
Nayo ndogo ya kĩnyariirĩko kĩao ĩgũtũũra yambataga nginya tene na tene. Gũtirĩ kĩhurũko mũthenya kana ũtukũ kũrĩ arĩa mahooyaga nyamũ ĩyo na mũhiano wayo, kana kũrĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩkĩrĩtwo rũũri rwa rĩĩtwa rĩayo.” (aiōn g165)
12 This means the believers must patiently endure, keeping God's commandments and trusting in Jesus.
Haha nĩhabataire ũkirĩrĩria harĩ andũ arĩa aamũre, o arĩa maathĩkagĩra Maathani ma Ngai, na magatũũra marĩ ehokeku harĩ Jesũ.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven that told me, “Write this down! Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, because they can rest from their troubles. What they have accomplished will speak for them.”
Ngĩcooka ngĩigua mũgambo woima igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Andĩka atĩrĩ: Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa akuũ, arĩa makuĩte marĩ thĩinĩ wa Mwathani kuuma rĩu.” Nake Roho ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩguo makĩhurũke mawĩra mao maritũ, nĩgũkorwo ciĩko ciao iria maneeka nĩikamoima thuutha.”
14 I looked and I saw a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was someone that looked like the Son of man, wearing a golden crown on his head and holding a sharp sickle in his hand.
Ningĩ ngĩrora, ngĩona hau mbere yakwa haarĩ na itu rĩerũ, na itu rĩu nĩrĩaikarĩirwo nĩ mũndũ “wahaanaga ta mũrũ wa mũndũ” arĩ na thũmbĩ ya thahabu mũtwe, na arĩ na rũhiũ rũũgĩ rwa kũgetha guoko-inĩ gwake.
15 Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and start reaping, for it is harvest-time, and earth's harvest is ripe.”
Nake mũraika ũngĩ akiuma thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, agĩĩta mũndũ ũcio waikarĩire itu na mũgambo mũnene, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya rũhiũ rũu rwa kũgetha, ũgethe, tondũ ihinda rĩa kũgetha nĩikinyu, nĩgũkorwo magetha ma thĩ nĩ makũrũ.”
16 The one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle towards the earth, and reaped earth's harvest.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio waikarĩire itu akĩhiũrĩria rũhiũ rwake thĩ, nayo thĩ ĩkĩgethwo.
17 Another angel came out of the Temple in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.
Nake mũraika ũngĩ akiuma thĩinĩ wa hekarũ kũu igũrũ, o nake aarĩ na rũhiũ rũũgĩ rwa kũgetha.
18 He was followed by an angel coming from the altar that was in charge of the fire, who called in a loud voice to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and harvest the bunches of grapes from the earth's vine, because its grapes are ripe.”
Na mũraika ũngĩ, ũrĩa wathaga mwaki, akiuma kĩgongona-inĩ, agĩĩta ũcio warĩ na rũhiũ rũũgĩ rwa kũgetha na mũgambo mũnene, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya rũhiũ rũu rwaku rũũgĩ rwa kũgetha, na ũcookanĩrĩrie imanjĩka cia thabibũ kuuma harĩ mũthabibũ ũrĩa wa thĩ tondũ thabibũ ciayo nĩ njĩru.”
19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth and harvested the grapes from the vine, and threw them into the great winepress of God's judgment.
Nake mũraika ũcio akĩhiũrĩria rũhiũ rwake thĩ, agĩcookereria thabibũ ciayo, na agĩcooka agĩciikia kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene kĩa mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai.
20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city. Blood flowed out of the winepress to the height of a horse's bridle, and to a distance of 1,600 stadia.
Nacio ikĩrangĩrĩrio kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ nja ya itũũra inene, nayo thakame ĩgĩtherera yumĩte kĩhihĩro-inĩ, ĩgĩkinya handũ ha itĩĩna rĩa mairũ ta igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩnana, na ĩkĩambata o nginya ĩgĩkinya mĩkwa-inĩ ĩrĩa yohaga mbarathi tũnua.
