Okuswelulwa 14
1 Ninitegelesha nindola omwana wa Inama emeleguyu imbele yani ingulu ya libhaga elya Sayuni. Amwi nage bhaliga 144,000 abha lisina lyaye na lisina elyesemwene lyandikilwe ku bhisusu bhyo bhusu bhwebhwe.
Then, in my vision, I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion. With him were a hundred and forty-four thousand men, with his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
2 Ninungwa obhulaka okusoka Mulwile niyungwibhwa kuti milundumo ja maji mafu no bhulaka bhunene obhwa libhaluka. Obhulaka bhunu nonguywe ni lwa bhanu abhabhuma amatungu abhabhumi bha amatungu gebhwe.
And I heard a sound from Heaven, ‘like the sound of many waters,’ and like the sound of a loud peal of thunder; the sound that I heard was like the music of harpers playing on their harps.
3 Nibhemba olwimbo luyaya imbele ye chitebhe cho bhutungi na imbele ya abho bhuanga bhana na bhakaluka. Atalio nolwo owo bhutulo obhwo kwiingila olwimbo olwo atali kwabho 144,000 bhanu bhakisibhwe okusoka mu chalo.
They are singing what seems to be a new song, before the throne, and before the four Creatures and the Councillors; and no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from earth.
4 Bhanu ni bhalya bhanu bhatejabhiasishe abhene ku bhagasi, kulwo kubha bhenene bhaliga bhebhalilisi ku bhikolwa bhyo bhulomesi. Abho nibho bhanu bhamulubhile omwana wa Inama wone wone enu ajiye. Bhanu bhakisibhwe okusoka ku bhanamunu bhali matwasho go kwamba ku Nyamuanga na ku mwana wa Inama.
These are the men who never defiled themselves in their intercourse with women; they are as pure as virgins. These are the men who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed as the first-fruits of mankind for God and for the Lamb.
5 Lutalimo lulimi lunu lwabhonekene mu minwa jebhwe; Bhaliga bhataliko ne solo lyona lyona.
‘No lie was ever heard upon their lips.’ They are beyond reach of blame.
6 Nindola Malaika oundi naguluka ali agati-gati yo lwile, unu aliga ano musango gwa Mulwile guli musango gwo bhwana ogwo kubhalasisha bhanu bhekaye mu chalo ku bhuli eyanga, bhuli luganda, bhuli nyaika, na bhuli bhanu. (aiōnios g166)
Then I saw another angel, flying in mid-heaven. He had the Good News, decreed from eternity, to announce to those who dwell on the earth — to men of every nation, and tribe, and language, and people; (aiōnios g166)
7 Nabhabhilkila kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu, “Mumubhaye Nyamuanga na mumuyane likusho. Kulwo kubha omwanya gwa indamu gweliye ayei. Mumulamye omwene, omwene unu amogele olwile, ne chalo, ne inyanja, ne bhima bhya maji.”
and he cried in a loud voice — ‘Reverence God, and give him praise (for the hour of his Judgment has come) and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all springs of water.’
8 Malaika oundi-Malaika wa kabhili- nalubha naika ati, “Gwaguye, Gwaguye omusi omukulu Bhabheli unu wabhanywesishe amaanga obhalwa bhwo bhulomesi, obhalwa bhunu bhwaletele lisungu ingulu yaye.”
Then a second angel followed, crying — ‘She has fallen! She has fallen — Babylon the Great, who has made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her licentiousness!’
9 Malaika oundi-Malaika owa kasatu-nabhalubha, naika kwo bhulaka bhunene ati, “wone wone unu akailamye intyanyi eyo ne chisusano chaye, no kubhona olunyamo ku chisusu cho bhusu bhwaye amwi kukubhoko,
Then a third angel followed them, crying in a loud voice — ‘Whoever worships the Beast and its image, and receives its brand on his forehead or on his hand,
10 omwene one kanywa amalwa ga lisungu lya Nyamuanga, amalwa ganu gelabhile no kugeta obhutasasikana ne chikombe cha lisungu lyaye. Omunu unu kanywa mwanyasibhe kwo mulilo no mulilo ogwe chibhiliti imbele ya bhamalaika bhaye abhelu imbele yo mwana wa Inama.
that man shall drink the maddening wine of God that has been poured unmixed into the cup of his Wrath, and he shall be tortured with fire and sulphur before the eyes of the holy angels and before the eyes of the Lamb.
11 No lwika lwo kwasibhwa kwebhwe nilugenda kajanende na kajanende, nolwo bhatapumusikile mumwisi amwi mugeta-abho bhanu abhailamya intyanyi ne lisusano lyaye, na bhuli munu unu alamiye olunyamo lwa lisina lyaye. (aiōn g165)
The smoke from their torture rises for ever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night — those who worship the Beast and its image, and all who are branded with its name.’ (aiōn g165)
12 Kunu nikwo okubhilikilwa kwo kulindilila no kwigumilisha kwa bhekilisha, kubhalya bhanu abholobhela ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga ne likilisha mu Yesu.”
(Here there is need for endurance on the part of Christ’s People — those who lay to heart the commands of God and the Faith of Jesus.)
13 Nonguywe obhulaka okusoka Mulwile nibhwaika ati, “Yandika ganu: Bhali na libhando abhafuye bhanu abhafwila mu Latabhugenyi.” “Yee, “Kaika Mwoyo, “koleleki bhatule okupumusika okusoka ku milimu jebhwe, kulwo kubha ebhikolwa bhyebhwe ebhibhalubha.”
Then I heard a voice from Heaven saying ‘Write — “Blessed are the dead who from this hour die in union with the Lord.” “Yes,” answers the Spirit, “that they may rest from their toil. Their good deeds go with them.”’
14 Ninitegelesha okumala nindola ati lyaliga lilliyo elile limwela, na unu aliga enyanjile ku lile ni umwi unu aliga nasusana no mwana wo munu. Aliga ali no lutenga lwa ijaabhu ku mutwe gwaye no mwolo gwo bhugi mu kubhoko kwaye.
Then, in my vision, I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud there was sitting one ‘like a man.’ On his head he had a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 Malaika oundi lindi naja okusoka mu Yekalu na nabhilikila kwo bhulaka bhunene okuja ku uliya unu aliga enyanjile ku lile: “Nugege omwolo gwao na wambe okugesa. Kulwo kubha omwanya gwo lugeso gwakingile, kulwo kubha olugeso lunu luli ku chalo lwaiye.”
Then another angel came out from the Temple, crying in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud — ‘Take your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come; the Harvest of Earth is ready.’
16 Na unu aliga enyanjile ku lile one agulabhisheo omwolo gwaye ku chalo, ne chalo nichigeswa.
He who was sitting on the cloud brought his sickle down upon the earth, and the Harvest of Earth was reaped.
17 Na Malaika oundi naja okusoka mu Yekalu ya Mulwile; no mwene aliga ali no mwolo gwo bhugi bhwafu.
Then another angel came out of the Temple in Heaven; he, also, had a sharp sickle.
18 Na Malaika oundi naja okusoka ku bhigabhilo, na Malaika unu aliga ali no bhutulo ingulu yo mulilo. Namubhilikila kwo bhulaka bhunene Malaika unu aliga ali no mwolo gwo bhugi bhwafu, “Nugege okwolo gwo bhugi bhwafu na ugakofye amasanju go omujabhibhu okusoka ku mujabhibhu gwe Chalo, kulwo kubha wolyanu jijabhibhu jaiye.”
Then another angel came out of the altar; he had power over fire, and he called in a loud voice to the angel that had the sharp sickle — ‘Take your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the Vine of Earth, for its grapes are ripe.’
19 Malaika oyo nasila omwolo gwaye ku Chalo no kukofya olugeso lwa jijabhibhu me Chalo na nachumisha mwi pipa (amwi linokelo) enene elya malwa ga lisungu lya Nyamuanga.
The angel brought his sickle down on the earth and gathered the fruit of the Vine of Earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the Wrath of God.
20 Liyungisho lya malwa nilikomagwa-komagwa anja yo musi na insagama niitika okusoka mu mwilengelo elyo elyo lukobha lwa Ifalasi kuti 1,600.(chiubhi chimwi na magana Mukaga).
The ‘grapes were trodden in the press’ outside the city; and blood came out of the press, rising as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of two hundred miles.
