Zvakazarurwa 11
1 Zvino kwakapiwa kwandiri rutsanga rwakaita semudonzvo, mutumwa ndokumira achiti: Simuka, zvino yera tembere yaMwari, nearitari, nevanonamata mairi.
Then I was given a measure like a rod, and a voice said to me – ‘Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the worshiper there.
2 Asi chivanze chiri kunze kwetembere urasire panze, uye usachiyera; nokuti chakapiwa kuvechirudzi; uye vachatsikira guta dzvene pasi mwedzi makumi mana nemiviri.
But omit the court outside the Temple, and do not measure that, for it has been given up to the nations; and the holy City will be under their heel for forty-two months.
3 Zvino ndichapa simba kuzvapupu zvangu zviviri, zvino zvichaporofita mazuva churu nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu, zvakapfeka masaga.
Then I will give permission to my Two Witnesses, and for those twelve hundred and sixty days they will continue teaching, clothed in sackcloth.’
4 Ava miti miviri yemiorivhi, nezvigadziko zvemwenje zviviri zvimire pamberi paMwari wenyika.
These men are represented by the two olive trees and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 Zvino kana kune anoshuva kuvakuvadza, moto unobuda mumuromo wavo uchiparadza vavengi vavo; uye kana umwe achishuva kuvakuvadza, anofanira kuurawa saizvozvo.
When anyone wishes to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies; and whoever wishes to harm them will, in this way, inevitably perish.
6 Ava vane simba rekupfiga denga, kuti kusanaya mvura pamazuva ekuporofita kwavo, uye vane simba pamusoro pemvura, kuti vaishandure ive ropa, nekurova nyika nematambudziko ese nguva dzese dzavanoda.
These men have the power to close the heavens, so that no rain may fall during the time that they are teaching; and they have power to turn the streams into blood, and to smite the land with any curse, whenever they will.
7 Uye kana vapedza uchapupu hwavo, chikara chinokwira kubva mugomba risina chigadziko chichaita hondo navo, ndokuvakunda nekuvauraya. (Abyssos g12)
As soon as they have completed their testimony, the wild Beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
8 Uye zvitunha zvavo zvichava panzira dzemuguta guru, rinonzi pamweya Sodhoma neEgipita, pakarovererwawo Ishe wedu.
Their dead bodies will lie in the streets of the great city, which is mystically spoken of as ‘Sodom’ and ‘Egypt,’ where their Master was crucified.
9 Zvino vanobva kuvanhu nevemarudzi nevendimi nevendudzi vachaona zvitunha zvavo mazuva matatu nehafu, uye havangatenderi zvitunha zvavo kuti zviiswe mumakuva.
People of all nations, and tribes, and languages, and races look at their dead bodies for three days and a half, and do not allow them to be laid in a grave.
10 Neavo vanogara panyika vachafara pamusoro pavo nekupembera, uye vachatumirana zvipo, nokuti vaporofita ava vaviri vakatambudza vanogara panyika.
Those who live on the earth rejoice over them and are merry, and they will send presents to one another, because these two prophets brought torments on those who live on the earth.
11 Zvino shure kwemazuva matatu nehafu, mweya weupenyu kubva kuna Mwari wakapinda mavari, vakamira netsoka dzavo, uye kutya kukuru kukawira vakavaona.
After three days and a half the life-giving breath of God entered these men, and they stood up on their feet, and a great terror took possession of those who were watching them.
12 Zvino vakanzwa inzwi guru richibva kudenga, richiti kwavari: Kwirai pano. Zvino vakakwira kudenga vari mugore, vavengi vavo ndokuvaona.
The two men heard a loud voice from heaven which said to them – ‘Come up here,’ and they went up to heaven in the cloud, while their enemies watched them.
13 Zvino nenguva iyoyo kwakava nekudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru, chegumi cheguta ndokuwa, nemazita evanhu zvuru zvinomwe vakaurawa mukudengenyeka kwenyika; vakasara ndokuvhunduswa, vakapa rumbidzo kuna Mwari wekudenga.
At that very time a great earthquake occurred. A tenth part of the city fell, and seven thousand people perished in the earthquake. Those who escaped were much terrified, and praised the God of heaven.
14 Nhamo yechipiri yapfuura; zvino tarira, nhamo yechitatu inokurumidza kuuya.
The second Woe has passed; and there is a third Woe soon to follow!
15 Zvino mutumwa wechinomwe wakaridza; manzwi makuru ndokuva kudenga, achiti: Ushe hwenyika hwava hwaIshe wedu, nehwaKristu wake; uye achatonga kusvika rinhi narinhi. (aiōn g165)
Then the seventh angel blew; and loud voices were heard in heaven saying – ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.’ (aiōn g165)
16 Uye vakuru makumi maviri nevana vagere pamberi paMwari pazvigaro zvavo zveushe vakawa nezviso zvavo vakanamata Mwari,
At this the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, prostrated themselves on their faces and worshiped him,
17 vachiti: Tinokuvongai, Ishe Mwari Wemasimbaose, aripo, wakange aripo, neachauya, nokuti makatora simba renyu guru, uye makatonga.
saying – ‘We thank you, Lord, our God, the Almighty, who is and who was, that you have assumed your great power and reigned.
18 Zvino marudzi akatsamwa, uye kutsamwa kwenyu kwasvika, nenguva yevakafa kuti vatongwe, uye kuti mupe mubairo kuvaranda venyu vaporofita, nekuvatsvene, nevanotya zita renyu, vadiki nevakuru, uye yekuparadza vanoparadza nyika.
The nations were enraged, and your wrath fell on them; the time came for the dead to be judged, and for you to give the reward to your servants the prophets, and to the people of Christ, and to those who honor your name – the high and the low alike – and to destroy those who are destroying the earth.’
19 Zvino kwakazarurwa tembere yaMwari kudenga; kukaonekwa areka yesungano yake mutembere yake; ndokuvapo mheni nemanzwi nekutinhira nekudengenyeka kwenyika nechimvuramabwe chikuru.
Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark containing his covenant was seen in his Temple; and there followed flashes of lightning, cries, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a great storm of hail.
