Zvakazarurwa 11

1 Zvino kwakapiwa kwandiri rutsanga rwakaita semudonzvo, mutumwa ndokumira achiti: Simuka, zvino yera tembere yaMwari, nearitari, nevanonamata mairi.

A reed was given to me to use like a measuring rod. I was told, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it.

2 Asi chivanze chiri kunze kwetembere urasire panze, uye usachiyera; nokuti chakapiwa kuvechirudzi; uye vachatsikira guta dzvene pasi mwedzi makumi mana nemiviri.

But do not measure the courtyard outside the temple, for it has been given over to the Gentiles. They will trample the holy city for forty-two months.

3 Zvino ndichapa simba kuzvapupu zvangu zviviri, zvino zvichaporofita mazuva churu nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu, zvakapfeka masaga.

I will give my two witnesses authority to prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

4 Ava miti miviri yemiorivhi, nezvigadziko zvemwenje zviviri zvimire pamberi paMwari wenyika.

These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that have stood 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.

If anyone chooses to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. Anyone who wishes to harm them must be killed in this way.

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 witnesses have authority to close up the sky so that no rain will fall during the time that they prophesy. They have power to turn the waters to blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague whenever they wish.

7 Uye kana vapedza uchapupu hwavo, chikara chinokwira kubva mugomba risina chigadziko chichaita hondo navo, ndokuvakunda nekuvauraya. (Abyssos g12)

When they will have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will wage war against them. He will conquer them and kill them. (Abyssos g12)

8 Uye zvitunha zvavo zvichava panzira dzemuguta guru, rinonzi pamweya Sodhoma neEgipita, pakarovererwawo Ishe wedu.

Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city (which is symbolically called Sodom and Egypt) where their Lord was crucified.

9 Zvino vanobva kuvanhu nevemarudzi nevendimi nevendudzi vachaona zvitunha zvavo mazuva matatu nehafu, uye havangatenderi zvitunha zvavo kuti zviiswe mumakuva.

For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language, and nation will look at their bodies. They will not permit them to be placed in a tomb.

10 Neavo vanogara panyika vachafara pamusoro pavo nekupembera, uye vachatumirana zvipo, nokuti vaporofita ava vaviri vakatambudza vanogara panyika.

Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate. They will even send gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented those who lived on the earth.

11 Zvino shure kwemazuva matatu nehafu, mweya weupenyu kubva kuna Mwari wakapinda mavari, vakamira netsoka dzavo, uye kutya kukuru kukawira vakavaona.

But after three and a half days a breath of life from God will enter them, and they will stand on their feet. Great fear will fall on those who see them.

12 Zvino vakanzwa inzwi guru richibva kudenga, richiti kwavari: Kwirai pano. Zvino vakakwira kudenga vari mugore, vavengi vavo ndokuvaona.

Then they will hear a loud voice from heaven say to them, “Come up here!” Then they will go up into heaven in a cloud, while their enemies look on.

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 hour there will be a major earthquake, and a tenth part of the city will collapse. Seven thousand people will be killed in the earthquake, and the survivors will be terrified and give glory to the God of heaven.

14 Nhamo yechipiri yapfuura; zvino tarira, nhamo yechitatu inokurumidza kuuya.

The second woe is past. Look! The third woe is coming quickly.

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 sounded his trumpet, and loud voices spoke in heaven and said, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)

16 Uye vakuru makumi maviri nevana vagere pamberi paMwari pazvigaro zvavo zveushe vakawa nezviso zvavo vakanamata Mwari,

Then the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in the presence of God, fell upon their faces and worshiped God.

17 vachiti: Tinokuvongai, Ishe Mwari Wemasimbaose, aripo, wakange aripo, neachauya, nokuti makatora simba renyu guru, uye makatonga.

They said, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.

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, but your wrath has come. The time has come for the dead to be judged and for you to reward your servants the prophets, those who are believers, and those who feared your name, both the unimportant and the mighty. The time has come for you 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 God's temple in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, crashes of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
