1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Kisha nikaona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, mwenye ufunguo wa kuzimu, na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Akamshika yule joka, yule nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ni Ibilisi na Shetani, akamfunga miaka elfu;
3 and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
akamtupa katika kuzimu, akamfunga, akatia muhuri juu yake, asipate kuwadanganya mataifa tena, hata ile miaka elfu itimie; na baada ya hayo yapasa afunguliwe muda mchache.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi, wakaketi juu yake, nao wakapewa hukumu; nami nikaona roho zao waliokatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda wa Yesu, na kwa ajili ya neno la Mungu, na hao wasiomsujudia yule mnyama, wala sanamu yake, wala hawakuipokea ile chapa katika vipaji vya nyuso zao, wala katika mikono yao; nao wakawa hai, wakatawala pamoja na Kristo miaka elfu.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Hao wafu waliosalia hawakuwa hai, hata itimie ile miaka elfu.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Huo ndio ufufuo wa kwanza. Heri, na mtakatifu, ni yeye aliye na sehemu katika ufufuo wa kwanza; juu ya hao mauti ya pili haina nguvu; bali watakuwa makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo, nao watatawala pamoja naye hiyo miaka elfu.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Na hiyo miaka elfu itakapokwisha, Shetani atafunguliwa, atoke kifungoni mwake;
8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
naye atatoka kuwadanganya mataifa walio katika pembe nne za nchi, Gogu na Magogu, kuwakusanya kwa vita, ambao hesabu yao ni kama mchanga wa bahari.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Wakapanda juu ya upana wa nchi, wakaizingira kambi ya watakatifu, na mji huo uliopendwa. Moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni, ukawala.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are , and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Na yule Ibilisi, mwenye kuwadanganya, akatupwa katika ziwa la moto na kiberiti, alimo yule mnyama na yule nabii wa uongo. Nao watateswa mchana na usiku hata milele na milele.
Visions of Glory
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Kisha nikaona kiti cha enzi, kikubwa, cheupe, na yeye aketiye juu yake; ambaye nchi na mbingu zikakimbia uso wake, na mahali pao hapakuonekana.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Nikawaona wafu, wakubwa kwa wadogo, wamesimama mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi; na vitabu vikafunguliwa; na kitabu kingine kikafunguliwa, ambacho ni cha uzima; na hao wafu wakahukumiwa katika mambo hayo yaliyoandikwa katika vile vitabu, sawasawa na matendo yao.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Bahari ikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake; na Mauti na Kuzimu zikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake. Wakahukumiwa kila mtu kwa kadiri ya matendo yake.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Mauti na Kuzimu zikatupwa katika lile ziwa la moto. Hii ndiyo mauti ya pili, yaani, hilo ziwa la moto.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Na iwapo mtu ye yote hakuonekana ameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa katika lile ziwa la moto.
