Songs of Deliverance
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Baada ya hayo nikasikia sauti kama sauti ya makutano mengi, sauti kubwa mbinguni, ikisema, Haleluya; wokovu na utukufu na nguvu zina BWANA MUNGU wetu.
2 for true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
kwa kuwa hukumu zake ni za kweli na za haki; maana amemhukumu yule kahaba mkuu aliyeiharibu nchi kwa uasherati wake, na kuipatiliza damu ya watumwa wake mkononi mwake.
3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Wakasema mara ya pili, Haleluya. Na moshi wake hupaa juu hata milele na milele.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Na wale wazee ishirini na wanne, na wale wenye uhai wanne, wakasujudu na kumwabudu Mungu, aketiye katika kile kiti cha enzi, wakisema, Amina, Haleluya.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Sauti ikatoka katika kile kiti cha enzi ikisema, Msifuni Mungu wetu, enyi watumwa wake wote, ninyi mnaomcha, wadogo kwa wakuu.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Nikasikia sauti kama sauti ya makutano mengi, na kama sauti ya maji mengi, na kama sauti ya radi yenye nguvu, ikisema, Haleluya; kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wetu, Mwenyezi, amemiliki.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Na tufurahi, tukashangilie, tukampe utukufu wake; kwa kuwa arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo imekuja, na mkewe amejiweka tayari.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Naye amepewa kuvikwa kitani nzuri, ing'arayo, safi; kwa maana kitani nzuri hiyo ni matendo ya haki ya watakatifu.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Naye akaniambia, Andika, Heri walioalikwa karamu ya arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo. Akaniambia, Maneno haya ni maneno ya kweli ya Mungu.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Nami nikaanguka mbele ya miguu yake, ili nimsujudie; akaniambia, Angalia, usifanye hivi; mimi ni mjoli wako na wa ndugu zako walio na ushuhuda wa Yesu. Msujudie Mungu. Kwa maana ushuhuda wa Yesu ndio roho ya unabii.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Kisha nikaziona mbingu zimefunuka, na tazama, farasi mweupe, na yeye aliyempanda, aitwaye Mwaminifu na Wa-kweli, naye kwa haki ahukumu na kufanya vita.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Na macho yake yalikuwa kama mwali wa moto, na juu ya kichwa chake vilemba vingi; naye ana jina lililoandikwa, asilolijua mtu ila yeye mwenyewe.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Naye amevikwa vazi lililochovywa katika damu, na jina lake aitwa, Neno la Mungu.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Na majeshi yaliyo mbinguni wakamfuata, wamepanda farasi weupe na kuvikwa kitani nzuri, nyeupe, safi.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Na upanga mkali hutoka kinywani mwake ili awapige mataifa kwa huo. Naye atawachunga kwa fimbo ya chuma, naye anakanyaga shinikizo la mvinyo ya ghadhabu ya hasira ya Mungu Mwenyezi.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS.
Naye ana jina limeandikwa katika vazi lake na paja lake, MFALME WA WAFALME, NA Bwana WA MABwana.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Kisha nikaona malaika mmoja amesimama katika jua; akalia kwa sauti kuu, akiwaambia ndege wote warukao katikati ya mbingu, Njoni mkutane kwa karamu ya Mungu iliyo kuu;
18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men , both free and bond, both small and great.
mpate kula nyama ya wafalme, na nyama ya majemadari, na nyama ya watu hodari, na nyama ya farasi na ya watu wawapandao, na nyama ya watu wote, waungwana kwa watumwa, wadogo kwa wakubwa.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Kisha nikamwona huyo mnyama, na wafalme wa nchi, na majeshi yao, wamekutana kufanya vita na yeye aketiye juu ya farasi yule, tena na majeshi yake.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Yule mnyama akakamatwa, na yule nabii wa uongo pamoja naye, yeye aliyezifanya hizo ishara mbele yake, ambazo kwa hizo aliwadanganya watu wale walioipokea ile chapa ya huyo mnyama, nao walioisujudia sanamu yake; hao wawili wakatupwa wangali hai katika lile ziwa la moto liwakalo kwa kiberiti;
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
na wale waliosalia waliuawa kwa upanga wake yeye aliyeketi juu ya yule farasi, upanga utokao katika kinywa chake. Na ndege wote wakashiba kwa nyama zao.
