The Angel and the Temple
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Nikapewa mwanzi kama fimbo; na mmoja akaniambia, Inuka, ukalipime hekalu la Mungu, na madhabahu, na hao wasujuduo humo.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Na behewa iliyo nje ya hekalu uiache nje wala usiipime, kwa maana Mataifa wamepewa hiyo, nao wataukanyaga mji mtakatifu miezi arobaini na miwili.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Nami nitawaruhusu mashahidi wangu wawili, nao watatoa unabii siku elfu na mia mbili na sitini, hali wamevikwa magunia.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Hao ndio ile mizeituni miwili na vile vinara viwili visimamavyo mbele za Bwana wa nchi.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Na mtu akitaka kuwadhuru, moto hutoka katika vinywa vyao na kuwala adui zao. Na mtu akitaka kuwadhuru, hivyo ndivyo impasavyo kuuawa.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Hao wana amri ya kuzifunga mbingu, ili mvua isinyeshe katika siku za unabii wao. Nao wana amri juu ya maji kuyageuza kuwa damu, na kuipiga nchi kwa kila pigo, kila watakapo.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Hata watakapoumaliza ushuhuda wao, yule mnyama atokaye katika kuzimu atafanya vita nao, naye atawashinda na kuwaua.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Na mizoga yao itakuwa katika njia ya mji ule mkuu, uitwao kwa jinsi ya roho Sodoma, na Misri, tena ni hapo Bwana wao aliposulibiwa.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Na watu wa hao jamaa na kabila na lugha na taifa waitazama mizoga yao siku tatu u nusu, wala hawaiachi mizoga yao kuwekwa kaburini.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Nao wakaao juu ya nchi wafurahi juu yao na kushangilia. Nao watapelekeana zawadi wao kwa wao, kwa kuwa manabii hao wawili waliwatesa wao wakaao juu ya nchi.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Na baada ya siku hizo tatu u nusu, roho ya uhai itokayo kwa Mungu ikawaingia, wakasimama juu ya miguu yao; na hofu kuu ikawaangukia watu waliowatazama.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Wakasikia sauti kuu kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, Pandeni hata huku. Wakapanda mbinguni katika wingu, adui zao wakiwatazama.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Na katika saa ile palikuwa na tetemeko kuu la nchi, na sehemu ya kumi ya mji ikaanguka; wanadamu elfu saba wakauawa katika tetemeko lile. Na waliosalia wakaingiwa na hofu, wakamtukuza Mungu wa mbingu.
14 The second woe is past; and , behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Ole wa pili umekwisha pita, tazama ole wa tatu unakuja upesi.
The Last Trumpet's Peal
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Malaika wa saba akapiga baragumu, pakawa na sauti kuu katika mbingu, zikisema, Ufalme wa dunia umekwisha kuwa ufalme wa Bwana wetu na wa Kristo wake, naye atamiliki hata milele na milele.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Na wale wazee ishirini na wanne waketio mbele za Mungu katika viti vya enzi vyao wakaanguka kifulifuli, wakamsujudia Mungu
17 saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
wakisema, Tunakushukuru wewe, Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi, uliyeko na uliyekuwako, kwa sababu umeutwaa uweza wako ulio mkuu, na kumiliki.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Na mataifa walikasirika, hasira yako nayo ikaja, na wakati ukaja wa kuhukumiwa waliokufa, na wa kuwapa thawabu yao watumwa wako manabii na watakatifu, na hao walichao jina lako, wadogo kwa wakubwa, na wa kuwaharibu hao waiharibuo nchi.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Kisha Hekalu la Mungu lililoko mbinguni likafunguliwa, na sanduku la agano lake likaonekana ndani ya hekalu lake. Kukawa na umeme, na sauti, na radi, na tetemeko la nchi, na mvua ya mawe nyingi sana.
