Revelation 19

1 After this I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!

1 Baada ya haya nikasikia sauti kama ya umati mkubwa mbinguni wakipiga kelele wakisema: “Haleluya! Wokovu na utukufu na uweza ni vya Mungu wetu,

2 For His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the blood of His servants that was poured out by her hand.”

2 kwa maana hukumu zake ni za kweli na za haki. Amemhukumu yule kahaba mkuu aliyeuharibu ulimwengu kwa uzinzi wake. Mungu amemlipiza kisasi kwa ajili ya damu ya watumishi wake.”

3 And a second time they called out: “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises forever and ever.”

3 Wakasema tena kwa nguvu: “Haleluya! Moshi wake huyo kahaba unapanda juu milele na milele.”

4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying: “Amen, Hallelujah!”

4 Wale wazee ishirini na wanne pamoja na wale viumbe wanne wenye uhai wakaanguka kifudifudi, wakamwabudu Mungu, aliyekuwa ameketi kwenye kile kiti cha enzi. Wakasema kwa sauti kuu: “Amen, Haleluya!”

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you who serve Him, and those who fear Him, small and great alike!”

5 Kisha sauti ikatoka katika kile kiti cha enzi, ikisema: “Msifuni Mungu wetu, ninyi watumishi wake wote, ninyi nyote mnaomcha, wadogo kwa wakubwa!”

6 And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

6 Kisha nikasikia sauti kama ya umati mkubwa, kama sauti ya maji mengi yaendayo kasi na kama ngurumo kubwa ya radi wakipiga kelele wakisema: “Haleluya! Kwa maana Bwana Mungu wetu Mwenyezi anatawala.

7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.

7 Tufurahi, tushangilie na kumpa utukufu! Kwa maana arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo imewadia na bibi arusi wake amejiweka tayari.

8 She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.

8 Akapewa kitani safi, nyeupe inayongʼaa, ili avae.” (Hiyo kitani safi inawakilisha matendo ya haki ya watakatifu.)

9 Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”

9 Ndipo malaika akaniambia, “Andika: ‘Wamebarikiwa wale walioalikwa kwenye karamu ya arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo!’” Naye akaongeza kusema, “Haya ndiyo maneno ya kweli ya Mungu.”

10 So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

10 Ndipo nikaanguka kifudifudi miguuni pake ili kumwabudu, lakini yeye akaniambia, “Usifanye hivyo! Mimi pia ni mtumishi mwenzako pamoja na ndugu zako walio na ushuhuda wa Yesu. Mwabudu Mungu! Maana ushuhuda wa Yesu ndio roho ya unabii.”

11 Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.

11 Kisha nikaona mbingu imefunguka na hapo mbele yangu akiwepo farasi mweupe, ambaye yeye aliyempanda aliitwa Mwaminifu na Kweli. Yeye huhukumu kwa haki na kufanya vita.

12 He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.

12 Macho yake ni kama miali ya moto na juu ya kichwa chake kuna taji nyingi. Ana jina lililoandikwa ambalo hakuna mtu yeyote anayelijua isipokuwa yeye mwenyewe.

13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.

13 Amevaa joho lililochoviwa katika damu, na Jina lake ni “Neno la Mungu.”

14 The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses.

14 Majeshi ya mbinguni walikuwa wakimfuata, wakiwa wamepanda farasi weupe, hali wamevaa mavazi ya kitani safi, nyeupe na nzuri.

15 And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

15 Kinywani mwake hutoka upanga mkali ambao kwa huo atayaangusha mataifa. “Atayatawala kwa fimbo yake ya utawala ya chuma.” Hulikanyaga shinikizo la mvinyo wa ghadhabu ya Mungu Mwenyezi.

16 And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

16 Kwenye joho lake na paja lake pameandikwa jina hili: Mfalme wa wafalme, na Bwana wa mabwana.

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,

17 Nami nikamwona malaika amesimama ndani kwenye jua, akaita ndege wote warukao angani kwa sauti kuu, “Njooni, kusanyikeni kwa ajili ya karamu kubwa ya Mungu,

18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of everyone slave and free, small and great.”

18 ili mpate kula nyama ya wafalme na ya majemadari, ya mashujaa, ya farasi na ya wapanda farasi, nyama ya wanadamu, wote walio huru na watumwa, wadogo na wakubwa.”

19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army.

19 Kisha nikamwona yule mnyama na wafalme wa dunia pamoja na majeshi yao wakiwa wamekusanyika pamoja ili kufanya vita dhidi ya yule aliyempanda farasi pamoja na jeshi lake.

20 But the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

20 Lakini yule mnyama akakamatwa pamoja na huyo nabii wa uongo ambaye alikuwa amefanya ishara kwa niaba ya huyo mnyama, ambaye kwa ishara hizi aliwadanganya wale waliopokea chapa ya huyo mnyama na kuiabudu sanamu yake. Hawa wawili wakatupwa wakiwa hai ndani ya ziwa la moto liwakalo kwa kiberiti.

21 And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from the mouth of the One seated on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

21 Wale waliosalia waliuawa kwa upanga uliotoka kinywani mwa yule aliyekuwa amempanda farasi nao ndege wote wakajishibisha kwa nyama yao.
