1Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.
1Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine mwenye nguvu akishuka kutoka mbinguni. Alikuwa amevikwa wingu, na upinde wa mvua kichwani mwake. Uso wake ulikuwa kama jua, na miguu yake ilikuwa kama moto.
2He held in his hand a small scroll, which lay open. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.
2Mikononi mwake alishika kitabu kidogo kimefunguliwa. Aliweka mguu wake wa kulia juu ya bahari, na wa kushoto juu ya nchi kavu,
3Then he cried out in a loud voice like the roar of a lion. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.
3na kuita kwa sauti kubwa kama ya mngurumo wa simba. Alipopaaza sauti, ngurumo saba ziliitikia kwa kishindo.
4When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to put it in writing. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
4Na hizo ngurumo saba ziliposema, mimi nikataka kuandika. Lakini nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni: “Maneno ya ngurumo hizo saba ni siri; usiyaandike!”
5Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven.
5Kisha yule malaika niliyemwona akisimama juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu akainua mkono wake wa kulia juu mbinguni,
6And he swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it: “There will be no more delay!
6akaapa kwa jina la Mungu aishiye milele na milele, Mungu aliyeumba mbingu na vyote vilivyomo, bahari na vyote vilivyomo, dunia na vyote vilivyomo. Akasema, “Wakati wa kusubiri zaidi umekwisha!
7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants the prophets.”
7Lakini wakati ule malaika wa saba atakapotoa sauti yake, wakati atakapopiga tarumbeta yake, Mungu atakamilisha mpango wake wa siri kama alivyowatangazia watumishi wake manabii.”
8Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the small scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the land.”
8Kisha ile sauti niliyokuwa nimeisikia kutoka mbinguni pale awali ikasema nami tena: “Nenda ukakichukue kile kitabu kilichofunguliwa, kilicho mkononi mwa malaika asimamaye juu ya bahari na juu ya nchi kavu.”
9And I went to the angel and said, “Give me the small scroll.” “Take it and eat it,” he said. “It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
9Basi, nikamwendea huyo malaika, nikamwambia anipe hicho kitabu kidogo. Naye akaniambia, “Kichukue, ukile; kinywani mwako kitakuwa kitamu kama asali, lakini tumboni kitakuwa kichungu!”
10So I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.
10Basi, nikakichukua kitabu hicho kidogo kutoka mkononi mwa huyo malaika, nikakila; nacho kilikuwa kitamu kinywani mwangu kama asali, lakini nilipokimeza kikawa kichungu tumboni mwangu.
11And they told me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
11Kisha nikaambiwa, “Inakubidi tena kutangaza ujumbe wa Mungu kuhusu watu wengi, mataifa, watu wa lugha nyingi na wafalme!”
