Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the Abyss, holding in his hand a great chain.
1Kisha nikamwona malaika mmoja anashuka kutoka mbinguni akiwa na ufunguo wa kuzimu na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake.
2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
2Akalikamata lile joka—nyoka wa kale, yaani Ibilisi au Shetani—akalifunga kwa muda wa miaka elfu moja.
3And he threw him into the Abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete. After that, he must be released for a brief period of time.
3Malaika akalitupa Kuzimu, akaufunga mlango wa kuingilia huko na kuutia mhuri ili lisiweze tena kuyapotosha mataifa mpaka hapo miaka elfu moja itakapotimia. Lakini baada ya miaka hiyo ni lazima lifunguliwe tena, lakini kwa muda mfupi tu.
4Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
4Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi na watu walioketi juu yake; watu hao walipewa mamlaka ya hukumu. Niliona pia roho za wale waliokuwa wamenyongwa kwa sababu ya kumtangaza Yesu na kwa sababu ya neno la Mungu. Hawa hawakumwabudu yule mnyama na sanamu yake, wala hawakupigwa alama yake juu ya paji za nyuso zao, au juu ya mikono yao. Walipata tena uhai, wakatawala pamoja na Kristo kwa muda wa miaka elfu moja.
5The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years were complete. This is the first resurrection.
5(Wale wengine waliokufa hawakupata uhai mpaka miaka elfu moja itimie.) Huu ndio ufufuo wa kwanza.
6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
6Wameneemeka sana, tena heri yao wote wanaoshiriki ufufuo huu wa kwanza. Kifo cha pili hakitakuwa na nguvu juu yao; watakuwa makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo, na watatawala pamoja naye kwa miaka elfu moja.
7When the thousand years are complete, Satan will be released from his prison,
7Wakati miaka elfu mia moja itakapotimia, Shetani atafunguliwa kutoka gerezani mwake.
8and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to assemble them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the seashore.
8Basi, atatoka nje, ataanza kuyapotosha mataifa yote yaliyotawanyika kila mahali duniani, yaani Gogu na Magogu. Shetani atawakusanya pamoja kwa ajili ya vita; nao watakuwa wengi kama mchanga wa pwani.
9And they marched across the broad expanse of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them.
9Walitawanyika katika nchi yote, wakaizunguka kambi ya watu wa Mungu na mji wa Mungu aupendao. Lakini moto ulishuka kutoka mbinguni, ukawaangamiza.
10And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, into which the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
10Ibilisi, aliyekuwa anawapotosha, akatupwa ndani ya ziwa linalowaka moto wa kiberiti, walimo yule mnyama na yule nabii wa uongo, nao watateswa mchana na usiku, milele na milele.
11Then I saw a great white throne and the One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.
11Kisha nikaona kiti cha enzi kikubwa cheupe, na yule aketiye juu yake. Dunia na mbingu vikatoweka mbele ya macho yake, na havikuonekana tena.
12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books.
12Kisha nikawaona watu wakubwa na wadogo, wamesimama mbele ya kiti cha enzi, na vitabu vikafunguliwa. Halafu kitabu kingine, yaani kitabu cha uzima, kikafunguliwa pia. Wafu wakahukumiwa kadiri ya matendo yao, kama ilivyoandikwa ndani ya vitabu hivyo.
13The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds.
13Bahari ikawatoa nje wafu waliokuwa ndani yake; kifo na kuzimu vikawatoa nje wafu waliokuwa ndani yao. Kila mmoja akahukumiwa kufuatana na matendo yake.
14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire.
14Kisha kifo na kuzimu vikatupwa ndani ya ziwa la moto. Ziwa hili la moto ndicho kifo cha pili.
15And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
15Mtu yeyote ambaye jina lake halikupatikana limeandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa katika ziwa la moto.
