1And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was on his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as 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.
2And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth.
2Mikononi mwake alishika kitabu kidogo kimefunguliwa. Aliweka mguu wake wa kulia juu ya bahari, na wa kushoto juu ya nchi kavu,
3And he cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
3na kuita kwa sauti kubwa kama ya mngurumo wa simba. Alipopaaza sauti, ngurumo saba ziliitikia kwa kishindo.
4And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Seal up the things which the seven thunders have spoken; and write them not.
4Na hizo ngurumo saba ziliposema, mimi nikataka kuandika. Lakini nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni: “Maneno ya ngurumo hizo saba ni siri; usiyaandike!”
5And the angel, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his 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 that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things which are therein; and the earth, and the things which are in it; and the sea, and the things which are therein: That time shall be no longer.
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 shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he hath declared by 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.”
8And I heard a voice from heaven again speaking to me, and saying: Go, and take the book that is open, from the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea, and upon the earth.
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, saying unto him, that he should give me the book. And he said to me: Take the book, and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be 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!”
10And I took the book from the hand of the angel, and ate it up: and it was in my mouth, sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was 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 he said to me: Thou must prophesy again to many nations, and peoples, and tongues, and kings.
11Kisha nikaambiwa, “Inakubidi tena kutangaza ujumbe wa Mungu kuhusu watu wengi, mataifa, watu wa lugha nyingi na wafalme!”
