< Revelation 14 >

1 But then I saw the [one who is like a] lamb standing on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem]. With him were 144,000 [people]. His name and his Father’s name had been written {[He] had written his name and his Father’s name} on their foreheads.
Ehenyizye nawenye Mwana Ngole ayemeleye hwitagalila lyane pamwanya Pigamba Sayuni. Pandwemo no mwene bhali 144, 000 abhetawa lyakwe ni tawa lya Baba wakwe lisimbiwe humaso gabho.
2 I heard a sound from heaven, which was as [loud] [SIM] as the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide [river of rushing] water) and which was [also as loud as] [SIM] mighty thunder. The sound that I heard was like [the sound that] people make when they are playing their harps.
Novwa esauti afume amwanya yonwehwa nashi enshinto eyemenze minji nesauti engosi yendapusi. Esauti yenonwezye nashi bhabhakhoma enonji bhabhakhoma enonji zyabho.
3 The 144,000 people were singing a new song [while they stood] in front of the throne, in front of the four living [creatures], and in front of the elders. Only the 144,000 [people], the ones who have been {whom [the one who is like a lamb] has} redeemed/bought from among the people on the earth, could learn that song. No one else could learn the song [that they sang].
Bhatela engoma empya hwitagalila hwitengo elyeshimwene nahwitagalila hwa anesho womi bhane nagogolo. Nomo hata yalinouwezo owamanyile olwo ong'oma kabhala 144, 000 bhashele bhabhuliwe afume mnsi.
4 Those 144,000 are the people who are [spiritually] pure, [like] virgins [are morally pure]. They have not (defiled themselves/made themselves impure) [MET] [by worshipping any false god]. They are the ones who accompany Jesus, the [one who is like a] lamb, wherever he goes. They [represent all those whom he has] redeemed/bought for God from among the people [of earth, in order that he might offer] them to God and to [himself].
Bhala bhabhala sebhahwiilufisye bhene hubhashe manabha hwihwutile bhene humbombo eyemalaya. Bhabhebha bhalondozezye Omwana Ngole paponti pahenda. Ebha madondo aya hwande hwa Ngolobhe nahwa Mwana Ngole.
5 [Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
Nalimo ilenka lyalyabhoneshe wilomu lyabho; sebhalawumiwa.
6 I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
Nalola ontumi owa mwabho aluha pahati eyemwanya, yashele aliakhete enongwa ezyamwanya owenongwa enyinza abhatangazizye bhabhakhala mnsi shila litaifa, ikabela, enjango, na bhantu. (aiōnios g166)
7 He said in a loud voice, “Revere God and honor him, because it is now time for him to judge [people]! Worship [God, because he is] the one who created the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the springs of water.”
Wabhakwizya hu sauti engosi, “Mwogopi Ongolobhe mpele owuzuvyo. Afwatanaje isiku elyalongwe lipalamie. Putaji omwene, omwene yabhombele emwanya, ne nsi, ne nsombi, na matoto ege menze.”
8 A second angel came after him saying, “The very evil [cities] (OR, [city]) [represented by] Babylon are completely destroyed! [God] has punished [their people because] they [have persuaded people of] all the nations [to forsake God, just like a prostitute] [MET] persuades [men] to drink [strong] wine and [as a result] commit sexual immorality.”
Ontumi owamwabho - ontumi owa bhele - walondozya wayanga, “Ogwiye, ogwiye Babeli wogosi, washele ohabhamwelezezye eshikholwe eshe umalaya neshikholwe shashele shaletile ilyoyo pamwanya pakwe.”
9 A third angel came next, saying in a loud voice, “If people worship the beast and its image and [allow] its mark to be put {its [agent to] put its mark} on their foreheads or on their hands,
Ontumi owamwabho - ontumi owatatu - abhalondozezye, ayanjile husauti ngosi, “Wawonti yabhahupute oyo omnyama nesanamu yakwe, naposhele eshilanjizo shapamaso gakwe namakhono,
10 God will be angry with them and punish them very severely [MET]. They will be tormented {[God] will torment them} in burning sulfur in the presence of his holy angels and in the presence of the [one who is like a] lamb.
wope nantele abhamwele eshikholweshe ilyoyo lya Ngolobhe, eshikholwe shashele shashilenganyiziwe na hwitwe nantele adibhanye hu shikombe shelyoyo lyakwe. Omntu yashele abhamwele abhalabhe humwoto no mwoto oweshibiliti pitagalila pantumi bhakwe abhinza napitagalila pa Mwana Ngole.
11 The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
Ni lyosi elya bhabhe hwabho wabhala wilawila nasebhali notoyo pasanya no siku - ebho bhabhahuputa omnyama ne sanamu yakwe, na shila mntu yaposheye eshilanjizyo eshitawa lyakwe. (aiōn g165)
12 So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
Owu wito wagolele na jimbe hwa bhelweteho bhala bha whogopa endajizyo ezya Ngolobhe no lweteho hwa Yesu.”
13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write [this: God will] now [abundantly] bless the people who have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus] for the rest of [their lives].” [God’s] Spirit says, “Yes, [after they die], they will no longer have to work hard. Instead, they will rest, and [the record of the good deeds] [MTY] that they have done will go with them (OR, [God] will [reward them] for the good deeds that they have done).”
Nonvwa esauti afume amwanya iyanga, “Simba ega: Nahwashi abhafwe bhabhafwashe Gosi.” “Shashesho,” ayanga Ompepo, “aje bhawezye atoye afume humbombo zyabho, maana embombo zyabho zyaibhalondozya.”
14 Then I was surprised to see a white cloud, and on the cloud [someone] was sitting who looked like the one who came from heaven. He [was wearing] a golden crown on his head. In his hand [he held] a sharp sickle.
Nahenyizye nalola hwalini bhengo izelu nayakheye pibhengo aliomo yali nashi Omwana wa Mntu. Ali ne taji eye dhahabu hwitwe lyakwe ne nsengo enyoji hukhono gwakwe.
15 Another angel came out of the temple [in heaven]. In a loud voice, [speaking figuratively about gathering people for God to judge them], he said to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “The time has come to reap [the grain on the earth], so with your sickle [reap] the [grain], because the grain on the earth is ripe.”
Ontumi owamwabho nantele ahenzele afume hu hekalu akwizizye hu sauti ngosi abhale hwola yakheye pibhengo: “Ega ensengo yaho oyande avune. Afwatanaje omda ogwa vunile gufishile, manaa mavuno gagali mnsi gakhomile.”
16 The one who was sitting on the cloud forcefully gathered together [all the people] on earth, [as] [MET] [a farmer] reaps grain with his sickle.
Nantele ola yali pibhengo ashizizye ensengo yakwe pamwanya pansi nesi yavunwa.
17 Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
No ntumi owa mwabho wenza afume hu hekalu elya mwanya; wape alinensengo enyoji.
18 From the altar came another angel. He is the one who takes care of the fire [of the altar. Also speaking figuratively about gathering the wicked people for God to judge and punish them], he said in a loud voice to the angel who held the sharp sickle, “With your sharp sickle cut off the clusters of grapes in the vineyards on the earth! Then gather the clusters of grapes together, because its grapes are ripe!”
Na asele ontumi owamwabho wenza afume humadhabahu, no ntumi yali na madalaka pamwanya pa mwoto. Wakwizya husauti engosi ontumi yali nensengo enyoji, “Ega ensengo enyoji naogabhonganye amasamba ege mzabibu afume hu mazabibu owa pansi, afatanaje ozabibu eshi gutonile.”
19 So, [just like a man would] cut off with his sickle the clusters of grapes in his vineyard [MET], an angel forcefully [gathered the wicked people] on the earth. Then he threw them into the huge place where God will angrily punish them.
Ontumi atwalile ensengo yakwe hunsi nabhonganye amayabhililo ege zabibu egeensi naagalisizye mwipipa igosi elye shimwelo yilyoyo lya Ngolobhe.
20 [The wicked people] were trampled on {[God’s agent] trod on [the wicked people]} [in] the winepress outside the city. The blood that came out from the winepress flowed [in a stream so deep that it reached] to the bridles of the horses, [and extended] (180 miles/300 kilometers).
Izubhulilo elye shimwelo lya polelwe lya polelwe hwonze yemenze ni danda litiha afume hwelo hwikhalilo lye falasi, hushinza 1, 600.
