Zvakazarurwa 14

¹Zvino ndakatarira, ndikavona Gwaiana rimire pagomo reZiyoni, rinavamwe vanezvuru zvinezana namakumi mana navana, vanezita raro, nezita raBaba varo, rakanyorwa pahuma dzavo.And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

²Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richibva kudenga, senzwi remvura zhinji, vuye senzwi rokutinhira kukuru; nenzwi randakanzwa ranga rakaita seravaridzi vorudimbwa vachiridza vudimbwa bwavo.And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

³Vakaimba rwiyo rutsva pamberi pechigaro chovushe, napamberi pezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina, naVakuru; hakunomunhu wakagona kudzidza rwiyo urwu, asi vaya vanezvuru zvinezana namakumi mana navana, vakadzikinurwa vachibva panyika.And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

⁴Ndivo vasina kusvibiswa navakadzi; nokuti vakanaka semhandara. Ndivo vanotevera Gwaiana kwose kwarinoenda. Ndivo vakadzikinurwa pakati pavanhu, kuti vave zvibereko zvokutanga kunaMwari nokuGwaiana.These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

⁵Mumuromo mavo hamuna kuvonekwa nhema, havana chavangapomerwa pamberi pechigaro chaMwari.And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

⁶Zvino ndakavona mumwe mutumwa achibhururuka pakati pedenga, aneEvhangeri isingaperi, kuti aiparidzire vanogara panyika, namarudzi ose, nendudzi dzose, nendimi dzose, navanhu vose.And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

⁷Akati nenzwi guru: Ityai Mwari, mumurumbidzei; nokuti nguva yake yokutonga yasvika; namatai iye, wakasika denga, nenyika, negungwa, namatsime emvura.Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

⁸ipapo mumwe mutumwa wakatevera, achiti: Rawa, Rawa, Bhabhironi, guta guru, rakanwisa marudzi ose waini yokutsamwa kwovupombwe bwaro.And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

⁹ipapo mumwe mutumwa wechitatu wakatevera, akati nenzwi guru: Kana munhu akanamata chikara nomufananidzo wacho, nokugamuchira chiratidzo pahuma yake kana paruvoko rwake.And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

¹⁰naiye uchanwa vo waini yokutsamwa kwaMwari, yakadirwa isina kuvhenganiswa mumukombe wehasha dzake; uchatambudzwa mumoto nesurferi pamberi pavatumwa vatsvene, napamberi peGwaiana.The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

¹¹Vutsi bwokutambudzika kwavo bwunokwira nokusingaperi-peri; havanezororo masikati novusiku, ivo vanonamata chikara nomufananidzo wacho nounogamuchira chiratidzo chezita racho.And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

¹²Ndipo panokutsungirira kwavatsvene, ndivo vanochengeta mirairo yaMwari nokutenda kwaJesu.Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹³Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richibva kudenga, richiti: kwandiri Nyora, uti: Vakafa, vanofira munaShe, vakaropafadzwa kubva zvino. Hongo, ndizvo zvinotaura Mweya, kuti vazorore pakubata kwavo kukuru, nokuti mabasa avo anovatevera.And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

¹⁴Ipapo ndakatarira, ndikavona gore jena, nomumwe wakaita soMwanakomana womunhu agere pamusoro paro, anekorona yendarama pamusoro wake naparuvoko rwake anejeko rinopinza.And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁵Zvino mumwe mutumwa wakabuda mutembere, akadanidzira nenzwi guru kunaiye wakanga agere pamusoro pegore, achiti: Tumai jeko renyu mucheke; nokuti nguva yokucheka yenyu yasvika, nokuti kucheka kwenyika kwaibva.And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

¹⁶Ipapo wakanga agere pamusoro pegore akakandira jeko rake panyika, nyika ikachekwa.And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

¹⁷Zvino mumwe mutumwa wakabuda mutembere iri kudenga, naiye vo anejeko rinopinza.And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

¹⁸Nomumwe mutumwa wakanga anesimba pamusoro pomoto, akabuda paaritari, akadanidzira nenzwi guru kunaiye wakanga anejeko rinopinza, achiti: Tumai jeko renyu rinopinza, mucheke masumbu omuzambiringa wenyika, nokuti mazambiringa ayo aibva.And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

¹⁹Ipapo mutumwa wakakandira jeko rake panyika, akacheka muzambiringa wenyika, akazvikandira muchisviniro chikuru chokutsamwa kwaMwari.And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

²⁰Chisvinuro chakatsikwa kunze kweguta, ropa rikabuda muchisvinuro rikasvika pamatomu amabhiza, rikaenda mastadia anechuru chinamazana matanhatu.*And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
