Zvakazarurwa 7

¹Shure kwaizvozvo ndakavona vatumwa vana, vamire kumativi mana enyika, vakabata mhepo ina dzenyika, kuti mhepo irege kurira panyika, kana pagungwa, kana pamiti yose.And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

²Ipapo ndakavona mumwe mutumwa achikwira achibva kumabvazuva, anechisimbiso chaMwari mupenyu; akadana nenzwi guru kuvatumwa vana, vaya vakanga vapiwa simba kuti vatadzire nyika negungwa,And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

³achiti: Musatadzira nyika, kana gungwa, kana miti, kusvikira taisa chisimbiso pahuma dzavaranda vaMwari.Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

⁴Ndikanzwa kuwanda kwavakaiswa chisimbiso; vanezvuru zvinezana namakumi mana nezvina, vakaiswa chisimbiso vachibva kumarudzi ose avana vaIsraeri.And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

⁹Shure kwaizvozvo ndakatarira, ndikavona vazhinji-zhinji vasingagoni kuverengwa nomunhu, vakabva kundudzi dzose, namarudzi, navanhu, nendimi, vamire pamberi pechigaro chovushe, napamberi peGwaiana, vakapfeka nguvo chena, vakabata michindwe mumavoko avo;After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

¹⁰vakadanidzira nenzwi guru, vachiti: Ruponeso ngaruve kunaMwari unogara pachigaro chovushe, nokuGwaiana.And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

¹¹Ipapo vatumwa vose vakamira, vakakomba chigaro chovushe, naVakuru, nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina, vakawira pasi nezviso pamberi pechigaro chovushe, vakanamata Mwari,And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

¹²vachiti: Ameni: Kurumbidzwa, nokubwinya, nokuchenjera, nokuvonga, nokukudzwa, novushe, nesimba, ngazvive kunaMwari nokusingaperi-peri. Ameni.Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹³Ipapo mumwe waVakuru wakapindura, akati kwandiri: Ava vakapfeka nguvo chena ndivananiko? Vakabvepiko?And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

¹⁴Ndikati kwaari; Ishe wangu, imi munoziva. Akati kwandiri: Ndivo vanobva kukutambudzika kukuru, vakasuka nguvo dzavo vakadzichenesa muropa reGwaiana.And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵Naizvozvo vari pamberi pechigaro chovushe chaMwari, vanomushumira masikati novusiku mutembere yake; iye, unogara pachigaro chovushe, uchavadzitira netabernakeri.Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

¹⁶Havachazoziyi nenzara, havachazofi nenyota; havangapiswi nezuva kana nokumwe kupisa;They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

¹⁷nokuti Gwaiana riri pakati pechigaro chovushe richavafudza, richavatungamirira kumatsime emvura yovupenyu; Mwari uchapisika misodzi yose kumeso avo.For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
