Oluyimba lwa Banunule

14 (A)Awo ne ndaba Omwana gw’Endiga ng’ayimiridde ku lusozi Sayuuni, ng’ali n’abantu emitwalo kkumi n’ena mu enkumi nnya (144,000), ng’erinnya lye n’erya Kitaawe gawandiikiddwa mu byenyi by’abantu abo. (B)Ne mpulira eddoboozi eryava mu ggulu nga liyira ng’ekiyiriro eky’amazzi amangi n’okubwatuka kw’eggulu kwali kw’amaanyi nnyo. Eddoboozi eryo lyali ng’okuyimba okw’abayimbi nga bakuba n’ennanga zaabwe. (C)Ne bayimba oluyimba olwali ng’oluyimba oluggya olulungi ennyo mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka eya Katonda ne mu maaso g’ebiramu ebina n’abakadde. Ne wataba muntu n’omu eyasobola okuyiga oluyimba olwo okuggyako abo emitwalo ekkumi n’ena mu enkumi ennya, abaanunulibwa okuva mu nsi. (D)Abo be bantu abateeyonoonesanga eri abakazi; be bagoberera Omwana gw’Endiga buli gy’alaga. Baanunulibwa mu bantu ab’omu nsi ne beewaayo ng’ebibala ebibereberye eri Katonda n’eri Omwana gw’Endiga. (E)Si ba bulimba era tebaliiko kya kunenyezebwa.

Bamalayika Abasatu

(F)Awo ne ndaba malayika omulala ng’abuukira mu bbanga ng’alina Enjiri ey’emirembe n’emirembe ey’okubuulira abo abali mu nsi, na buli ggwanga, na buli kika, na buli lulimi n’abantu. (G)N’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Mutye Katonda era mwolese obukulu bwe, kubanga ekiseera kituuse alamule. Mumusinze oyo eyakola eggulu n’ensi, n’ennyanja, n’ensulo z’amazzi zonna.”

(H)Ate malayika omulala owookubiri n’amugoberera ng’agamba nti, “Babulooni kigudde! Kigudde, ekibuga ekikulu, kubanga kyasendasenda amawanga gonna okunywa ku nvinnyo y’obusungu obw’obwenzi bwakyo.”

(I)Ne malayika omulala owookusatu n’abagoberera ng’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Omuntu yenna anaasinza ekisolo n’ekifaananyi kyakyo, era anakkiriza okuteeka akabonero kaakyo ku kyenyi kye oba ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, 10 (J)oyo alinywa ku nvinnyo y’obusungu bwa Katonda, nga muka mu kikompe eky’obusungu bwe. Era alibonyaabonyezebwa n’omuliro ne salufa ebyaka mu maaso ga bamalayika abatukuvu ne mu maaso g’Omwana gw’Endiga. 11 (K)Omukka gw’okubonaabona kwabwe gunyooka emirembe n’emirembe, so tebaliiko we bawummulira emisana n’ekiro abo abaasinza ekisolo n’ekifaananyi kyakyo, ne bakkiriza n’okuteekebwako akabonero ak’erinnya lyakyo. 12 (L)Kino kisaanye okulaga abatukuvu abakwata ebiragiro bya Katonda ne bakkiririza mu Yesu ne bagumiikiriza okugezesebwa.”

13 (M)Awo ne mpulira eddoboozi nga liva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, “Wandiika kino nti okuva kaakano, balina omukisa abafu, abafiira mu Mukama waffe.”

“Balina omukisa ddala,” bw’ayogera Omwoyo. “Banaawummula okutegana kwabwe, kubanga ebikolwa byabwe bibagoberera.”

Okukungula kw’Ensi

14 (N)Ne ndaba, era laba, ekire ekyeru era nga kiriko akituddeko eyali afaanana ng’Omwana w’Omuntu eyalina engule eya zaabu ku mutwe gwe era ng’akutte ekiwabyo ekyogi mu mukono gwe. 15 (O)Awo malayika omulala n’ava mu Yeekaalu, n’amugamba mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Tandika okukozesa ekiwabyo kyo okukungula, kubanga ekiseera kituuse era n’ebyokukungula ku nsi byengedde.” 16 Bw’atyo eyali atudde ku kire n’awuuba ekiwabyo kye era n’akungula ensi.

17 Awo malayika omulala n’ava mu Yeekaalu ey’omu ggulu era naye ng’alina ekiwabyo ekyogi. 18 Malayika omulala eyalina obuyinza ku muliro, n’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba eyalina ekiwabyo ekyogi nti, “Kozesa ekiwabyo kyo osale ebirimba by’emizabbibu egy’oku nsi, kubanga gyengedde.” 19 (P)Bw’atyo malayika n’awuuba ekiwabyo ekyogi ku nsi, n’akuŋŋaanyiza ebibala ebyo mu ssogolero ly’obusungu bwa Katonda. 20 (Q)Emizabbibu egyo ne gisogolerwa ebweru w’ekibuga era omugga gw’omusaayi ne gukulukuta okuva mu ssogolero, obugulumivu bwagwo ne buba ng’okutuuka ku kyuma ky’omu kamwa k’embalaasi, ate obuwanvu bwagwo ne guweza nga kilomita ebikumi bisatu (300).

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,(A) standing on Mount Zion,(B) and with him 144,000(C) who had his name and his Father’s name(D) written on their foreheads.(E) And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.(H) And they sang a new song(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures(J) and the elders.(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.(N) They were purchased from among mankind(O) and offered as firstfruits(P) to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths;(Q) they are blameless.(R)

The Three Angels

Then I saw another angel flying in midair,(S) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth(T)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.(U) He said in a loud voice, “Fear God(V) and give him glory,(W) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made(X) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(Y)

A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’[a](Z) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”(AA)

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast(AB) and its image(AC) and receives its mark on their forehead(AD) or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,(AE) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.(AF) They will be tormented with burning sulfur(AG) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.(AH) There will be no rest day or night(AI) for those who worship the beast and its image,(AJ) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”(AK) 12 This calls for patient endurance(AL) on the part of the people of God(AM) who keep his commands(AN) and remain faithful to Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord(AO) from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit,(AP) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress

14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(AQ) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[b](AR) with a crown(AS) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(AT) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(AU) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(AV) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(AW) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(AX) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(AY) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AZ) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(BA) outside the city,(BB) and blood(BC) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[c]

14 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.

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:

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.

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.

And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

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,

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.

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.

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,

10 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:

11 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.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 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.

14 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.

15 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.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18 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.

19 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.

20 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.
