Kisha nikaona ishara nyingine katika mbingu, iliyo kubwa, na ya ajabu; malaika saba wenye mapigo saba ya mwisho; maana katika hayo ghadhabu ya Mungu imetimia.
Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven final plagues, with which the wrath of God is completed.

Tena nikaona kitu kama mfano wa bahari ya kioo iliyochangamana na moto, na wale wenye kushinda, watokao kwa yule mnyama, na sanamu yake, na kwa hesabu ya jina lake, walikuwa wamesimama kando-kando ya hiyo bahari ya kioo, wenye vinubi vya Mungu.
And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, beside which stood those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name. They were holding harps from God,

Nao wauimba wimbo wa Musa, mtumwa wa Mungu, na wimbo wa Mwana-Kondoo, wakisema, Ni makuu, na ya ajabu, matendo yako, Ee Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi; Ni za haki, na za kweli, njia zako, Ee Mfalme wa mataifa.
and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!
4
Ni nani asiyekucha, Ee Bwana, na kulitukuza jina lako? Kwa kuwa wewe peke yako u Mtakatifu; kwa maana mataifa yote watakuja na kusujudu mbele zako; kwa kuwa matendo yako ya haki yamekwisha kufunuliwa.
Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

Na baada ya hayo nikaona, na hekalu la hema ya ushuhuda mbinguni lilifunguliwa;
After this I looked, and the temple—the tabernacle of the Testimony—was opened in heaven.
6
na wale malaika saba, wenye mapigo saba, wakatoka katika hekalu, wamevikwa mavazi ya kitani safi, ya kung'aa, wamefungwa vifuani mwao mishipi ya dhahabu.
And out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean and bright linen and girded with golden sashes around their chests.
7
Na mmoja wa wale wenye uhai wanne akawapa wale malaika saba vitasa saba vya dhahabu, vimejaa ghadhabu ya Mungu, aliye hai hata milele na milele.
Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
8
Hekalu likajazwa moshi uliotoka kwenye utukufu wa Mungu na uweza wake. Wala hapakuwa na mtu aliyeweza kuingia ndani ya hekalu, hata yatimizwe mapigo saba ya wale malaika saba.
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
