1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Zaka 1,000
1Ndipo ndinaona mngelo akutsika kuchokera kumwamba ali ndi kiyi ya ku chidzenje chakuya chija atanyamula mʼdzanja lake unyolo waukulu. 2Iye anachigwira chinjokacho, chinjoka chakalekale chija, amene ndi Mdierekezi kapena kuti Satana, ndipo anamumanga zaka 1,000. 3Anamuponya ku chidzenje chakuya chija namutsekera ndi kiyi ndi kumatirira pa khomopo kuti asatulukenso kukanyenga mitundu ya anthu mpaka patapita zaka 1,000. Zikadzatha zakazo, adzamumasula kwa kanthawi pangʼono chabe.
4Ndinaona mipando yaufumu pamene anakhalapo anthu amene anapatsidwa mphamvu zoweruza. Ndipo ndinaona mizimu ya amene anadulidwa makosi chifukwa cha umboni wa Yesu ndi chifukwa cha Mawu a Mulungu. Iwo sanapembedze nawo chirombo kapena fano lake ndipo sanalembedwe chizindikiro chake pa mphumi zawo kapena pa manja awo. Iwo anakhalanso ndi moyo nalamulira pamodzi ndi Khristu zaka 1,000. 5(Akufa ena onse sanaukenso mpaka zitatha zaka 1,000). Uku ndiko kuuka kwa akufa koyamba. 6Odala ndi oyera mtima amene adzaukitsidwa nawo pa kuukitsidwa koyamba. Imfa yachiwiri ilibe mphamvu pa iwo koma adzakhala ansembe a Mulungu ndi a Khristu ndipo adzalamulira naye pamodzi zaka 1,000.
Kugonjetsedwa kwa Satana
7Zaka 1,000 zikadzatha, Satana adzamasulidwa ku ndende yake 8ndipo adzapita kukanyenga mitundu ya anthu kumbali zonse zinayi za dziko lapansi, Gogi ndi Magogi, kuwasonkhanitsa kuti akachite nkhondo. Kuchuluka kwawo kudzakhala ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja. 9Iwo anayenda ponseponse pa dziko lapansi nazinga msasa wa anthu a Mulungu, mzinda umene Iye amawukonda. Koma moto unatsika kuchokera kumwamba ndi kuwanyeketsa. 10Ndipo Mdierekezi amene anawanyenga, anaponyedwa mʼnyanja ya sulufule wotentha, kumene kunaponyedwa chirombo chija ndi mneneri wonama uja. Iwo adzazunzika usiku ndi usana kwamuyaya.
Chiweruzo Chotsiriza
11Kenaka ndinaona Mpando Waufumu waukulu woyera ndi Iye amene anakhalapo. Dziko lapansi ndi kumwamba zinathawa pamaso pake ndipo panalibenso malo awo. 12Ndipo ndinaona akufa, aakulu ndi aangʼono omwe atayimirira patsogolo pa Mpando Waufumu ndipo mabuku anatsekulidwa. Buku lina linatsekulidwa limene linali Buku Lamoyo. Akufa anaweruzidwa monga mwa zimene anachita monga mmene zinalembedwera mʼmabuku. 13Nyanja inapereka amene anaferamo ndipo imfa ndi Hade zinapereka akufa ake ndipo munthu aliyense anaweruzidwa monga mwa ntchito zake. 14Kenaka imfa ndi Hade zinaponyedwa mʼnyanja ya moto. Nyanja yamoto ndiyo imfa yachiwiri. 15Ngati dzina la wina aliyense silinapezeke mʼBuku Lamoyo, anaponyedwa mʼnyanja yamoto.
