16 (A)Awo ne mpulira eddoboozi ery’omwanguka okuva mu Yeekaalu nga ligamba bamalayika omusanvu nti, “Mugende muyiwe ku nsi ebibya omusanvu ebirimu ekiruyi kya Katonda.” (B)Malayika eyasooka n’ava mu Yeekaalu n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku nsi. Awo amabwa amazibu ne gajja ne gakwata buli muntu eyalina akabonero k’ekisolo na buli eyasinzanga ekifaananyi kyakyo.

(C)Malayika owookubiri n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku nnyanja, amazzi ne gafuuka ng’omusaayi gw’omuntu amaze ekiseera ekitono ng’afudde. Ebiramu byonna ebyali mu nnyanja ne bifa.

(D)Malayika owookusatu n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku migga ne ku nsulo z’amazzi, byonna ne bifuuka ng’omusaayi. (E)Ne mpulira malayika eyakola ku mazzi ng’ayogera nti,

“Oli mutuukirivu, Ayi ggwe Omutukuvu,
    aliwo era eyaliwo, kubanga bw’otyo bwe wasala omusango.
(F)Olw’okubanga baayiwa omusaayi gw’abatukuvu ne bannabbi,
    ogwo gwe musaayi gw’obawadde okunywa.”

(G)Awo ne mpulira ekyoto ng’akyogera nti,

“Weewaawo Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna,
    ensala yo ya bwenkanya era ya mazima.”

(H)Awo malayika owookuna n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku njuba, n’evaamu omuliro ne gwokya abantu. (I)Abantu ne bookebwa omuliro ogwagivaamu ne bavvoola erinnya lya Katonda Omuyinza w’ebibonyoobonyo ebyo, ne bateenenya okukyuka okuliwa ekitiibwa.

10 (J)Awo malayika owookutaano n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku ntebe ey’obufuzi bw’ekisolo, obwakabaka bwakyo ne bujjula ekizikiza. N’abo be kifuga nabo obulumi ne bubalumya obujiji, 11 (K)ne bavvoola Katonda ow’eggulu olw’obulumi bwe baalimu, n’amabwa agaali gabaluma, naye ne bateenenya bikolwa byabwe ebibi.

12 (L)Awo malayika ow’omukaaga n’ayiwa ekibya kye ku mugga omunene Fulaati ne gukalira, bakabaka ab’ebuvanjuba basobole okuyisaawo amaggye gaabwe. 13 (M)Ne ndaba emyoyo egitali mirongoofu esatu nga gifaanana ng’ebikere nga giva mu kamwa k’ogusota, n’ak’ekisolo, n’aka nnabbi ow’obulimba. 14 (N)Abo be baddayimooni abakozi b’ebyamagero abateesa n’abafuzi bonna ab’oku nsi okukuŋŋaana okulwana ne Katonda Ayinzabyonna ku lunaku olw’olutalo.

15 (O)“Laba, nzija ng’omubbi! Alina omukisa oyo alindirira n’akuuma ekyambalo kye nga kiyonjo, era taliyita bwereere, si kulwa ng’aswala.”

16 (P)Emyoyo egyo ne gibakuŋŋaanyiza mu kifo ekiyitibwa Magedoni mu Lwebbulaniya.

17 (Q)Awo malayika ow’omusanvu n’ayiwa ebyali mu kibya kye mu bbanga. Eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ne liva mu Yeekaalu mu ntebe y’obwakabaka nga lyogera nti, “Kiwedde.” 18 (R)Awo ne walabika okumyansa kw’eggulu n’okubwatuka ne musisi ow’entiisa atabangawo ku nsi. 19 (S)Ekibuga Babulooni ekikulu ne kyeyubuluzaamu ebitundu bisatu, n’ebibuga by’amawanga ne bigwa. Awo Babulooni ekikulu ne kijjukirwa mu maaso ga Katonda, era ne kiweebwa ekikompe ky’envinnyo eky’obukambwe bw’ekiruyi kya Katonda. 20 (T)Buli kizinga ne kidduka era tewaali lusozi na lumu olwalabikako. 21 (U)N’omuzira ogw’amaanyi ne gugwa okuva mu ggulu, buli mpeke ng’obuzito bwayo buwera nga kilo amakumi ataano malamba ne gukuba abantu. Abantu ne bakolimira Katonda olw’ekibonyoobonyo ekyo eky’okukubibwa omuzira ogw’amaanyi era omuzito bwe gutyo.

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple(A) saying to the seven angels,(B) “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”(C)

The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land,(D) and ugly, festering sores(E) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.(F)

The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.(G)

The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water,(H) and they became blood.(I) Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:

“You are just in these judgments,(J) O Holy One,(K)
    you who are and who were;(L)
for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,(M)
    and you have given them blood to drink(N) as they deserve.”

And I heard the altar(O) respond:

“Yes, Lord God Almighty,(P)
    true and just are your judgments.”(Q)

The fourth angel(R) poured out his bowl on the sun,(S) and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.(T) They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God,(U) who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent(V) and glorify him.(W)

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,(X) and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.(Y) People gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and cursed(Z) the God of heaven(AA) because of their pains and their sores,(AB) but they refused to repent of what they had done.(AC)

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,(AD) and its water was dried up to prepare the way(AE) for the kings from the East.(AF) 13 Then I saw three impure spirits(AG) that looked like frogs;(AH) they came out of the mouth of the dragon,(AI) out of the mouth of the beast(AJ) and out of the mouth of the false prophet.(AK) 14 They are demonic spirits(AL) that perform signs,(AM) and they go out to the kings of the whole world,(AN) to gather them for the battle(AO) on the great day(AP) of God Almighty.

15 “Look, I come like a thief!(AQ) Blessed is the one who stays awake(AR) and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”(AS)

16 Then they gathered the kings together(AT) to the place that in Hebrew(AU) is called Armageddon.(AV)

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,(AW) and out of the temple(AX) came a loud voice(AY) from the throne, saying, “It is done!”(AZ) 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder(BA) and a severe earthquake.(BB) No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth,(BC) so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city(BD) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered(BE) Babylon the Great(BF) and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.(BG) 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.(BH) 21 From the sky huge hailstones,(BI) each weighing about a hundred pounds,[a] fell on people. And they cursed God(BJ) on account of the plague of hail,(BK) because the plague was so terrible.
