Ufunuo 17:8
Revelation 17:8 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Huyo mnyama ambaye ulimwona, wakati fulani alikuwepo, lakini sasa hayupo, naye atapanda kutoka lile Shimo na kwenda kwenye maangamizo yake. Watu waishio duniani ambao majina yao hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha uzima tangu kuumbwa kwa ulimwengu watastaajabu kumwona huyo mnyama, kwa maana alikuwepo wakati fulani, na sasa hayupo, lakini atakuwepo.
Revelation 17:8 in English
Revelation 17:8 · Berean Standard Bible
The beast that you saw—it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. And those who dwell on the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet will be.
Context
6Nikaona kuwa huyo mwanamke alikuwa amelewa kwa damu ya watakatifu, yaani, damu ya wale watu waliouawa kwa ushuhuda wa Yesu.
Nilipomwona huyo mwanamke, nilistaajabu sana. 7Ndipo yule malaika akaniambia, “Kwa nini unastaajabu? Nitakufafanulia siri ya huyo mwanamke na huyo mnyama aliyempanda, mwenye vichwa saba na pembe kumi. 8Huyo mnyama ambaye ulimwona, wakati fulani alikuwepo, lakini sasa hayupo, naye atapanda kutoka lile Shimo na kwenda kwenye maangamizo yake. Watu waishio duniani ambao majina yao hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha uzima tangu kuumbwa kwa ulimwengu watastaajabu kumwona huyo mnyama, kwa maana alikuwepo wakati fulani, na sasa hayupo, lakini atakuwepo. 9“Hapa ndipo penye wito wa akili pamoja na hekima. Vile vichwa saba ni vilima saba ambavyo huyo mwanamke amevikalia. 10Pia hivyo vichwa saba ni wafalme saba ambao miongoni mwao watano wamekwisha kuanguka, yupo mwingine hajaja bado, lakini atakapokuja, atalazimika kukaa kwa muda mfupi.
