Chivumbulutso 8
1 Atatsekula chomatira chachisanu ndi chiwiri, kumwamba kunakhala chete mphindi makumi atatu.
When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.
2 Ndipo ndinaona angelo asanu ndi awiri aja amene amayimirira pamaso pa Mulungu, akupatsidwa malipenga asanu ndi awiri.
Then I saw the seven angels who are in the presence of God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Mngelo wina amene anali ndi chofukizira chagolide anabwera nayimirira pa guwa lansembe. Anapatsidwa lubani wambiri kuti amupereke pamodzi ndi mapemphero a anthu onse oyera mtima pa guwa lansembe lagolide patsogolo pa mpando waufumu.
And another angel came and stood close to the altar, carrying a censer of gold; and abundance of incense was given to him that he might place it with the prayers of all God's people upon the golden altar which was in front of the throne.
4 Fungo la lubani pamodzi ndi mapemphero a oyera mtima zinakwera kumwamba kwa Mulungu kuchokera mʼdzanja la mngeloyo.
And the smoke of the incense rose into the presence of God from the angel's hand, and mingled with the prayers of His people.
5 Kenaka mngeloyo anatenga chofukizira nachidzaza ndi moto wochokera pa guwa lansembe ndi kuponya pa dziko lapansi ndipo nthawi yomweyo panachitika mabingu, phokoso, mphenzi ndi chivomerezi.
So the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and flung it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder, and voices, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
6 Angelo asanu ndi awiri anakonzekera kuyimba malipenga asanu ndi awiri.
Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made preparations for blowing them.
7 Mngelo woyamba anayimba lipenga lake ndipo kunabwera matalala ndi moto wosakanizana ndi magazi ndipo unaponyedwa pa dziko lapansi. Gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a dziko lapansi linapsa, gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a mitengo linapsa ndi gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a udzu wauwisi linapsanso.
The first blew his trumpet; and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, falling upon the earth; and a third part of the earth was burnt up, and a third part of the trees and all the green grass.
8 Mngelo wachiwiri anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo chinthu china chooneka ngati phiri lalikulu loyaka moto, chinaponyedwa mʼnyanja. Gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a nyanja linasanduka magazi.
The second angel blew his trumpet; and what seemed to be a great mountain, all ablaze with fire, was hurled into the sea; and a third part of the sea was turned into blood.
9 Gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a zolengedwa zonse zamoyo za mʼnyanja, linafa, ndipo gawo limodzi la sitima za pamadzi linawonongedwa.
And a third part of the creatures that were in the sea--those that had life--died; and a third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 Mngelo wachitatu anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo nyenyezi yayikulu, yoyaka ngati muni inachoka kumwamba nigwera pa gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a mitsinje ndi pa akasupe amadzi.
The third angel blew his trumpet; and there fell from Heaven a great star, which was on fire like a torch. It fell upon a third part of the rivers and upon the springs of water.
11 Dzina la nyenyeziyo ndi Chowawa. Gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a madzi anasanduka owawa ndipo anthu ambiri anafa chifukwa cha madzi owawawo.
The name of the star is 'Wormwood;' and a third part of the waters were turned into wormwood, and vast numbers of the people died from drinking the water, because it had become bitter.
12 Mngelo wachinayi anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo chimodzi cha zigawo zitatu za dzuwa, za mwezi ndi za nyenyezi zinamenyedwa kotero chimodzi mwa zitatu za zonsezi zinada. Panalibenso kuwala pa chimodzi mwa zigawo zitatu za usana, ndi chimodzimodzinso usiku.
Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet; and a curse fell upon a third part of the sun, a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them were darkened and for a third of the day, and also of the night, there was no light.
13 Ndinayangʼananso ndipo ndinaona ndi kumva chiwombankhanga chimene chinkawuluka mlengalenga kwambiri chikuyankhula mofuwula kuti, “Tsoka, Tsoka! Tsoka lalikulu kwa anthu okhala mʼdziko lapansi, angelo otsala aja akangoyimba malipenga awo!”
Then I looked, and I heard a solitary eagle crying in a loud voice, as it flew across the sky, "Alas, alas, alas, for the inhabitants of the earth, because of the significance of the remaining trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!"
