Chivumbulutso 9
1 Mngelo wachisanu anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo ndinaona nyenyezi ikugwa pa dziko lapansi kuchokera ku thambo. Nyenyeziyo inapatsidwa kiyi ya ku chidzenje chakuya. (Abyssos g12)
The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
2 Nyenyeziyo itatsekula pa chidzenje chakuyacho panatuluka utsi ngati wochokera mʼngʼanjo yayikulu. Dzuwa ndi thambo zinada chifukwa cha utsi ochokera mʼdzenjemo. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Ndipo mʼkati mwa utsimo munatuluka dzombe kukalowa mʼdziko lapansi ndipo linapatsidwa mphamvu zoluma ngati za zinkhanira pa dziko lapansi.
Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 Dzombelo linalamulidwa kuti lisawononge udzu wa pa dziko lapansi, kapena chomera chilichonse, kapena mtengo uliwonse, koma anthu okhawo amene analibe chizindikiro cha Mulungu pa mphumi zawo.
They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God's seal on their foreheads.
5 Silinapatsidwe mphamvu yowapha koma yowazunza kwa miyezi isanu. Ndipo ululu umene anthuwo anawumva unali ngati wa chinkhanira chikaluma munthu.
They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.
6 Masiku amenewo anthu adzafunafuna imfa koma sadzayipeza. Adzalakalaka kufa koma imfa izidzawathawa.
In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 Dzombe linkaoneka ngati akavalo okonzekera nkhondo. Pamitu pawo panali ngati zipewa zaufumu zagolide ndipo nkhope zawo ngati za anthu.
The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.
8 Tsitsi lawo linali ngati la amayi, mano awo ngati a mikango.
They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9 Dzombelo linavala za pachifuwa zachitsulo. Phokoso la mapiko awo linali ngati phokoso la magaleta ankhondo ambiri okokedwa ndi akavalo othamangira ku nkhondo.
They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.
10 Linali ndi michira ngati zinkhanira ndi mbola. Mʼmichira yake munali mphamvu yozunza nayo anthu kwa miyezi isanu.
They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.
11 Mfumu yawo inali mngelo wolamulira Chidzenje chakuya chija. Mʼchihebri dzina lake ndi Abadoni ndipo mʼChigriki ndi Apoliyoni (tanthauzo lake ndiye kuti, Wowononga). (Abyssos g12)
They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Avadu," and in Greek, he has the name "Apolon." (Abyssos g12)
12 Tsoka loyamba lapita; matsoka ena awiri akubwerabe.
The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.
13 Mngelo wachisanu ndi chimodzi anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo ndinamva liwu lochokera ku ngodya zinayi za guwa lansembe lagolide lija lokhala pamaso pa Mulungu.
The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Liwulo linati kwa mngelo wachisanu ndi chimodzi amene anali ndi lipenga uja, “Masula angelo anayi amene anamangidwa pa mtsinje waukulu wa Yufurate.”
saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Pherath."
15 Ndipo anamasulidwadi angelo anayi aja amene anasungidwa kukonzekera ora ili, tsiku ili, mwezi uwu ndi chaka ichi kuti aphe limodzi la magawo atatu a anthu.
The four angels were freed who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of humanity.
16 Ndinamva chiwerengero cha ankhondo a pa akavalo aja, kuti chinali 200 miliyoni.
The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
17 Akavalo ndi okwerapo amene ndinaona mʼmasomphenya anga ankaoneka motere: Zovala za pachifukwa pawo zinali zofiira ngati moto, zobiriwira ngati utsi, ndi zachikasu ngati miyala ya sulufule. Mitu ya akavalowo inali ngati ya mikango ndipo mʼkamwa mwawo munkatuluka moto, utsi ndi sulufule.
Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a anthu linaphedwa ndi miliri yamoto, utsi ndi sulufule zimene zinkachoka mʼkamwa mwawo.
By these three plagues were one third of humanity killed: from the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 Mphamvu za akavalowo inali mʼkamwa mwawo ndi mʼmichira mwawo; pakuti michira yawo inali ngati njoka; ndi mitu imene inkalumira.
For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.
20 Anthu ena onse amene sanaphedwe ndi miliri imeneyi sanalapebe kuti asiye ntchito zawo zoyipa. Iwo sanasiye kupembedza ziwanda ndi mafano agolide, asiliva, amkuwa, amwala ndi amtengo, mafano amene sangathe kuona, kumva kapena kuyankhula.
The rest of humanity, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 Sanalapenso kuleka zakupha, zamatsenga awo, zachigololo zawo kapena umbava wawo.
They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
