< Chiunukuko 6 >

1 Nipele nambweni Mwanangondolo achimatukulaga chimo mwa imatilo saba ila, ni nampilikene jumo jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi yo alinkuŵecheta kwa liloŵe lyakulindima, “Njise!”
And I saw when the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures speaking, like a voice of thunder, Come.
2 Nipele nachiweni chinyama chachiswela chachikuŵilanjikwa falasi. Ajula jwachikwesile ali ajigele ukunje. Akunnungu ŵampele jwelejo chindu mpela singwa ja chimwenye. Nipele ajula juŵapundile jwatyosile ni kwaula kwapunda ŵandu.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse: and the one sitting on him having a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and that he might conquer.
3 Sooni paŵachimatukwile chimatilo chaŵili, nampilikene jwaaŵili jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi achitiji, “Njise!”
And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
4 Pelepo jwakopochele falasi jwine jwanchejeu. Juŵankwesile falasi jo ŵapegwilwe masengo ga kuchisumula chitendewele pa chilambo kuti ŵandu aulagane achinsyene, nombewo ŵapegwilwe lipanga lyalikulungwa.
And there went out a red horse: and to him sitting on him it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they shall slay one another: and a great sword was given him.
5 Ni paŵachimatukwile chimatilo chaatatu, nampilikene jwaatatu jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi achitiji, “Njise!” Nipele nammweni falasi jwampiliu ni juŵankwesile falasi jo ali ajigele chindu chakupimila chisilo mu nkono wakwe.
And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw; and behold a black horse; and the one sitting on him having a balance in his hand.
6 Nipele napilikene mpela liloŵe pasikati ja yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche yo lichitiji, “Chibaba cha utandi wa shayili chikusumikwa kwa malipilo ga masengo ga lyuŵa limo, ni ibaba itatu ya shaili ikusumikwa iyoyo nambo ngasingajonanga mauta ni divai!”
And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a denarion, and three measures of barley for a denarion; and hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 Paŵachimatukwile chimatilo cha ncheche, nampilikene jwa ncheche jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi achitiji, “Njise!”
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come.
8 Ni nammweni falasi jwa chiliu. Ni jwankwesile jwele falasi jo liina lyakwe lili Chiwa alongene ni liuto lya ŵandu ŵawile. Nombe wose ŵaŵili ŵapegwilwe ulamusi wa mbua ja ncheche ja chilambo, ŵaulaje ŵandu kwa lipanga pane kwa sala pane kwa ilwele pane kuulagwa ni inyama ya mu chilambo. (Hadēs g86)
And I saw, and behold a livid horse: and the one sitting on him, to him the name was Death, and Hades followed along with him: and power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to slay with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and with the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Paŵachimatukwile chimatilo cha nsano nasiweni paasi pa chilisa cha kwinani, mbumu sya ŵandu ŵaŵaulajikwe kwa ligongo lya kulalichila liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni ligongo lya umboni uŵautyosile.
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw beneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain on account of the word of God, and the testimony which they had.
10 Ŵalisile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa achitiji, “Ambuje ŵaali ni ukombole ni ŵaswela ni ŵausyenesyene chinkaŵe mpaka chakachi, kwika kukwalamula ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo ni kwajamuka ŵelewo ŵaŵatuuleje!”
And they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell upon the earth?
11 Akunnungu ŵapele kila jumo chiwalo cheleu ni cheswela ni kwasalila kuti apunde kulindilila kwa moŵa kanandi mpaka pachamalile kuulajikwa achikapolo achinjao ni achalongo achinjao mpela yatite kuulajikwa ŵanyawo.
And a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them, that they should wait a little while, until their fellow-servants and brethren, who are about to be slain as they were should be fulfilled.
12 Nipele naiweni mwanangondolo paŵachimatukwile chimatilo cha sita, kwaliji ni chindendemesi chachikulungwa cha chilambo, lyuŵa lyatendekwe lyepiliu ŵii, ni lwesi lwatendekwe lwechejeu nti miasi.
And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the full moon became like blood;
13 Ni ndondwa syagwile pachilambo, chisau chitela cha ntini yachikuti pakulakatisya isogosi yakwe yangakomala paukupukunyikwa ni mbungo jajikulungwa.
and the stars of the heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig-tree casting her unripe figs, when shaken by a mighty wind;
14 Kumaunde kwaŵiligwe mpela mpasa ni kutyochekwa. Itumbi yose ni ilumba yose chisejechekwe kutyochela kwiuto kwakwe.
and the heaven rolled away as a book is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 Mamwenye ŵa pachilambo, achakulu ni achakulungwa ŵa ngondo ni ŵandu ŵa kusichila ni ŵandu ŵa machili ni kapolo jwalijose ni mundu jwangaŵa kapolo, ŵalisisile mmbugu ni pasikati ja lwala syasili mmatumbi.
And the kings of the earth, and the mighty men, and the chiliarchs, and the rich men, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
16 Achigasalilaga matumbi ni lwala kuti, “Ntugwilile ni kutusisa kuti tukaloleka paujo pa ngope ja ŵelewo ŵakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye ni lutumbilo lwa Mwanangondolo!
and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the one sitting upon the throne, and the wrath of the Lamb:
17 Pakuŵa lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya lutumbilo lwao liiche. Ana ŵaani uchakombole kulama?”
because the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?
