Chiyubunuzyo 6
1 Ndakalanga Mwana mbelele, nakavununa chimwi chazinamatizyo zili musanu azibili mpawo ndakamvwa umwi wabanyama bane bapona kaamba mujwi eelyo lyakamvwika mbuli lulabi kati, “Boola!
I looked when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice that sounded like thunder, “Come!”
2 Ndakalanga alimwi kwakali mbizi ituba. Wakakkede aali njiyo wakajisi buta, mpawo wakapedwe musini. Wakazwa mbuli muzundi kuti aakazunde.
I looked and there was a white horse. Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown. He came out as a conqueror in order to conquer.
3 Mwanambelele nakavununa chijazyo chabili, ndakamvwa munyama wabili uupona kati, “Boola!
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
4 Mpawo ayimwi mbizi yakazwa - isalala iyoosya. Kumwenzyi wayo wakapegwa nguzu zyakugwisya luumuno kuzwa aansi, kuti bantu bakajayane. Ooyu mweenzyi wakapedwe kafulo kapati.
Then another horse came out—fiery red. To its rider was given permission to take peace away from the earth, so that its people would slaughter one another. This rider was given a huge sword.
5 Mwanambelele naakavununa chijazyo chatatu, ndakamvwa munyama watatu kati, “Boola!”
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I saw a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand.
6 Ndakamvwa chakali kubanga ndijwi akati kabanyama boone bapona kaliti, “Mweelo wawiti ulawulwa a syeleni lyomwe, mpawo mwelwekelo yabbale itatu iyowulwa a syeleni. Pesi utanyonyoni mafuta awayini.”
I heard what seemed to be a voice among the four living creatures say, “A choenix of wheat for one denarius, and three choenices of barley for a denarius. But do not harm the oil and the wine.”
7 Mwanambelele naakamvwa chijazyo chaane, ndakamvwa ijwi lyamunyama wane uupona kaliti, “Boola!”
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
8 Mpawo ndakabona mbizi isiyasiya. Mweenzyi wakakkede alinjiyo wakali kutegwa Lufu, alakwe Gehena wakali kumutobela. Bakapegwa nguzu kuchipanzi chane chaansi, kuti bajaye ikafulo, anzala mpati adwazi, abanyama bamusokwe baansi. (Hadēs g86)
Then I saw a pale horse. The rider on it was named Death, and Hades was following him. They were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine and disease, and with the wild animals of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Mwanambelele naakavununa chijaluzyo chamusanu, ndakabona kunsi lyachipayililo myuuya yabaabo bakajayidwe nkambo kajwi lya Leza abukamboni mbubakajisi.
When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God and the testimony which they held.
10 Bakalila ajwi ipati, “kusika kuchiindinzi, Mwendelezi waboonse, usalala akasimpe, lumwi ukabeteke aabo bakkede aansi, mpawo lumwi ukayulile bulowanbwesu?”
They cried out with a loud voice, “How long, Ruler over all, holy and true, until you judge those who live on the earth, and until you avenge our blood?”
11 Mpawo umwi awumwi wabo wakapegwa chkobela chituba, alimwi bakambilwa kuti belede kulindila kwakayindi lumwi mweelwe uzulide wabazikenyina abakwabo aabo bakasilayigwe, mbubonya mbubakajayigwa, wakazulila.
Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told that they should wait a little longer until the full number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters was reached who were to be killed, just as they had been killed.
12 Mwanambelele naakavununa chijaluzyo chamusanu achimwi, ndakeebela alimwi kwakali muzuzumo wanyika. Izuba lyakasiya mbuli chisamo chasaka,
When the Lamb opened the sixth seal, I watched and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as black as sackcloth, and the full moon became like blood.
13 Nyenyezi mumajulu zyakawida aansi, mbubonya mbuli mukuyu mbuwisya michelo yawo kutana kubizwa nuzunganisigwa amyuuwo mipati.
The stars in the heavens fell to the earth, just as a fig tree drops its unripe fruit when shaken by a stormy wind.
14 Julu lyakamana mbuli bbuku eelyo lyakalikuya buya buvungililwa. Zilundi zyoonse atusuwa zyakagwisigwa kubusena bwazyo.
The sky vanished like a scroll that was being rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 Mpawo bami baansi abantu bapati, abasinkondo bapati, abavubi, abasinguzu aboonse, bazike abalubusi, bakayuba mumapako aakati amabwe aamuzilundu.
Then the kings of the earth and the important people, and the generals, and the rich, and the powerful, and everyone else, slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 Bakaamba kuti kuzilundu akumandomba aamabwe, “Amutuwide! Mutusise kuzwa kubusyu bwayoyo ukkede achuuno chabwami akuzwa kubukkali bwa Mwanambelele.
They said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who is seated on the throne and from the Lamb's wrath.
17 Nkambo buzuba bupati bwabukali bwabo bwasika. Ngwani ukonzya kwima?”
For the great day of their wrath has come. Who is able to stand?”
