Chiyubunuzyo 8
1 Lino mwana wambelele wakajula chijazyo chamusanu atubili, kwakaba kumunisya kujulu kwachipanzi chahola.
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 Mpawo ndakabona bangelo balimusanu ababili kabayimvwi kunembo lyaLeza amyeembo ilimusanu ayibili yakapegwa mbabo.
I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Awumwi mungelo wakaza, kanyampwide kapeyili kangolida katununkilizyo, kayimvwi kuchipayilo chatununkilizyo. Tununkilizyo twiingi twakapegwa nguwe kuti atupe nkombyo yabantu baLeza boonse basalala achipayililo changolida kunembo lyachuuno chabulemu.
Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 Busi bwatununkilizyo - ankombyo zaybantu baLeza basalala - bwakanyampuka kunembo lyaLeza kuzwa mumaboko amungelo.
The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 Mungelo wakabweza kapeyili katununkilizyo akukazuzya mulilo kuzwa achipayililo. Mpawo wakawalila ansi anyika, alimwi kwakali mpatumpatu zyandabe, mubbalubbal, kumweka kwatulabi, amuzuzumo wanyika.
The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Bangelo balimusanu ababili bakali amyeembo ilimusana ayibili bakalibambila kuti bayilizye.
The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 Mungelo mutanzi wakalizya mweembo wakwe alimwi kwakaba bulmu amulilo uvwelene abulow. Wakabwalilwa ansi anyika, alimwi akuti chisela chatatu chawo chakawumpigwa. Chisela chatatu chamisamu chakawumpigwa, amasokwe matyetye woonse akumpigwa.
And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 Mungelo wabili wakalizya mweembo wakwe, alimwi chimwi chintu chilimbuli chiluundu chipati chiyaka mulilo chakawalilwa mulwizi.
The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
9 Chisela chatatu chazilenge zipona chakafwa achisela chatatu chabwato chakapazigwa.
and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Mungelo watatu wakalizya mweembo wakwe, alimwi nyenyeezi mpati yakawa kuzwa kujulu, kibayima mbuli lampi, kuchisela chatatu chamilonga ameenda amutusawu.
The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of the waters.
11 Izina lyanyenyezi eyo litegwa chisamu chikasala. Chisela chatatu chameenda chakaba chisamu chikasala, abantu bingi bakazwa bakajigwa ameenda alweela.
The name of the star is called "Wormwood." One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Mungelo wane wakalizya mweembo wakwe, alimwi chisela chatatuchazuba chakawumvwa, mbuli chisela chatatu chamweezi achisela chatatu chanyenyezi. Chisela chatatu chazimwi chakasizigw, chisela chatatu chabuzuba achisela chatatu chamansiku techakachili amumuni.
The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day would not shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 Ndakalanga alimwi ndakamvwa chikwangala amwi malembe alabbla liti mungelomuchindi chakuti chikwangala. Oyo wakali kuluuka atata kayita ajwi pati, “' Mawe, mawe, mawe kulabo bapona anyika nkaambo kamweembo ichede yamba kulizigwa abangelo batatu.”
I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe. Woe. Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound."
