Chiyubunuzyo 9
1 Mpawo mungelo wamusanu wakalizya mweeembo wakw, ndakabona nyenyeezi kujulu yakali yawida ansi anyika. Inyenyeezi eyi yakapegwa achijaluzyo mulyango wamulindi uutagoli. (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 Wakajula mulyango wamulindi, alimwi busi bwakaya mujulu kuzwa kuzwa kumulyango mbuli busi buzwa muchijikilo chansimbi. Izuba amoya zyakasanduka kuba mudima abusi bwakwazwa kumulyango. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Kuzwa mubusi insozi zyakaza anyik, alimwi zyakapegwa nguzi mbuli zyakabanze anyika.
Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 Zyaka ambilwa kuti zipazi sokwe lyaansi naba mweevwe wazilimwa naba musamu, pesi buyo bantu abo batakwe nibakali mpa yaLeza ankumu zyabo.
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 don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.
5 Tezyakazumizigwa kubajaya bantu abo, pesi biyo kuti basubulwe kwamweezi ilimusanu. Busaki bwazyo bwakali mbuli bwakaniozi kakabanze nikaluma muntu.
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 Kumazuba ayo bantu bayoolangula lufu pesi tabakooyolujana pe. Bayooyandisya kapati kufw, pesi lufu luyobasosoloka.
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 Insozi eezi zyakali kulangika mbuli madonki abambilwa baya kunkondo. Amitwe yawo kwakali chilimbuli musini wangolida, abusyu bwawo bwakali mbuli bwabantu.
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 Aakali asusu mbuli lyabanakazi, amenyo awo akali mbuli menyo amulavu.
They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9 Balaachikwabilizya akaango mbuli zikwabilizyo zyansimbi, alimwi musindo wamababa awo ulimbuli munkalaki amadonki achijanina nkondo.
They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
10 Akalamichila ilatuniozi mbuli twakabanze; mumuchila yawo mwakali busaki bwakuchisya bantukwamyezi ilimusanu.
They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
11 Bali mbuli mwami wabo mungelo wamumulindi utagoli. Izina lyakwe muchiHibbulu walikutegwa Abbadoni, muchiGilikki kali azina litegwa Apoloni. (Abyssos g12)
They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”, but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”. (Abyssos g12)
12 Inkondo tanzi yakayinda. Amubone! kwayinda eezi kuchili nteenda zibili zichiza.
The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
13 Mungelo wamusanu awumwi wakalizya mweembo wakwe, alimwi ndakamvwa ijwi kalizwa mumeja achipayililo changolida chipedwa kunembo lyaLeza.
The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Akwambila mungelo wamusanu awumwi wakali amweembo,” Angununa bangelo bane bakangwa kumulonga mupati wakuEfulate.”
saying to the sixth angel who had the shofar, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
15 Bangelo bane bakali balibambila kuhola ely, kubuzuba obo, kumweezi oyo, amunyaka oyo, bakangununwa kuti bajaye chisela chatatu chabantu.
The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
16 Mweelwe wabasilumamba bakali amusana wamadonki bali zyulu zyamyanda ili makumi abili. Ndakamvwa mweelo wabo.
The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
17 Mbuboobu mbundakabona madonki muchilengaano changu abaabo bakali biinga (akkede). Zikwabilizyo zyabo zyakali kusalala, zyamyiiye azya syantondo. Mitwe yamadonki yakali mbuli mitwe yabalavu amunkanwa yawo mwakazwa mulilo, busi asalufa.
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 horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Chisela chatatu chabantu chakajayigwa azibela zitatu: mulilo, busi, asalufa wakazwa munkanwa lyawo.
By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 Nkaambo nguzu zyamadonki zyakali munkanwa lyawo amumichila - nkaambo michila yawo yakali mbuli nzoka, kalamitwe eyo yakali kumezya zilonda kubantu.
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 Kulyokezya kwabantu, abo batakwe bakajegwa achibela eechi, tebakasanduka kumilimu yamaboko, na kuleka kukomba basikazwa achikozyano chazibeze zyangolide, siliva, mukuba, mabwe, achisamu - zintu zitaboni, akumvwa, akweenda.
The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can’t see, hear, or walk.
21 Nikuba kutasanduka kubujayi bwab, kumasampu abo, kubwaamu akunchito zyakubba.
They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
