< Revelation 8 >
1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Mgbe o meghere akara nke asaa, akụkụ niile nke eluigwe dara jụụ ruo ihe dị ka iri nkeji atọ.
2 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
Ahụrụ m ndị mmụọ ozi asaa, ndị na-eguzo nʼihu Chineke. E nyere ha opi ike nʼotu nʼotu.
3 Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.
Mmụọ ozi ọzọ nke ji ite igwe ntakịrị e ji ọlaedo kpụọ bịara guzo nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja. E nyere ya ọtụtụ ụda na-esi isi ụtọ ka o jiri chụọ aja, ya na ekpere ndị nsọ niile, nʼebe ịchụ aja e jiri ọlaedo wuo, nʼihu ocheeze ahụ.
4 The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.
Anwụrụ ọkụ nke ihe ahụ na-esi isi ụtọ, ya na ekpere ndị nsọ sitere nʼaka mmụọ ozi ahụ rigoo elu nʼihu Chineke.
5 The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, then threw it on the earth. Thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake followed.
Mgbe ahụ kwa, mmụọ ozi ahụ weere ọkụ sitere nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ tinye ya nʼime ite igwe ntakịrị ahụ, tụda ya, ka ọ danye nʼime ụwa. Mgbe o mere nke a, ụzụ egbe eluigwe dara, amụma gbukwara nʼụzọ dị oke egwu. Ala ọma jijiji dakwasịkwara ebe niile nʼụwa.
6 The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị mmụọ ozi asaa ahụ ndị ji opi asaa ahụ jikeere onwe ha ịfụ opi ike ahụ.
7 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 burned up, and one third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke mbụ fụrụ opi ike ya, a tụdara mkpụrụ mmiri na ọkụ a gwakọtara ya na ọbara nʼime ụwa. Nke a mere ka otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke osisi rechapụrụ ọkụ, e rechapụkwara ahịhịa ndụ niile ọkụ.
8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke abụọ fụkwara opi ike ya, a tụdara ihe yiri ugwu dị ukwuu na-enwu ọkụ nʼime osimiri. Nke a mere ka otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere osimiri niile chagharịa ghọọ ọbara.
9 and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke ihe niile dị ndụ dị nʼime osimiri nwụrụ. Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere ụgbọ mmiri niile dị nʼelu osimiri lara nʼiyi.
10 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 water.
Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke atọ fụrụ opi ike ya, otu kpakpando dịkarịsịrị ukwuu nke na-enwu dị ka ọwaọkụ sitere na mbara eluigwe danye nʼime otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere iyi niile na isi iyi niile.
11 The name of the star is “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
Aha kpakpando ahụ bụ Ilu ilu. Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke mmiri malitere ilu ilu, ọtụtụ mmadụ nwụrụ nʼihi mmiri a na-elu ilu.
12 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.
Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke anọ fụrụ opi ike ya, e mere ka otu akụkụ nʼime akụkụ atọ e kere anyanwụ gbaa ọchịchịrị. Otu a kwa, otu akụkụ nʼime akụkụ atọ e kere ọnwa gbara ọchịchịrị. Ya na otu akụkụ nʼime atọ e kere kpakpando niile. Nke a mere ka anyanwụ hapụ inyekwa ìhè ya nʼuju dịka o si eme na mbụ. Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere ehihie ghọkwara oke ọchịchịrị, ọ dịkwa otu a nʼoge anyasị.
13 I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the other blasts of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”
Elere m anya, hụ ma nụkwa otu ugo ka ọ na-efegharị nʼetiti mbara eluigwe na-eti mkpu nʼolu ike na-asị, “Ahụhụ! Ahụhụ! Ahụhụ dịrị mmadụ niile bi nʼụwa nʼihi ụda opi ike nke ndị mmụọ ozi atọ ndị a ga-afụ.”
