< Revelation 9 >
1 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 (Abyssos ) was given to him.
Mbasi yi ntanu yisika tulumbeta, buna ndimona mbuetete yimosi yiba ku diyilu yidoduka va ntoto ayi bamvana tsabi yi dibulu di diyenga. (Abyssos )
2 He opened the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos ), 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.
Niandi wuzibula dibulu di diyenga ayi muisi wutotuka mu dibulu wuba banga muisi wu nludi wu mbazu yinneni. Buna muisi wu dibulu wunombisa thangu ayi phemo. (Abyssos )
3 Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Makhoko matotukila mu muisi beni; mawu matembakana va ntoto ayi matambula lulendo lolo ludedikini banga lu zikhutu zi ntoto.
4 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 do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.
Mawu makambu ti mabika vanga mbimbi buba kuidi biti bi ntoto, buba biti binlangu, buba kuidi nti wumosi vayi mavanga mambimbi kuidi batu bakambulu dimbu ki Nzambi mu zimbulu ziawu.
5 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.
Mawu masia tambula ko minsua mu vonda vayi mu yamisa mu tezo ki zingondi zitanu. Vayi ndiamusulu yawu yidi banga ndiamusulu yi khutu bu yitatikidi mutu.
6 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.
Mu bilumbu bina batu bela tomba lufua vayi balendi lutambula ko. Bela mona tsatu yi fua vayi lufua luela kuba tina.
7 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.
Makhoko momo madedakana banga ziphunda zikubuku mu mvita. Mu mintu miawu muba bibudu biba bidedakana banga nolo; bizizi biawu biba banga bizizi bi batu.
8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
Zitsuki ziawu ziba banga zi baketo ayi meno mawu maba banga meno ma zikhosi.
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
Minkaku mi zithulu ziawu miawu miba banga minkaku mi sengo. Biyoko bi mavavi mawu biba banga biyoko bi ziphunda ziwombo zintitika “Salio” bu zinzawula mu mvita.
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
Bosi minkila miawu midedakana banga mi zikhutu. Lulendo luawu luvangila batu mbimbi mu tezo ki zingondi zitanu luba mu minkila miawu.
11 They have over them as king the angel of the Abyss (Abyssos ). His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon", and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon".
Mbasi yi diyenga niandi ntinu makhoko beni ayi dizina diandi mu ki Ebelewo dinsundula: Abadoni bosi mu kingeleki dizina diandi Apolioni. (Abyssos )
12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
Mabienga ma theti maviokidi; tala mammuadi malembo landakana mama.
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Mbasi yi nsambanu yisika tulumbeta ayi ndiwa mbembo yitotukila mu zitsongi ziya zi ntala wu nolo wuba va ntuala Nzambi.
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
Mbembo beni yituba kuidi mbasi yi nsambanu yisimba tulumbeta: —Nianguna zimbasi ziya ziozi zidi zikangama va ndambu Efalata, nlangu wunneni.
15 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.
Banianguna zimbasi ziya ziozi zikubuku mu diambu di thangu, lumbu, ngondi ayi mvu muingi zivonda ndambu yimosi mu zindambu zitatu zi batu.
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
Ndiwa thalu yi batu bobo bandiatilanga va mbata phunda. Baba makumuadi ma mafunda buela kumi di mafunda.
17 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.
Tala phila ndimuena ziphunda mu tsongolo ayi batu bobo bavuanda va mbata yi ziphunda beni: bavuata minkaku mu zithulu, miba mi mbuaki dio ngua; mi bule ayi mi kiti ki ki ntoto. Mintu mi ziphunda miba banga mintu mi zikhosi; mbazu yitotukila mu miunu miawu va kimosi ayi muisi ayi sufule.
18 By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
Mu bivuku mbazu, muisi ayi sufule bitotukila mu miunu mi ziphunda mu vondolo ndambu yimosi mu zindambu zitatu zi batu.
19 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.
Bila lulendo lu ziphunda luidi mu miunu miawu ayi mu minkila miawu. Minkila miawu midedikini banga zinioka, minkila miawu miba ayi mintu; mu miawu zieti vangila mbimbi.
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.
Vayi batu bankaka, bobo basiala, bobo basia vondo ko kuidi bivukubiobi, basia balula mavanga ko mu mavanga ma mioko miawu mu diambu babika zitisa ziphevi zimbimbi ayi bitumba binolo, bi palata, bitsongo, bi matadi ayi binti biobi bilendi buba ti mona, buba wa, buba diata.
21 They did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
Basia balula mavanga ko mu phondolo yi batu, mu mazi mawu, mu kitsuza kiawu, mu buivi buawu.
