< Revelation 6 >

1 Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a thunderous voice, “Come!”
Ningĩ nĩndonire ũcio Gatũrũme akĩmethũra gatembe ka mbere ga tũtembe tũrĩa mũgwanja twa mũhũra. Ngĩcooka ngĩigua kĩũmbe kĩmwe gĩa ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo gĩkiuga na mũgambo wagambaga ta marurumĩ atĩrĩ, “Ũka!”
2 So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.
Na niĩ ngĩrora, ngĩona mbarathi njerũ hau mbere yakwa! Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte aanyiitĩte ũta, nake akĩheo thũmbĩ, akiumĩra atariĩ ta mũtoorania werekeire o gũtoorania.
3 And when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
Rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ga keerĩ, ngĩigua kĩũmbe kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo gĩa keerĩ kĩoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũka!”
4 Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword.
Ningĩ gũkiumĩra mbarathi ĩngĩ, nayo yarĩ ndune mũno. Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte nĩaheetwo ũhoti wa kũniina thayũ kuuma thĩ, na atũme andũ mooragane. Nake akĩheo rũhiũ rwa njora rũnene.
5 And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.
Ningĩ rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ga gatatũ, ngĩigua kĩũmbe kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo gĩa gatatũ kĩoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũka!” Na niĩ ngĩrora, ngĩona mbarathi njirũ hau mbere yakwa! Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte aanyiitĩte ratiri na guoko gwake.
6 And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”
Ningĩ ngĩigua kĩndũ kĩarurumire ta mũgambo ũkuuma gatagatĩ-inĩ ga ciũmbe icio inya irĩ muoyo, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩbaba kĩa ngano kiumage mũcaara wa mũthenya ũmwe, na ibaba ithatũ cia ngano ya cairi ciumage mũcara wa mũthenya ũmwe, no ndũgathũkie maguta kana ũthũkie ndibei!”
7 And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
Ningĩ rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ga kana-rĩ, ngĩigua mũgambo wa kĩũmbe kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo gĩa kana woiga atĩrĩ, “Ũka!”
8 Then I looked and saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
Na niĩ ngĩrora, ngĩona mbarathi theũku hau mbere yakwa! Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte-rĩ, eetagwo Gĩkuũ, nake Jehanamu aamumĩte thuutha, amũkuhĩrĩirie. Nao makĩheo ũhoti wa gwatha gĩcunjĩ kĩa inya gĩa thĩ, nĩguo mooragane na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro, o na ningĩ nyamũ iria ndĩani cia gĩthaka. (Hadēs g86)
9 And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld.
Ningĩ aamethũra gatembe ga gatano-rĩ, ngĩona hau rungu rwa kĩgongona maroho ma andũ arĩa mooragĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ngai, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũira ũrĩa maagwatĩirie.
10 And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You avenge our blood and judge those who dwell upon the earth?”
Nao magĩkaya na mũgambo mũnene, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, Wee mũtheru na wa ma, ũgũikara nginya rĩ ũtatuĩrĩire atũũri a thĩ ciira nĩguo ũrĩhĩrie thakame iitũ?”
11 Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.
Nao makĩheo o mũndũ nguo ndaaya ya rangi mwerũ, na makĩĩrwo meterere hanini, nginya mũigana wa ndungata iria maarutithanagia wĩra nacio ũhinge, na nĩo ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa maarĩ mooragwo o ta ũrĩa o mooragirwo.
12 And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red,
Ningĩ ngĩrora na ngĩona aamethũra gatembe ga gatandatũ. Nakuo gũkĩgĩa na gĩthingithia kĩnene. Narĩo riũa rĩkĩgarũrũka, rĩkĩira ta nguo ya ikũnia ĩtumĩtwo na guoya wa mbũri, naguo mweri wothe ũkĩgarũrũka, ũgĩtunĩha ta thakame,
13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.
nacio njata cia igũrũ ikĩgũa thĩ, o ta ũrĩa ngũyũ iria thaatu ciitĩkaga kuuma mũkũyũ-inĩ rĩrĩa wainainio nĩ rũhuho rũnene.
14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
Narĩo igũrũ rĩkĩeherio o ta ũrĩa ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩkũnjagwo, nacio irĩma ciothe na icigĩrĩra ikĩeherio ikiuma kũndũ gwacio.
15 Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
Nao athamaki a thĩ, na anene, na anene a thigari, na itonga, na andũ arĩa marĩ hinya, na ngombo ciothe, na andũ arĩa othe eyathi, makĩĩhitha ngurunga-inĩ, na gatagatĩ ka ndwaro cia mahiga ma irĩma.
16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
Nao nĩmeeraga irĩma na ndwaro cia mahiga atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩrei, mũtũhithe twehere ũthiũ-inĩ wa ũcio ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na kuuma kũrĩ mangʼũrĩ ma Gatũrũme!
17 For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũrĩa mũnene wa mangʼũrĩ mao nĩmũkinyu, nake nũũ ũngĩhota kũwĩtiiria?”
