Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel blew his trumpet. I watched a star fall from heaven to earth. He was given the key to the opening of the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
Anjelu ya mitano abetaki kelelo, mpe namonaki monzoto kokweya na mokili wuta na Lola. Fungola ya libulu ya monene mpe ya molili makasi epesamaki na monzoto yango. (Abyssos g12)
2 He opened the entrance to the Abyss, and smoke came up out of the Abyss like the smoke of a huge furnace. The sun and the atmosphere became dark because of the smoke from the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
Tango efungolaki libulu yango, milinga ebele emataki longwa kuna; ezalaki lokola milinga oyo ebimaka na fulu monene ya moto makasi, mpe eyindisaki moyi mpe mopepe. (Abyssos g12)
3 Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and they were given power like that possessed by scorpions.
Wuta na milinga yango, mankoko ebimaki, epanzanaki na mokili mpe epesamelaki bokonzi lokola oyo ya bakoto.
4 They were told not to harm the grass or any vegetation or any trees, only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Nzokande epesamelaki mitindo ete esala mabe te na matiti ya mokili to na nkona nyonso ya mobesu to na nzete nyonso, kasi esala mabe kaka na bato oyo bazangi kashe ya Nzambe na bambunzu na bango.
5 They were not allowed to kill, but they could torture these people for five months. The torture was like that of a scorpion when it stings someone.
Esengelaki konyokola bango basanza mitano, kasi esengelaki te koboma bango. Pasi oyo ezalaki kopesa ekokanaki na oyo moto ayokaka soki koto eswi ye.
6 During that time people will look for death, but won't find it; they will want to die, but death will run away from them!
Na basanza wana mitano, bato bakoluka kufa, kasi bakozwa yango te; bakolinga kokufa, kasi kufa ekokima bango.
7 The locusts looked like war-horses. They wore what seemed to be golden crowns on their heads, and their faces looked human.
Mankoko yango ezalaki lokola bampunda oyo babongisi mpo na etumba. Na mito na yango, ezalaki na biloko moko lokola mitole ya wolo, mpe bilongi na yango ezalaki lokola bilongi ya bato.
8 They had long hair like women and had teeth like lions.
Suki na yango ezalaki lokola suki ya basi, mpe minu na yango ezalaki lokola minu ya nkosi.
9 Their breastplates looked like they were made of iron, and the noise made by their wings sounded like many horses and chariots racing into battle.
Tolo na yango ezalaki lokola bibende oyo basoda balataka na tolo, mpe makelele ya mapapu na yango ezalaki lokola makelele ya bashar oyo bampunda ebele ezali kobenda mpo na etumba.
10 They had tails like scorpions, complete with stingers. They had the power to hurt people for five months with their tails.
Mikila na yango ezalaki na basonge lokola mikila ya bakoto, mpe nguya na yango ya konyokola bato basanza mitano ezalaki kati na mikila na yango.
11 Ruling over them as their king was the angel of the Abyss who is called Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek. (Abyssos g12)
Anjelu ya libulu ya monene mpe ya molili makasi nde azalaki mokonzi na yango. Kombo na ye, na lokota ya Ebre, « Abadoni; » mpe, na lokota ya Greki, « Apolioni. » (Abyssos g12)
12 The first Disaster is over, but there are still two more to come.
Tango pasi ya liboso elekaki, bapasi mosusu mibale elandaki.
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice come from the horns of the golden altar that stands in front of God
Anjelu ya motoba abetaki kelelo, mpe nayokaki mongongo moko kobima longwa na maseke minei ya etumbelo oyo basala na wolo, etumbelo oyo ezalaki liboso ya Nzambe.
14 speaking to the sixth angel that had the trumpet: “Release the four angels that are tied up beside the great River Euphrates.”
Mongongo yango ezalaki koloba na anjelu ya motoba oyo azalaki na kelelo na maboko: « Fungola ba-anjelu minei oyo bazali ya kokangama na minyololo pembeni ya ebale monene Efrate. »
15 The four angels who had been kept ready for this particular hour, day, month and year were released to kill one third of humanity.
Boye ba-anjelu wana minei oyo babongisamaki mpo na ngonga wana, mokolo wana, sanza wana mpe mobu wana, bafungolamaki mpo ete baboma eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bato.
16 I was told the number of the army of soldiers on horseback: it was 200 million.
Bazalaki minkoko nkama mibale ya basoda oyo babundaka na likolo ya bampunda. Yango nde motango na bango oyo nayokaki.
17 In my vision I saw the horses and their riders who wore breastplates as red as fire, and dark blue and yellow. The heads of the horses looked like lions, and fire and smoke and sulfur streamed out of their mouths.
Tala ndenge nini, kati na emoniseli na ngai, bampunda mpe basoda oyo babundaka na likolo na yango bazalaki: balataki bibende oyo basoda balataka mpo na kobatela tolo. Bibende yango ezalaki ya motane makasi lokola moto, ya langi ya bule ya pete mpe ya langi ya mosaka; bongo mito ya bampunda ezalaki lokola mito ya bankosi, mpe minoko na yango ezalaki kobimisa moto, milinga mpe sofolo.
18 One third of humanity was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and smoke and sulfur streaming out of their mouths.
Tala bapasi misato oyo ezalaki kobima na minoko ya bampunda: moto, milinga mpe sofolo. Ebomaki eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bato.
19 The horses' power was in their tails as well as their mouths, for their tails were like serpents' heads that they used to hurt people.
Nguya ya bampunda ezalaki kati na minoko mpe na mikila na yango, pamba te mikila na yango ezalaki lokola banyoka, mpe ezalaki na mito oyo, na nzela na yango, ezalaki kosala bato mabe.
20 But the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of what they were doing. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, and stone—which can't see or hear or walk!
Kasi bato oyo bakufaki te na nzela ya bapasi wana batikaki te banzambe oyo maboko na bango moko esalaki; batikaki te kogumbamela milimo mabe mpe banzambe ya bikeko oyo basala na wolo, na palata, na bronze, na mabanga mpe na mabaya atako emonaka te, eyokaka te mpe eninganaka te.
21 They did not repent of their murders, their witchcraft, their sexual sins, or their thefts.
Batikaki mpe te koboma bato, misala na bango ya maji, kindumba na bango mpe moyibi na bango.
