Revelation 6
1 After, I beheld whe the Lambe had opened one of the seales, and I heard one of the foure beastes say, as it were the noise of thunder, Come and see.
Kisha nikamwona Mwanakondoo anavunja mhuri mmojawapo wa ile mihuri saba. Nikasikia kimoja cha vile viumbe hai vinne kikisema kwa sauti kama ya ngurumo, “Njoo!”
2 Therefore I behelde, and loe, there was a white horse, and hee that sate on him, had a bowe, and a crowne was giuen vnto him, and he went forth conquering that he might ouercome.
Mimi nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwa na farasi mmoja mweupe hapo. Na mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na upinde, akapewa na taji. Basi, akatoka kama mshindi aendelee kushinda.
3 And when he had opened the seconde seale, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
Kisha, Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa pili. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa pili akisema, “Njoo!”
4 And there went out an other horse, that was red, and power was giuen to him that sate thereon, to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another, and there was giuen vnto him a great sword.
Nami nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mwingine hapo, mwekundu. Mpanda farasi wake alikabidhiwa jukumu la kuondoa amani duniani, watu wauane, akapewa upanga mkubwa.
5 And when hee had opened the thirde seale, I heard the thirde beast say, Come and see: Then I behelde, and loe, a blacke horse, and he that sate on him, had balances in his hand.
Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tatu. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa tatu akisema, “Njoo!” Nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, mweusi. Mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na vipimo viwili vya kupimia uzito mkononi mwake.
6 And I heard a voice in the mids of the foure beastes say, A measure of wheate for a penie, and three measures of barly for a peny, and oyle, and wine hurt thou not.
Nikasikia kitu kama sauti itokayo kwa vile viumbe hai vinne. Nayo ilisema, “Kibaba kimoja cha unga wa ngano wa kiasi cha fedha dinari moja, na vibaba vitatu vya shayiri kwa dinari moja. Lakini usiharibu mafuta wala divai!”
7 And when he had opened the fourth seale, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa nne. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa nne akisema, “Njoo!”
8 And I looked, and beholde, a pale horse, and his name that sate on him was Death, and Hell folowed after him, and power was giuen vnto them ouer the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sworde, and with hunger, and with death, and with beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
Nami nikatazama, na kumbe alikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, rangi yake kijivu. Na jina la mpanda farasi wake lilikuwa kifo, na Kuzimu alimfuata nyuma. Hao walipewa mamlaka juu ya robo moja ya dunia, wawaue watu kwa upanga, njaa, tauni na kwa wanyama wakali wa dunia. (Hadēs g86)
9 And when hee had opened the fifth seale, I sawe vnder the altar the soules of them, that were killed for the worde of God, and for the testimonie which they mainteined.
Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tano. Nikaona pale chini ya madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani roho za wale waliouawa kwa sababu ya ujumbe wa Mungu, na kwa sababu ya ushuhuda waliotoa.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Lord, which art holie and true! doest not thou iudge and auenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Basi, wakalia kwa sauti kubwa: “Ee Bwana, uliye mtakatifu na mwaminifu, mpaka lini utakawia kulipiza kisasi kwa wakazi wote wa dunia kwa ajili ya kuuawa kwetu?”
11 And long white robes were giuen vnto euery one, and it was saide vnto them, that they shoulde rest for a litle season vntill their fellow seruants, and their brethren that shoulde bee killed euen as they were, were fulfilled.
Wakapewa kila mmoja vazi refu jeupe, wakaambiwa wazidi kusubiri kwa muda mfupi, mpaka itakapotimia idadi ya watumishi wenzao na ndugu ambao watawaua kama wao wenyewe walivyouawa.
12 And I behelde when hee had opened the sixt seale, and loe, there was a great earthquake, and the sunne was as blacke as sackecloth of heare, and the moone was like blood.
Kisha nikatazama, na wakati Mwanakondoo alipouvunja mhuri wa sita, kukawa na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi; jua likawa jeusi kama gunia; mwezi wote ukawa mwekundu kama damu;
13 And the starres of heauen fell vnto the earth, as a figge tree casteth her greene figges when it is shaken of a mightie winde.
nazo nyota za mbingu zikaanguka juu ya ardhi kama matunda ya mtini yasiyokomaa yaangukavyo wakati mti wake unapotikiswa na upepo mkali.
14 And heauen departed away, as a scroule, when it is rolled, and euery mountaine and yle were mooued out of their places.
Anga likatoweka kama vile karatasi inavyokunjwakunjwa; milima yote na visima vyote vikaondolewa mahali pake.
15 And the Kinges of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chiefe captaines, and the mighty men, and euery bondman, and euery free man, hid themselues in dennes, and among the rockes of the mountaines,
Kisha wafalme wa duniani, wakuu, majemadari, matajiri, wenye nguvu, kila mtumwa na mtu huru, wakajificha mapangoni na kwenye majabali milimani.
16 And said to the mountaines and rocks, Fal on vs, and hide vs from the presence of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lambe.
Wakaiambia hiyo milima na hayo majabali, “Tuangukieni, mkatufiche mbali na yeye aketiye juu ya kiti cha enzi, na mbali na ghadhabu ya Mwanakondoo!
17 For the great day of his wrath is come, and who can stand?
Maana siku maalum ya ghadhabu yao imefika. Nani awezaye kuikabili?”
