Revelation 9
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
Malaika wa tano akaipiga tarumbeta yake, nami nikaona nyota iliyokuwa imeanguka toka angani hadi ardhini. Nyota hiyo ilipewa ufunguo wa lile Shimo. (Abyssos g12)
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
Alipolifungua hilo Shimo, moshi ukapanda kutoka humo kama moshi wa tanuru kubwa sana. Jua na anga vikatiwa giza na ule moshi uliotoka katika hilo Shimo. (Abyssos g12)
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Ndipo katika ule moshi wakatoka nzige wakaenda juu ya nchi, nao wakapewa nguvu kama zile za nge wa duniani.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Wakaambiwa wasidhuru nyasi ya nchi, wala mmea wala mti wowote, bali wawadhuru tu wale watu ambao hawana muhuri wa Mungu kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
Wakaruhusiwa kuwatesa kwa muda wa miezi mitano, lakini wasiwaue. Uchungu wa kuuma kwao ulikuwa kama ule wa mtu aumwapo na nge.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Katika siku hizo watu watatafuta kifo lakini hawatakiona, watatamani kufa, lakini kifo kitawakimbia.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Wale nzige walikuwa na umbo kama la farasi waliotayarishwa kwa ajili ya vita. Kwenye vichwa vyao kulikuwa na kitu kama taji za dhahabu na nyuso zao zilikuwa kama za binadamu.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Walikuwa na nywele kama za wanawake, na meno yao yalikuwa kama ya simba.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Walikuwa na dirii kama za chuma, na sauti za mabawa yao zilikuwa kama ngurumo za farasi wengi na magari mengi yakikimbilia vitani.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Walikuwa na mikia yenye miiba ya kuumia kama nge. Nguvu yao ya kutesa watu kwa huo muda wa miezi mitano ilikuwa katika hiyo mikia yao.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue has his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
Walikuwa na mfalme wao, ambaye ni malaika wa lile Shimo, ambaye jina lake kwa Kiebrania ni Abadoni, na kwa Kiyunani ni Apolioni. (Abyssos g12)
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Ole ya kwanza imepita, bado nyingine mbili zinakuja.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Malaika wa sita akaipiga tarumbeta yake, nami nikasikia sauti ikitoka katika zile pembe za madhabahu ya dhahabu iliyoko mbele za Mungu.
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Ile sauti ikamwambia yule malaika wa sita mwenye tarumbeta, “Wafungulie wale malaika wanne waliofungwa kwenye ule mto mkubwa Frati.”
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, in order to slay the third part of men.
Basi wale malaika wanne, waliokuwa wamewekwa tayari kwa ajili ya saa hiyo, na siku hiyo, na mwezi huo, na mwaka huo ili wawaue theluthi ya wanadamu wakafunguliwa.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Idadi ya majeshi wapanda farasi ilikuwa 200,000,000. Nilisikia idadi yao.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Hivi ndivyo nilivyowaona hao farasi na wapanda farasi katika maono yangu: Wapanda farasi walivaa dirii vifuani zenye rangi nyekundu sana kama ya moto na yakuti samawi na kiberiti. Vichwa vya hao farasi vilikuwa kama vichwa vya simba, na moto, moshi na kiberiti vilitoka vinywani mwao.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Theluthi ya wanadamu wakauawa kwa mapigo hayo matatu, yaani, huo moto, moshi na kiberiti, vilivyotoka kwenye vinywa vya hao farasi.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Nguvu za hao farasi zilikuwa katika vinywa vyao na kwenye mikia yao, kwa sababu mikia yao ilikuwa kama nyoka, yenye vichwa ambayo waliitumia kudhuru.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Wanadamu waliosalia, ambao hawakuuawa katika mapigo hayo, bado walikataa kutubia kazi za mikono yao na hawakuacha kuabudu mashetani na sanamu za dhahabu, za fedha, za shaba, za mawe na za miti, ambazo haziwezi kuona, kusikia wala kutembea.
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Wala hawakutubu na kuacha matendo yao ya uuaji, uchawi, uasherati wala wizi wao.
