< Revelation 9 >

1 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven upon the earth; and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
Nake mũraika wa gatano akĩhuha karumbeta gake, na niĩ ngĩona njata yumĩte igũrũ ĩkagũa thĩ. Nayo njata ĩyo ĩkĩnengerwo cabi ya Irima-rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi. (Abyssos g12)
2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and out of the pit there went up a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air grew dark, because of the smoke out of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aahingũrire Irima-rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi-rĩ, rĩkiuma ndogo yahaanaga ta ndogo ya icua inene. Narĩo riũa na matu igĩĩkĩrwo nduma nĩ ndogo ĩyo yoimaga Irima-rĩu-rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi. (Abyssos g12)
3 And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth; they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth.
Na thĩinĩ wa ndogo ĩyo gũkiuma ngigĩ, igĩũka thĩ, nacio ikĩheo ũhoti ũtariĩ ta wa tũngʼaurũ twa thĩ.
4 They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any plant, nor any tree, but only those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
Nacio ikĩĩrwo itikeehie nyeki ya thĩ, kana mũmera o wothe o na kana mũtĩ, o tiga andũ arĩa matarĩ na rũũri rwa Ngai ithiithi ciao.
5 Yet they were not permitted to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.
Nacio ikĩaga kũheo ũhoti wa kũmooraga, o tiga wa kũmaherithia mĩeri ĩtano. Naruo ruo rũrĩa maiguire rwarĩ o ta ruo rwa kangʼaurũ karathĩte mũndũ.
6 In those days men will seek death, and will not find it; they will long to die, but death ever flees from them.
Matukũ-inĩ macio andũ nĩmagacaragia gĩkuũ, no matigakĩona; nĩmakeriragĩria gũkua, nakĩo gĩkuũ gĩkamoorĩra.
7 The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there was something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like men’s faces,
Ngigĩ icio ciahaanaga ta mbarathi ihaarĩirio nĩ ũndũ wa mbaara. Mĩtwe-inĩ yacio ciarĩ na kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ta thũmbĩ cia thahabu, namo mothiũ maacio maahaanaga ta mothiũ ma andũ.
8 and they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lion’s teeth,
Njuĩrĩ yacio yahaanaga ta njuĩrĩ cia andũ-a-nja, namo magego maacio maatariĩ ta magego ma mũrũũthi.
9 and they had breastplates something like breastplates of iron; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots, of many horses rushing into battle.
Nacio ciarĩ na ngo cia kũgitĩra gĩthũri ciahaanaga ta ngo cia kĩgera, naguo mũgambo wa mathagu maacio warĩ ta mũrurumo wa mbarathi nyingĩ na ngaari cia ita itengʼerete irorete mbaara-inĩ
10 And they have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to torture men five months was in their tails.
Ciarĩ na mĩtingʼoe, o na mboora ta cia tũngʼaurũ, na mĩtingʼoe-inĩ yacio ciarĩ na ũhoti wa kũnyariira andũ ihinda rĩa mĩeri ĩtano.
11 They have a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon; in Greek he is called Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
Na nĩ ciarĩ na mũthamaki waciathaga, na nĩwe mũraika wa Irima-rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake na rũthiomi rwa Kĩhibirania nĩ Abadoni, ningĩ na Kĩyunani agetwo Apolioni. (Abyssos g12)
12 "The first woe has passed; and still there are two woes to follow."
Haaro ya mbere nĩyathira; haatigara ingĩ igĩrĩ iria igũũka thuutha.
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Mũraika wa gatandatũ nake akĩhuha karumbeta gake, na niĩ ngĩigua mũgambo ũkiuma hĩa-inĩ cia kĩgongona gĩa thahabu kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya Ngai.
14 one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, "Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates."
Ũkĩĩra mũraika ũcio wa gatandatũ warĩ na karumbeta atĩrĩ, “Ohora araika arĩa ana arĩa moheirwo rũũĩ-inĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Farati.”
15 Then the four angels that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
Nao araika acio ana, arĩa maathagathagĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa ihinda rĩu, na nĩ ũndũ wa mũthenya ũcio o na nĩ ũndũ wa mweri ũcio, o na mwaka ũcio makĩohorwo nĩguo moorage andũ gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ gũkũ thĩ.
16 The number of the hosts of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number;
Nacio mbũtũ cia mbaara iria ciahaicĩte mbarathi mũigana wacio warĩ milioni magana meerĩ. Nĩndaiguire mũigana wacio.
17 and thus I saw the horses in the vision and their riders. They had breastplates of fire, "red as fire, dark blue as jacinth, and yellow as sulphur." The heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Mbarathi icio ndonire na kĩoneki hamwe na arĩa macihaicĩte-rĩ, ciahaanaga atĩrĩ: Ngo ciacio cia kũgitĩra gĩthũri ciarĩ cia rangi mũtune ta mwaki, na rangi wa bururu, na rangi wa ngoikoni ũhaana ta ũbiriti. Ciongo cia mbarathi icio ciahaanaga ta ciongo cia mĩrũũthi, natuo tũnua twacio twoimaga mwaki, na ndogo, o na ũbiriti.
18 By these three plagues a third of mankind were killed; by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which issued from their mouths.
Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ a gũkũ thĩ nĩkĩoragirwo nĩ mĩthiro ĩyo ĩtatũ ya mwaki, na ndogo, na ũbiriti iria cioimaga tũnua-inĩ twacio.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents with heads, and with them they work woe.
Hinya wa mbarathi icio warĩ tũnua-inĩ twacio na mĩtingʼoe-inĩ yacio, nĩgũkorwo mĩtingʼoe yacio yahaanaga ta nyoka ĩrĩ na ciongo iria itihagia andũ nacio.
20 And the rest of mankind who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They would not give up the worship of demons and of idols made of gold and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
Andũ a thĩ acio angĩ, arĩa matooragirwo nĩ mĩthiro ĩyo, matiigana kwĩrira mehia ma wĩra wa moko mao; matiigana gũtiga kũhooya ndaimono, na mĩhianano ya thahabu, na ya betha, na ya gĩcango, na ya mahiga, na ya mĩtĩ, o mĩhianano ĩrĩa ĩtangĩhota kuona, kana ĩigue, kana ĩĩtware.
21 And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts.
O na ningĩ matiigana kwĩrira nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma ũragani wao, kana ũrogi wao, kana ũmaraya wao, o na kana ũici wao.
