< Revelation 9 >
1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos )
Neye mungelo wa cisanu walalilisha tolompita yakendi. Ndalabona lunyenyenshi lwalesa kuwila panshi, kayi lwalapewa cakucalwisha ku cisengu citali. (Abyssos )
2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos )
Lunyenyenshi lusa mpolwalacalula ku cisengu, mwalapula bwishi bulyeti bwishi bwa bufuni bunene, lisuba ne mwilu byonse byalashipa cebo ca bwishi bwalafuma mu cisengu. (Abyssos )
3 Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Mubwishi mwalapula bisoshi byalesula cishi conse ca panshi, kayi byalapewa ngofu shilyeti shikute nkalang'ongo.
4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God's seal on their foreheads.
Bisoshi ibyo balabyambileti, kabitononga mila, nambi bitondo nambi mumena uli wonse, nsombi bantu babula cishibisho ca Lesa cadindwa pa nkumo shabo.
5 They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.
Ibi bisoshi nkabyalasuminishiwa kushina bantu, nsombi kubapensha kwa myenshi isanu. Bululu bwa kupenshewa uko kwalikubeti bululu bwa kulumwa kwa nkalang'ongo.
6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
Mukati mwa myenshi isanu iyo bantu nibakalangaule cela kubashina, nsombi nteti cikacanike sobwe. Nibakayande kufwa, nsombi nalo lufu nilukabafwambe.
7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.
Bisoshi byalikuboneketi mahaki alibambila nkondo, pa mitwi yabyo palikuba byalikuboneketi ngowani sha golide, kayi kucinso byalikuboneketi cinso ca muntu.
8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
Byalikukute mishishi ilyeti ya batukashi, meno abyo alikubeti meno a nkalamu.
9 They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.
Byali byabyo byali cinjilishiwa ne bintu byalikuboneketi byela byali kusebenseshewa pa nkondo, kulila kwa mapepe akendi kwalikubeti mang'ola angi alakwelewanga ne mahaki alafwambilinga ku nkondo.
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.
Mu micila ya bisoshibyo emwalikuba bululu bulyeti bwa nkalang'ongo, micila yabyo eyalikukute ngofu ya kupensha bantu kwa myenshi isanu.
11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon." (Abyssos )
Bikute mwami ukute kubyendelesha, uyu emungelo ukute ngofu pa cisengu citali. Mu Cihebeli lina lyakendi ni Abadoni, mu Cigiliki lina lyakendi ni Apolyoni. Lilapandululungeti, “Shikushina.” (Abyssos )
12 The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.
Malele akutanguna alapiti, nomba kayi kulashala malele abili alesanga.
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Lino mungelo wa cisanu ne umo neye walalilisha tolompita yakendi. Ndalanyumfwa maswi kufuma ku mbasu shina sha nteme ya golide yalikuba pantangu pa Lesa.
14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
Awo maswi alikwambila mungelo wa cisanu ne umo walikukute tolompita kambeti, “Sungulula bangelo bana basungwa pa mulonga unene wa Filate!”
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of humanity.
Neye mungelo wacisanu ne umo walabasungulula basa bangelo bana, kwambeti benga bashine mbasu shitatu sha bantu bonse. Abo bangelo, Lesa walababambila ola, busuba, mwenshi kayi ne caka cakwinseco.
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
Kayi walang'ambila cibelengelo ca makoto abashilikali batanta pa mahaki ankondo ali myanda ibili ya bina.
17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
Mu cimboni mboni, ndalabona mahaki ne batantapo balikuba bafwala byakulicingilisha bya cela byafubeleti mulilo, ne bya shipuluka kayi ne byakateshi eti sulufule. Mitwi ya mahaki yalikubeti mitwi ya nkalamu, mulilo ne bwishi kayi byalikufuma mu milomo.
18 By these three plagues were one third of humanity killed: from the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
Mbasu shitatu sha mushobo wa bantu shalafwa ku malwashi atatu, awa ni mulilo ne bwishi kayi ne sulufule, byalikufuma mu milomo ya mahaki.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.
Pakwinga ngofu sha mahaki awa, shalikuba mu milomo kayi ne mu micila yasho. micila yasho yalikubeti mitwi ya njoka kwambeti ipenshe bantu.
20 The rest of humanity, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
Bantu balashala balabula kufwa ku malwashi awa, baliya kuleka kwinsa byaipa byakukambilila bintu mbyebalabamba ne makasa abo. Baliya kuleka kukambilila mishimu yaipa, tumbwanga twa golide, twasilifa ne twamukuba ne twamabwe kayi ne twabitondo. Utu tonse nkatubono, nkatunyumfu nambi kwenda.
21 They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
Bantu aba baliya kulapa bwipishi bwakushinana umo ne munendi, nambi kuleka buloshi, nambi kuleka bufule butambiki, nambi bukabwalala.
