< Revelation 8 >
1 As soon as the Lamb had broken the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for, it might be, half an hour.
Ningĩ rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ka mũgwanja-rĩ, kũu igũrũ gũgĩkirwo ki ihinda ta rĩa nuthu ithaa.
2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
Na niĩ ngĩona araika mũgwanja arĩa marũgamaga mbere ya Ngai, nao makĩheo tũrumbeta mũgwanja.
3 Next, another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer in his hand; and a great quantity of incense was given to him, to mingle with the prayers of all Christ’s people on the golden altar before the throne.
Nake mũraika ũngĩ, ũrĩa warĩ na rũgĩo rwa thahabu, agĩũka akĩrũgama kĩgongona-inĩ. Nake akĩheo ũbumba mũingĩ nĩgeetha aũrute igongona hamwe na mahooya ma arĩa othe aamũre hau igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona gĩa thahabu kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene.
4 The smoke of the incense ascended, with the prayers of Christ’s people, from the hand of the angel before God.
Nayo ndogo ya ũbumba ũcio, hamwe na mahooya ma andũ arĩa aamũre, ĩkĩambata mbere ya Ngai yumĩte guoko-inĩ kwa mũraika ũcio.
5 Then the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it down on the earth; and there followed peals of thunder, cries, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
Nake mũraika ũcio akĩoya rũgĩo rũu rwa thahabu, akĩrũiyũria mwaki kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ, akĩũikia thĩ; nakuo gũkĩgĩa ngwa, na marurumĩ, na heni, na gĩthingithia.
6 Then the seven angels holding the seven trumpets prepared to blow their blasts.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo araika arĩa mũgwanja maarĩ na tũrumbeta mũgwanja makĩĩhaarĩria gũtũhuha.
7 The first blew; and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it fell on the earth. A third part of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees, and every blade of grass.
Mũraika wa mbere akĩhuha karumbeta gake, nakuo gũkĩgĩa mbura ya mbembe na mwaki itukanĩte na thakame, nacio igĩikio thĩ. Nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩa thĩ gĩkĩhĩa, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa mĩtĩ ĩkĩhĩa, o na nyeki yothe nduru ĩkĩhĩa.
8 Then the second angel blew; and what appeared to be a great mountain, burning, was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea became blood,
Mũraika wa keerĩ nake akĩhuha karumbeta gake, nakĩo kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ta kĩrĩma kĩnene gĩakanaga mwaki-rĩ, gĩgĩikio thĩinĩ wa iria rĩrĩa inene. Nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa iria rĩu gĩgĩtuĩka thakame,
9 and a third part of all created things that are in the sea – that is, of all living things – died, and a third of the ships was destroyed.
na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩa ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo thĩinĩ wa iria rĩu igĩkua, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa marikabu ikĩanangwo.
10 Then the third angel blew; and there fell from the heavens a great star, burning like a torch. It fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs.
Nake mũraika wa gatatũ akĩhuha karumbeta gake, nayo njata nene mũno ĩkiuma igũrũ yakanĩte ta gĩcinga, ĩkĩgwĩra gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa njũũĩ na ithima cia maaĩ,
11 (The star is called “Wormwood.”) A third of the water became bitter as wormwood, and so bitter was the water that many died from drinking it.
narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩa njata ĩyo nĩ Kũrũra. Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa maaĩ macio gĩkĩrũra, na andũ aingĩ magĩkua nĩ kũnyua maaĩ macio marũrũ.
12 Then the fourth angel blew; and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were blasted, so that a third of them was eclipsed, and for a third part of the day there was no light, and at night it was the same.
Nake mũraika wa kana akĩhuha karumbeta gake, narĩo riũa rĩkĩringwo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ, o naguo mweri gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ, o na njata nacio gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ, tondũ ũcio gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩacio gĩgĩtuĩka nduma. Nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa mũthenya gĩkĩaga ũtheri, o na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa ũtukũ o taguo.
13 And, in my vision, I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven and crying in a loud voice – “Woe, woe, woe for all who live on the earth, at the other trumpet-blasts of the three angels who have yet to blow.”
O ndorete-rĩ, ngĩigua nderi yombũkaga rĩera-inĩ ĩkĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, ĩkoiga atĩrĩ: “Kaĩ kũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Kaĩ kũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Kaĩ inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga thĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ, tondũ wa tũrumbeta tũrĩa tũkirie kũhuhwo nĩ araika acio angĩ atatũ-ĩ!”
