Revelation 9
1 Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a star that had fallen on the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of 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 He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from 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 Out of the smoke locusts descended on the earth, and they received the same power as that possessed by scorpions.
Na thĩinĩ wa ndogo ĩyo gũkiuma ngigĩ, igĩũka thĩ, nacio ikĩheo ũhoti ũtariĩ ta wa tũngʼaurũ twa thĩ.
4 They were told not to harm the grass, or any plant, or 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 allowed to kill them, but it was ordered that those men should be tortured for five months. Their torture was like the torture caused by a scorpion when it stings a person.
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 people will seek Death and will not find it; They will long to die, but Death flees from them.
Matukũ-inĩ macio andũ nĩmagacaragia gĩkuũ, no matigakĩona; nĩmakeriragĩria gũkua, nakĩo gĩkuũ gĩkamoorĩra.
7 In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there were what appeared to be crowns that shone like gold, their faces resembled human 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 a woman, their teeth were like lions’ teeth,
Njuĩrĩ yacio yahaanaga ta njuĩrĩ cia andũ-a-nja, namo magego maacio maatariĩ ta magego ma mũrũũthi.
9 and they had what seemed to be iron breastplates, while the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots drawn by many horses, galloping 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 They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and in their tails lies their power to harm people for five months.
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 as their king the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is ‘Abaddon,’ while, in Greek, his name is ‘Apollyon’ (the Destroyer). (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; and I heard a voice proceeding from the corners of the golden altar that stood 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 It spoke to the sixth angel – the angel with the trumpet – and said ‘Let loose the four angels that are in chains 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 cavalry was ten thousand times ten thousand, twice told; I heard their number.
Nacio mbũtũ cia mbaara iria ciahaicĩte mbarathi mũigana wacio warĩ milioni magana meerĩ. Nĩndaiguire mũigana wacio.
17 And this is what the horses and their riders appeared to be like in my vision: They had breastplates of fire, blood-red and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, while out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and sulfur.
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 Through these three curses a third of humanity perished – because of the fire, and the smoke, and the sulfur that 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 lies in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, with heads, and it is with them that they do harm.
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 But those who were left of humanity, who had not perished through these curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or 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, or their sorceries, or their licentiousness, or 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.
