< Revelation 6 >
1 I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
Nenywa omwanangole nahigula emihuri saba, nonvwa omo daahwehwomi wane ayanga hwizu lyalyalengene nashi olapuho ogwemvula “Enzaa!”
2 Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
Nenya paline fwalasi enzelu! Yapandile alinembakuli, wapata itaji. Afumile aje amenile yamena aje aamene.
3 When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
Owakati owo omwanangole nahigula omuhuri owa bhele, nonvwa owewomi owabhele ayanga, “Enzaa!”
4 Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
Nantele efalasi iyamwabho wafumila - oshamwamu nansiomwote. Yapende apete oruhusa yahwefwe owinza mnsi, aje abhantu bhabholanaje. Ono yapandile apete ipanga igosi.
5 When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
Omwanangole nahigula gula omuhuri owa tatu, nonvwa owomi owatatu ayanga, “Enzaa!” Nalola efalasi enjilu, yapandile ali nemizani mkhono gwakwe.
6 I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
Nonvwa esauti yehabhoneshe aje omo wabhala ebhe womi ayanga, “empimilo eyengano huhela emoo na humpinulo zitatu evye hela emoo. Lelo osanankanye amafutane vya mwele.”
7 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
Omwanangole nahiguye omuhuri ogwa uune, ehwonvwa esauti owe womi owaune ayanga, “Enzaa!”
8 This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs )
Nantele nalola efalasi envuvya yapende yakwiziwe itawa lyakwe yafwiye, na hwilongo walihulondozya. Bhapete amadalaka pamwanya apadodo epensi, abude nipanga, nenzala ne mpongo, na huhanu ezya mwisengo mnsi. (Hadēs )
9 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
Wakati omwanangole nahiguye omhuri ogwa sanu, ehaloli pansi pa madhabahu huroho zyabhala bhabahli bhabudilwe huvizu elyizu lya Ngolobhe nafumilane noshuhuda bhabhaukhete athibitizye.
10 They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
Bhalila hu sautu engosi, “paka ndii, Yatabhala ponti, ozelu owemwoyo nelyoli, obholonje bhabhakhala pamwanya ya pansi, awuzye ipanto elye danda lyetu?”
11 [God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
Nantele shila omo apete inkanzu izelu bhabhozyewa aje bhawanziwa agole hashe hata pebhaye embazyo yonti eyatumishi amwabho na aholo bhabho abheshishe na abheshilume pabhabhaye bhashele bhabhagogwe, nashibhala bhabhagojilwe.
12 I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] like blood.
Wakati omwanangole nahiguye omuhuri ogwa sita, nahenyizye palinitensya igosi. Isanya lyabha lilu nashi igunilaelyemenda amilu, omwezi gwabhanashi idanda.
13 The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
Entondwe ezya mwanya zyagwa paka pansi, nashi ikwi nalilagazya amadondo gakwe owakati wisasa nauyinzanyiwa ne nvulungwe.
14 The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
Emwanya ehipeli nashi ibangili lyalizyongozyewe. Kila ligamba ensinyomosu yamenze zya samiziwe pazyakheye.
15 [As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
Nantele amwene abhensi na bhantu akhaya nabhala asimamizi ebhibho, atajili, ebhe nguvu, na kila omo yali watumwe na mmwalaogwe magamba.
16 They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
Bhaga bhozya amagamba namiala, “Tigweleli! Tufisii humaso gakwe yakheye pitengo elyeshimwene afume hwilyoyo elyamwanangole.
17 This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
Afwatane isiku igosi elyelyoyo lyabho lipalamiye, hwenu yawezizye ahwemelelee?”
