Kũguũrĩrio 8
1 Ningĩ rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ka mũgwanja-rĩ, kũu igũrũ gũgĩkirwo ki ihinda ta rĩa nuthu ithaa.
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for around half an hour.
2 Na niĩ ngĩona araika mũgwanja arĩa marũgamaga mbere ya Ngai, nao makĩheo tũrumbeta mũgwanja.
I saw the seven angels that stand before God. They were given seven trumpets.
3 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.
Then another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a golden censer and he was given a large quantity of incense to add to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that stands in front of the throne.
4 Nayo ndogo ya ũbumba ũcio, hamwe na mahooya ma andũ arĩa aamũre, ĩkĩambata mbere ya Ngai yumĩte guoko-inĩ kwa mũraika ũcio.
The smoke of the incense rose together with the prayers of the saints before God from the hand of the angel.
5 Nake mũraika ũcio akĩoya rũgĩo rũu rwa thahabu, akĩrũiyũria mwaki kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ, akĩũikia thĩ; nakuo gũkĩgĩa ngwa, na marurumĩ, na heni, na gĩthingithia.
The angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it down upon the earth; there was the sound of thunder, with lightning flashes, and a terrible earthquake.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo araika arĩa mũgwanja maarĩ na tũrumbeta mũgwanja makĩĩhaarĩria gũtũhuha.
Then the seven angels holding the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.
7 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.
The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire mixed with blood rained down on the earth. One third of the earth was burned up, one third of the trees were burned up and all the green grass was burned up.
8 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,
The second angel blew his trumpet. Something looking like a huge mountain of flaming fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea turned to blood,
9 na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩa ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo thĩinĩ wa iria rĩu igĩkua, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa marikabu ikĩanangwo.
and one third of the creatures that lived in the sea died, and one third of all ships were destroyed.
10 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,
The third angel blew his trumpet. A great star fell from heaven, blazing brightly. It fell on a third of the rivers and springs of water.
11 narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩa njata ĩyo nĩ Kũrũra. Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa maaĩ macio gĩkĩrũra, na andũ aingĩ magĩkua nĩ kũnyua maaĩ macio marũrũ.
The name of the star is Wormwood, and one third of the water turned bitter, and many people died from drinking the water because it had become poisonous.
12 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.
The fourth angel blew his trumpet. One third of the sun, moon, and stars were struck so a third of them would be darkened, and a third part of the day would not give light, similarly the night.
13 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!”
I saw and heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, shouting loudly, “Disaster, disaster, disaster is coming to those who live on the earth because of what is going to happen when the three remaining angels blow their trumpets.”
