Mkpughe 8
1 Mgbe o meghere akara nke asaa, akụkụ niile nke eluigwe dara jụụ ruo ihe dị ka iri nkeji atọ.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, for about half an hour.
2 Ahụrụ m ndị mmụọ ozi asaa, ndị na-eguzo nʼihu Chineke. E nyere ha opi ike nʼotu nʼotu.
And I saw the seven angels, who stood before God; and to them were given, seven trumpets.
3 Mmụọ ozi ọzọ nke ji ite igwe ntakịrị e ji ọlaedo kpụọ bịara guzo nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja. E nyere ya ọtụtụ ụda na-esi isi ụtọ ka o jiri chụọ aja, ya na ekpere ndị nsọ niile, nʼebe ịchụ aja e jiri ọlaedo wuo, nʼihu ocheeze ahụ.
And another angel came and stood by the altar; and he held a golden censer: and much incense was given him, so that he might offer, with the prayers of all the saints, upon the golden altar before the throne.
4 Anwụrụ ọkụ nke ihe ahụ na-esi isi ụtọ, ya na ekpere ndị nsọ sitere nʼaka mmụọ ozi ahụ rigoo elu nʼihu Chineke.
And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints went up before God from the hand of the angel.
5 Mgbe ahụ kwa, mmụọ ozi ahụ weere ọkụ sitere nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ tinye ya nʼime ite igwe ntakịrị ahụ, tụda ya, ka ọ danye nʼime ụwa. Mgbe o mere nke a, ụzụ egbe eluigwe dara, amụma gbukwara nʼụzọ dị oke egwu. Ala ọma jijiji dakwasịkwara ebe niile nʼụwa.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire from the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were thunders, and lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ndị mmụọ ozi asaa ahụ ndị ji opi asaa ahụ jikeere onwe ha ịfụ opi ike ahụ.
And the seven angels, who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound.
7 Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke mbụ fụrụ opi ike ya, a tụdara mkpụrụ mmiri na ọkụ a gwakọtara ya na ọbara nʼime ụwa. Nke a mere ka otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke osisi rechapụrụ ọkụ, e rechapụkwara ahịhịa ndụ niile ọkụ.
And the first sounded; and there was hail, and fire, which were mingled with water: and these were thrown upon the earth; and a third part of the earth was burned up, and a third part of the trees were burned, and all green grass was burned.
8 Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke abụọ fụkwara opi ike ya, a tụdara ihe yiri ugwu dị ukwuu na-enwu ọkụ nʼime osimiri. Nke a mere ka otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere osimiri niile chagharịa ghọọ ọbara.
And the second angel sounded, and, as it were a great mountain burning with fire, was cast into the sea; and also a third part of the sea became blood.
9 Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke ihe niile dị ndụ dị nʼime osimiri nwụrụ. Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere ụgbọ mmiri niile dị nʼelu osimiri lara nʼiyi.
And a third part of all the creatures in the sea, that had life, died; and a third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke atọ fụrụ opi ike ya, otu kpakpando dịkarịsịrị ukwuu nke na-enwu dị ka ọwaọkụ sitere na mbara eluigwe danye nʼime otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere iyi niile na isi iyi niile.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a star, burning like a lamp; and it fell upon a third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of water.
11 Aha kpakpando ahụ bụ Ilu ilu. Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke mmiri malitere ilu ilu, ọtụtụ mmadụ nwụrụ nʼihi mmiri a na-elu ilu.
And the name of the star was called Wormwood; and a third part of the waters became wormwood; and many persons died from the waters, because they were bitter.
12 Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke anọ fụrụ opi ike ya, e mere ka otu akụkụ nʼime akụkụ atọ e kere anyanwụ gbaa ọchịchịrị. Otu a kwa, otu akụkụ nʼime akụkụ atọ e kere ọnwa gbara ọchịchịrị. Ya na otu akụkụ nʼime atọ e kere kpakpando niile. Nke a mere ka anyanwụ hapụ inyekwa ìhè ya nʼuju dịka o si eme na mbụ. Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ e kere ehihie ghọkwara oke ọchịchịrị, ọ dịkwa otu a nʼoge anyasị.
And the fourth angel sounded, and a third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them were dark, and they became dark; and the day did not give light for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.
13 Elere m anya, hụ ma nụkwa otu ugo ka ọ na-efegharị nʼetiti mbara eluigwe na-eti mkpu nʼolu ike na-asị, “Ahụhụ! Ahụhụ! Ahụhụ dịrị mmadụ niile bi nʼụwa nʼihi ụda opi ike nke ndị mmụọ ozi atọ ndị a ga-afụ.”
And I saw and heard an eagle, which flew in the midst, and it had a tail of blood, while it said, with a loud voice: Woe, woe, to them who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining sounds of the trumpets of the three angels, who are to sound.
