< 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 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, that stood before God; and seven trumpets were given to them.
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 at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to Him much incense, that He might present it with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar, which was 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 went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel, before God.
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 of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, 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, that had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound their trumpets.
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 angel sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast down upon the earth: and a third part of the trees and every green herb was burnt up.
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 I saw as it were a great mountain on fire cast into the sea, and 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 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 great star burning like a torch, and it fell upon a third part of the rivers, and the fountains of waters: and the name of the star is Wormwood;
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 a third part of the waters became as wormwood: and many men died of 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 a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day lost a third part of it's light, and the night likewise.
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 beheld, and heard an angel flying in the midst of heaven saying with a loud voice, Wo, wo, wo to the inhabitants on the earth from the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, that are yet to sound.
