Mkpughe 9
1 Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke ise ahụ fụrụ opi ike ya, ahụrụ m otu kpakpando si nʼeluigwe daa nʼala. E nyere ya ihe ọtụghe igodo nke e ji atụghe olulu nke Abis ahụ. (Abyssos g12)
AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss of hell. (Abyssos g12)
2 Mgbe o meghere olulu Abis ahụ, anwụrụ ọkụ dị ukwu sitere nʼime ya pụta dịka anwụrụ ọkụ si nʼọkụ icheku ọkụ ya dị ukwuu, mee ka oke ọchịchịrị kpuchie ihu anyanwụ na mbara eluigwe. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a vast furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Igurube sitere nʼanwụrụ ọkụ ahụ pụta fedakwasa ụwa. E nyekwara ha ike ịta mmadụ ọbụla dịka akpị si agba mmadụ.
And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, such power as the scorpions of the earth possess.
4 E nyere ha iwu si ha emebila ahịhịa ndụ ọbụla, maọbụ osisi na ihe ọbụla a kụrụ nʼala. Kama ọrụ ha bụ ịbịakwasị mmadụ ọbụla na-enweghị akara Chineke nʼegedege ihu ya.
And it was told them, Hurt not the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 Iwu e nyere ha abụghị ka ha gbuo ndị a, kama ọ bụ ka ha mekpaa ha ahụ ọnwa ise. Mmekpa ahụ ha dịka ahụ ụfụ na nhụju anya nke akpị mgbe ọ gbara mmadụ.
And it was given them in charge that they should not kill these men outright, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
6 Nʼime ụbọchị ndị ahụ, ọtụtụ mmadụ ga-achọ iji aka ha gbuo onwe ha ma ha agaghị enwe ike mee ya. Agụụ ịnwụ ọnwụ ga-agụ ha, ma ọnwụ ga-esi nʼebe ha nọ wezuga onwe ya.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall earnestly desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
7 Igurube ndị a nwere oyiyi dị ka ịnyịnya a kwadebere maka ibu agha. Ha nwere ihe yiri okpueze e ji ọlaedo kpụọ nʼisi ha. Ihu ha dịkwa ka ihu mmadụ.
And the figures of the locusts were like horses equipped for war; and upon their heads there were as crowns, like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 Agịrị isi ha dịka agịrị isi ụmụ nwanyị. Eze ha dịkwa ka eze ọdụm.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 Ha yikwasịrị onwe ha ihe ikpuchi obi dịka nke e ji igwe kpụọ. Nku ha na-eme mkpọtụ dị ka ụda nzọ ụkwụ ọtụtụ ịnyịnya nke ụgbọ agha na-esekpu na-abanye nʼọgbọ agha.
And they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was as the rumbling of chariots of many horses rushing to battle.
10 Ha nwere ọdụdụ dịka akpị. Ma ike niile e nyere ha bụ imerụ ndị mmadụ ahụ ọnwa ise site nʼike dị nʼọdụdụ ha.
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and they had power to hurt men five months.
11 Ha nwere mmụọ ozi nke Abis, onye na-achịkọta ha dịka eze. Aha ya nʼasụsụ Hibru bụ Abadọn, ma nʼasụsụ Griik ọ bụ Apolion. (Abyssos g12)
And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss of hell, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Appollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Ahụhụ nke mbụ agafeela, ebe ahụhụ abụọ ọzọ na-abịa nʼihu.
One woe is past; and, behold, there are coming yet two woes after these.
13 Mgbe mmụọ ozi nke isii fụrụ opi ike ya, anụrụ m olu sitere na mpi anọ ahụ dị nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ e jiri ọlaedo wuo, nke dị nʼihu ocheeze Chineke,
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a great voice from the four horns of the altar of gold which is before God,
14 na-agwa mmụọ ozi nke isii ahụ, nke ji opi ike okwu, “Tọpụ mmụọ ozi anọ ndị ahụ e kere agbụ nʼebe osimiri Yufretis dị.”
saying to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 A tọhapụrụ ndị mmụọ ozi anọ ahụ, ndị e jibu eji na njikere maka oge awa ahụ, na ụbọchị ahụ, na ọnwa ahụ, na afọ ahụ, iji gbuo otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke mmadụ.
And the four angels were loosed, who were ready at the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill the third part of mankind.
16 Ndị agha ahụ, ọnụọgụgụ ha bụ narị nde abụọ. Anụrụ m mgbe e kwuru ole ha dị.
And the number of the armies of cavalry was two myriads of myriads and I heard the number of them.
17 Nʼime ọhụ m, ahụrụ m ịnyịnya ha, hụkwa ndị nọkwasịrị ha nʼelu. Ndị nọ nʼelu ịnyịnya ndị a yi ihe ikpuchi obi nke ụfọdụ nʼime ha na-acha ọbara ọbara. Ụfọdụ na-acha dịka akpụkpọ eluigwe, ụfọdụ na-acha odo odo. Ụfọdụ na-acha dịka anwụrụ ọkụ. Isi ịnyịnya ha dịka isi ọdụm, anwụrụ ọkụ na ọkụ na nkume ọkụ sị ha nʼọnụ na-apụta.
And in this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who were mounted upon them, having breastplates of the colour of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the horses’ heads were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 E sitere nʼihe mmekpa ahụ ndị a, ire ọkụ, anwụrụ ọkụ na nkume ọkụ na-adịghị anyụ anyụ, ka ha ji gbuo otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke mmadụ niile bi nʼụwa.
By these three were slain the third part of mankind, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the sulphur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 Ike ịnyịnya ndị a dị nʼọnụ ha, na ọdụdụ ha. Ọdụdụ ha dị ka agwọ, nwee isi agwọ nke ha ji emerụ mmadụ ahụ.
For their powers are in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 Ma ndị fọdụrụ nʼetiti mmadụ, bụ ndị a na-egbughị site nʼihe ntaramahụhụ ọrịa ndị a, echegharịghị site nʼọrụ aka ha maọbụ ịkwụsị ife mmụọ ọjọọ ofufe. Ha jụkwara ịkwụsị ife arụsị ha niile nke ha ji ọlaedo na ọlaọcha na bronz na igwe na nkume na osisi kpụọ. Chi ndị na-apụghị ịhụ ụzọ, maọbụ ịnụ ihe, maọbụ ije ije.
And the residue of mankind, who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of wood, and of stone: which can neither see nor hear, nor walk:
21 Ha echegharịghị site nʼigbu mmadụ ha, maọbụ ụzọ mgbaasị ha, maọbụ ndụ ịkwa iko ha, na izu ohi ha pụta.
and they repented not of their murders, nor of their magical arts, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
