Okuswelulwa 9
1 Okumala Malaika wa katanu nabhuma linyawegona lyaye. Nindola injota okusoka Mulwile inu yaliga iguye ku chalo. Mbe injota eyo yayanilwe olufungulujo lwe lyobho linu elija mu lyobho linu litana bhutelo. (Abyssos g12)
Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a Star that had fallen upon the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
2 Negula elyobho linu litana bhutelo, ingesi nisokamo niilinya ingulu ilobhekene okusoka mulyobho lwa ingesi inu eisoka mu lyochelo enene. Lisubha na mulutumba nibhiinduka mubhibhi chisute kunsonga ya ingesi inu yasokele mulyobho. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Munda ya ingesi jinsige nijisokamo nijija ingulu ye chalo, bhene abho bhayanilwe amanaga lwa Inge Ilya inu ili ingulu ku Chalo.
Out of the smoke locusts descended upon the earth, and they received the same power as that possessed by scorpions.
4 Nijibhwilwa ati mwasiga kunyamula amabhabhi/amanyasi ga munsi amwi chiyambwa chona chona chinu chili chibhisi amwi liti, atali-la ku bhanu-ela bhanu bhatali na lunyamo lwa Nyamuanga ku bhisusu na kubhusu bhwebhwe.
They were told not to harm the grass, or any plant, or any tree, but only those who have not ‘the seal of God upon their foreheads.’
5 Bhatekilisibhwe okubheta abhanu abho, nawe okubhanyasha-la mesi gatanu. Obhusungu bhwebhwe bhwaliga bhuli lwa kutyo omunu kalumwa na inge.
Yet they were not allowed to kill them, but it was ordered that those men should be tortured for five months. Their torture was like the torture caused by a scorpion when it stings a man.
6 Mu nsiku ejo abhanu bhaliyenja olufu mbe nawe bhatalilubhona. Bhalyenda muno okufwa mbe nawe olufu lyona lulibhabhilima.
In those days men ‘will seek Death and will not find it’; They will long to die, but Death flees from them.
7 Jinsige jaliga nijisusana na jifalasi jinu jilabhilwe okuja mwilemo. ku mitwe jebwe chaliga chiliko echinu kuti lutenga lwa ijaabhu no bhusu bhwajo. bhaliga bhuli kuti bhwo mwana munu.
In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there were what appeared to be crowns that shone like gold, their faces resembled human faces,
8 Jaliga jili na jifwili kuti jabhagasi na meno gajo galiga kuti meno ya ntale.
and they had hair like the hair of a woman, their teeth were like lions’ teeth,
9 Jaliga jili ne bhifubha kuti bhifubha bhye chuma no bhulaka bhwa jimbabha jajo jaliga kuti bhulaka bhwa mamotoka mafu aga lilemo na lwa jifalasi jinu ejibhilima mwilemo.
and they had what seemed to be iron breastplates, while the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots drawn by many horses, galloping into battle.
10 Jaliga jili ne mikila jinu ejiluma kuti Inge; Ku mikila jajo jaliga jili na managa no kunyasha abhanu kwa mesi katanu.
They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and in their tails lies their power to harm men for five months.
11 Jaliga jili nage kuti mukama ingulu yebhwe Malaika we lyobho linu litana bhutelo. Lisina lyaye mu chiyebhulania ni Abhadoni, na mu chigiliki ana lisina lyaye Apolioni. (Abyssos g12)
They have as their king the Angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is ‘Abaddon,’ while, in Greek, his name is ‘Apollyon’ (the Destroyer). (Abyssos g12)
12 Inyako yo kwamba yatulile. Lola! Jikalabhao jinu Julio ejinde jinyako ebhili emo lufu ejija.
The first Woe has passed; and still there are two Woes to follow!
13 Malaika wa mukaga nabhuma linyawegona lyaye, na ninungwa obhulaka nibhusoka mwiyembe lye bhigabhilo bhya ijaabhu inu ili imbele ya Nyamuanga.
Then the sixth angel blew; and I heard a voice proceeding from the corners of the golden altar that stood before God.
14 Obhulaka nibhumubhwila Malaika wa mukaga unu aliga ali na linyawegona ati, “Nubhasige bhamalaika bhana bhanu bhabhoyelwe ku mugela omunene Efrata.”
It spoke to the sixth angel — the angel with the trumpet — and said ‘Let loose the four angels that are in chains at the great river Euphrates.’
15 Bhamalaika bhalya bhana bhanu bhaliga bhelabhiywe kwa isaa eyo inu ili ya bhusi-bhusi, olusiku olwo, no okwesi okwo, na omwaka ogwo, bhasigilwe kainju ka kakasatu aka bhana bhanu.
Then the four angels, that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
16 Obhukumi bhwa bhasilikale bhanu bhaliga bhalinyile ku falasi bhaliga 200,000,000. Ninungwa obhukumi bhwebhwe.
The number of the hosts of horsemen was ten thousand times ten thousand, twice told; I heard their number.
17 Nikwo kutyo nalolele Ifalasi mu bhilolo bhyani na bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhajilinyileko: Ebhifubha bhyebhwe bhyaliga bhimutuku ku mulilo, ibhululu inu iiye na imanjano one inu iiye. Emitwe ja jifalasi jasusene ne mitwe ja jintale, na muminwa jajo nigusokamo omulilo, ingesi na salfa.
And this is what the horses and their riders appeared to be like in my vision: — They had breastplates of fire, blood-red and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, while out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and sulphur.
18 Akainju aka abhana bhwo munu bhanu abho bhetilwe na mayano ganu gasatu: omulilo, ingesi na isalfa inu yasokele mu minwa jebhwe.
Through these three Curses a third of mankind perished — because of the fire, and the smoke, and the sulphur that issued from their mouths;
19 Kulwo kubha amanaga ga Ifalasi yaliga gali mu Kanwa kajo na ku mikila jebhwe- Kulwo kubha emikila jebhwe jaliga jili kuti njila, na bhaliga ne mitwe jinu jayanile abhanu amauta.
for the power of the horses lies in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, with heads, and it is with them that they do harm.
20 Abhanu bhanu bhasagile, bhaliya bhanu bhaliga bhachali kwitwa na amayano ganu, bhatatee kulwe bhikolwa bhyebhwe bhinu bhaliga mbakola, nolwo bhatasigile kulamya amasango ne bhisusano bhya jijaabhu, jifweja, ne jechuma, amabhui na mati - ku bhinu bhinu bhitakutula kulola, okungwa amwi okulibhata.
But those who were left of mankind, who had not perished through these Curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of ‘demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk’;
21 Nolwo bhatatee ingulu yo bhwiti bhwebhwe, no obhulosi bhwebhwe no bhulomesi bhwebhwe amwi mu njila jebhwe ejo bhwifi.
and they did not repent of their murders, or their sorceries, or their licentiousness, or their thefts.
