Emoniseli 6
1 Bongo namonaki Mpate kobuka ekangelo ya liboso kati na bikangelo sambo; mpe nayokaki moko kati na bikelamu minei ya bomoi koloba na mongongo makasi lokola kake: « Yaka! »
And I saw when the Lamb undid one of the stamps, and the voice of one of the four beasts came to my ears, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.
2 Natalaki mpe namonaki liboso na ngai mpunda moko ya pembe. Motambolisi na yango asimbaki tolotolo. Bapesaki ye motole, bongo abimaki lokola molongi mpe mpo ete azala molongi.
And I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it had a bow; and there was given to him a crown: and he went out with power to overcome.
3 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya mibale, nayokaki ekelamu ya mibale ya bomoi koloba: « Yaka! »
And when the second stamp was undone, the voice of the second beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.
4 Bongo mpunda mosusu ebimaki: ezalaki ya motane makasi. Motambolisi na yango apesamelaki nguya ya kolongola kimia na mokili mpe ya kosala ete bato babomana bango na bango. Mpe bapesaki ye lisusu mopanga moko ya monene.
And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword.
5 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya misato, nayokaki ekelamu ya bomoi ya misato koloba: « Yaka! » Mpe namonaki liboso na ngai mpunda moko ya mwindo. Motambolisi na yango asimbaki na loboko na ye emekelo kilo.
And when the third stamp was undone, the voice of the third beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. And I saw a black horse; and he who was seated on it had scales in his hand.
6 Bongo nayokaki lokola mongongo moko kobima kati na bikelamu minei ya bomoi; ezalaki koloba: « Kopo moko ya ble mpo na mbongo moko ya ebende, mpe bakopo misato ya orje mpo na mbongo moko ya ebende. Kasi kobebisa mafuta mpe vino te. »
And a voice came to my ears, from the middle of the four beasts, saying, A measure of grain for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny: and see that you do no damage to the oil and the wine.
7 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya minei, nayokaki mongongo ya ekelamu ya minei ya bomoi koloba: « Yaka! »
And when the fourth stamp was undone, the voice of the fourth beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.
8 Namonaki liboso na ngai mpunda moko ya langi ya mayi ya pondu; kombo ya motambolisi na yango ezalaki « Kufa, » mpe mboka ya bakufi ezalaki kolanda motambolisi yango na sima. Bapesamelaki nguya ya koboma bato na nzela ya mopanga, ya nzala, ya bokono mpe ya banyama mabe, na etando ya eteni moko kati na biteni minei ya mokili. (Hadēs g86)
And I saw a grey horse, and the name of him who was seated on it was Death; and Hell came after him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to put to destruction by the sword, and by taking away their food, and by death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya mitano, namonaki na se ya etumbelo, milimo ya bato oyo baboma likolo na Liloba na Nzambe mpe likolo na litatoli na bango.
And when the fifth stamp was undone, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for the word of God, and for the witness which they kept.
10 Bagangaki na mongongo makasi: « Nkolo Nzambe, Yo oyo ozali Bule mpe Solo, okozela kino tango nini mpo na kosambisa bavandi ya mokili mpe kopesa bango etumbu mpo na makila na biso? »
And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?
11 Bongo bapesaki na moko na moko kati na bango nzambala ya pembe, mpe bayebisaki bango ete bazela moke kino motango ekokoka: motango ya baninga na bango ya mosala, mpe ya bandeko na bango oyo bakobomama lokola bango.
And there was given to every one a white robe, and they were ordered to take their rest for a little time, till the number was complete of the other servants, their brothers, who would be put to death, even as they had been.
12 Bongo namonaki Mpate kobuka ekangelo ya motoba, mpe mabele eninganaki makasi. Moyi ekomaki molili lokola elamba ya mwindo; bongo sanza, na mobimba na yango, ekomaki motane lokola makila.
And I saw when the sixth stamp was undone, and there was a great earth-shock; and the sun became black as haircloth, and all the moon became as blood;
13 Minzoto ya likolo ekweyaki na mabele ndenge bambuma ya nzete ya figi oyo ekomeli nanu te ekweyaka soki mopepe makasi eningisi yango.
And the stars of heaven were falling to the earth, like green fruit from a tree before the force of a great wind.
14 Lola elongwaki lokola mokanda oyo bazali kolinga, bangomba nyonso mpe bisanga nyonso elongwaki na bisika na yango.
And the heaven was taken away like the roll of a book when it is rolled up; and all the mountains and islands were moved out of their places.
15 Bakonzi ya mabele, bato minene, bakonzi ya mampinga ya basoda, bazwi, bato ya nguya, bawumbu mpe bansomi bakendeki kobombama kati na madusu ya mabanga mpe kati na mabanga minene ya bangomba.
And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the chief captains, and the men of wealth, and the strong, and every servant and free man, took cover in the holes and the rocks of the mountains;
16 Bazalaki koganga epai ya bangomba mpe epai ya mabanga minene: « Bokweyela biso mpe bobomba biso mpo ete Ye oyo avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi amona biso te, mpe mpo ete kanda ya Mpate ekweyela biso te!
And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 Pamba te mokolo monene ya kanda na bango ekoki, bongo nani akoki kolonga kotelema? »
For the great day of their wrath is come, and who may keep his place?
