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 opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, 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, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya mibale, nayokaki ekelamu ya mibale ya bomoi koloba: « Yaka! »
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, 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 there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto 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 he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances 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 I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya minei, nayokaki mongongo ya ekelamu ya minei ya bomoi koloba: « Yaka! »
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, 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 looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with 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 he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
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 cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell 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 white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
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 beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and 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 fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 Lola elongwaki lokola mokanda oyo bazali kolinga, bangomba nyonso mpe bisanga nyonso elongwaki na bisika na yango.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island 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 great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in 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 said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, 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 his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
