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 one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of thunder, 'Come and behold!'
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 lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome.
3 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya mibale, nayokaki ekelamu ya mibale ya bomoi koloba: « Yaka! »
And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, 'Come and behold!'
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 forth another horse — red, and to him who is sitting upon it, there was given to him to take the peace from the land, and that one another they may slay, 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 he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, 'Come and behold!' and I saw, and lo, a black horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a balance 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 living creatures saying, 'A measure of wheat for a denary, and three measures of barley for a denary,' and 'The oil and the wine thou mayest not injure.'
7 Tango Mpate abukaki ekangelo ya minei, nayokaki mongongo ya ekelamu ya minei ya bomoi koloba: « Yaka! »
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, 'Come and behold!'
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, and lo, a pale horse, and he who is sitting upon him — his name is Death, and Hades doth follow with him, and there was given to them authority to kill, (over the fourth part of the land, ) with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the land. (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 opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that 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 were crying with a great voice, saying, 'Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?'
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 each one white robes, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little time, till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their brethren, who are about to be killed — even as they.
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 he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, 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 the heaven fell to the earth — as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken —
14 Lola elongwaki lokola mokanda oyo bazali kolinga, bangomba nyonso mpe bisanga nyonso elongwaki na bisika na yango.
and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island — out of their places they were moved;
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, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, 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 they say to the mountains and to the rocks, 'Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,'
17 Pamba te mokolo monene ya kanda na bango ekoki, bongo nani akoki kolonga kotelema? »
because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?
