Emoniseli 8
1 Tango Mpate afungolaki ekangelo ya sambo, kimia moko ekotaki kati na Lola mpe esalaki minite pene tuku misato.
And when be had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about haft an hour.
2 Bongo namonaki ba-anjelu sambo oyo batelemaka liboso ya Nzambe, mpe bapesaki bango bakelelo sambo.
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God; and there were given to them seven trumpets.
3 Anjelu mosusu ayaki mpe atelemaki na etumbelo; amemaki mbabola basala na wolo mpo na kotumba na yango ansa. Bapesaki ye ansa ebele ya kobonza elongo na mabondeli ya basantu nyonso, mpo ete abonza yango na likolo ya etumbelo basala na wolo, liboso ya Kiti ya Bokonzi.
And another angel came, and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 Wuta na loboko ya anjelu, molinga ya ansa elongo na mabondeli ya basantu emataki liboso ya Nzambe.
And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints before God out of the angel's hand.
5 Bongo anjelu azwaki mbabola, atondisaki yango na makala ya moto oyo azwaki na etumbelo, mpe abwakaki mbabola yango na mabele. Mbala moko, lokito moko ya makasi eyokanaki: bakake, mingongo, mikalikali mpe koningana ya mabele.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth; and there followed thunders, and lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake.
6 Bongo ba-anjelu sambo oyo bazalaki na bakelelo sambo bamibongisaki mpo na kobeta yango.
And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 Anjelu ya liboso abetaki kelelo; mpe, mbala moko, mvula ya mabanga mike elongo na moto esangana na makila ebwakamaki na mabele. Bongo biloko oyo ezikaki: eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya mabele, eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya banzete, mpe matiti nyonso ya mobesu.
And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 Anjelu ya mibale abetaki kelelo; mpe na mbala moko, eloko moko lokola ngomba monene oyo ezali kopela moto ebwakamaki na ebale monene. Eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya ebale monene ekomaki makila;
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea;
9 mpe eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bikelamu oyo evandaka kati na ebale monene ekufaki, eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bamasuwa nyonso ebebisamaki.
and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 Anjelu ya misato abetaki kelelo; mpe na mbala moko, monzoto moko ya monene oyo ezali kopela lokola mwinda monene ekweyelaki, longwa na likolo, eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bibale mpe bitima ya mayi.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.
11 Kombo ya monzoto yango ezali: Bololo. Eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bamayi ekomaki bololo, mpe bato ebele bakufaki likolo na bamayi mpo ete ekomaki bololo.
And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Anjelu ya minei abetaki kelelo; mpe na mbala moko, eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya moyi, ya sanza mpe ya minzoto ebebaki. Na bongo, eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya kongenga na yango ekomaki molili. Boye eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya mokolo mpe ya butu ezangaki pole.
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night in like manner.
13 Bongo nayokaki mpongo, oyo ezalaki kopumbwa na likolo makasi, koloba na mongongo makasi: « Mawa! Mawa! Mawa penza na bavandi ya mokili tango ba-anjelu misato ya suka bakobeta bakelelo na bango! »
And I saw, and heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth, by reason of the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are yet to sound!
