Emoniseli 9
1 Anjelu ya mitano abetaki kelelo, mpe namonaki monzoto kokweya na mokili wuta na Lola. Fungola ya libulu ya monene mpe ya molili makasi epesamaki na monzoto yango. (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
2 Tango efungolaki libulu yango, milinga ebele emataki longwa kuna; ezalaki lokola milinga oyo ebimaka na fulu monene ya moto makasi, mpe eyindisaki moyi mpe mopepe. (Abyssos g12)
and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Wuta na milinga yango, mankoko ebimaki, epanzanaki na mokili mpe epesamelaki bokonzi lokola oyo ya bakoto.
And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,
4 Nzokande epesamelaki mitindo ete esala mabe te na matiti ya mokili to na nkona nyonso ya mobesu to na nzete nyonso, kasi esala mabe kaka na bato oyo bazangi kashe ya Nzambe na bambunzu na bango.
and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but — the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,
5 Esengelaki konyokola bango basanza mitano, kasi esengelaki te koboma bango. Pasi oyo ezalaki kopesa ekokanaki na oyo moto ayokaka soki koto eswi ye.
and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;
6 Na basanza wana mitano, bato bakoluka kufa, kasi bakozwa yango te; bakolinga kokufa, kasi kufa ekokima bango.
and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.
7 Mankoko yango ezalaki lokola bampunda oyo babongisi mpo na etumba. Na mito na yango, ezalaki na biloko moko lokola mitole ya wolo, mpe bilongi na yango ezalaki lokola bilongi ya bato.
And the likenesses of the locusts [are] like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,
8 Suki na yango ezalaki lokola suki ya basi, mpe minu na yango ezalaki lokola minu ya nkosi.
and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions,
9 Tolo na yango ezalaki lokola bibende oyo basoda balataka na tolo, mpe makelele ya mapapu na yango ezalaki lokola makelele ya bashar oyo bampunda ebele ezali kobenda mpo na etumba.
and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;
10 Mikila na yango ezalaki na basonge lokola mikila ya bakoto, mpe nguya na yango ya konyokola bato basanza mitano ezalaki kati na mikila na yango.
and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five months;
11 Anjelu ya libulu ya monene mpe ya molili makasi nde azalaki mokonzi na yango. Kombo na ye, na lokota ya Ebre, « Abadoni; » mpe, na lokota ya Greki, « Apolioni. » (Abyssos g12)
and they have over them a king — the messenger of the abyss — a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Tango pasi ya liboso elekaki, bapasi mosusu mibale elandaki.
The first woe did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.
13 Anjelu ya motoba abetaki kelelo, mpe nayokaki mongongo moko kobima longwa na maseke minei ya etumbelo oyo basala na wolo, etumbelo oyo ezalaki liboso ya Nzambe.
And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,
14 Mongongo yango ezalaki koloba na anjelu ya motoba oyo azalaki na kelelo na maboko: « Fungola ba-anjelu minei oyo bazali ya kokangama na minyololo pembeni ya ebale monene Efrate. »
saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, 'Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;'
15 Boye ba-anjelu wana minei oyo babongisamaki mpo na ngonga wana, mokolo wana, sanza wana mpe mobu wana, bafungolamaki mpo ete baboma eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bato.
and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;
16 Bazalaki minkoko nkama mibale ya basoda oyo babundaka na likolo ya bampunda. Yango nde motango na bango oyo nayokaki.
and the number of the forces of the horsemen [is] two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them.
17 Tala ndenge nini, kati na emoniseli na ngai, bampunda mpe basoda oyo babundaka na likolo na yango bazalaki: balataki bibende oyo basoda balataka mpo na kobatela tolo. Bibende yango ezalaki ya motane makasi lokola moto, ya langi ya bule ya pete mpe ya langi ya mosaka; bongo mito ya bampunda ezalaki lokola mito ya bankosi, mpe minoko na yango ezalaki kobimisa moto, milinga mpe sofolo.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone;
18 Tala bapasi misato oyo ezalaki kobima na minoko ya bampunda: moto, milinga mpe sofolo. Ebomaki eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya bato.
by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,
19 Nguya ya bampunda ezalaki kati na minoko mpe na mikila na yango, pamba te mikila na yango ezalaki lokola banyoka, mpe ezalaki na mito oyo, na nzela na yango, ezalaki kosala bato mabe.
for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;
20 Kasi bato oyo bakufaki te na nzela ya bapasi wana batikaki te banzambe oyo maboko na bango moko esalaki; batikaki te kogumbamela milimo mabe mpe banzambe ya bikeko oyo basala na wolo, na palata, na bronze, na mabanga mpe na mabaya atako emonaka te, eyokaka te mpe eninganaka te.
and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,
21 Batikaki mpe te koboma bato, misala na bango ya maji, kindumba na bango mpe moyibi na bango.
yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.
