Okubikkulirwa 6
1 Awo ne ndaba Omwana gw’Endiga ng’abembulula akamu ku bubonero bw’envumbo; ne mpulira ekimu ku biramu ebina nga kyogera n’eddoboozi eryawulikika ng’okubwatuka nga kigamba nti, “Jjangu!”
Then I saw the Lamb break one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four Creatures crying with a voice like thunder — ‘Come.’
2 Ne ndaba, era laba, embalaasi enjeru, ng’agyebagadde alina omutego ogulasa akasaale; n’aweebwa engule n’agenda ng’awangula, n’awangulira ddala.
And in my vision I saw ‘a white horse.’ Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
3 Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akookubiri, ne mpulira ekiramu ekyokubiri nga kyogera nti, “Jjangu!”
When the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second Creature crying — ‘Come.’
4 Ne wavaayo embalaasi endala nga myufu, eyali agyebagadde n’aweebwa ekitala ekiwanvu, n’aweebwa n’obuyinza okuggyawo emirembe ku nsi, n’okuleeta entalo wakati w’abantu, battiŋŋane bokka na bokka.
Then there went out another horse, ‘a red horse,’ and to its rider was given the power to deprive the earth of peace, so that men should kill one another; and he was given a great sword.
5 Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akokusatu ne mpulira ekiramu ekyokusatu nga kyogera nti, “Jjangu!” Era laba, ne ndaba embalaasi enzirugavu n’eyali agyebagadde ng’akutte minzaani mu mukono gwe.
When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third Creature crying — ‘Come.’ And in my vision I saw ‘a black horse.’ Its rider held scales in his hand.
6 Ne mpulira eddoboozi eryawulikika ng’eriva wakati w’ebiramu ebina nga ligamba nti, “Omugaati gumu gugula ddinaali, ne kilo y’obuwunga bwa sayiri nayo bw’eba egula, kyokka omuzigo n’envinnyo tobyonoona.”
And I heard what seemed to be a voice, coming from among the four Creatures, crying — ‘A quart of wheat for a florin, and three quarts of barley for a florin! But do not harm the oil and the wine.’
7 Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akookuna ne mpulira ekiramu ekyokuna nga kyogera nti, “Jjangu!”
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth Creature crying — ‘Come.’
8 Ne ndaba, era laba, embalaasi ey’erangi ensiiwuukirivu n’eyali agyebagadde ng’ayitibwa Walumbe, ne Magombe n’agenda naye. Ne baweebwa okufuga ekitundu ekyokuna eky’ensi, okutta n’ekitala, n’enjala, n’olumbe, n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku nsi. (Hadēs g86)
And in my vision I saw a grey horse. His rider’s name was Death, and the Lord of the Place of Death rode behind him; and power was given them over the fourth part of the earth, so that they might ‘destroy with sword and famine and death, and by means of the wild beasts of the earth.’ (Hadēs g86)
9 Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akookutaano ne ndaba wansi w’ekyoto emyoyo egy’abo abattibwa olw’okubuulira ekigambo kya Katonda n’olw’okuba abeesigwa mu bujulizi bwabwe.
When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the sake of God’s Message and for the testimony which they had borne.
10 Ne bakaabirira Mukama n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka nga bagamba nti, “Ayi Mukama, Omutukuvu era ow’amazima, onoosalira ddi abantu b’ensi omusango, n’owoolera eggwanga olw’omusaayi gwaffe?”
They cried in a loud voice — ‘How long, O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, before thou wilt give judgment and avenge our blood upon all who are living upon the earth?’
11 Buli omu ku bo n’aweebwa ekyambalo ekyeru, era ne bagambibwa okugira nga bawummulako okutuusa baganda baabwe abalala era baweereza bannaabwe aba Yesu abaali bagenda okuttibwa, lwe balibeegattako.
Then to each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to rest yet a little longer, till the number of their fellow-servants and of their Brothers who were about to be put to death, as they had been, should be complete.
12 Awo ne ndaba ng’abembulula akabonero k’envumbo ak’omukaaga; ne wabaawo musisi ow’amaanyi ennyo, era enjuba n’eddugala n’efuuka nzirugavu ng’ekibukutu ekyakolebwa mu bwoya, n’omwezi gwonna ne gumyuka ng’omusaayi.
And I saw the Lamb break the sixth seal, and then there was a great earthquake. The sun became black, like sackcloth, and the moon, which was at its full, like blood.
13 Awo emmunyeenye ez’omu ggulu ne zigwa ku nsi ng’omutiini bwe gukunkumula emitiini egitanayengera olwa kibuyaga ow’amaanyi,
‘The stars of the heavens fell’ to the earth, as when a fig-tree, shaken by a strong wind, drops its unripe fruit.
14 n’eggulu ne lyezingako ng’omuzingo gw’ekitabo bwe gwezingazinga na buli lusozi na buli kizinga ne biggibwawo mu bifo byabyo.
The heavens disappeared like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 Bakabaka b’ensi, n’abafuzi ab’oku ntikko n’abantu abagagga, n’abakulu b’amaggye n’ab’amaanyi, na buli muddu n’ow’eddembe, ne beekweka mu mpuku ne mu njazi z’ensozi.
Then all the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the generals, and the rich, and the powerful, and every slave and free man, ‘hid themselves in the caves and under the rocks’ of the mountains;
16 Ne bagamba ensozi nti, “Mutugweko mutukweke mu maaso g’Oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, ne mu busungu bw’Omwana gw’Endiga.
and they are crying to the mountains and the rocks — ‘Fall upon us, and hide us from the eyes of him who is seated on the throne, and from the Wrath of the Lamb,
17 Kubanga olunaku olukulu olw’obusungu bwabwe lutuuse era ani ayinza okugumira obusungu bwabwe!”
for the great Day of their Wrath is come, and who can stand to meet it?’
