Okubikkulirwa 8

1 Awo Omwana gw’Endiga bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo ak’omusanvu ne wabaawo akasiriikiriro mu ggulu lyonna okumala ng’ekitundu ky’essaawa.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2 Ne ndaba bamalayika omusanvu abaali bayimiridde mu maaso ga Katonda ne baweebwa amakondeere musanvu.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and seven trumpets were given to them.

3 Awo malayika omulala eyalina ekyoterezo ekya zaabu n’ajja n’ayimirira okuliraana ekyoto, n’aweebwa obubaane bungi nnyo abuweeyo, wamu n’okusaba kw’abatukuvu bonna, ku kyoto ekya zaabu ekyali mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka.

And another angel came, and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he might present it with the prayers of all the saints, upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 Akaloosa akalungi n’omukka ebyava mu bubaane obutabuddwamu n’okusaba kw’abatukuvu ne kambuka eri Katonda nga kava mu kyoto malayika mwe yabufuka.

And the smoke of the perfumes went up, with the prayers of the saints, from the hand of the angel, before God.

5 Malayika n’addira ekyoterezo n’akijjuza omuliro gw’aggye ku kyoto n’aguyiwa wansi ku nsi, ne wabaawo okubwatuka, n’okuwuluguma, n’okwakaayakana, n’okumyansa kw’eggulu era ne wabaawo ne musisi.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it upon the earth; and there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 Awo bamalayika omusanvu abaalina amakondeere omusanvu ne beetegeka okufuuwa amakondeere gaabwe.

And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound.

7 Malayika ow’olubereberye n’afuuwa ekkondeere lye, omuzira n’omuliro nga byetabudde n’omusaayi ne bisuulibwa wansi ku nsi. Ekitundu ekyokusatu eky’ensi ne kiggya omuliro, bwe kityo n’ekitundu kimu kya kusatu eky’emiti ne kiggya omuliro, n’omuddo gwonna ne guggya.

And the first sounded; and there hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast down upon the earth; and a third part of the trees was burnt up, and all the herbage was burnt up.

8 Malayika owookubiri n’afuuwa ekkondeere lye, ekintu ekinene ennyo nga kifaanana ng’olusozi olunene ennyo nga lwonna lwaka omuliro ne kisuulibwa mu nnyanja. Ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu ekyennyanja ne kifuuka omusaayi,

And the second angel sounded; and it was as if a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea;

9 n’ekimu ekyokusatu eky’ebitonde eby’omu nnyanja ne kifa, n’ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu eky’amaato ne kizikirira.

and a third part of the creatures which had life in the sea, died; and a third part of the ships were destroyed.

10 Malayika owookusatu n’afuuwa ekkondeere lye, emmunyeenye ennene eyakaayakana n’egwa okuva mu ggulu, n’egwa mu kitundu ekimu ekyokusatu eky’emigga n’ensulo z’amazzi.

And the third angel sounded; and there fell from heaven a great star, blazing like a torch; and fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters:

11 Emmunyeenye eyo yali eyitibwa “Kukaawa” n’etteeka obutwa mu kitundu ekimu ekyokusatu eky’amazzi gonna, abantu bangi ne bafa.

and the name of the star was called Wormwood, and a third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were become bitter.

12 Malayika owookuna n’afuuwa ekkondeere lye, ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu eky’enjuba n’ekimu ekyokusatu eky’omwezi, n’ekimu ekyokusatu eky’emmunyeenye, ne bikubwa; era ekyavaamu, obudde obw’emisana ne buzikirako ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu, n’ekiro ne kyeyongera okukwata ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu, n’omusana ne gulema okwaka ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu, n’ekizikiza ne kyeyongera bwe kityo.

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 was obscured for a third part, and the night also.

13 Ne ndaba empungu emu ng’ebuuka mu bbanga ng’ereekaana mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Zibasanze, Zibasanze, Zibasanze abantu ab’oku nsi olw’ebintu eby’entiisa ebinaatera okubatuukako kubanga bamalayika abasatu abasigaddeyo banaatera okufuuwa amakondeere gaabwe.”

And I beheld, and heard one of the angels flying in the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell upon the earth, for the remaining sounds of the trumpets of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
