< Nng'ibhulo 8 >
1 Mwana Ngondolo pagopolaga shiundo sha shabha, kunnungu kukujilaga malanga ga nushu shaa.
And when he opened the seventh seal, silence occurred in heaven, like half an hour.
2 Nigunaabhweninji ashimalaika shabha, bhaajimangana mmujo ja a Nnungu bhala, nigubhapegwilenje mapenga shabha.
And I saw the seven agents who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Malaika juna gwaishe, nijima mmujo ja shitala shila, ajigele nkungu gwa shaabhu gwa bhishila lubhani. Gwapegwilwe lubhani lwalungwinji, nkupinga abhishile na malobhe ga bhandunji bha ukonjelo, pa shitala sha shaabhu shijima pa shitengu sha upalume.
And another agent came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he would give with the prayers of all the sanctified upon the golden altar before the throne.
4 Lyoi lya lubhani lila, na malobhe ga kwaajuga a Nnungu ga bhandunji bha ukonjelo, guipite kwa a Nnungu kupitila nkono uka malaika.
And the vapor of the incense, with the prayers of the sanctified, ascended before God out of the agent's hand.
5 Penepo malaika gwatolile nkungu gwa bhishila lubhani gula, nikuugumbaya moto koposhela pa shitala pala, na gwauleshele ku shilambolyo. Penepo guikoposhele kulindimila, na nnjai, na lilobhe, na kumeta, na tetemela kwa litaka.
And the agent who took the censer, also filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it to the earth. And there occurred thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Bhai, bhene ashimalaika shabha bhala, bhalinginji na mapenga shabha, gubhaibhishilenje ukoto bhagagombanje.
And the seven agents who have the seven trumpets prepared themselves so that they might sound.
7 Malaika jwa ntai gwagombile lipenga lyakwe, gujikoposhele ula ja maganga na moto uanganyishe na minyai, guileshelwe pai, nngabhanyaga shilambo showe pa tatu, shipande shimo gushitinishe, na nngabhanyaga mikongo jowe patatu, lipungu limo lya mikongo gulitinishe, na maamba gowe ganashibhii gugatinishe.
And the first sounded, and there occurred 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 Malaika jwa bhili gwagombile lipenga lyakwe, na shindu mbuti shitumbi shikulungwa shilikolela moto, gushileshelwe mbhaali. Na nngabhanyaga bhaali jowe pa tatu, shipande shimo, nibha minyai.
And the second agent sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood,
9 Nngabhanyaga iumbe yowe itama mbhaali pa tatu, lipungu limo guiwile na nneyo peyo, meli lipungu limo ikuangabhanywaga.
and the third part of the creatures in the sea (those having lives) died, and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
10 Malaika jwa tatu gwagombile lipenga lyakwe na lutondwa lukulungwa lulikolela mbuti kandili, gulugwile koposhela kumaunde, nngabhanyaga pa tatu nushi yowe ya mabhutuka na injweshwe, shipande shimo nigushigwililwe na lwene lutondwa lula.
And the third agent sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven burning like a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the springs of the waters.
11 Lwene lutondwalo pulushemwa, “Kubhabha” na shene shipande shagwililwe na lwene lutondwalo, mashi gakwe gatendaga bhabha, na bhandunji bhabhagwinji gubhawilenje kwa ligongo lya gene mashigo, pabha gatendaga bhabha kwa kaje.
And the name of the star is called Wormwood oil. And the third part of the waters developed into wormwood oil, and many of the men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Numbe malaika jwa nsheshe gwagombile lipenga lyakwe na nngabhanyaga lyubha, mwei na ndondwa yowe pa tatu, shipande shimo gushikomilwe, kwa nneyo shipande shimo sha shilangaya nibha lubhindu. Shipande shimo sha mui nibha lubhindu, na shipande shimo nibha shilo.
And the fourth agent sounded, and the third part of the sun was struck, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them would be darkened. And the day did not shine the third part of it, and likewise the night.
13 Ngaloleje kabhili, gunimpilikene litumbui jumo aliguluka kunani kaje, kwa lilobhe lya utiya alinkuti, “Ole, ole, ole ku bhandu bhaatamangana pa shilambolyo, kwa ligongo lya mapenga gana gapinga gombwa na ashimalaika.”
And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying in a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth from the remaining sounds of the trumpet of the three agents who are going to sound.
