प्रकाश 8
1 जब थुमाले सातौँ मोहोर खोल्नुभयो, स्वर्गमा लगभग आधा घण्टा जति सन्नाटा छायो ।
And, as soon as he opened the seventh seal, there came to be silence in heaven, as it were half an hour.
2 त्यसपछि मैले परमेश्वरको अगाडि उभिरहेका सात जना स्वर्गदूतलाई देखेँ, र तिनीहरूलाई सातवटा तुरही दिइयो ।
And I saw the seven messengers which, before God, do stand; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.
3 अर्को स्वर्गदूत आए र सुनको धुपौरो लिएर वेदीको छेउमा उभिए । सिंहासन अगाडि सबै विश्वासीका प्रार्थनासँग चढाउनका लागि ती स्वर्गदूतलाई धेरै धूप दिइयो ।
And, another messenger, came, and took his stand at the altar, having a censer of gold: and there was given unto him much incense, that he might give [it] unto the prayers of all the saints, upon the altar of gold that is before the throne.
4 विश्वासीहरूका प्रार्थनासँगै धूपको धुवाँ स्वर्गदूतको हातबाट परमेश्वरको अगाडि पुग्यो ।
And the smoke of the incense went up, with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the messenger before God.
5 स्वर्गदूतले धुपौरो लिए र वेदीबाट आगो भरे । तब तिनले त्यसलाई पृथ्वीमा फ्याँकिदिए, अनि चट्याङ, गडगडाहट, बिजुलीका चमकहरू उत्पन भए र भूकम्प गयो ।
And the messenger at once took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast unto the earth; and there came to be thunderings, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 तब सातवटा तुरही भएका सात स्वर्गदूतहरू ती फुक्नलाई तयार भए ।
And, the seven messengers who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves, that they might sound.
7 पहिलो स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो तुरही फुके र त्यहाँ असिना र रगत मिसिएको आगो आयो । यसलाई तल पृथ्वीमा फालियो । यसले पृथ्वीको तिन भागको एक-तिहाइ भागलाई डढायो; तिन भागको एक-तिहाइ रुखहरूलाई डढायो र सबै हरिया घाँसलाई पनि डढायो । [टिपोटः केही पुराना संस्करणहरूमा यसलाई छोडिएको छ] । त्यसैले, यसको तिन भागको एक-तिहाइ डढेको थियो ।
And, the first, sounded; and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast unto the earth; and, the third of the earth, was burned up, and, the third of the trees, was burned up, and, all green herbage, was burned up.
8 दोस्रो स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो तुरही फुके, अनि आगोले जलिरहेको एउटा ठुलो पहाडजस्तो केही समुद्रमा फालियो । समुद्रको एक-तिहाइ भाग रगत बन्यो ।
And, the second messenger, sounded; and, as it were a great mountain burning with fire, was cast into the sea; and the third of the sea became blood,
9 त्यसपछि समुद्रमा भएका जीवित प्राणीहरूमध्ये एक-तिहाइ भाग मरे, र जहाजहरूका एक-तिहाइ भाग नष्ट भए ।
and the third of the creatures which were in the sea, which had life, died, the third of the ships, was destroyed.
10 तेस्रो स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो तुरही फुके, अनि आकाशबाट बलिरहेको राँकोजस्तो एउटा ठुलो तारा नदीहरूका एक-तिहाइ भाग र पानीको मुहानमा खस्यो ।
And, the third messenger, sounded; and there fell, out of heaven, a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.
11 त्यो ताराको नाउँ “ऐरेलु” हो । एक-तिहाइ भागको पानी तितो भयो, र त्यो तितो भएको पानीबाट धेरै मानिस मरे ।
And, the name of the star, is called Wormwood; and the third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 चौथो स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो तुरही फुके, त्यसैले, सूर्यको एक-तिहाइ भाग साथसाथै चन्द्रमाको एक-तिहाइ र ताराहरूको एक-तिहाइ भागमा प्रहार गरियो । एक-तिहाइ भाग अन्धकारमा परिणत भयो, अनि दिनको एक-तिहाइ र रातको एक-तिहाइ भागमा ज्योति भएन ।
And, the fourth messenger, sounded; and the third of the sun was smitten, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, —in order that the third of them might be darkened, and the day might not shine for the third of it, and the night, in like manner.
13 अनि मैले हेरेँ, र आकाशको बिचमा उडिरहेको एउटा गरुड ठुलो सोरमा यसो भन्दै कराइरहेको सुनेँ, “बाँकी रहेका तिन स्वर्गदूतले फुक्नै आँटेका तुरहीको आवाजको कारण पृथ्वीमा बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई धिक्कार, धिक्कार, धिक्कार ।”
And I saw, and I heard one eagle, flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice—Woe! woe! woe! unto them that are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the remaining voices of the trumpet, of the three messengers who are about to sound.
