1 Kangi, nikamlola Mwanalimbelele akuchigangandula pagati ya chimonga ya vidindilu saba. Nikayuwana mmonga wa vala viumbi wumi mcheche akajova kwa lwami ngati mbamba, “Bwelayi!”
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 Kangi nachiwene chinyama chamsopi palongolo chechikemelewa falasi. Na yula mweatamili panani yaki akamwili upinde. Chapanga ampelili njingwa ya chinkosi, kulangisa mwene ndi nkosi, mwenuyo mweahumili kuvahotola vandu ayendalili kuvahotola.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Kangi, Mwanalimbelele akagagandula chidindilu cha pili cha mnemu. Namyuwini yula chiumbi wumi wa pili ijova, “Bwelayi!”
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 Mewawa akahumila falasi yungi, mdung'u. Mweatamili panani ya falasi akagotolewa uhotola wa kuwusa uteke pamulima, vandu vakomanayi, mwene apewili upanga uvaha.
And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 Mwanalimbelele akagagandula chidindilu cha datu cha mnemu. Namyuwini yula chiumbi wumi wa datu ijova, “Bwelayi!” Kangi nikalola na kumbi pavili na falasi mtitu apo. Mweatamili panani ya falasi avili na vipimu vivili vya kupimila utopesi mu mawoko gaki.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 Nayuwini ngati lwami luhuma pagati ya vala viumbi wumi mcheche. Yene yajovili, “Chibaba chimonga cha uhembe wa nganu kwa luhuna lwa ligono limonga, na vibaba vidatu vya shaili kwa luhuna lwa ligono limonga. Nambu ukoto kuhalibisa mahuta ga zeituni amala divayi!”
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 Kangi, Mwanalimbelele akaubandula mdindilu wa mcheche wa mnemu. Namyuwini yula chiumbi wumi wa mcheche ijova, “Bwelayi!”
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 Kangi nikalola, na kumbi avili falasi mmonga apo langi yaki ya lyenge. Na liina la mweatamili panani ya falasi avili Lifwa, na mulima wa vandu vevafwili amlandili mumbele. Avo vevapewili uhotola wa lobo yimonga ya mulima, vavakoma vandu kwa upanga, njala, tauni na kwa hinyama hikali ya pamulima. (Hadēs g86)
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Kangi, Mwanalimbelele akachigagandula chidindilu cha mhanu cha mnemu. Nikalola pahi ya lusanja lwa luteta lwa kunani kwa Chapanga lwa kuhukisa ubani mipungu ya vala vevakomiwi ndava ya ujumbi wa Chapanga, na ndava vevajovili ndava yaki.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 Hinu, vakavemba kwa lwami luvaha, “Ee Bambu, mweuvi na makakala na mchakaka, yati wikavila mbaka ndali kubwela kuvakitila uhamula vandu vevitama voha pamulima ndava ya kukomiwa kwitu?”
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 Chapanga ampelili kila mmonga ligwanda litali la msopi kwa lukumbi luhupi kulindila, mbaka pautimila mvalangu wa vatumisi vayavi na valongo veviganikiwa kukomiwa ngati vene chevakomiwi.
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
12 Kangi, nikalola, na lukumbi Mwanalimbelele peagagandula chidindilu cha sita. Kukavya na mndendemo wa ndima, lilanga likavya lititu tii ngati ligunila, mwehi woha ukavya udung'u ngati ngasi,
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 ndondo za kunani zikagwa panani ya mulima ngati matunda ga mkuyu gangakangala chegigwa lukumbi mkongo waki pewinyuguswa na chimbungululu chikali
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 Kunani na kwawukili ngati mpasa cheyikunjiwi, vidunda vyoha na visiwa vikawusiwa pandu paki.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 Kangi, vankosi va pamulima, vakulu, na vachilongosi va msambi, vandu vana vindu vyamahele vevavi na makakala na kila mvanda na kila mundu angavya mvanda vakajifiya mumbugu na mumbugu za matalau ya vidunda.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 Vene vakavijovela, vidunda na matalahu gala “Mtigwilila na mutifiya tikotoka kulolekana palongolo ya mihu ga yula mwene mweatami panani ya chigoda cha unkosi, na ligoga la Mwanalimbelele!
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 Muni ligono likulu la ligoga lavi yibweli. Yani mweihotola kulama?”
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
