Ugubukulo 6
1 Kangi, nikamlola Mwanalimbelele akuchigangandula pagati ya chimonga ya vidindilu saba. Nikayuwana mmonga wa vala viumbi wumi mcheche akajova kwa lwami ngati mbamba, “Bwelayi!”
I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come."
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 looked, and suddenly there was a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Kangi, Mwanalimbelele akagagandula chidindilu cha pili cha mnemu. Namyuwini yula chiumbi wumi wa pili ijova, “Bwelayi!”
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come."
4 Mewawa akahumila falasi yungi, mdung'u. Mweatamili panani ya falasi akagotolewa uhotola wa kuwusa uteke pamulima, vandu vakomanayi, mwene apewili upanga uvaha.
Another came forth, a fiery red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to 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.
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come." And I saw, and suddenly there was a black horse and he who sat on it had a balance 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!”
I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius. Do not damage the oil and the wine."
7 Kangi, Mwanalimbelele akaubandula mdindilu wa mcheche wa mnemu. Namyuwini yula chiumbi wumi wa mcheche ijova, “Bwelayi!”
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come."
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 suddenly there was a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hell followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him. (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.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of people who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they had.
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?”
They called out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who 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.
A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a little longer, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
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,
I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole 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
The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
14 Kunani na kwawukili ngati mpasa cheyikunjiwi, vidunda vyoha na visiwa vikawusiwa pandu paki.
The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. 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.
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves 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!
They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits 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 their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
