< 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!”
And 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 saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: 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!”
And 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.
And another [horse] came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay 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 opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon 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!”
And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not.
7 Kangi, Mwanalimbelele akaubandula mdindilu wa mcheche wa mnemu. Namyuwini yula chiumbi wumi wa mcheche ijova, “Bwelayi!”
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of 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 )
And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs )
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 opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been 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 great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the 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 there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, which should be killed even 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 saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth 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
and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs, when she is shaken of a great wind.
14 Kunani na kwawukili ngati mpasa cheyikunjiwi, vidunda vyoha na visiwa vikawusiwa pandu paki.
And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; 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 princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, 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!
and they say to the mountains and to the 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 their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?
