< Ugubukulo 9 >
1 Kangi mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga wa mhanu akapyula lipenenga laki. Nene nayiwene ndondo yeyigwili panani ya mulima kuhuma kunani. Yene yapewili fungulu za kudindulila Ligodi langali mwishu. (Abyssos )
AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss of hell. (Abyssos )
2 Hinu, ndondo yeniyo yadindwili Ligodi langali mwishu, likahuma lyohi lawonikini ngati lyohi lelihuma kulitanulu livaha. Lilanga na kunani ndi vyagubikwi na lyohi wenuwo kuhuma wa ku Ligodi litali langali mwishu. (Abyssos )
And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a vast furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos )
3 Mambalanguli gakahuma kuvala ya lyohi lenilo, vakabwela pamulima, vapewili makakala ga kuluma ngati makakala ga chipilili.
And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, such power as the scorpions of the earth possess.
4 Vajoviwi vakotoka kuhalabisa manyahi ga mulima amala mahamba ga mkongo wowoha wula na mimea, nambu vavavinisa vandu vangali ulangisu wa Chapanga muchiwungi cha mihu.
And it was told them, Hurt not the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 Mambalanguli genago gapewili lepi amuli ya kuvakoma vandu vala, nambu vavang'aha ndu mulukumbi lwa miyehi mhanu. Na mvinisu wenuwo uvya ngati mundu mwealumiwi na vipilili.
And it was given them in charge that they should not kill these men outright, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
6 Lukumbi lwenulo vandu yati vilonda lifwa nambu yati vifwa lepi, yati vilonda kufwa nambu lifwa likuvatila.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall earnestly desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
7 Mambalanguli genago gawonekana ngati falasi vevatendelekiwi kungondo. Panani ya mitu yavi kwavili vindu vyeviwangana na njingwa za zahabu na viwungi vyavi vyawanangini na viwungi vya vandu.
And the figures of the locusts were like horses equipped for war; and upon their heads there were as crowns, like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 Mayunju gavi gatali ngati mayunju ga vadala na minu gavi ngati minu ga lihimba.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 Na nganga zavi zagubikwi na chindu ngati nyula ya lyuma kujilindalila nganga. Lwami lweluhuma mumagwaba gavi wavi ngati mutuka zamahele zezihutwa na falasi vevijumba kungondo.
And they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was as the rumbling of chariots of many horses rushing to battle.
10 Vavi na mikila yeyivii na minga ngati chipilili, na kwa mumikila yeniyo, yavi na makakala ga kuvalemasa vandu mulukumbi lwa miyehi mhanu.
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and they had power to hurt men five months.
11 Kangi vavi na nkosi mweakuvalongosa, mwene ndi mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mweapewili uhotola wa Ligodi langali mwishu, liina laki kwa Chiebulania ndi Abadoni, na kwa Chigiliki ndi Apolioni, mana yaki ndi “Mkomaji.” (Abyssos )
And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss of hell, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Appollyon. (Abyssos )
12 Lukumbi lwa kutumbula lwa kuchikolela lumali kupita, na kwakona gangi gavili.
One woe is past; and, behold, there are coming yet two woes after these.
13 Kangi, mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga wa sita akapyula lipenenga laki. Na nene nayuwini lwami kuhuma pandi mcheche za lusanja lwa luteta lwa zahabu yeyavi palongolo ya Chapanga.
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a great voice from the four horns of the altar of gold which is before God,
14 Lwami lula lukamjovela mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga wa sita mweavi na lipenenga, “Vadindulila vamitumi va kunani kwa Chapanga mcheche vevadindiwi mumfuleni uvaha Eufulati!”
saying to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 Vala vajumbi mcheche va Setani vadinduliwi, na vatendalakiwi ndava ya likumbi lulolo na ligono lilolo mwehi wunuwo na mwaka wuwowo, muni vavakoma lilundu limonga pagati ya malundu gadatu gegiwanangana wa vandu.
And the four angels were loosed, who were ready at the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill the third part of mankind.
16 Nayuwini mvalangu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli vevitama panani ya falasi, vene vavi milioni miya zivili.
And the number of the armies of cavalry was two myriads of myriads and I heard the number of them.
17 Mukulola kwangu kula naloli naha: Falasi na vevitama panani ya falasi vavi na nyula za lyuma munganga zavi zezavi zidung'u ngati motu zezivii na langi ya buluu ngati kunani na njanu ngati liganga la baluti. Mitu ya falasi avo yavi ngati lihimba na mu milomo yavi mwahumayi lyohi na motu na baluti yeyiyaka.
And in this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who were mounted upon them, having breastplates of the colour of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the horses’ heads were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 Lilundu limonga pagati ya gadatu ya vandu veviwanangana vakomiwi kwa matovilu genago gadatu, kwa motu na lyohi na baluti yeyiyaka yeyahumayi mu milomo ya falasi,
By these three were slain the third part of mankind, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the sulphur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 makakala ga falasi wenawo yavi mu milomo na mumikila yavi. Mikila yavi ngati mitu ya liyoka, vene vahengili kuvaluma vandu.
For their powers are in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 Nambu vandu vangi vangakomiwa kwa matovilu ago gadatu, valekili lepi kumbudila Chapanga ya kugundamila vindu vyevatenganizi vene. Valekili lepi kugundamila mzuka na chimong'omong'o cha zahabu na feza na shaba na maganga na mikongo zangahotola kulola amala kuyuwana amala kugenda.
And the residue of mankind, who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of wood, and of stone: which can neither see nor hear, nor walk:
21 Mewawa valekili lepi kumbudila Chapanga, valekili lepi kuleka kuhenga ukomaji na uhavi na ukemi na uhiji.
and they repented not of their murders, nor of their magical arts, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
