Ugubutulu 6
1 Shakapanu numwoniti Mwanakondolu kankugubandula mfindiku gwa kwanja gwa ilii mifindiku saba. Mpikaniriti yumu gwa vilii viwumbi msheshi vyaviwera vikomu pakatakula kwa liziwu gambira lwa mpanta, “Gwizi!”
Then I saw the Lamb break one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four creatures crying with a voice like thunder – “Come.”
2 Neni ndoliti na kumbiti palii paweriti na falasi mfufu. Na mkwena panani pa falasi gwakuwi kaweriti na upindi, wampananiti na lijenjeri. Su kalawa gambira mkanka, kendereyi kukanka.
And in my vision I saw a white horse. Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
3 Shakapanu, Mwanakondolu kagubandura mfindiku gwa pili. Numupikaniriti shiwumbi ulii mkomu gwa pili pakatakula, “Gwizi!”
When the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second creature crying – “Come.”
4 Neni ndoliti na mona paweriti falasi yumonga palii, msheri. Mkwena panani pa falasi gwakuwi wampananiti lihengu lya kuwusiya ponga pasipanu, su wantu walilagi. Wampananiti kayi upanga mkulu.
Then there went out another horse, a red horse, and to its rider was given the power to deprive the earth of peace, so that people should kill one another; and he was given a great sword.
5 Shakapanu Mwanakondolu kagubanduliti mfindiku gwa tatu. Numupikaniriti shiwumbi ulii mkomu gwa tatu pakatakula, “Gwizi!” Moniti palii paweriti na falasi yumu mtitu. Mkwena panani pa falasi gwakuwi kaweriti na vipimu viwili vya kupimira utopa mumawoku mwakuwi.
When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third creature crying – “Come.” And in my vision I saw a black horse. Its rider held scales in his hand.
6 Mpikanira shintu gambira liziwu lyalilawira pakati pa viwumbi vilii vyamsheshi yaviwera vikomu. Nayomberi katakuliti, “Shibaba shimu sha ubumu wa nganu kwa shiyasi sha mpiya sha shibena mgongu sha lishaka limu na vibaba vitatu vya shayili kwa shibena mgongu sha lishaka limu. Kumbiti naguhalibisiya lipaki na divayi!”
And I heard what seemed to be a voice, coming from among the four creatures, crying – “A quart of wheat for a silver coin, and three quarts of barley for a silver coin! But do not harm the oil and the wine.”
7 Shakapanu, Mwanakondolu kagubandura mfindiku gwa msheshi. Numupikinira ulii shiwumbi mkomu gwa msheshi, “Gwizi!”
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth creature crying – “Come.”
8 Neni ndoliti na kumbiti kaweriti falasi yumu gwa shijivu palii. Na litawu lyakuwi mkwena panani pa falasi gwakuwi liweriti Kuhowa na lirindi lyalihera upeleru limfatiti kumbeli. Awa wapananitwi makakala kwa wega yimu zya wega msheshi zya pasipanu, wawalagi wantu kwa upanga na njala na ulweli wa tawuni na kwa wankanyama wakalipa wa pasipanu. (Hadēs g86)
And in my vision I saw a grey horse. His rider’s name was Death, and Hades rode behind him; and power was given them over the fourth part of the earth, so that they might destroy with sword and famine and death, and by means of the wild Beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Shakapanu, Mwanakondolu kagubanduliti mfindiku gwa muhanu. Moniti pasi palii pashitalawanda sha kutambikira rohu zya walii yawalagitwi toziya ya kubwera Shisoweru sha Mlungu na toziya ya ukapitawu yawaulaviyiti.
When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the sake of God’s message and for the testimony which they had borne.
10 Su walira kwa liziwu likulu, “Gwee Mtuwa, yaguwera mnanagala na mjimilika, mpaka ndii hagukawi kuwatoza kwa yawakala woseri wa pasipanu kwajili ya kulagwa kwa twenga?”
They cried in a loud voice – “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, before you will give judgment and avenge our blood on all who are living on the earth?”
11 Wapananitwi kila yumu lihabiti lifufu, wagambirwa wongeri kwoyera kwa shipindi shididini, mpaka payitimiya walanga ya wantumintumi wayawu na walongu weni hawalagwi gambira womberi ntambu yawalagitwi.
Then to each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to rest yet a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and of their friends in Christ’s service who were about to be put to death, as they had been, should be complete.
12 Shakapanu ndoliti na shipindi Mwanakondolu pakagubanduriti mfindiku gwa sita, kuweriti na lirindimiru likulu lya isi, mshenji guweri mtitu gambira liguniya lititu, lyezi lyoseri liwera lisheri gambira mwazi.
And I saw the Lamb break the sixth seal, and then there was a great earthquake. The sun became black, like sackcloth, and the moon, which was at its full, like blood.
13 Na ntondu zya kumpindi zituluka pa pasipanu gambira mabwajubwaju ga mumtera gwa mkuyu yagakamala ndiri yagatuluka shipindi mtera gwakuwi pagutikwa na lipuga.
The stars of the heavens fell to the earth, as when a fig tree, shaken by a strong wind, drops its unripe fruit.
14 Liyera lidegeka vipandi viwili gambira mkeka wagubilingwabilingwa, migongu yoseri na visiwa vyoseri vibegiziwa na kuhalibisiwa.
The heavens disappeared like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 Shakapanu wafalumi wa pasipanu na wakulu wa isi na wakulu wa mashonta na walunda na yawawera na makakala na kila mmanda na muntu mlekeru, walififa mumpanga na mumatalawu ga kumigongu.
Then all the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the generals, and the rich, and the powerful, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and under the rocks of the mountains;
16 Wayigambira migongu ayi na matalawu aga, “Mtuguwukiri, mtufifi patali na yomberi yakalivaga pashibanta sha ufalumi na patali na maya ga Mwanakondolu!
and they are crying to the mountains and the rocks – “Fall on us, and hide us from the eyes of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 Toziya lishaka lya gweka lya maya gawu lisoka. Gaa hakawezi kugoloka?”
for the great day of their wrath is come, and who can stand to meet it?”
