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!”
I saw that 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 and see!”
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.
Then a white horse appeared, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
3 Shakapanu, Mwanakondolu kagubandura mfindiku gwa pili. Numupikaniriti shiwumbi ulii mkomu gwa pili pakatakula, “Gwizi!”
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “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.
Another came out, a 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 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 he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance 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!”
I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”
7 Shakapanu, Mwanakondolu kagubandura mfindiku gwa msheshi. Numupikinira ulii shiwumbi mkomu gwa msheshi, “Gwizi!”
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
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 behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat on it was Death. Sheol 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 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 he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
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 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 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.
A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
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.
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 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 sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
14 Liyera lidegeka vipandi viwili gambira mkeka wagubilingwabilingwa, migongu yoseri na visiwa vyoseri vibegiziwa na kuhalibisiwa.
The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of 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.
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 Wayigambira migongu ayi na matalawu aga, “Mtuguwukiri, mtufifi patali na yomberi yakalivaga pashibanta sha ufalumi na patali na maya ga Mwanakondolu!
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 Toziya lishaka lya gweka lya maya gawu lisoka. Gaa hakawezi kugoloka?”
for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
