< Ugubutulu 8 >
1 Na Mwanakondolu pakagubanduriti mfindiku gwa saba, kuweriti jiii kumpindi kwa shipindi sha nusu saa.
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 Shakapanu, nuwawoniti wantumintumi wa kumpindi saba walii wagoloka palongolu pa Mlungu wapananitwi mimbalapi saba.
I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yumonga kasokiti, katola shetezu sha zaabu, kagoloka palongolu pa shitalawanda sha kutambikira pa kutumisiya ubani. Nayomberi wampananiti ubani uvuwa kawutumisiyi pamuhera na maluwa ga wantu woseri wa Mlungu pashitalawanda sha kutambikira sha zaabu yayiweriti palongolu pa shibanta sha ufalumi.
Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the kadoshim, on the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 Lyosi lya ubani pamuhera na maluwa ga wantu wa Mlungu, vikweniti kunani kulawa mumawoku mwakuwi ulii ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yakaweriti palongolu pa Mlungu.
The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the kadoshim, went up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi katola shetezu shilii, kashimemiziya motu kulawa pashitalawanda sha kutambikira, kashiyasa pasipanu. Paweriti na mpanta na lirindimiru na mimeta na libegiziwu lya isi.
The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Shakapanu wantumintumi wa kumpindi saba walii, yawaweriti na mimbalapi saba walituliti kala kugagomba mimbalapi.
The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 Ntumintumi gwa kwanja gwa kumpindi kagombiti mbalapi yakuwi. Mhanganyiku gwa vula ya mabuwi na motu pamuhera na mwazi gwitikitwi pasipanu. Selusi yimu ya isi ilunguliti na selusi yimu ya mitera ilunguliti na mihamba yoseri miwisi ilunguliti.
And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa pili kagombiti mbalapi yakuwi na shintu gambira lugongu lukulu lwaluwaka motu luwasitwi mubahali. Selusi yimu ya ibahali igalambukiti kuwera mwazi,
The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
9 selusi yimu ya viwumbi vyavilikala mubahali vifuwiti na selusi yimu ya mitumbwi ihalibisitwi.
and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa tatu kagombiti mbalapi yakuwi. Na ntondu nkulu yakiti gambira lisukuruwa lya motu iguwiti kulawa kumpindi na kutulukira muselusi yimu ya nshemba na mbwiru zya mashi.
The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of the waters.
11 Ntondu ayi ishemwa “Ukalipa.” Su selusi yimu ya mashi gaweriti gakalipa, wantu wavuwa wahowiti toziya ya mashi aga, toziya gagalambukiti gaweriti gakalipa.
The name of the star is called "Wormwood." One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa msheshi kagombiti mbalapi yakuwi. Su selusi yimu ya mshenji ikomitwi na selusi yimu ya lyezi ikomitwi na selusi yimu ya ntondu ikomitwi, su selusi ya vyoseri avi viwera liwindu. Selusi yimu ya paliwala yaheriti uweru, vilaa na selusi yimu ya pashiru.
The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day would not shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 Shakapanu ndoliti, mpikaniriti mpongu kapungu pakaguluka kumpindi nentu kuliyera pakalonga kwa liziwu likulu, “Shodi, oli, oli, kwa yawalikala pasipanu shipindi wantumintumi wa kumpindi watatu yagasigaliti hawagombi mbalapi zyawu!”
I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe. Woe. Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound."
