Oufunuo 9
1 Shesho ontumi owasanu akhomile ipenga lyakwe. Nailola entondwe afume amwanya yehali egwiye hunsi. Entondwe ehapete enfunkulo yahwilende lyalyenyizye hwilende lyashele selili nomalishilo. (Abyssos g12)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet; and I saw a Star which had fallen from Heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the depths of the bottomless pit, (Abyssos g12)
2 Ahigue ilendde lyashele selyali no malishilo ni lyosi lyazubha pamwanya afume mhati mwilende nashi ilyosi afume hwi tanuri igosi. Isanya nomwanga viabadilishe yabhankisi kwa sababu yelyosi lyalifumile mwilende. (Abyssos g12)
and he opened the depths of the bottomless pit. And smoke came up out of the pit resembling the smoke of a vast furnace, so that the sun was darkened, and the air also, by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Mhati mwilyosi enzije zyafumile ahwenze amwanya eyensi, bhape bhapete enguvu nashi ezye nkonye pamwanya pansi.
And from the midst of the smoke there came locusts on to the earth, and power was given to them resembling the power which earthly scorpions possess.
4 Abhabhozezye bhasa nankanye amasole pansi hahonti hahamela ahalemba hata likwii, hwesho ilahubhantu bhene bhashele sebhali no mhuri owa Ngolobhe huu monji ezye maso gabo.
And they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings--those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Sebhapete oruhusa abhabude ebho abhantu, eshapate amayemba wentehu mezi gasanu. Okhaliwabho wali nashi ola owabhawe nenkonye yehuluma omntu.
Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings a man.
6 Hunsiku ezyo abhantu bhabha hwanze efwa sebhabha yaje, sibhabhanyile.
And at that time people will seek death, but will by no possibility find it, and will long to die, but death evades them.
7 Enzije bhalengene ne falasi bhabhabhehewe hani. Hwibho humatwe gabho hwali na hantu nashi etaji eye dhahabu hu maso gabho zyalinashi ezyabhantu.
The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold.
8 Bhali ninsisi nashi elyabhashe na mino gabho galinashi amino egensama.
Their faces seemed human and they had hair like women's hair, but their teeth resembled those of lions.
9 Bhali evifubhanansi evifubha evye ijela ne sauti eye mapiho gabho ehali nanshi esauti eye magali aminyi yeibhone falasi zyazinyila abhale hwibho.
They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle.
10 Bhalinamaswiha gagaruma nanshi enkonye; humaswiha gabho bhaline nguvu eyanvalaze abhantu humiezi gasanu.
They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind for five months.
11 Bhalinawo nashi omwemwe pamwanya pabho ontumi owamwilende lyashele selili nomalishilo. Itawa lyakwe hushi Ebrania yo Abadoni, nahushi Yunani ali ni tawa Apolioni. (Abyssos g12)
The locusts had a king over them--the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is 'Abaddon,' while in the Greek he is called 'Apollyon.' (Abyssos g12)
12 Pa lwabho eyahwande eshilile. Enya! Pesho pene huli enfwa zibhele zihwenza.
The first woe is past; two other woes have still to come.
13 Ontumi owa sita akhomile ipenga lyakwe, nonvwa esauti efumile mwipeta elye madhahabu eye dhahabu yelipitagalila elya Ngolobhe.
The sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a single voice speaking from among the horns of the golden incense altar which is in the presence of God.
14 Esauti ehabhola ontumi owa sita yali ni penga, “Bhaleshi ontumi bhane bhashele bhagaliliwe mwisoho igosi mu Efrata.”
It said to the sixth angel--the angel who had the trumpet, "Set at liberty the four angels who are prisoners near the great river Euphrates."
15 Antumi bhala bhane bhabhali bhabheshewe husala eyo hani, isiku elyo, omwezi ogwo, no mwaha ogwo, bhaleshewe bhabhahude etheluthi eya bhantu.
And the four angels who had been kept in readiness for that hour, day, month, and year, were set at liberty, so that they might kill a third part of mankind.
16 Idadi elye maskari bhali pamwanya eye falasi bhali 200, 000, 000. Ehonveze idadi yabho.
The number of the cavalry was two hundred millions; I heard their number.
17 Esho sehalolile efalasi hundolesyo yane nabhala bhabhazubhile abhale amwanya yabho: Evifubho vyabho vyali vishamwamu, nashi omwoto obululu wawukholeeye, nokokoleesya washele sewukholeye amatwe ege falasi galengene namatwe egeensama amalomu gabho gwafumile omwoto, ilyosine salfa.
And this was the appearance of the horses which I saw in my vision--and of their riders. The body-armour of the riders was red, blue and yellow; and the horses' heads were shaped like the heads of lions, while from their mouths there came fire and smoke and sulphur.
18 Etheluthi eya bhantu bhali nega khomwe gatatu: omwoto, ilyosi, ne salfa yefumile mmalomu gabho.
By these three plagues a third part of mankind were destroyed--by the fire and the smoke, and by the sulphur which came from their mouths.
19 Hwetesho enguvu eye falasi ehali mmalomu gabho nammaswiha gabho hwesho amaswiha gabho galinanshi enzoha, na bhali na matwe gashele bhaga tumie mabhazi abhantu.
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails being like serpents, and having heads, and it is with them that they inflict injury.
20 Abhantu bhabhasageye, bhashele sebhagojilwe na makhomo egaa, sebhaheteshe embombo zyao zyabhabha bhombaga nantele sebhaleshile apute amapepo na mangolobhe ege dhahabu, ehela, ishaba, amawe na amakwi— evintu vyashele sezi wezizye ahwenye natejezye najende.
But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues, did not even then repent and leave the things they had made, so as to cease worshipping the demons, and the idols of gold and silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear, nor move.
21 Wala sebhatowilwe ogoji wabho, itonga lyabho, omalaya wabho na madala gabho ege wibha.
Nor did they repent of their murders, their practice of magic, their fornication, or their thefts.
