Tshenolo 8
1 Erile fa Kwana e sena go kanolola sekano sa bosupa, ga nna tidimalo mo legodimong lotlhe e ka nna selekanyo sa oura.
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 Mme ka bona baengele ba supa ba ba emang fa pele ga Modimo, mme ba neelwa ditorompeta di supa.
I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven shofars were given to them.
3 Mme moengele yo mongwe a tshotse leiswana la gauta a tla a ema fa sebesong; mme a neelwa maswalo a mantsi go a tlhakanya le dithapelo tsa batho ba Modimo, gore a a bee mo sebesong sa gauta e le setlhabelo fa pele ga setilo sa Bogosi.
Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the holy ones on the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 Mme lonko lwa maswalo lo lo tlhakaneng le dithapelo lwa tlhatlogela kwa Modimong lo tswa mo sebesong mo moengele a neng a a tshetse teng.
The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the holy ones, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5 Mme moengele a tlatsa leiswana ka molelo o o tswang mo sebesong mme a le latlhela mo lefatsheng; mme tumo ya maru ya thulana ya duma, logadima lwa phatsima, mme ga nna le thoromo e e maswe ya lefatshe.
The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, then threw it on the earth. Thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake followed.
6 Mme baengele basupa ba ba tshotseng ditorompeta ba ipaakanyetsa go di letsa.
The seven angels who had the seven shofars prepared themselves to sound.
7 Moengele wa ntlha a letsa torompeta ya gagwe, mme sefako le molelo di tlhakane le madi tsa latlhelwa mo lefatsheng. Karolo ya boraro ya lefatshe ya fisiwa gore karolo ya boraro ya ditlhare e bo e lailwe ke molelo, le bojang jotlhe jo bo tala.
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 burned up, and one third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8 Mme moengele wa bobedi a letsa torompeta ya gagwe, mme se se neng se bonala ekete thaba e kgolo e e tukang ya latlhelwa mo lewatleng, ya senya karolo ya boraro ya dikepe; mme karolo ya lewatle ya fetoga bohibidu jaaka madi; le karolo ya boraro ya ditlhapi ya bolawa.
The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Moengele wa boraro a letsa torompeta mme naledi e kgolo e e tukang ya wa kwa legodimong ya wela mo karolong ya boraro ya melapo le metswedi.
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 water.
11 Naledi e e ne e bidiwa “Bogalaka” gonne e ne ya fetola karolo ya boraro ya metse otlhe mo lefatsheng, mme batho ba le bantsi ba a swa.
The name of the star is “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Moengele wa bone a letsa torompeta ya gagwe mme ka bofefo karolo ya boraro ya letsatsi ya senngwa ya ba ya fifadiwa, le karolo ya boraro ya ngwedi le dinaledi, mo phatsimo ya letsatsi e neng ya fifadiwa selekanyo sa karolo ya boraro mme ga nna lefifi le le boitshegang.
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 wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 Ya re ke lebelela, ka bona ntsu a le esi a fofa go kgabaganya magodimo a lelela kwa godimo, a re, “Ija, Ija, Ija, a bo go latlhega batho ba lefatshe ka ntlha ya dilo tse di maswe tse di tlaa tlogang di direga fa baengele ba bararo ba ba setseng ba letsa ditorompeta tsa bone.”
I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the other blasts of the shofars of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”
