Tshenolo 9
1 Mme moengele wa botlhano a letsa torompeta ya gagwe mme ka bona mongwe yo o wetseng mo lefatsheng a tswa kwa legodimong, mme ene a bo a neetswe dikopololo tsa molete o o se nang bolekanngo. (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fallen out of heaven to the earth, and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss; (Abyssos g12)
2 Ya re a o bula, mosi wa tswa jaaka ekete o tswa mo leisong la boubelo jo bogolo. Mme letsatsi le phefo tsa fifadiwa ke mosi. (Abyssos g12)
and he opened the pit of the abyss. And there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Mme tsie ya tswa mo mosing ya fologela mo lefatsheng mme ya newa nonofo ya go loma jaaka diphepheng.
And out of the smoke went forth locusts upon the earth, and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power;
4 E ne ya laelwa gore e se ka ya tlhokofatsa bojang kgotsa dijalo kgotsa ditlhare mme e tlhasele batho ba ba senang lotshwao lwa Modimo mo diphatlheng tsa bone.
and it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads;
5 E se ka ya ba bolaya, fa e se go ba tlhokofatsa selekanyo sa dikgwedi tse tlhano ka tlhokofatso e e tshwanang le go loma ga phepheng.
and it was given to them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it hath struck a man.
6 Mo malatsing ao batho ba tlaa leka go ipolaya mme ga ba kitla ba kgona, loso ga lo kitla lo tla. Ba tlaa eletsa go swa, mme loso lo tlaa sia!
And in those days men will seek death, and shall not find it; and will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 Tsie e ne e lebega jaaka dipitse tse di baakanyeditsweng ntwa. E ne e na le sengwe se lebega jaaka dirwalo tsa gauta mo ditlhogong tsa yone, mme difatlhogo tsa yone di ntse jaaka batho.
And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men;
8 Moriri wa yone o le mo leele jaaka wa basadi, le meno a yone a tshwana le a ditau.
and they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 E ne e apere diiphemelo tsa sehuba tse di ntseng jaaka tsa tshipi, le diphuka tsa yone di suma jaaka mophato wa dipitse tse di siamelang ntweng.
And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 E ne e na le megatla e e lomang jaaka diphepheng, mme nonofo ya yone ya go tlhokofatsa, e e e neetsweng selekanyo sa dikgwedi tse tlhano, e ne e le mo megatleng ya yone.
And they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months.
11 Kgosi ya yone ke kgosana ya molete o o senang bolekanngo e leina la yone e leng Abadone, ka Sehebera, mme ka Segerika ke Apolione (mme e ne e bidiwa Mosenyi ka Setswana). (Abyssos g12)
They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek he hath for his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Therego ya ntlha jaanong e a fela, mme go na le tse pedi tse di tlang!
The first woe is past; behold, two woes more are yet to come.
13 Moengele wa borataro a letsa torompeta ya gagwe mme ka utlwa lentswe le bua mo dinakeng tse nne tsa sebeso sa gauta se se leng fa pele ga setilo sa Bogosi,
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God,
14 le raya moengele wa borataro le re, “Golola baengele ba le bane ba ba boitshegang ba ba golegilweng fa nokeng e kgolo ya Yuferatase.”
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 Ba ne ba baakanyeditswe yone ngwaga eo le kgwedi le letsatsi le oura eo, mme jaanong ba ne ba gololwa go bolaya karolo ya boraro ya batho botlhe.
And the four angels were loosed, who were in readiness for the hour, and day, and month, and year, to slay the third part of men.
16 Mme ka utlwa kitsiso ya palo ya one, mophato wa ntwa wa didikadike tse di makgolo a mabedi, mme ka utlwa kitsiso ya palo ya one.
And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; I heard the number of them.
17 Ka bona dipitse tsa bone di bewa fa pele ga me mo ponatshegelong ya me; bapalami ba tsone ba ne ba apere diiphemelo tsa sehuba tse di khibidu, e tswa dingwe di ne di le botala jwa legodimo, tse dingwe di le di tshetlha. Ditlhogo tsa dipitse di ne di tshwana le tsa ditau, mme mosi le molelo le selefera e e tukang di tswa mo melomong ya tsone, di bolaya karolo ya boraro ya batho botlhe.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of a fiery, and a dark blue, and a brimstone color; and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions, and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and the smoke, and the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19 Nonofo ya tsone ya loso e ne e se mo melomong ya tsone fela, le mo megatleng e ne e le teng, gonne megatla ya tsone e ne e tshwana le ya ditlhogo tsa dinoga tse di lomang go ntsha dintho tse di botlhoko.
For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like to serpents, having heads; and with them they do hurt.
20 Mme batho ba ba neng ba setse, morago ga dipetso tse, ba bo ba ntse ba gana go obamela Modimo! Ba se ka ba bakela go obamela mewa e e maswe, le medimo ya bone ya disetwa e e dirilweng ka gauta le selefera, kgotlho, leje le logong, e e sa boneng e e sa utlweng le fa e le go tsamaya!
And the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can neither see; nor hear, nor walk;
21 Le gone ga ba a ka ba fetola megopolo ya bone le maikutlo, dipolao tsa bone tsotlhe le boloi, boitshekologo jwa bone le bogodu.
and they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
