Ufunuo 9
1 Malaika wa tano akaipiga tarumbeta yake, nami nikaona nyota iliyokuwa imeanguka toka angani hadi ardhini. Nyota hiyo ilipewa ufunguo wa lile Shimo. (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth Angel blew the trumpet, and I saw a starre fall from heauen vnto the earth, and to him was giuen the key of the bottomlesse pit. (Abyssos g12)
2 Alipolifungua hilo Shimo, moshi ukapanda kutoka humo kama moshi wa tanuru kubwa sana. Jua na anga vikatiwa giza na ule moshi uliotoka katika hilo Shimo. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the bottomlesse pit, and there arose the smoke of the pit, as the smoke of a great fornace, and the sunne, and the ayre were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Ndipo katika ule moshi wakatoka nzige wakaenda juu ya nchi, nao wakapewa nguvu kama zile za nge wa duniani.
And there came out of the smoke Locustes vpon the earth, and vnto them was giuen power, as the scorpions of the earth haue power.
4 Wakaambiwa wasidhuru nyasi ya nchi, wala mmea wala mti wowote, bali wawadhuru tu wale watu ambao hawana muhuri wa Mungu kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao.
And it was comanded them, that they should not hurt the grasse of the earth, neither any greene thing, neither any tree: but onely those men which haue not the seale of God in their foreheads.
5 Wakaruhusiwa kuwatesa kwa muda wa miezi mitano, lakini wasiwaue. Uchungu wa kuuma kwao ulikuwa kama ule wa mtu aumwapo na nge.
And to them was comanded that they should not kill them, but that they should be vexed fiue moneths, and that their paine should be as the paine that commeth of a scorpion, when he hath stung a man.
6 Katika siku hizo watu watatafuta kifo lakini hawatakiona, watatamani kufa, lakini kifo kitawakimbia.
Therefore in those dayes shall men seeke death, and shall not finde it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flie from them.
7 Wale nzige walikuwa na umbo kama la farasi waliotayarishwa kwa ajili ya vita. Kwenye vichwa vyao kulikuwa na kitu kama taji za dhahabu na nyuso zao zilikuwa kama za binadamu.
And the forme of the locustes was like vnto horses prepared vnto battel, and on their heads were as it were crownes, like vnto golde, and their faces were like the faces of men.
8 Walikuwa na nywele kama za wanawake, na meno yao yalikuwa kama ya simba.
And they had heare as the heare of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lyons.
9 Walikuwa na dirii kama za chuma, na sauti za mabawa yao zilikuwa kama ngurumo za farasi wengi na magari mengi yakikimbilia vitani.
And they had habbergions, like to habbergions of yron: and the soud of their wings was like the sound of charets whe many horses runne vnto battel.
10 Walikuwa na mikia yenye miiba ya kuumia kama nge. Nguvu yao ya kutesa watu kwa huo muda wa miezi mitano ilikuwa katika hiyo mikia yao.
And they had tailes like vnto scorpions, and there were stings in their tailes, and their power was to hurt men fiue moneths.
11 Walikuwa na mfalme wao, ambaye ni malaika wa lile Shimo, ambaye jina lake kwa Kiebrania ni Abadoni, na kwa Kiyunani ni Apolioni. (Abyssos g12)
And they haue a King ouer them, which is the Angel of the bottomlesse pit, whose name in Hebrewe is Abaddon, and in Greeke he is named Apollyon, that is, destroying. (Abyssos g12)
12 Ole ya kwanza imepita, bado nyingine mbili zinakuja.
One woe is past, and beholde, yet two woes come after this.
13 Malaika wa sita akaipiga tarumbeta yake, nami nikasikia sauti ikitoka katika zile pembe za madhabahu ya dhahabu iliyoko mbele za Mungu.
Then the sixt Angel blew the trumpet, and I heard a voyce from the foure hornes of the golden altar, which is before God,
14 Ile sauti ikamwambia yule malaika wa sita mwenye tarumbeta, “Wafungulie wale malaika wanne waliofungwa kwenye ule mto mkubwa Frati.”
Saying to the sixt Angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the foure Angels, which are bound in the great riuer Euphrates.
15 Basi wale malaika wanne, waliokuwa wamewekwa tayari kwa ajili ya saa hiyo, na siku hiyo, na mwezi huo, na mwaka huo ili wawaue theluthi ya wanadamu wakafunguliwa.
And the foure Angels were loosed, which were prepared at an houre, at a day, at a moneth, and at a yeere, to slay the thirde part of men.
16 Idadi ya majeshi wapanda farasi ilikuwa 200,000,000. Nilisikia idadi yao.
And the nomber of horsemen of warre were twentie thousand times ten thousand: for I heard the nomber of them.
17 Hivi ndivyo nilivyowaona hao farasi na wapanda farasi katika maono yangu: Wapanda farasi walivaa dirii vifuani zenye rangi nyekundu sana kama ya moto na yakuti samawi na kiberiti. Vichwa vya hao farasi vilikuwa kama vichwa vya simba, na moto, moshi na kiberiti vilitoka vinywani mwao.
And thus I saw the horses in a vision, and them that sate on them, hauing firie habbergions, and of Iacinth, and of brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heades of lyons: and out of their mouthes went foorth fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 Theluthi ya wanadamu wakauawa kwa mapigo hayo matatu, yaani, huo moto, moshi na kiberiti, vilivyotoka kwenye vinywa vya hao farasi.
Of these three was the thirde part of men killed, that is, of the fire, and of the smoke, and of the brimstone, which came out of their mouthes.
19 Nguvu za hao farasi zilikuwa katika vinywa vyao na kwenye mikia yao, kwa sababu mikia yao ilikuwa kama nyoka, yenye vichwa ambayo waliitumia kudhuru.
For their power is in their mouths, and in their tailes: for their tailes were like vnto serpents, and had heades, wherewith they hurt.
20 Wanadamu waliosalia, ambao hawakuuawa katika mapigo hayo, bado walikataa kutubia kazi za mikono yao na hawakuacha kuabudu mashetani na sanamu za dhahabu, za fedha, za shaba, za mawe na za miti, ambazo haziwezi kuona, kusikia wala kutembea.
And the remnant of the men which were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their handes that they should not worship deuils, and idoles of golde and of siluer, and of brasse, and of stone, and of wood, which neither can see, neither heare nor goe.
21 Wala hawakutubu na kuacha matendo yao ya uuaji, uchawi, uasherati wala wizi wao.
Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcerie, neither of their fornication, nor of their theft.
