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 sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. (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 bottomless pit: and there came up smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air 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 out of the smoke there came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, even as the scorpions of the earth have 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 order was given them, not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; but only the men, who had not the seal of God on 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 given power, not to kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it striketh a man.
6 Katika siku hizo watu watatafuta kifo lakini hawatakiona, watatamani kufa, lakini kifo kitawakimbia.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall flee 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 resemblance of the locusts was like horses prepared for war; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces as the faces of men.
8 Walikuwa na nywele kama za wanawake, na meno yao yalikuwa kama ya simba.
And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
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 breast-plates like breast-plates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, with many horses running to battle.
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 tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
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 had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Ole ya kwanza imepita, bado nyingine mbili zinakuja.
Thus one wo is past, but behold two woes more are coming after.
13 Malaika wa sita akaipiga tarumbeta yake, nami nikasikia sauti ikitoka katika zile pembe za madhabahu ya dhahabu iliyoko mbele za Mungu.
And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a certain voice from the four horns 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 sixth angel, who had the trumpet, Let loose the four angels, that are bound by the great river 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 four angels were let loose; who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to kill the third part of men.
16 Idadi ya majeshi wapanda farasi ilikuwa 200,000,000. Nilisikia idadi yao.
And the number of their armies was two hundred millions: for I heard the number 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 the vision, and those that sat on them, that is, having breast-plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came 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.
And by these three things, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which came out of their mouths, the third part of men were killed.
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 mouth, and in their tails also; for their tails are like serpents, having heads: and with these likewise they do mischief.
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 rest of the men, who were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to 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 Wala hawakutubu na kuacha matendo yao ya uuaji, uchawi, uasherati wala wizi wao.
neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
