Ufunuo 8
1 Wakati Mwanakondoo alipofungua muhuri ya saba, kukawa na ukimya mbinguni takribani nusu saa.
And when it opened the seventh seal, there was silence in the heaven about half an hour.
2 Kisha nikaona malaika saba wasimamao mbele za Mungu, na wakapewa tarumbeta saba.
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Malaika mwingine akaja, ameshikilia bakuli ya dhahabu yenye uvumba, amesimama madhabahuni. Akapewa uvumba mwingi ili kwamba autoe pamoja na maombi ya waamini wote katika madhabahu ya dhahabu mbele ya kiti cha enzi.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might give [efficacy] to the prayers of all saints at the golden altar which [was] before the throne.
4 Moshi wa ule uvumba, pamoja na maombi ya waamini, ukapanda juu mbele za Mungu kutoka mkononi mwa malaika.
And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel before God.
5 Malaika akatwaa bakuli la uvumba na akalijaza moto kutoka kwenye madhabahu. Kisha akalitupa chini juu ya nchi, na kukatokea sauti za radi, miale ya radi na tetemeko la nchi.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast [it] on the earth: and there were voices, and thunders and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Wale malaika saba ambao walikuwa na tarumbeta saba wakawa tayari kuzipiga.
And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they might sound with [their] trumpets.
7 Malaika wa kwanza akaipiga tarumbeta yake, na kukatokea mvua ya mawe na moto uliochanganyikana na damu. Vikatupwa chini katika nchi ili kwamba theluthi yake iungue, theluthi ya miti ikaungua na nyasi zote za kijani zikaungua.
And the first sounded [his] trumpet: and there was hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 Malaika wa pili akaipiga tarumbeta yake, na kitu kama mlima mkubwa uliokuwa unaungua kwa moto ukatupwa baharini. Theluthi ya bahari ikawa damu,
And the second angel sounded [his] trumpet: and as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 theluthi ya viumbe hai katika bahari vikafa, na theluthi ya meli zikaharibiwa.
and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea which had life died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 Malaika wa tatu akaipiga tarumbeta yake, na nyota kubwa ikaanguka kutoka mbinguni, ikimulika kama kurunzi, juu ya theluthi ya mito na chemichemi za maji.
And the third angel sounded [his] trumpet: and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.
11 Jina la nyota ni pakanga. Theluthi ya maji ikawa pakanga, na watu wengi wakafa kutokana na maji yaliyokuwa machungu.
And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters because they were made bitter.
12 Malaika wa nne alipiga tarumbeta yake, na theluthi ya jua ikapigwa, pamoja na theluthi ya mwezi na theluthi ya nyota. Kwa hiyo theluthi ya vyote ikageuka kuwa giza; theluthi ya mchana na theluthi ya usiku havikuwa na mwanga.
And the fourth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them should be darkened, and that the day should not appear [for] the third part of it, and the night the same.
13 Nilitazama, na nikasikia tai aliye kuwa anaruka katikati ya anga, akiita kwa sauti kuu, “Ole, ole, ole, kwa wale wakaao katika nchi, kwa sababu ya mlipuko wa tarumbeta iliyosalia ambayo imekaribia kupigwa na malaika watatu.”
And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell upon the earth, for the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound.
