Ufunuo 8
1 Wakati Mwanakondoo alipofungua muhuri ya saba, kukawa na ukimya mbinguni takribani nusu saa.
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 Kisha nikaona malaika saba wasimamao mbele za Mungu, na wakapewa tarumbeta saba.
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.
Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on 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.
The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.
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.
The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Wale malaika saba ambao walikuwa na tarumbeta saba wakawa tayari kuzipiga.
The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
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, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were 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,
The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
9 theluthi ya viumbe hai katika bahari vikafa, na theluthi ya meli zikaharibiwa.
and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third 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.
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 the waters.
11 Jina la nyota ni pakanga. Theluthi ya maji ikawa pakanga, na watu wengi wakafa kutokana na maji yaliyokuwa machungu.
The name of the star is called "Wormwood." One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from 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.
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 would not shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
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.”
I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe. Woe. Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound."
