Ufunuo 6
1 Kisha nikamwona Mwanakondoo anavunja mhuri mmojawapo wa ile mihuri saba. Nikasikia kimoja cha vile viumbe hai vinne kikisema kwa sauti kama ya ngurumo, “Njoo!”
And I saw, when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four Living Creatures say, with a voice like thunder, "Come!"
2 Mimi nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwa na farasi mmoja mweupe hapo. Na mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na upinde, akapewa na taji. Basi, akatoka kama mshindi aendelee kushinda.
And I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who sat on him had a bow; and there was given him a crown; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Kisha, Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa pili. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa pili akisema, “Njoo!”
And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second Living Creature say, "Come!"
4 Nami nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mwingine hapo, mwekundu. Mpanda farasi wake alikabidhiwa jukumu la kuondoa amani duniani, watu wauane, akapewa upanga mkubwa.
And another horse come forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it, it was allowed to take peace from the earth, and to cause men to kill one another; and a great sword was given to him.
5 Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tatu. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa tatu akisema, “Njoo!” Nikatazama na kumbe palikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, mweusi. Mpanda farasi wake alikuwa na vipimo viwili vya kupimia uzito mkononi mwake.
And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third Living Creature say, "Come!" And I saw, and lo, a black horse! He who sat on him had a balance in his hand.
6 Nikasikia kitu kama sauti itokayo kwa vile viumbe hai vinne. Nayo ilisema, “Kibaba kimoja cha unga wa ngano wa kiasi cha fedha dinari moja, na vibaba vitatu vya shayiri kwa dinari moja. Lakini usiharibu mafuta wala divai!”
And I heard the semblance of a voice in the midst of the four Living Creatures, saying. "A quart of wheat for a shilling, and three quarts of barley for a shilling; but do not harm the oil and the wine."
7 Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa nne. Nikamsikia yule kiumbe hai wa nne akisema, “Njoo!”
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth Living Creature calling, "Come!"
8 Nami nikatazama, na kumbe alikuwapo farasi mmoja hapo, rangi yake kijivu. Na jina la mpanda farasi wake lilikuwa kifo, na Kuzimu alimfuata nyuma. Hao walipewa mamlaka juu ya robo moja ya dunia, wawaue watu kwa upanga, njaa, tauni na kwa wanyama wakali wa dunia. (Hadēs g86)
So I liked, and lo, a pale horse; and he who sat on him was named Death; and Hades was following after him. To them was given authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and with the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Kisha Mwanakondoo akavunja mhuri wa tano. Nikaona pale chini ya madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani roho za wale waliouawa kwa sababu ya ujumbe wa Mungu, na kwa sababu ya ushuhuda waliotoa.
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they bore.
10 Basi, wakalia kwa sauti kubwa: “Ee Bwana, uliye mtakatifu na mwaminifu, mpaka lini utakawia kulipiza kisasi kwa wakazi wote wa dunia kwa ajili ya kuuawa kwetu?”
And with a loud voice they cried, saying, "O Master, holy and true, How long dost thou not judge And avenge our blood On those who dwell on the earth?"
11 Wakapewa kila mmoja vazi refu jeupe, wakaambiwa wazidi kusubiri kwa muda mfupi, mpaka itakapotimia idadi ya watumishi wenzao na ndugu ambao watawaua kama wao wenyewe walivyouawa.
And there was given to each one of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for yet a little time, until the number should be completed by their fellow slaves and their brethren who were about to be put to death as they had been.
12 Kisha nikatazama, na wakati Mwanakondoo alipouvunja mhuri wa sita, kukawa na tetemeko kubwa la ardhi; jua likawa jeusi kama gunia; mwezi wote ukawa mwekundu kama damu;
And I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black, like sackcloth, and the full moon became like blood;
13 nazo nyota za mbingu zikaanguka juu ya ardhi kama matunda ya mtini yasiyokomaa yaangukavyo wakati mti wake unapotikiswa na upepo mkali.
and the stars of the sky fell to earth, as a fig tree shaken by a gale drops its unripe figs.
14 Anga likatoweka kama vile karatasi inavyokunjwakunjwa; milima yote na visima vyote vikaondolewa mahali pake.
And the sky parted asunder like a rolled-up scroll; and every mountain and island was moved out of its place;
15 Kisha wafalme wa duniani, wakuu, majemadari, matajiri, wenye nguvu, kila mtumwa na mtu huru, wakajificha mapangoni na kwenye majabali milimani.
and the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the generals, the rich and the mighty, both slaves and freemen, every one of them hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 Wakaiambia hiyo milima na hayo majabali, “Tuangukieni, mkatufiche mbali na yeye aketiye juu ya kiti cha enzi, na mbali na ghadhabu ya Mwanakondoo!
And they began to say to the mountains and to the rocks. "Fall upon us and hide us From the face of him who is seated upon the throne, And from the wrath of the Lamb;
17 Maana siku maalum ya ghadhabu yao imefika. Nani awezaye kuikabili?”
For the Great Day of their wrath has come, And who is able to stand?"
