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 seals, and I heard one of the four animate beings saying, as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.
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 behold a white horse; and He that sat upon it had a bow, and a crown was given Him, 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 animal saying, Come and see.
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 there came out another horse, which was red: and it was given to him, that sat upon it, to take peace from the earth, that they should kill one another: and there was given him a great sword.
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 animal say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo, a black horse, and he that sat upon it 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 a voice in the midst of the four animals saying, One measure of wheat for a denary, and but three measures of barley for a denary: but see that thou hurt not 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 animal saying, Come and see.
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)
And I saw, and behold a pale horse, and the name of him that sat upon it was Death, and Hades followed him: and power was given them to slay a fourth part of the earth, by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, and by wild beasts. (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 under the altar the souls of those that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they maintained.
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 they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell upon 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 white robes were given to each of them, and it was told them to rest a little while longer, till the number of their fellow-servants, and their brethren that should be killed as they were, should be complete.
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 saw when He opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sack-cloth of hair, and the moon was red as 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 heaven fell to the earth, as a fig-tree droppeth it's unripe figs, when shaken by a strong wind;
14 Anga likatoweka kama vile karatasi inavyokunjwakunjwa; milima yote na visima vyote vikaondolewa mahali pake.
and the heaven passed away as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places:
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 grandees, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caverns and in 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 said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on 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 his wrath is come, and who can stand before Him?"
