Revelation 8

1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

Zvino wakati azarura mucherechedzo wechinomwe, kwakavapo kunyarara kudenga kwakaita sehafu yeawa.

2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

Zvino ndakaona vatumwa vanomwe vamire pamberi paMwari, kukapiwawo kwavari hwamanda nomwe.

3 Then another angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar. He was given a large amount of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne.

Zvino umwe mutumwa wakauya akamira paaritari, ane mudziyo wezvinonhuhwira wegoridhe; kukapiwa kwaari zvinonhuhwira zvizhinji, kuti azvipe neminyengetero yevatsvene vese pamusoro pearitari yegoridhe yakange iri pamberi pechigaro cheushe.

4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended up to God from the hand of the angel.

Zvino utsi hwezvinonhuhwira hwakakwira neminyengetero yevatsvene huchibva muruoko rwemutumwa pamberi paMwari.

5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

Mutumwa akatora mudziyo wezvinonhuhwira, ndokuuzadza nemoto wearitari, ndokuukanda panyika; zvino kwakavapo manzwi nekutinhira nemheni nekudengenyeka kwenyika.

6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

Zvino vatumwa vanomwe vakange vane hwamanda nomwe vakazvigadzirira kuti varidze.

7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were hurled down to the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

Zvino mutumwa wekutanga wakaridza, ndokuvapo chimvuramabwe nemoto zvakavhenganiswa neropa, ndokukandwa panyika; nechetatu chemiti chakapiswa, neuswa unyoro hwese hwakapiswa.

8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea became blood,

Zvino mutumwa wechipiri wakaridza, zvino chimwe segomo guru rinopfuta nemoto chikakandwa mugungwa; chetatu chegungwa ndokuva ropa;

9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

ndokufa chetatu chezvisikwa zviri mugungwa zvine upenyu, nechetatu chezvikepe chikaparadzwa.

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of water.

Zvino mutumwa wechitatu wakaridza, kukawa kubva kudenga nyeredzi huru, ichipfuta semwenje, ndokuwira pamusoro pechetatu chenzizi, nepamusoro pezvitubu zvemvura.

11 The name of the star is Wormwood, and a third of the waters became bitter like wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

Zvino zita renyeredzi rainzi Gavakava; chetatu chemvura ndokuva gavakava, nevanhu vazhinji vakafa nemvura, nokuti yakange yavaviswa.

12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

Zvino mutumwa wechina wakaridza, chetatu chezuva ndokurohwa nechetatu chemwedzi nechetatu chenyeredzi, kuti chetatu chazvo chisvibiswe, uye kuti chetatu chemasikati chirege kuvhenekera, neusiku saizvozvo.

13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle saying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet from the three angels who are about to sound!”

Zvino ndakatarira, ndokunzwa mutumwa umwe achibhururuka ari pakati pedenga achiti nenzwi guru: Mune nhamo, mune nhamo, mune nhamo vagari vepanyika, pamanzwi asara ehwamanda yevatumwa vatatu vachazoridza!
