Uruyan Yuhana 6
1 Men yene kubi ko na Kukam npuno utursu kuzor, nlanza umon na nya ninawa tene nlai woro nin liwui na liwadi nafo ututuzo, “Da!”
I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
2 Men yene kabarak kaboo, unan nkowe wa min utah, inani wa nighe litapa tigo. A nuzu nafo unan li likum na le likum.
Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
3 Ku kame puno utursu unbe, nlanza finawa fin nbe woro, “Da!”
When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
4 Kan kabarik nuzu kashine ka din zue kiti. Iwa yininghe akalla nsheu nayi nan nya inye, bara anite nan molso atimine. Uwa in unan kabarak ko sangali ku dia.
Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
5 Kubi na kuzara npuno utursu un tatte, nlanza makeke nlai un tatte nworo, “Da!” Nyene kabarak kasirne, unan nko we wa min kuwatan ncara mye.
When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
6 Nlanza imomon nafo liwui nan nya makeke nlai nanase woro, “Kuyanga alkama ba yitu fisulei, ayanga attat tutun fisulei. Na uwa nanza nnuf nin nmyen narau ba.”
I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
7 Kubi na kuzara npuno utursu un nase makeke man nase woor, “Da!”
When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
8 Nyene kabarak ka naki di pom. Unan nko kanin lisa mye likul, iwa nighe likara kitene nimon inas nan nya inye, a mollu inin nin liyop, kukpon, ukonu, nin ninawa kusho nan nya inye. (Hadēs g86)
This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
9 Kubi na kuzare npuno utursu un tau, nyene kadas nbagadi nidowo nalenge na iwa mollu nani bara ligbulang kutelle nin shaida mine na iwa min nin liwui lirum.
When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
10 Inung su kuculu nin liwui kang, “Udu nin shiyari iba su tigo kitene bite vat, nlau nin kidegen, se uwucu kidegenkidegen nalenge na isosin nan nya inye, se ubiya nmyi bite?”
They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
11 Vat mine iwa ni ko ghaku ushot uboo, ibelle nani au icica baat, se ise ukulunu nadon licin mine, nuana mine ni lime nan nishono nda duru, alenge na iba mollu nani, nafo na ina malu umolu nani.
[God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
12 Kubi na kuzara npuno utursu un tocine, na nwadi ncawe uhirtuzu kutyin wa duku. Uwui so usirne nafo ticini, unin upui ye so nafo nmyi.
I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] like blood.
13 Iyini kitene kani disso nan nya inyi, nafo na affa kuka asa idiso kubi liyinin, na ifunu wa zinlinghe.
The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
14 Kitene kani sa ki wullu nafo kuffa ninyerte na ijinkpilo. Ko lome likup nin npege iwa kala nani kiti mine.
The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
15 Anug ago nyulele nan nanit agegeme addidia, anan nimon nacara, anan nakara, nan ko gha tutun, kucin nin nlenge na ibunku ghe, nyeshine nan nya natai, nan natala nakup.
[As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
16 Iworo nakupe nan natale, “Disson kitene bite! Nyeshen nari nmoru nlenge na asosin kitene kutet tigo nin tinana nayi kuzara.
They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
17 Bara liyiri lidia tinana nayi ndah, ghari nwasa ayisina?”
This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
