< Chiunukuko 6 >

1 Nipele nambweni Mwanangondolo achimatukulaga chimo mwa imatilo saba ila, ni nampilikene jumo jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi yo alinkuŵecheta kwa liloŵe lyakulindima, “Njise!”
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come.
2 Nipele nachiweni chinyama chachiswela chachikuŵilanjikwa falasi. Ajula jwachikwesile ali ajigele ukunje. Akunnungu ŵampele jwelejo chindu mpela singwa ja chimwenye. Nipele ajula juŵapundile jwatyosile ni kwaula kwapunda ŵandu.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Sooni paŵachimatukwile chimatilo chaŵili, nampilikene jwaaŵili jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi achitiji, “Njise!”
And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
4 Pelepo jwakopochele falasi jwine jwanchejeu. Juŵankwesile falasi jo ŵapegwilwe masengo ga kuchisumula chitendewele pa chilambo kuti ŵandu aulagane achinsyene, nombewo ŵapegwilwe lipanga lyalikulungwa.
And another [horse] came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 Ni paŵachimatukwile chimatilo chaatatu, nampilikene jwaatatu jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi achitiji, “Njise!” Nipele nammweni falasi jwampiliu ni juŵankwesile falasi jo ali ajigele chindu chakupimila chisilo mu nkono wakwe.
And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand.
6 Nipele napilikene mpela liloŵe pasikati ja yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche yo lichitiji, “Chibaba cha utandi wa shayili chikusumikwa kwa malipilo ga masengo ga lyuŵa limo, ni ibaba itatu ya shaili ikusumikwa iyoyo nambo ngasingajonanga mauta ni divai!”
And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not.
7 Paŵachimatukwile chimatilo cha ncheche, nampilikene jwa ncheche jwa yepanganyikwe yejumi achitiji, “Njise!”
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come.
8 Ni nammweni falasi jwa chiliu. Ni jwankwesile jwele falasi jo liina lyakwe lili Chiwa alongene ni liuto lya ŵandu ŵawile. Nombe wose ŵaŵili ŵapegwilwe ulamusi wa mbua ja ncheche ja chilambo, ŵaulaje ŵandu kwa lipanga pane kwa sala pane kwa ilwele pane kuulagwa ni inyama ya mu chilambo. (Hadēs g86)
And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Paŵachimatukwile chimatilo cha nsano nasiweni paasi pa chilisa cha kwinani, mbumu sya ŵandu ŵaŵaulajikwe kwa ligongo lya kulalichila liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni ligongo lya umboni uŵautyosile.
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 Ŵalisile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa achitiji, “Ambuje ŵaali ni ukombole ni ŵaswela ni ŵausyenesyene chinkaŵe mpaka chakachi, kwika kukwalamula ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo ni kwajamuka ŵelewo ŵaŵatuuleje!”
and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 Akunnungu ŵapele kila jumo chiwalo cheleu ni cheswela ni kwasalila kuti apunde kulindilila kwa moŵa kanandi mpaka pachamalile kuulajikwa achikapolo achinjao ni achalongo achinjao mpela yatite kuulajikwa ŵanyawo.
And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, which should be killed even as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 Nipele naiweni mwanangondolo paŵachimatukwile chimatilo cha sita, kwaliji ni chindendemesi chachikulungwa cha chilambo, lyuŵa lyatendekwe lyepiliu ŵii, ni lwesi lwatendekwe lwechejeu nti miasi.
And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
13 Ni ndondwa syagwile pachilambo, chisau chitela cha ntini yachikuti pakulakatisya isogosi yakwe yangakomala paukupukunyikwa ni mbungo jajikulungwa.
and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs, when she is shaken of a great wind.
14 Kumaunde kwaŵiligwe mpela mpasa ni kutyochekwa. Itumbi yose ni ilumba yose chisejechekwe kutyochela kwiuto kwakwe.
And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 Mamwenye ŵa pachilambo, achakulu ni achakulungwa ŵa ngondo ni ŵandu ŵa kusichila ni ŵandu ŵa machili ni kapolo jwalijose ni mundu jwangaŵa kapolo, ŵalisisile mmbugu ni pasikati ja lwala syasili mmatumbi.
And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 Achigasalilaga matumbi ni lwala kuti, “Ntugwilile ni kutusisa kuti tukaloleka paujo pa ngope ja ŵelewo ŵakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye ni lutumbilo lwa Mwanangondolo!
and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 Pakuŵa lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya lutumbilo lwao liiche. Ana ŵaani uchakombole kulama?”
for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?
