Chiyubunuzyo 8

1 Lino mwana wambelele wakajula chijazyo chamusanu atubili, kwakaba kumunisya kujulu kwachipanzi chahola.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2 Mpawo ndakabona bangelo balimusanu ababili kabayimvwi kunembo lyaLeza amyeembo ilimusanu ayibili yakapegwa mbabo.

And I saw seven Angels standing in the sight of God. And seven trumpets were given to them.

3 Awumwi mungelo wakaza, kanyampwide kapeyili kangolida katununkilizyo, kayimvwi kuchipayilo chatununkilizyo. Tununkilizyo twiingi twakapegwa nguwe kuti atupe nkombyo yabantu baLeza boonse basalala achipayililo changolida kunembo lyachuuno chabulemu.

And another Angel approached, and he stood before the altar, holding a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he might offer upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God, the prayers of all the saints.

4 Busi bwatununkilizyo - ankombyo zaybantu baLeza basalala - bwakanyampuka kunembo lyaLeza kuzwa mumaboko amungelo.

And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended, in the presence of God, from the hand of the Angel.

5 Mungelo wakabweza kapeyili katununkilizyo akukazuzya mulilo kuzwa achipayililo. Mpawo wakawalila ansi anyika, alimwi kwakali mpatumpatu zyandabe, mubbalubbal, kumweka kwatulabi, amuzuzumo wanyika.

And the Angel received the golden censer, and he filled it from the fire of the altar, and he cast it down upon the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquake.

6 Bangelo balimusanu ababili bakali amyeembo ilimusana ayibili bakalibambila kuti bayilizye.

And the seven Angels who hold the seven trumpets prepared themselves, in order to sound the trumpet.

7 Mungelo mutanzi wakalizya mweembo wakwe alimwi kwakaba bulmu amulilo uvwelene abulow. Wakabwalilwa ansi anyika, alimwi akuti chisela chatatu chawo chakawumpigwa. Chisela chatatu chamisamu chakawumpigwa, amasokwe matyetye woonse akumpigwa.

And the first Angel sounded the trumpet. And there came hail and fire, mixed with blood; and it was cast down upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned, and a third part of the trees was entirely burned up, and all the green plants were burned.

8 Mungelo wabili wakalizya mweembo wakwe, alimwi chimwi chintu chilimbuli chiluundu chipati chiyaka mulilo chakawalilwa mulwizi.

And the second Angel sounded the trumpet. And something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast down into the sea. And a third part of the sea became like blood.

9 Chisela chatatu chazilenge zipona chakafwa achisela chatatu chabwato chakapazigwa.

And a third part of the creatures that were living in the sea died. And a third part of the ships were destroyed.

10 Mungelo watatu wakalizya mweembo wakwe, alimwi nyenyeezi mpati yakawa kuzwa kujulu, kibayima mbuli lampi, kuchisela chatatu chamilonga ameenda amutusawu.

And the third Angel sounded the trumpet. And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch. And it fell upon a third part of the rivers and upon the sources of water.

11 Izina lyanyenyezi eyo litegwa chisamu chikasala. Chisela chatatu chameenda chakaba chisamu chikasala, abantu bingi bakazwa bakajigwa ameenda alweela.

And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third part of the waters were turned into wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 Mungelo wane wakalizya mweembo wakwe, alimwi chisela chatatuchazuba chakawumvwa, mbuli chisela chatatu chamweezi achisela chatatu chanyenyezi. Chisela chatatu chazimwi chakasizigw, chisela chatatu chabuzuba achisela chatatu chamansiku techakachili amumuni.

And the fourth Angel sounded the trumpet. And a third part of the sun, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars were struck, in such a way that a third part of them was obscured. And a third part of the day did not shine, and similarly the night.

13 Ndakalanga alimwi ndakamvwa chikwangala amwi malembe alabbla liti mungelomuchindi chakuti chikwangala. Oyo wakali kuluuka atata kayita ajwi pati, “' Mawe, mawe, mawe kulabo bapona anyika nkaambo kamweembo ichede yamba kulizigwa abangelo batatu.”

And I saw, and I heard the voice of a lone eagle flying through the midst of heaven, calling with a great voice: “Woe, Woe, Woe, to the inhabitants of the earth, from the remaining voices of the three Angels, who will soon sound the trumpet!”
