Chiyubunuzyo 8

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

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

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

Then I saw the seven angels who stand before 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.

Another angel came, holding a golden incense bowl, standing at the incense altar. Much incense was given to him so that he would offer it with the prayers of all the saints on the golden incense altar before the throne.

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

The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the angel's hand.

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

The angel took the incense bowl and filled it with fire from the altar. Then he threw it down to the earth, and there were crashes of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

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

The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

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.

The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood. It was thrown down onto the earth so that a third of it was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

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

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

9 Chisela chatatu chazilenge zipona chakafwa achisela chatatu chabwato chakapazigwa.

a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third 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.

The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a huge star fell from the sky, blazing like a torch, on a third of the rivers and springs of water.

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

The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters that became 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.

The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, as well as a third of the moon and a third of the stars. So a third of them turned dark; a third of the day and a third of the night had no light.

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.”

I looked, and I heard an eagle that was flying overhead calling out with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe, to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that are about to be sounded by the three angels.”
