Revelation 9
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
Kisha malaika wa tano alipiga tarumbeta yake. Niliona nyota kutoka mbinguni iliyokuwa imeanguka kwenye dunia. Nyota ilipewa ufunguo wa shimo linaloelekea kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho. (Abyssos g12)
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
Alifungua shimo lisilo na kikomo, na moshi ukapanda juu kwa safu kutoka ndani ya shimo kama moshi kutoka katika tanuru kubwa. Jua na anga vilibadilika vikawa giza kwa sababu ya moshi uliotoka shimoni. (Abyssos g12)
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts on the earth: and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Ndani ya moshi nzige walitoka kuja juu ya dunia, nao walipewa nguvu kama ile ya nge juu ya dunia.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Waliambiwa kutokudhuru majani katika nchi au mmea wowote wa kijani au mti, isipokuwa tu watu ambao hawakuwa na muhuri wa Mungu katika paji za nyuso zao.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
Hawakupewa ruhusa ya kuwaua hao watu, bali kuwatesa tu kwa miezi mitano. Uchungu wao ulikuwa kama ule wa kuumwa na nge amwumapo mtu.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Katika siku hizo watu watatafuta kifo, lakini hawatakipata. Watatamani kufa, lakini kifo kitawakimbia.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like to horses prepared to battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Nzige walifanana na farasi walioandaliwa kwa vita. Kwenye vichwa vyao kulikuwa na kitu kama taji ya dhahabu na nyuso zao zilikuwa kama za binadamu.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Walikuwa na nywele kama za wanawake na meno yao yalikuwa kama ya simba.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Walikuwa na vifua kama vifua vya chuma na sauti ya mabawa yao ilikuwa kama sauti ya magari mengi ya vita na farasi wakimbiao kwenda vitani.
10 And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Walikuwa na mikia inayouma kama nge; katika mikia yao walikuwa na nguvu ya kudhuru watu kwa miezi mitano.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue has his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
Walikuwa naye kama mfalme juu yao malaika wa shimo lisilokuwa na mwisho. Jina lake katika Kiebrania ni Abadoni, na katika Kiyunani ana jina Apolioni. (Abyssos g12)
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Ole ya kwanza imepita. Angalia! Baada ya hili kuna maafa mawili yaja.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Malaika wa sita alipiga tarumbeta yake, na nikasikia sauti ikitoka katika pembe ya madhabahu ya dhahabu ambayo iko mbele za Mungu.
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Sauti ilimwambia malaika wa sita aliyekuwa na tarumbeta, “Waachie malaika wanne ambao wamefungwa katika mto mkubwa Efrata.”
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Malaika wale wanne waliokuwa wameandaliwa kwa saa hiyo maalumu, siku hiyo, mwezi huo, na mwaka huo, waliachiwa wawaue theluthi ya wanadamu.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Idadi ya maaskari waliokuwa juu ya farasi ilikuwa 200, 000, 000. Nilisikia idadi yao.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Hivi ndivyo nilivyoona farasi katika maono yangu na wale waliopanda juu yao: Vifua vyao vilikuwa vyekundu kama moto, bluu iliyoiva na njano isiyoiva. Vichwa vya farasi vilifanana na vichwa vya simba, na midomoni mwao ulitoka moto, moshi na salfa.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Theluthi ya wanadamu waliuawa na haya mapigo matatu: moto, moshi, na salfa iliyotoka katika midomo yao.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like to serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Kwa kuwa nguvu ya farasi ilikuwa katika midomo yao na katika mikia yao—kwa kuwa mikia yao ilikuwa kama nyoka, na walikuwa na vichwa ambavyo walitumia kuwatia majeraha wanadamu.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Watu waliobaki, wale ambao walikuwa hawajauawa na mapigo haya, hawakutubia matendo yao waliyokuwa wamefanya, wala hawakuacha kuabudu mapepo na miungu ya dhahabu, fedha, shaba, mawe na miti—vitu ambavyo haviwezi kuona, kusikia au kutembea.
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Wala hawakutubia uuaji wao, uchawi wao, uasherati wao au njia zao za wizi.
