< Revelation 6 >

1 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—Go!
Ningĩ nĩndonire ũcio Gatũrũme akĩmethũra gatembe ka mbere ga tũtembe tũrĩa mũgwanja twa mũhũra. Ngĩcooka ngĩigua kĩũmbe kĩmwe gĩa ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo gĩkiuga na mũgambo wagambaga ta marurumĩ atĩrĩ, “Ũka!”
2 And I saw, and lo! a white horse, —and he that was sitting thereon holding a bow; and there was given unto him a crown, and he went forth conquering, and that he might conquer.
Na niĩ ngĩrora, ngĩona mbarathi njerũ hau mbere yakwa! Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte aanyiitĩte ũta, nake akĩheo thũmbĩ, akiumĩra atariĩ ta mũtoorania werekeire o gũtoorania.
3 And, when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature, saying—Go!
Rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ga keerĩ, ngĩigua kĩũmbe kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo gĩa keerĩ kĩoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũka!”
4 And there went forth another, a red horse, —and, unto him that was sitting thereon, it was given, [unto him], to take away peace from the earth, and that, one another, they should slay; and there was given unto him a great sword.
Ningĩ gũkiumĩra mbarathi ĩngĩ, nayo yarĩ ndune mũno. Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte nĩaheetwo ũhoti wa kũniina thayũ kuuma thĩ, na atũme andũ mooragane. Nake akĩheo rũhiũ rwa njora rũnene.
5 And, when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature, saying—Go! And I saw, and lo! a black horse, and he that was sitting thereon holding a pair of balances in his hand.
Ningĩ rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ga gatatũ, ngĩigua kĩũmbe kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo gĩa gatatũ kĩoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũka!” Na niĩ ngĩrora, ngĩona mbarathi njirũ hau mbere yakwa! Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte aanyiitĩte ratiri na guoko gwake.
6 And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying—A quart of wheat for, a denary, and three quarts of barley, for a denary, —and, the oil and the wine, do not wrong.
Ningĩ ngĩigua kĩndũ kĩarurumire ta mũgambo ũkuuma gatagatĩ-inĩ ga ciũmbe icio inya irĩ muoyo, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩbaba kĩa ngano kiumage mũcaara wa mũthenya ũmwe, na ibaba ithatũ cia ngano ya cairi ciumage mũcara wa mũthenya ũmwe, no ndũgathũkie maguta kana ũthũkie ndibei!”
7 And, when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature, saying—Go!
Ningĩ rĩrĩa Gatũrũme aamethũrire gatembe ga kana-rĩ, ngĩigua mũgambo wa kĩũmbe kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo gĩa kana woiga atĩrĩ, “Ũka!”
8 And I saw, and lo! a livid horse, —and he that was sitting thereupon had for a name, Death, and, Hades, was following with him; and there was given unto them authority over the fourth of the earth, to slay with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
Na niĩ ngĩrora, ngĩona mbarathi theũku hau mbere yakwa! Ũrĩa wamĩhaicĩte-rĩ, eetagwo Gĩkuũ, nake Jehanamu aamumĩte thuutha, amũkuhĩrĩirie. Nao makĩheo ũhoti wa gwatha gĩcunjĩ kĩa inya gĩa thĩ, nĩguo mooragane na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro, o na ningĩ nyamũ iria ndĩani cia gĩthaka. (Hadēs g86)
9 And, when he opened the fifth seal, I saw, beneath the altar, the souls of them who had been slain because of the word of God and because of the witness which they held.
Ningĩ aamethũra gatembe ga gatano-rĩ, ngĩona hau rungu rwa kĩgongona maroho ma andũ arĩa mooragĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ngai, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũira ũrĩa maagwatĩirie.
10 And they cried out with a loud voice, saying—How long, O Sovereign, the Holy and True, dost thou not vindicate and avenge our blood from them that dwell upon the earth?
Nao magĩkaya na mũgambo mũnene, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, Wee mũtheru na wa ma, ũgũikara nginya rĩ ũtatuĩrĩire atũũri a thĩ ciira nĩguo ũrĩhĩrie thakame iitũ?”
11 And there was given to them, each one, a white robe, and it was bidden them, that they should rest yet a little while—until the number should be made full of their fellow-servants also, and their brethren, who were about to be slain as even, they.
Nao makĩheo o mũndũ nguo ndaaya ya rangi mwerũ, na makĩĩrwo meterere hanini, nginya mũigana wa ndungata iria maarutithanagia wĩra nacio ũhinge, na nĩo ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa maarĩ mooragwo o ta ũrĩa o mooragirwo.
12 And I saw, when he opened the sixth seal, that a, great earthquake, took place; and, the sun, became black as sackcloth of hair, and, the full moon, became as blood,
Ningĩ ngĩrora na ngĩona aamethũra gatembe ga gatandatũ. Nakuo gũkĩgĩa na gĩthingithia kĩnene. Narĩo riũa rĩkĩgarũrũka, rĩkĩira ta nguo ya ikũnia ĩtumĩtwo na guoya wa mbũri, naguo mweri wothe ũkĩgarũrũka, ũgĩtunĩha ta thakame,
13 and, the stars of heaven, fell to the earth, as, a fig-tree, sheddeth her winter figs, when, by a great wind, it is shaken,
nacio njata cia igũrũ ikĩgũa thĩ, o ta ũrĩa ngũyũ iria thaatu ciitĩkaga kuuma mũkũyũ-inĩ rĩrĩa wainainio nĩ rũhuho rũnene.
14 and, the heaven, was withdrawn, as a scroll rolling itself up, and, every mountain and island, out of their places, were shaken.
Narĩo igũrũ rĩkĩeherio o ta ũrĩa ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩkũnjagwo, nacio irĩma ciothe na icigĩrĩra ikĩeherio ikiuma kũndũ gwacio.
15 And, the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rulers of thousands, and the rich, and the mighty, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves within the caves and within the rocks of the mountains;
Nao athamaki a thĩ, na anene, na anene a thigari, na itonga, na andũ arĩa marĩ hinya, na ngombo ciothe, na andũ arĩa othe eyathi, makĩĩhitha ngurunga-inĩ, na gatagatĩ ka ndwaro cia mahiga ma irĩma.
16 and they say, unto the mountains and unto the rocks—Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb;
Nao nĩmeeraga irĩma na ndwaro cia mahiga atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩrei, mũtũhithe twehere ũthiũ-inĩ wa ũcio ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na kuuma kũrĩ mangʼũrĩ ma Gatũrũme!
17 Because the great day of their anger is come, and who is able to stand?
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũrĩa mũnene wa mangʼũrĩ mao nĩmũkinyu, nake nũũ ũngĩhota kũwĩtiiria?”
