Revelation 6
1 I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
Panyuma pakendi ndalabona Mwana Mbelele usa kamatula cando cakutanguna pa bidindo bisa bisanu ne bibili, kayi ndalanyumfwa cimo ca bya buyumi kacolobesheti kutatala kwa mfula kacambeti, “Kwesa!”
2 Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
Mpondalalangishisha, ndalabona lihaki lituba. Walikuba watantapo walikukute buta, kayi walapewa ngowani ya bwami, walikuya kulangaula balwani kwambeti abakome.
3 When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
Lino kayi Mwana Mbelele mpwalamatula cidindo ca tubili, ndalanyumfwa ca buyumi ca cibili naco kacambeti, “Kwesa!”
4 Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
Lihaki nalimbi lyalabonekela, lifubela. Watantapo walapewa ngofu sha kuleta nkondo pa cishi ca panshi kwambeti bantu bashinanenga. Walapewa cibeshi cinene.
5 When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
Mwana Mbelele mpwalamatula cidindo ca butatu, ndalanyumfwa cabuyumi ca butatu naco kacambeti, “Kwesa!” Ndalalangishisha kayi ndalabona lihaki lishipa. Watantapo walikukute bipimo bibili mu makasa.
6 I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
Ndalanyumfwa maswi alikufuma pakati pa bya buyumi bina, alikwambeti, “Cikopo ca bunga bwa maila celane ne malipilo amuntu a pabusuba, kayi bikopo bitatu bya bunga bwa mancebele byelane ne malipilo a muntu a pabusuba. Nomba kotelekesha kononga bitondo byamaolifi nambi bya mavaini.”
7 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
Mwana Mbelele mpwalamatula cidindo ca cina, ndalanyumfwa cabuyumi ca cina kacambeti, “Kwesa!”
8 This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
Ndalabona lihaki lyacisefu lyakoka. Watantapo walikukwiweti, Lufu, naco cishi ca bantu bafwa calikonka pepi. Walapewa ngofu shakushina cibela cimo ca bibela bina ca bantu ne banyama ku nkondo, kunsala kayi ne ku malwashi ne kubanyama. (Hadēs g86)
9 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
Lino ibi mpobyalapwa Mwana Mbelele walamatula cidindo ca busanu, ndalabona mishimu ya bantu panshi pa nteme, balashinwa cebo ca kukambauka maswi a Lesa ne kwinshila bukamboni mwakushomeka.
10 They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
Yalompololeti, “Mwami wa ngofu shonse waswepa kayi wakubinga! Nipakapite cindi citali cilyeconi ca kwisa kombolosha bantu pa cishi ca panshi ne kupa cisubulo abo balatushina?”
11 [God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
Bonse balapewa minjila ituba ne kubambileti, “Bapumwine kwa kacindi kang'ana kwambeti mpaka mwelo wacibelengelo ukakwane wa basebenshi banabo ne bashomeka banabo belela kushinwa mbuli naboyo ncebalashinwa.”
12 I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] like blood.
Kayi popelapo ndalabona Mwana Mbelele kamatula cidindo ca cisanu ne cimo. Lino kwalesa mutuntumo wa inshi, lisuba lyalashipeti cikwisa ca shilika, nawo mwenshi walafubeleti milopa.
13 The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
Nyenyenshi shalalukumuka panshi eti cikute kullukumuka nkuyu shibesu ku citondo cilanyukanwanga ne lukupwe lwangofu.
14 The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
Namo mwilu muma kumbi mwalapetwa petwa eti ncakute kupetwa mapepala. Milundu ne nsumbu shalafuma mposhalikuba.
15 [As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
Neco, bami bapacishi capanshi ne bendeleshi ne bamakulene ba nkondo ne bakute buboni, bakute ngofu, ne bantu bonse, basha pamo ne bonse ne abo babula kuba basha. Bonse nibakasolame mu maceni a mabwe mu milundu.
16 They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
Nibakasenge milundu ne mabwe kwambeti, “Kamutufwekelelako mutusoleke katutaboneka ku menso a uyo wekala pa cipuna ne kubukalu bwa Mwana Mbelele!”
17 This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
Ee, busuba buyosha bwa Lesa ne Mwana mbelele bwakupa cisubulo bulashiki, sena pali naba umo eti akabule kupewa cisubulo?
