Ufunuo 8
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Na Mwanakondoo alipouvunja mhuri wa saba, kukawa kimya mbinguni kwa muda wa nusu saa.
1When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2Kisha nikawaona wale malaika saba wanaosimama mbele ya Mungu wamepewa tarumbeta saba.
2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.
3Malaika mwingine akafika, akiwa anachukua chetezo cha dhahabu, akasimama mbele ya madhabahu ya kufukizia ubani. Naye akapewa ubani mwingi autoe sadaka pamoja na sala za watu wote wa Mungu, juu ya madhabahu ya dhahabu iliyo mbele ya kiti cha enzi.
3Then another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.
4Moshi wa ubani ukapanda juu, pamoja na sala za watu wa Mungu, kutoka mikononi mwake huyo malaika aliyekuwa mbele ya Mungu.
4And the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel.
5Kisha malaika akakichukua hicho chetezo, akakijaza moto wa madhabahuni akakitupa duniani. Kukawa na ngurumo, sauti, umeme na tetemeko la ardhi.
5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; and there were peals of thunder, and rumblings, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
6Kisha wale malaika saba wenye tarumbeta saba wakajiweka tayari kupiga mbiu ya mgambo.
6And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
7Malaika wa kwanza akapiga tarumbeta yake. Mchanganyiko wa mvua ya mawe na moto, pamoja na damu, ukamwagwa juu ya nchi. Theluthi moja ya nchi ikaungua, theluthi moja ya miti ikaungua, na majani yote mabichi yakaungua.
7Then the first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass.
8Malaika wa pili akapiga tarumbeta yake. Na kitu kama mlima mkubwa unaowaka moto ukatupwa baharini. Theluthi moja ya bahari ikawa damu,
8Then 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 turned to blood,
9theluthi moja ya viumbe vya baharini vikafa na theluthi moja ya meli zikaharibiwa.
9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10Kisha malaika wa tatu akapiga tarumbeta yake. Na nyota kubwa ikiwaka kama bonge la moto, ikaanguka kutoka mbinguni, na kutua juu ya theluthi moja ya mito na chemchemi za maji.
10Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11(Nyota hiyo inaitwa “Uchungu.”) Basi, theluthi moja ya maji yakawa machungu; watu wengi wakafa kutokana na maji hayo, kwa sababu yaligeuka kuwa machungu.
11The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters.
12Kisha malaika wa nne akapiga tarumbeta yake. Ndipo theluthi moja ya jua, ya mwezi na ya nyota ikapata pigo; hata mwangaza ukapoteza theluthi moja ya mng'ao wake. Theluthi moja ya mchana ikakosa mwanga, hali kadhalika na theluthi moja ya usiku.
12Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun and moon and stars were struck. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well.
13Kisha nikatazama, nikasikia tai akiruka juu kabisa angani anasema kwa sauti kubwa, “Ole, ole, ole kwa wanaoishi duniani wakati malaika watatu waliobaki watakapopiga tarumbeta zao!”
13And as I observed, I heard an eagle flying overhead, calling in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the remaining three angels!”
