1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Hata alipoifungua muhuri ya saba, kukawa kimya mbinguni kama muda wa nusu saa.
Trumpet Peals
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Nami nikawaona wale malaika saba wasimamao mbele za Mungu, nao wakapewa baragumu saba.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Na malaika mwingine akaja akasimama mbele ya madhabahu, mwenye chetezo cha dhahabu, akapewa uvumba mwingi, ili autie pamoja na maombi ya watakatifu wote juu ya madhabahu ya dhahabu, iliyo mbele ya kiti cha enzi.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Na moshi wa ule uvumba ukapanda mbele za Mungu pamoja na maombi ya watakatifu, kutoka mkononi mwa malaika.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Na huyo malaika akakitwaa kile chetezo, akakijaza moto wa madhabahu, akautupa juu ya nchi, kukawa radi na sauti na umeme na tetemeko la nchi.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Na wale malaika saba wenye baragumu saba wakajifanya tayari ili wazipige.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Malaika wa kwanza akapiga baragumu, kukawa mvua ya mawe na moto vilivyotangamana na damu, vikatupwa juu ya nchi; theluthi ya nchi ikateketea, na theluthi ya miti ikateketea, na majani mabichi yote yakateketea.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
Malaika wa pili akapiga baragumu, na kitu, mfano wa mlima mkubwa uwakao moto, kikatupwa katika bahari; theluthi ya bahari ikawa damu.
9 and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Wakafa theluthi ya viumbe vilivyomo baharini, vyenye uhai; theluthi ya merikebu zikaharibiwa.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
Malaika wa tatu akapiga baragumu, nyota kubwa ikaanguka kutoka mbinguni, iliyokuwa ikiwaka kama taa, ikaanguka juu ya theluthi ya mito, na juu ya chemchemi za maji.
11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Na jina lake ile nyota yaitwa Pakanga; theluthi ya maji ikawa pakanga, na wanadamu wengi wakafa kwa maji hayo, kwa kuwa yalitiwa uchungu.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Malaika wa nne akapiga baragumu, theluthi ya jua ikapigwa, na theluthi ya mwezi, na theluthi ya nyota, ili kwamba ile theluthi itiwe giza, mchana usiangaze theluthi yake, wala usiku vivyo hivyo.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Kisha nikaona, nikasikia tai mmoja akiruka katikati ya mbingu, akisema kwa sauti kuu, Ole, ole, ole wao wakaao juu ya nchi! Kwa sababu ya sauti zisaliazo za baragumu za malaika watatu, walio tayari kupiga.
