1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Malaika wa tano akapiga baragumu, nikaona nyota iliyotoka mbinguni, imeanguka juu ya nchi; naye akapewa ufunguo wa shimo la kuzimu.
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.
Akalifungua shimo la kuzimu; moshi ukapanda kutoka mle shimoni kama moshi wa tanuru kubwa; jua na anga vikatiwa giza kwa sababu ya ule moshi wa shimoni.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Nzige wakatoka katika ule moshi, wakaenda juu ya nchi, wakapewa nguvu kama nguvu waliyo nayo nge wa nchi.
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.
Wakaambiwa wasiyadhuru majani ya nchi, wala kitu cho chote kilicho kibichi, wala mti wo wote, ila wale watu wasio na muhuri ya Mungu katika vipaji vya 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 striketh a man.
Wakapewa amri kwamba wasiwaue, bali wateswe miezi mitano. Na maumivu yao yalikuwa kama kuumwa na nge, aumapo mwanadamu.
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.
Na siku zile wanadamu watatafuta mauti, wala hawataiona kamwe. Nao watatamani kufa, nayo mauti itawakimbia.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Na maumbo ya hao nzige yalikuwa kama farasi waliowekwa tayari kwa vita, na juu ya vichwa vyao kama taji, mfano wa dhahabu, na nyuso zao zilikuwa kama nyuso za wanadamu.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Nao walikuwa na nywele kama nywele za wanawake. Na meno yao yalikuwa kama meno 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.
Nao walikuwa na dirii kifuani kama dirii za chuma. Na sauti ya mabawa yao ilikuwa kama sauti ya magari, ya farasi wengi waendao kasi vitani.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Nao wana mikia kama ya nge, na miiba; na nguvu yao ya kuwadhuru wanadamu miezi mitano ilikuwa katika mikia yao.
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 hath his name Apollyon.
Na juu yao wanaye mfalme, naye ni malaika wa kuzimu, jina lake kwa Kiebrania ni Abadoni, na kwa Kiyunani analo jina lake Apolioni.
12 One woe is past; and , behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Ole wa kwanza umekwisha pita. Tazama, bado ziko ole mbili, zinakuja baadaye.
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 akapiga baragumu, nikasikia sauti moja iliyotoka katika zile pembe za madhabahu ya dhahabu iliyo 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.
ikimwambia yule malaika wa sita aliyekuwa na baragumu, Wafungue nao malaika wanne waliofungwa kwenye mto mkubwa Frati.
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.
Wale malaika wanne wakafunguliwa, waliokuwa wamewekwa tayari kwa ile saa na siku na mwezi na mwaka, ili kwamba waue 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.
Na hesabu ya majeshi ya wapanda farasi ilikuwa elfu ishirini mara elfu kumi; nilisikia hesabu 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.
Hiyo ndivyo nilivyowaona hao farasi katika maono yangu, nao waliokaa juu yao, wana dirii kifuani, kama za moto, na za samawi, na za kiberiti; na vichwa vya farasi hao ni kama vichwa vya simba, na katika vinywa vyao hutoka moto na moshi na kiberiti.
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 wakauawa kwa mapigo matatu hayo, kwa moto huo na moshi huo na kiberiti hicho, yaliyotoka katika vinywa vyao.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Kwa maana nguvu za hao farasi ni katika vinywa vyao, na katika mikia yao; maana mikia yao ni mfano wa nyoka, ina vichwa, nao wanadhuru kwa hivyo.
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:
Na wanadamu waliosalia, wasiouawa kwa mapigo hayo, hawakuzitubia zile kazi za mikono yao, hata wasiwasujudie mashetani, na sanamu za dhahabu na za fedha na za shaba na za mawe na za miti, zisizoweza kuona wala kusikia wala kuenenda.
21 neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Wala hawakuutubia uuaji wao, wala uchawi wao, wala uasherati wao, wala wivi wao.
