¹Wakati azarura chisimbiso chichinomwe, kunyarara kukavapo kudenga kunenge sehafu yeora.

¹And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

²Ipapo ndakaona vatumwa vanomwe vamire pamberi paMwari; kukapiwa kwaari hwamanda nomwe.

²And I saw the seven angels that stand before God; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.

³Zvino mumwe mutumwa wakauya, akamira paaritari, ane mudziyo wezvinonhuhwira wendarama; kukapiwa kwaari zvinonhuhwira zvizhinji kuti azvipe pamwe neminyengetero yavatsvene vose pamusoro pearitari yendarama, yakange iri pamberi pechigaro cheushe.

³And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

⁴Uye utsi hwezvinonhuhwira hwakakwira pamberi paMwari hwuchibva muruoko rwomutumwa pamwe neminyengetero yavatsvene.

⁴And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

⁵Mutumwa akatora mudziyo wezvinonhuhwira, akauzadza nomoto wearitari, akaukandira panyika; ipapo kukavapo namanzwi nekutinhira nemheni nokudengenyeka kwenyika.

⁵And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

⁶Ipapo vatumwa vanomwe vakange vane hwamanda nomwe vakazvigadzirira kuridza.

⁶And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

⁷Mutumwa wekutanga wakaridza, kukauya chimvuramabwe nemoto zvakavhenganiswa neropa, zvikakandirwa panyika; nechetatu chemiti chikatsva, neuswa unyoro hwose hwakapiswa.

⁷And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

⁸Zvino mutumwa wechipiri wakaridza, chimwe segomo guru rinopfuta nemoto chikakandwa mugungwa. chetatu chegungwa ndokuva ropa;

⁸And 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;

⁹uye chetatu chezvisikwa zvakange zviri zvipenyu mugungwa chikafa, nechetatu chezvikepe chikaparadzwa.

⁹and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, [even] they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.

¹⁰Zvino mutumwa wechitatu wakaridza, kukawa nyeredzi huru kubva kudenga, ichipfuta semwenje, ikawira pamusoro pechetatu chenzizi nepamusoro pezvitubu zvemvura.

¹⁰And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters;

¹¹Zvino zita renyeredzi rakange richinzi, Gavakava; chetatu chemvura ndokuva gavakava, nevanhu vazhinji vakafa nemvura, nekuti yakange yavaviswa.

¹¹and 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.

¹²Zvino mutumwa wechina wakaridza, chetatu chezuva chikarohwa, nechetatu chemwedzi, nechetatu chenyeredzi, kuti chetatu chazvo chisvibiswe, uye kuti chetatu chemasikati chirege kuvhenekera, neusiku saizvozvo.

¹²And 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; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.

¹³Zvino ndakatarira, ndikanzwa mutumwa achibhururuka nepakati pedenga, achiti nenzwi guru: Mune nhamo, Mune nhamo, Mune nhamo, vagari vepanyika, nekuda kwemamwe manzwi ehwamanda evatumwa vatatu vachazoridza!

¹³And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for them that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound.
