¹Na Mwanakondoo alipouvunja mhuri wa saba, kukawa kimya mbinguni kwa muda wa nusu saa.

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

²Kisha nikawaona wale malaika saba wanaosimama mbele ya Mungu wamepewa tarumbeta saba.

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

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.

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

⁵Kisha malaika akakichukua hicho chetezo, akakijaza moto wa madhabahuni akakitupa duniani. Kukawa na ngurumo, sauti, umeme na tetemeko la ardhi.

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.

⁶Kisha wale malaika saba wenye tarumbeta saba wakajiweka tayari kupiga mbiu ya mgambo.

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

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.

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.

⁸Malaika wa pili akapiga tarumbeta yake. Na kitu kama mlima mkubwa unaowaka moto ukatupwa baharini. Theluthi moja ya bahari ikawa damu,

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;

⁹theluthi moja ya viumbe vya baharini vikafa na theluthi moja ya meli zikaharibiwa.

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.

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.

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;

¹¹(Nyota hiyo inaitwa "Uchungu.") Basi, theluthi moja ya maji yakawa machungu; watu wengi wakafa kutokana na maji hayo, kwa sababu yaligeuka kuwa machungu.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
