Obubonero bw’Envumbo

(A)Awo ne ndaba Omwana gw’Endiga ng’abembulula akamu ku bubonero bw’envumbo; ne mpulira ekimu ku biramu ebina nga kyogera n’eddoboozi eryawulikika ng’okubwatuka nga kigamba nti, “Jjangu!” (B)Ne ndaba, era laba, embalaasi enjeru, ng’agyebagadde alina omutego ogulasa akasaale; n’aweebwa engule n’agenda ng’awangula, n’awangulira ddala.

(C)Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akookubiri, ne mpulira ekiramu ekyokubiri nga kyogera nti, “Jjangu!” (D)Ne wavaayo embalaasi endala nga myufu, eyali agyebagadde n’aweebwa ekitala ekiwanvu, n’aweebwa n’obuyinza okuggyawo emirembe ku nsi, n’okuleeta entalo wakati w’abantu, battiŋŋane bokka na bokka.

(E)Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akokusatu ne mpulira ekiramu ekyokusatu nga kyogera nti, “Jjangu!” Era laba, ne ndaba embalaasi enzirugavu n’eyali agyebagadde ng’akutte minzaani mu mukono gwe. (F)Ne mpulira eddoboozi eryawulikika ng’eriva wakati w’ebiramu ebina nga ligamba nti, “Omugaati gumu gugula ddinaali, ne kilo y’obuwunga bwa sayiri nayo bw’eba egula, kyokka omuzigo n’envinnyo tobyonoona.”

(G)Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akookuna ne mpulira ekiramu ekyokuna nga kyogera nti, “Jjangu!” (H)Ne ndaba, era laba, embalaasi ey’erangi ensiiwuukirivu n’eyali agyebagadde ng’ayitibwa Walumbe, ne Magombe n’agenda naye. Ne baweebwa okufuga ekitundu ekyokuna eky’ensi, okutta n’ekitala, n’enjala, n’olumbe, n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku nsi.

(I)Bwe yabembulula akabonero k’envumbo akookutaano ne ndaba wansi w’ekyoto emyoyo egy’abo abattibwa olw’okubuulira ekigambo kya Katonda n’olw’okuba abeesigwa mu bujulizi bwabwe. 10 (J)Ne bakaabirira Mukama n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka nga bagamba nti, “Ayi Mukama, Omutukuvu era ow’amazima, onoosalira ddi abantu b’ensi omusango, n’owoolera eggwanga olw’omusaayi gwaffe?” 11 (K)Buli omu ku bo n’aweebwa ekyambalo ekyeru, era ne bagambibwa okugira nga bawummulako okutuusa baganda baabwe abalala era baweereza bannaabwe aba Yesu abaali bagenda okuttibwa, lwe balibeegattako.

12 (L)Awo ne ndaba ng’abembulula akabonero k’envumbo ak’omukaaga; ne wabaawo musisi ow’amaanyi ennyo, era enjuba n’eddugala n’efuuka nzirugavu ng’ekibukutu ekyakolebwa mu bwoya, n’omwezi gwonna ne gumyuka ng’omusaayi. 13 (M)Awo emmunyeenye ez’omu ggulu ne zigwa ku nsi ng’omutiini bwe gukunkumula emitiini egitanayengera olwa kibuyaga ow’amaanyi, 14 (N)n’eggulu ne lyezingako ng’omuzingo gw’ekitabo bwe gwezingazinga na buli lusozi na buli kizinga ne biggibwawo mu bifo byabyo.

15 (O)Bakabaka b’ensi, n’abafuzi ab’oku ntikko n’abantu abagagga, n’abakulu b’amaggye n’ab’amaanyi, na buli muddu n’ow’eddembe, ne beekweka mu mpuku ne mu njazi z’ensozi. 16 (P)Ne bagamba ensozi nti, “Mutugweko mutukweke mu maaso g’Oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, ne mu busungu bw’Omwana gw’Endiga. 17 (Q)Kubanga olunaku olukulu olw’obusungu bwabwe lutuuse era ani ayinza okugumira obusungu bwabwe!”

The Seals

I watched as the Lamb(A) opened the first of the seven seals.(B) Then I heard one of the four living creatures(C) say in a voice like thunder,(D) “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse!(E) Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown,(F) and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.(G)

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature(H) say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.(I) Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth(J) and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature(K) say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse!(L) Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures,(M) saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d](N) and do not damage(O) the oil and the wine!”

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature(P) say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse!(Q) Its rider was named Death, and Hades(R) was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.(S)

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under(T) the altar(U) the souls of those who had been slain(V) because of the word of God(W) and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long,(X) Sovereign Lord,(Y) holy and true,(Z) until you judge the inhabitants of the earth(AA) and avenge our blood?”(AB) 11 Then each of them was given a white robe,(AC) and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[e] were killed just as they had been.(AD)

12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake.(AE) The sun turned black(AF) like sackcloth(AG) made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth,(AH) as figs drop from a fig tree(AI) when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up,(AJ) and every mountain and island was removed from its place.(AK)

15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free,(AL) hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.(AM) 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us(AN) and hide us[f] from the face of him who sits on the throne(AO) and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day(AP) of their[g] wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”(AQ)
