Zvakazarurwa 6

¹Zvino ndakavona Gwaiana richizarura chimwe chezvisimbiso zvinomwe, ndikanzwa chimwe chezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina chichiti nenzwi romutinhiro: Vuya uvone.And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

²Ndikatarira, ndikavona bhiza jena, naiye wakanga akaritasva, wakanga anovuta; akapiwa korona, akabuda achikunda, vuye kuti akunde.And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

³Wakati azarura chisimbiso chechipiri, ndikanzwa chisikwa chipenyu chechipiri chichiti: Vuya uvone.And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

⁴Ipapo rimwe bhiza rakabuda riri dzvuku; wakanga akaritasva akapiwa simba kuti abvise rugare panyika, kuti vavurayane; akapiwa munondo mukuru.And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

⁵Wakati azarura chisimbiso chechitatu, ndikanzwa chisikwa chipenyu chechitatu chichiti: Vuya uvone. Ndikatarira, ndikavona bhiza dema; wakanga akaritasva wakanga anechiyereso muruvoko rwake.And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

⁶Ndikanzwa inzwi pakati pezvisikwa zvipenyu zvina, richiti: Chiyero chezviyo chichatengwa nedenari+, nezviyero* zvitatu zvebhari nedenari+; usatadzira mafuta newaini.And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

⁷Wakati azarura chisimbiso chechina, ndikanzwa inzwi rechisikwa chipenyu chechina richiti: Vuya uvone.And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

⁸Ndikatarira, ndikavona bhiza rakachenuruka; wakanga akaritasva, zita rake Rufu; huye Hadhesi rakamutevera. Ivo vakapiwa simba pamusoro pechechina chenyika, kuti vavuraye nomunondo, nenzara, norufu, nezvikara zvenyika.And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

⁹Wakati azarura chisimbiso chechishanu, ndikavona panyasi pearitari mweya yavanhu vakanga vavurawa nokuda kweshoko raMwari, nokupupura kwavo kwavakapupura;And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

¹⁰vakadana nenzwi guru vachiti: Tenzi mutsvene wazvokwadi, mucharega kutonga vanogara panyika nokuvatsiva ropa redu kusvikira riniko?And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

¹¹Ipapo mumwe nomumwe wavo wakapiwa nguvo chena; vakavudzwa kuti vambozorora chinguva chiduku, kusvikira vamwe varanda pamwe chete navo nehama dzavo, dzaifanira kuvurawa saivo, varinganiswa vose.And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

¹²Zvino ndakavona pakuzarura kwake chisimbiso chechitanhatu, tarira kwakanga kunokudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru, zuva rikasviba segudza remvere, mwedzi wose ukaita seropa;And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

¹³nenyeredzi dzedenga dzikawira pasi, somuvonde unozuza maganga awo, kana uchizununguswa nomututu mukuru.And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

¹⁴Denga rikabva sebhuku, kana ichipetwa; namakomo ose nezviwi zvose zvakabviswa panzvimbo dzazvo.And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

¹⁵Namadzimambo enyika, navakuru, navatungamiriri vehondo, navafumi, navanesimba, navaranda vose, navakasununguka vose vakandovanda mumapako nomumambwe amakomo;And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

¹⁶vakati kumakomo nokumabwe: Tiwirei, mutivige pameso aiye unogara pachigaro chovushe, napakutsamwa kweGwaiana;And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

¹⁷nokuti zuva guru rokutsamwa kwaro rasvika; ndianiko unogona kumira?For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
