< Chivumbulutso 4 >
1 Kenaka, nditayangʼana patsogolo panga ndinaona khomo lotsekuka la kumwamba. Ndipo liwu lija ndinalimva poyamba lokhala ngati lipenga linati, “Bwera kuno, ndipo ndidzakuonetsa zimene zichitike zikatha izi.”
After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard like a trumpet, speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show thee what must happen after these things.
2 Nthawi yomweyo ndinatengedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, ndipo patsogolo panga ndinaona mpando waufumu wina atakhalapo.
And straightaway I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and him sitting upon the throne
3 Ndipo amene anakhalapoyo anali wa maonekedwe ngati miyala ya jasipa ndi sardiyo. Utawaleza wooneka ngati simaragido unazinga mpando waufumuwo.
similar in appearance to a jasper and a sardius stone. And a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.
4 Kuzungulira mpando waufumuwu panalinso mipando ina yaufumu yokwana 24 ndipo panakhala akuluakulu 24 atavala zoyera ndipo anavala zipewa zaufumu zagolide pamutu.
And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones were sitting twenty-four elders clothed in white garments, and golden crowns upon their heads.
5 Kumpando waufumuwo kunkatuluka mphenzi, phokoso ndi mabingu. Patsogolo pake pa mpando waufumuwo panali nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri zoyaka. Iyi ndiyo mizimu isanu ndi iwiri ya Mulungu.
And out of the throne proceeds lightnings and voices and thunders. And seven lamps of fire burned before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Patsogolo pa mpando waufumu pomwepo panalinso ngati nyanja yagalasi yonyezimira ngati mwala wa krustalo. Pakatinʼpakati, kuzungulira mpando waufumuwo panali zamoyo zinayi zokhala ndi maso ponseponse, kutsogolo ndi kumbuyo komwe.
And before the throne was like a glassy sea similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and all around the throne, were four living creatures containing eyes in front and back.
7 Chamoyo choyamba chinali ngati mkango, chachiwiri chinali ngati mwana wangʼombe, chachitatu chinali ndi nkhope ngati munthu, chachinayi chinali ngati chiwombankhanga chowuluka.
And the first living creature was similar to a lion, and the second living creature was similar to a young bull, and the third living creature having a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was similar to a flying eagle.
8 Chamoyo chilichonse chinali ndi mapiko asanu ndi limodzi, ndipo chinali ndi maso ponseponse ndi mʼkati mwa mapiko momwe. Usana ndi usiku zimanena mosalekeza kuti,
And the four living creatures, one by one, each having six wings, are full of eyes around and inside. And they have no cessation day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, the Almighty God, he was, and who is, and who is coming.
9 Nthawi zonse zamoyozo zimapereka ulemerero, ulemu ndi mayamiko kwa uja wokhala pa mpando waufumu, amene ali ndi moyo wamuyaya. (aiōn )
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, he who lives into the ages of the ages, (aiōn )
10 Izi zikamachitika akuluakulu 24 aja amadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa wokhala pa mpando waufumuyo, namupembedza wokhala ndi moyo wamuyayayo. Iwo amaponya pansi zipewa zawo zaufumu patsogolo pa mpando waufumu nati: (aiōn )
the twenty-four elders would fall down before him who sits on the throne, and would worship him who lives into the ages of the ages, and would cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn )
11 “Ndinu woyeneradi kulandira ulemerero ndi ulemu ndi mphamvu, Ambuye ndi Mulungu wathu, pakuti munalenga zinthu zonse, ndipo mwakufuna kwanu zinalengedwa monga zilili.”
Thou are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy, to take the glory and the honor and the power, because thou created all things, and because by thy will they are, and were created.
