Chivumbulutso 5

1 Kenaka ndinaona buku mʼdzanja la wokhala pa mpando waufumu uja. Bukulo linali lolembedwa mbali zonse ndipo linali lomatidwa ndi zomatira zisanu ndi ziwiri.

And I saw lying in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written on both sides and closely sealed with seven seals.

2 Ndipo ndinaona mngelo wamphamvu akulengeza ndi mawu okweza kuti, “Ndani ali woyenera kumatula zomatira ndi kufutukula bukuli?”

And I saw a mighty angel who was exclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?"

3 Koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe kumwamba kapena pa dziko lapansi kapena kunsi kwa dziko lapansi woti afutukule bukulo kapena kuona zamʼkati mwake.

But no one in Heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or look into it.

4 Ndinalira kwambiri chifukwa panalibe amene anapezeka woyenera kufutukula bukuli kapena kuona zamʼkati mwake.

And while I was weeping bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the book or look into it,

5 Tsono mmodzi mwa akuluakulu aja anati kwa ine, “Usalire! Taona, Mkango wa fuko la Yuda, Muzu wa Davide, wapambana. Iye angathe kufutukula bukuli ndi kumatula zomatira zisanu ndi ziwirizo.”

one of the Elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion which belongs to the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed, and will open the book and break its seven seals."

6 Kenaka ndinaona Mwana Wankhosa akuoneka ngati wophedwa atayimirira pakatikati pa mpando waufumu uja ndi zamoyo zinayi zija ndi akuluakulu aja. Mwana Wankhosayo anali ndi nyanga zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi maso asanu ndi awiri omwe ndi Mizimu isanu ndi iwiri ya Mulungu yomwe anayitumiza ku dziko lonse lapansi.

Then, midway between the throne and the four living creatures, I saw a Lamb standing among the Elders. He looked as if He had been offered in sacrifice, and He had seven horns and seven eyes. The last-named are the seven Spirits of God, and have been sent far and wide into all the earth.

7 Iye anabwera natenga buku lija limene linali mʼdzanja lamanja la wokhala pa mpando waufumuyo.

So He comes, and now He has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who is seated on the throne.

8 Ndipo atalitenga, zamoyo zinayi zija ndi akuluakulu 24 aja anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa Mwana Wankhosa. Aliyense wa akuluakuluwo anali ndi zeze ndiponso mbale zagolide zodzaza ndi lubani. Lubaniyo ndi mapemphero a oyera mtima.

And when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four Elders fell down before the Lamb, having each of them a harp and bringing golden bowls full of incense, which represent the prayers of God's people.

9 Ndipo ankayimba nyimbo yatsopano yakuti, “Inu ndinu woyenera kulandira bukuli ndi kumatula zomatira zake, chifukwa munaphedwa, ndipo magazi anu munagulira Mulungu anthu a fuko lililonse, a chiyankhulo chilichonse, ndi mtundu uliwonse.

And now they sing a new song. "It is fitting," they say, "that Thou shouldst be the One to take the book And break its seals; Because Thou hast been offered in sacrifice, And hast purchased for God with Thine own blood Some out of every tribe and language and people and nation,

10 Inu munawasandutsa kukhala mtundu waufumu ndi ansembe otumikira Mulungu, ndipo adzalamulira dziko lapansi.”

And hast formed them into a Kingdom to be priests to our God, And they reign over the earth."

11 Kenaka nditayangʼananso ndinamva mawu a angelo ambiri, miyandamiyanda kuchulukitsa ndi miyandamiyanda. Anazungulira mpando waufumu pamodzi ndi zamoyo zija ndi akuluakulu aja.

And I looked, and heard what seemed to be the voices of countless angels on every side of the throne, and of the living creatures and the Elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

12 Ndipo angelowo anayimba ndi mawu ofuwula akuti, “Mwana Wankhosa amene anaphedwayu ndi woyenera kulandira ulamuliro, chuma, nzeru, mphamvu, ulemu, ulemerero ndi mayamiko.”

and in loud voices they were singing, "It is fitting that the Lamb which has been offered in sacrifice should receive all power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."

13 Kenaka ndinamva mawu a cholengedwa chilichonse kumwamba, pa dziko lapansi, kunsi kwa dziko lapansi, pa nyanja ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo zikuyimba kuti, “Kwa wokhala pa mpando waufumu ndi kwa Mwana Wankhosa, kukhale mayamiko, ulemu, ulemerero ndi mphamvu (aiōn g165)

And as for every created thing in Heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and everything that was in any of these, I heard them say, "To Him who is seated on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be ascribed all blessing and honor And glory and might, Until the Ages of the Ages!" (aiōn g165)

14 Zamoyo zinayi zija zinati: “Ameni,” ndipo akuluakulu aja anadzigwetsa pansi napembedza.

Then the four living creatures said "Amen," and the Elders fell down and worshipped.
