Chiunukuko 4
1 Pakumala kugaona gelego, nauweni nnango weugule kwinani. Ni liloŵe linalipikene kundanda lilyapikaniche mpela lipenga lichitiji, “Nkwele akuno, none chinannosye indu yachiikopochele mmbujo.”
After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard [is] as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, 'Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;'
2 Papopo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanongwesye une. Nachiweni chitengu cha umwenye kwinani kula ni jumo atemi pa chitengu chila.
and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne is [one] sitting,
3 Juŵatemi pa chitengu jula jwang'alime mpela liganga lya alumasi ni mpela liganga lyakusalala lyechejeu lya akiki. Ukunje wa ula wanyesime mpela liganga lya chisamba lyalikuŵilanjikwa sumalidi uli usyungwile chitengu cha umwenye chila mbande syose.
and He who is sitting was in sight like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like an emerald.
4 Paliji ni itengu ine ya chimwenye ishilini na nne iyachisyungwile achila chitengu cha umwenye. Ni pa itengu yo ŵatemi achachekulu ishilini na nne. Ŵawete iwalo yeswela ni pa mitwe jao indu mpela singwa yaikolochekwe ni sahabu.
And around the throne [are] thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns of gold;
5 Pa chitengu cha umwenye po pakopokaga kumesya ni ilindimo ni njasi. Paujo pa chitengu cha umwenye chila pakolelaga imuli saba, yeleyo ikulosya mbumu saba sya Akunnungu.
and out of the throne proceed do lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God,
6 Sooni paujo pa chitengu cha umwenye chila kwaliji ni chindu chichawonekaga mpela litanda lilyakolochekwe ni lindala, chichanyesimaga nnope mpela ligilasi. Achila chitengu cha umwenye chichaliji pambindikati, chaliji chesyungule ni yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche yegumbale meeso paujo ni kunyuma.
and before the throne [is] a sea of glass like to crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and round the throne, [are] four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind;
7 Chepanganyikwe chandanda chalandene ni lisimba ni chepanganyikwe chaaŵili mpela ng'ombe jamwana ni chepanganyikwe chaatatu chalandene ni mundu ni chepanganyikwe chancheche chaliji mpela kapungu jwakuguluka.
and the first living creature [is] like a lion, and the second living creature [is] like a calf, and the third living creature hath the face as a man, and the fourth living creature [is] like an eagle flying.
8 Yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche yo, kila chimo chana mapapiko sita, ni igumbele meeso mbande syose mpaka kuusi kwa ipapiko, nombe nganileka kuŵecheta muusi ni chilo ichitiji: “Ŵaswela, ŵaswela, ŵaswela, Ambuje Akunnungu ŵaali ni ukombole wose, ŵaali ŵaŵaliji ni ŵachaiche.”
And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had six wings, around and within [are] full of eyes, and rest they have not day and night, saying, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;'
9 Yepanganyikwe yejumi yo ikwimba nyiimbo sya kwakusya ni kwalapa ni kwatogolelo ŵelewo ŵakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye, ŵelewo ŵaali ŵajumi moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour, and thanks, to Him who is sitting upon the throne, who is living to the ages of the ages, (aiōn g165)
10 Ni paikutenda yeleyo, achachekulu ishilini na nne ŵala akuligoneka manguku pa sajo sya ŵelewo ŵakutama pachitengu cha umwenye, ni akwapopelela ŵele ŵakutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ŵaŵikaga indu yao yaili mpela singwa paujo pa chitengu cha umwenye achitiji: (aiōn g165)
fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 “Nkuŵajilwa mmwe Ambuje ŵetu ni Akunnungu ŵetu, kupochela lumbili ni luchimbichimbi ni machili, pakuŵa alakwe ni umwaipanganyisye yose yaili, ni kwa kusaka kwenu indu yose yapanganyikwe ni ipali.”
'Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power, because Thou — Thou didst create the all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were created.'
