Chiunukuko 5
1 Nipele nachiweni chitabu mu nkono wa kunlyo wa jwelejo jwakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye, chilembekwe nkati ni paasa pakwe ni kuugalikwa kwakulimba ni imatilo saba.
And I saw upon the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll, written inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.
2 Sooni nammweni katumetume jwa kwinani jwali ni machili ali nkuŵilanga kwakunyanyisya achitiji, “Ana ŵaani ŵakuŵajilwa kumatukula imatilo ni kuchiunukula chitabu?”
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”
3 Nambo nganapagwa mundu kwinani namose pa chilambo, namose paasi chilambo, juŵakombwele kuchiugula chitabu cho atamuno kuchilola chachilembekwe nkati mwakwe.
And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look at it.
4 None nalisile nnope ligongo nganapagwa mundu juŵawoneche kuti jwakuŵajilwa kuchiugula chitabu atamuno kuchilola chachilembekwe nkati mwakwe.
And I began to really weep, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.
5 Nipele jumo jwa achachekulu ŵala ŵasalile, “Nkalila. Nnole! Lisimba lya lukosyo lwa Yuda, uŵelesi u che Daudi, ŵelewo ampundile Shetani ni kuŵajilwa kukutula imatilo saba ni kuchiugula chitabu.”
So one of the elders says to me: “Stop weeping! Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Nipele nammweni Mwanangondolo ajimi chiŵandi ni chitengu cha umwenye pasikati ja yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche ni achachekulu. Nombejo ŵaoneche nti jwammulajikwe, jwana misengo saba ni meeso saba, yaikulosya Mbumu saba sya Akunnungu syasitumikwe mchilambo chose.
And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing—as if slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7 Mwanangondolo ŵajawile ni kuchijigala chitabu chila ku nkono wa kunlyo wa ŵelewo ŵakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye chila.
And He went and took it out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne!
8 Paŵachijigele chitabu chila, yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche ila, pamo ni achachekulu ishilini na nne ŵala ŵagonile manguku paujo pa Mwanangondolo. Kila mundu akwete ching'wenyeng'wenye ni mbale sya sahabu syasigumbele ubani, gele ni mapopelo ga ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
And when He took the scroll the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 Nombewo ŵajimbile lujimbo lwa sambano achitiji: “Mmwe ni ŵankuŵajilwa kuchiunukula chitabu, ni kuitupula imatilo yakwe. Pakuŵa mwasikitwe, ni kwa miasi jenu mwawombolele Akunnungu ŵetu, ŵandu ŵa ngosyo ni ŵa ndimi ni ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose ni ŵa mitundu jajili jose.
And they sing a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals; because You were slaughtered, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and language and people and ethnic nation;
10 Mwatesile aŵe ŵambopesi mu umwenye wa Akunnungu kuti ŵatumichile, ni ŵanyawo chiŵaatawale ŵandu wose ŵa pa chilambo.”
and You have made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
11 Ni panapundile kulola, nagapilikene maloŵe ga achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵajinji nnope ŵangakuŵalanjika. Ŵajimi kuchisyungula chitengu cha umwenye pamo ni yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche ila ni achachekulu ŵala.
And I looked, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne and the living beings and the elders. And their number was ten thousand times ten thousand and a thousand thousands,
12 Ŵajimbaga kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa: “Mwanangondolo jwaulajikwe akuŵajilwa kupochela ukombole ni usichilo ni lunda ni machili ni luchimbichimbi ni ukulu ni lumbili.”
saying with a great voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive the power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 Naipilikene yepanganyikwe yose yaili kwinani ni pachilambo ni paasi pachilambo ni mu bahali ni yose yaili mwelemo naipilikene ilinkwimba: “Ukulu ni luchimbichimbi ni lumbili ni ukombole, uŵe kwa ŵelewo ŵakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye ni kwa Mwanangondolo moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi”. (aiōn g165)
And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and upon the sea (the existing places and the creatures in them)—I heard them all saying: “To Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb: the blessing and the honor and the glory and the power for ever and ever! Amen!” (aiōn g165)
14 Ni yepanganyikwe yejumi ncheche yo yatite, “Eloo!” Ni achachekulu ŵala ŵagonile manguku ni kwapopelela Mwanangondolo.
(It was the four living beings saying the “Amen”.) And the elders fell and did obeisance.
