Revelation 5
1 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
Kisha nikaona katika mkono wa kulia wa yule aliyekuwa amekaa katika kiti cha enzi, gombo lililoandikwa mbele na nyuma, na lilikuwa limetiwa mihuri saba.
2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
Nilimwona malaika mwenye nguvu akihubiri kwa sauti kubwa, “Nani astahiliye kulifungua gombo na kuzivunja mihuri yake?”
3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.
Hakuna mtu mbinguni au duniani au chini ya dunia aliyeweza kulifungua gombo au kulisoma.
4 And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
Nililia kwa uchungu kwa kuwa hakupatikana yeyote aliyestahili kulifungua gombo au kulisoma.
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Lakini mmoja wa wazee akaniambia, “Usilie. Tazama! Simba wa kabila ya Yuda, shina la Daudi, ameshinda, na anaweza kulifungua gombo na mihuri yake saba.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Kati ya kiti cha enzi na wenye uhai wanne na miongoni mwa wazee, niliona mwanakondoo amesimama, akionekana kama aliye uawa. Alikuwa na pembe saba na macho saba - hizi ni roho saba za Mungu zilizotumwa duniani kote.
7 And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.
Akaenda akalichukua gombo kutoka katika mkono wa kuume wa yule aliye kaa katika kiti cha enzi.
8 When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Alipolichukua gombo, wenye uhai wanne na wazee ishirini na wanne wakainama hadi nchi mbele ya mwanakondoo. Kila mmoja alikuwa na kinubi na bakuli ya dhahabu iliyojaa uvumba ambayo ni maombi ya waamini.
9 And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Waliimba wimbo mpya: “Unastahili kulitwaa gombo na kuzifungua muhuri zake. Kwa kuwa ulichinjwa, na kwa damu yako ukamnunulia Mungu watu wa kila kabila, lugha, jamaa na taifa.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
Ukawafanya ufalme na makuhani kwa ajili ya kumtumikia Mungu wetu, nao watatawala juu ya nchi.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels and living creatures and elders encircling the throne, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.
Kisha nilitazama na nikasikia sauti ya malaika wengi kuzunguka kiti cha enzi - idadi yao ilikuwa 200, 000, 000 na wenye uhai na wazee.
12 In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
Wakasema kwa sauti kuu, “Astahili mwanakondoo ambaye amechinjwa kupokea uwezo, utajiri, hekima, nguvu, heshima, utukufu, na sifa.”
13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!” (aiōn g165)
Nikasikia kila kilichoumbwa kilichokuwa mbinguni na duniani na chini ya nchi na juu ya bahari, kila kitu ndani yake kikisema, “Kwake yeye aketiye juu ya kiti cha enzi na kwa mwanakondoo, kuwe sifa, heshima, utukufu na nguvu ya kutawala milele na milele.” (aiōn g165)
14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Wenye uhai wanne wakasema, “Amina!” na wazee wakainama chini na kuabudu.
