Revelation 5
1 And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, 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 strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who [is] worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?
Nilimwona malaika mwenye nguvu akihubiri kwa sauti kubwa, “Nani astahiliye kulifungua gombo na kuzivunja mihuri yake?”
3 And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.
Hakuna mtu mbinguni au duniani au chini ya dunia aliyeweza kulifungua gombo au kulisoma.
4 And I wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it.
Nililia kwa uchungu kwa kuwa hakupatikana yeyote aliyestahili kulifungua gombo au kulisoma.
5 And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome [so as] to open the book, 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 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [which are] sent 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 it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Akaenda akalichukua gombo kutoka katika mkono wa kuume wa yule aliye kaa katika kiti cha enzi.
8 And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, 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 sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of 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 and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.
Ukawafanya ufalme na makuhani kwa ajili ya kumtumikia Mungu wetu, nao watatawala juu ya nchi.”
11 And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands 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 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Wakasema kwa sauti kuu, “Astahili mwanakondoo ambaye amechinjwa kupokea uwezo, utajiri, hekima, nguvu, heshima, utukufu, na sifa.”
13 And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. (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 did homage.
Wenye uhai wanne wakasema, “Amina!” na wazee wakainama chini na kuabudu.
