< Revelation 5 >
1 I saw the one sitting on the throne holding a scroll in his right hand. The scroll was written on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
Mme ka bona lokwalo lo lo mennweng mo let sogong je legolo la yo o neng a ntse mo setilong sa bogosi, lokwalo lo kwadilwe mo teng le ka fa morago, e bile lo kaneletswe ka dikano di supa.
2 I saw a powerful angel shouting in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
Moengele yo o nonofileng a goa ka lentswe le legolo a botsa potso e, a re, “Ke mang yo o nonofileng go ka kanolola dikano tse di mo lokwalong lo, le go lo menolola?”
3 Nobody in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.
Mme go ne go se ope mo legodimong lotlhe, kgotsa mo lefatsheng kgotsa mo baswing yo o neng a letleletswe go lo bula le go lo bala.
4 I cried many tears because nobody could be found who was worthy to open the book and read it.
Hong ka lela ka maswabi a magolo gonne go ne go se ope gope yo o neng a na le tshwanelo; go ne go sena ope yo o ka re bolelelang se lo se buang.
5 One of the elders spoke to me and said, “Don't cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the descendant of David, has won the battle and can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Mme mongwe wa bagolwane ba ba masome a mabedi le bone a nthaya a re, “Lesa go lela, gonne bona! Tau ya lotso lwa Juda, Modi wa ga Dafide, o fentse, ebile o itshupile a nonofile go bula lokwalo le go kanolola dikano tsa lone tse supa!”
6 I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been killed standing in the center by the throne and the four living creatures, among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes that are the seven Spirits of God that are sent out to all the earth.
Ka leba mme ka bona Kwana e eme foo fa pele ga bagolwane ba ba masome a mabedi le bone, fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi le fa pele ga ditshedi, mo go Kwana go ne go na le dintho tse di kileng tsa dira loso lwa gagwe. O ne a na le dinaka di supa le matlho a supa, tse di emetseng Mewa e supa ya Modimo e e rometsweng mo ntlheng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe.
7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one that sat on the throne.
A sutelela kwa pele a tsaya lokwalo lo lo mennweng mo letsogong je legolo la yo o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi.
8 When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the believers.
Mme ya re a tsaya lokwalo, bagolwane ba ba masome a mabedi le bone ba obama fa pele ga Kwana, mongwe le mongwe ka harepa le ka mabotlolo a gauta a tletse maswalo, dithapelo tsa batho ba Modimo!
9 They sang a new song, “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you redeemed for God people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
Ba ne ba mo opelela sefela se sesha ka mafoko a. “O nonofile go tsaya lokwalo o lo kanolola o bo o lo bula; gonne o ne wa tlhajwa, mme madi a gago a rekile batho mo morafeng mongwe le mongwe e le dimpho tsa Modimo.
10 You made them into a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
Mme o ba phuthetse mo bogosing mme wa ba dira baperesiti ba Modimo wa rona; ba tlaa busa lefatshe.”
11 As I looked I heard the voices of millions of angels around the throne, together with the living creatures and the elders,
Hong mo ponatshegelong ya me ka utlwa moopelo wa didikadike tsa baengele ba dikaganyeditse setilo sa bogosi le ditshedi le bagolwane:
12 shouting loudly together: “The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive authority, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing.”
Ba opelela kwa godimo ba re, “Kwana e nonofile, Kwana e e neng e tlhabilwe. E tshwanetswe ke go amogela nonofo, le mahumo le botlhale, le thata, le tlotlego, le kgalalelo, le tshegofatso.”
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, in the sea—every creature everywhere—replying: “To the one who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, honor, glory, and authority, for ever and ever.” (aiōn )
Mme foo ka utlwa mongwe le mongwe mo legodimong le mo lefatshing, le mo baswing ka fa tlase ga lefatshe mo teng ga lewatle, ba goa ba re, “Tshegofatso le tlotlo le kgalalelo le nonofo ke tsa yo o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi, le kwa go Kwana ka metlha le metlha.” (aiōn )
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Mme ditshedi tse nne tsa tswelela di ntse di re, “Amen!” Mme bagolwane ba ba masome a mabedi le bone ba wela fa fatshe ba mo obamela.
