Revelation 4
1 After this I looked, and beholde, a doore was open in heauen, and the first voyce which I heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with mee, saying, Come vp hither, and I will shewe thee things which must be done hereafter.
Baada ya mambo hayo nilitazama, nami nikaona mbele yangu mlango uliokuwa wazi mbinguni. Nayo ile sauti niliyokuwa nimeisikia hapo mwanzo ikisema nami kama tarumbeta ikasema, “Njoo, huku, nami nitakuonyesha yale ambayo hayana budi kutokea baada ya haya.”
2 And immediatly I was rauished in the spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heauen, and one sate vpon the throne.
Ghafula nilikuwa katika Roho, na hapo mbele yangu kilikuwepo kiti cha enzi mbinguni, kikiwa kimekaliwa na mtu.
3 And he that sate, was to looke vpon, like vnto a iasper stone, and a sardine, and there was a rainbowe rounde about the throne, in sight like to an emeraude.
Aliyekuwa amekikalia alikuwa anaonekana kama yaspi na akiki. Kukizunguka kile kiti cha enzi palikuwa na upinde wa mvua ulioonekana kama zumaridi.
4 And round about the throne were foure and twentie seates, and vpon the seates I sawe foure and twentie Elders sitting, clothed in white raiment, and had on their heads crownes of golde.
Kukizunguka hicho kiti cha enzi palikuwa na viti vingine vya enzi ishirini na vinne, na juu ya hivyo viti walikuwa wameketi wazee ishirini na wanne. Walivaa mavazi meupe, na walikuwa na taji za dhahabu vichwani mwao.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, and thundrings, and voyces, and there were seuen lampes of fire burning before the throne, which are the seuen spirits of God.
Kwenye kile kiti cha enzi palikuwa panatoka miali ya umeme wa radi, ngurumo na sauti za radi. Mbele ya kiti cha enzi, taa saba zilikuwa zinawaka. Hizi ndizo roho saba za Mungu.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glasse like vnto chrystall: and in the middes of the throne, and round about the throne were foure beasts full of eyes before and behinde.
Pia mbele ya kiti cha enzi palikuwa na kile kilichoonekana kama bahari ya kioo, iliyokuwa angavu kama bilauri. Katikati, kukizunguka kile kiti cha enzi, kulikuwa na viumbe wanne wenye uhai, wakiwa wamejawa na macho mbele na nyuma.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calfe, and the thirde beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying Eagle.
Kiumbe wa kwanza mwenye uhai alikuwa kama simba, wa pili alikuwa kama ngʼombe dume, wa tatu alikuwa na uso kama wa mwanadamu, na wa nne alikuwa kama tai anayeruka.
8 And the foure beasts had eche one of them sixe wings about him, and they were full of eyes within, and they ceased not day nor night, saying, Holy, holy, holy Lord God almighty, Which Was, and Which Is, and Which Is to come.
Kila mmoja wa hawa viumbe wanne wenye uhai alikuwa na mabawa sita, na kujawa na macho pande zote hadi chini ya mabawa. Usiku na mchana hawaachi kusema:
9 And when those beasts gaue glorie, and honour, and thanks to him that sate on the throne, which liueth for euer and euer, (aiōn g165)
Kila mara viumbe hao wanne wenye uhai wanapomtukuza, kumheshimu na kumshukuru yeye aketiye kwenye kile kiti cha enzi, tena aishiye milele na milele, (aiōn g165)
10 The foure and twentie Elders fell downe before him that sate on the throne and worshipped him that liueth for euermore, and cast their crownes before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
wale wazee ishirini na wanne huanguka mbele zake aketiye kwenye kiti cha enzi na kumwabudu yeye aliye hai milele na milele. Huziweka taji zao mbele ya kiti cha enzi, wakisema: (aiōn g165)
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receiue glory and honour, and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy wils sake they are, and haue beene created.
“Bwana wetu na Mungu wetu, wewe unastahili kupokea utukufu na heshima na uweza, kwa maana ndiwe uliyeviumba vitu vyote, na kwa mapenzi yako viliumbwa na vimekuwako.”
