< Revelation 4 >

1 After these things I saw, and behold, a door was opened in the heaven: and the first voice I heard was as of a trumpet speaking with me; saying; Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which it behooves to come to pass after these.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio ngĩrora, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa haarĩ na mũrango warĩ mũhingũre kũu igũrũ. Naguo mũgambo ũrĩa ndaiguĩte mbere ĩyo ũkĩnjarĩria, ũrĩa wagambaga ta coro, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũũke haha, na nĩngũkuonia maũndũ marĩa arĩ o nginya mageekĩka thuutha wa maũndũ maya.”
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, a throne was set in the heaven, and on the throne one sitting,
O rĩmwe ngĩkorwo ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa harĩ na gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kũu igũrũ, na nĩ harĩ na mũndũ wagĩikarĩire.
3 and the one sitting was in appearance like unto a jasper and a sardius stone: and a rainbow was around about the throne, in appearance like unto an emerald.
Nake ũcio wagĩikarĩire onekaga atariĩ ta ihiga rĩa mũthemba wa njathibi na wakiki. Naguo mũkũnga-mbura ũrĩa wonekaga ũhaana ta kahiga karĩa getagwo thumarati, nĩguo warigiicĩirie gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene.
4 And around about the throne were twenty-four thrones: and on the thrones twenty-four elders are sitting, clothed in white garments; and upon their heads golden crowns.
Nakĩo gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene nĩkĩarigiicĩirio nĩ itĩ ingĩ cia ũnene mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya, nacio ciaikarĩirwo nĩ athuuri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana. Athuuri acio meehumbĩte nguo njerũ na magekĩra thũmbĩ cia thahabu mĩtwe.
5 And from the throne lightnings and voices and thunders are going out; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God:
Hau gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene nĩhoimaga heni, na ngwa, na marurumĩ. Mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene haarĩ matawa mũgwanja maakanaga. Matawa macio nĩmo maroho marĩa mũgwanja ma Ngai.
6 and before the throne a glassy sea like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, are four living creatures filled with eyes in front and in the rear.
Ningĩ hau mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene nĩ haarĩ kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ta iria rĩa gĩcicio, narĩo rĩarĩ ikembu mũno, rĩkahaana o ta gĩcicio. Ningĩ hau gatagatĩ, gũthiũrũrũkĩria gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene, haarĩ na ciũmbe inya irĩ muoyo, nacio ciaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maitho mwena wa mbere, na wa na thuutha.
7 And the first living creature was like unto a lion, and the second living creature was like unto a bullock, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature was like unto a flying eagle.
Nakĩo kĩũmbe kĩa mbere kĩahaanaga ta mũrũũthi, na gĩa keerĩ kĩahaanaga ta ndegwa, na gĩa gatatũ kĩarĩ na ũthiũ watariĩ ta wa mũndũ, nakĩo gĩa kana gĩatariĩ ta nderi ĩkĩrera.
8 And the four living creatures having six wings, one opposite one of them; filled with eyes without and within; and they cease not day and night, saying; Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Omnipotent, who was, and who is, and who is the one coming.
O kĩũmbe kĩmwe gĩa ciũmbe icio inya irĩ muoyo kĩarĩ na mathagu matandatũ, nakĩo kĩaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maitho mwĩrĩ wothe o nginya rungu rwa mathagu ma kĩo. Mũthenya na ũtukũ itiatigithagĩria kuuga atĩrĩ:
9 And when the living creatures shall give glory and honor and thanksgiving to the one sitting upon the throne, who lives unto the ages of the ages, (aiōn g165)
Rĩrĩa rĩothe ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo ikũgooca, na igekĩrĩra, na igacookeria ngaatho ũcio ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, o ũcio ũtũũraga tene na tene-rĩ, (aiōn g165)
10 the twenty-four elders will fall down before the one sitting upon the throne, and will worship Him who lives unto the ages of the ages, and will cast their crowns before the throne, (aiōn g165)
nao athuuri acio mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana megũithagia thĩ mbere ya ũcio ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na makahooya ũcio ũtũũraga muoyo tene na tene. Maigaga thũmbĩ ciao mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene, makoiga atĩrĩ: (aiōn g165)
11 saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord truly our God, to receive glory and honor and power: because thou hast created all things, and through thy will they were, and were created.
“Wee Mwathani na Ngai witũ-rĩ, nĩwagĩrĩire kũgoocagwo, na gũtĩĩo, na kũgĩa na ũhoti, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wombire indo ciothe, nacio ciombirwo na ũndũ wa kwenda gwaku, na ikĩgĩa na muoyo.”
