< Revelation 5 >
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
Ningĩ ngĩona ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩrĩ guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa ũrĩa waikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene rĩandĩkĩtwo mĩena yeerĩ, na rĩahingĩtwo na gũcinĩrĩrwo na tũtembe mũgwanja twa mũhũra.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Ngĩcooka ngĩona mũraika warĩ na hinya mũno akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene akooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ mwagĩrĩru kũmethũra tũtembe tũtũ twa mũhũra, na ahingũre ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo?”
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
No gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe kũu igũrũ, kana gũkũ thĩ, o na kana rungu rwa thĩ ũngĩahotire kũhingũra ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo o na kana arĩrore thĩinĩ.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Na niĩ ngĩrĩra mũno tondũ gũtionekire mũndũ o na ũmwe mwagĩrĩru wa kũhingũra ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kana arĩrore thĩinĩ.
5 And one of the elders says to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmwe wa athuuri acio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũrĩra! Atĩrĩrĩ, Mũrũũthi ũrĩa wa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, Thuuna ĩrĩa ya Daudi-rĩ, nĩatooranĩtie. We arĩ na ũhoti wa kũhingũra ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, na amethũre tũtembe tũu mũgwanja twarĩo.”
6 And I beheld, and, see, in the middle of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Ningĩ ngĩona Gatũrũme arũgamĩte gatagatĩ ga gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nako kahaanaga ta gathĩnjĩtwo, gathiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo, na athuuri acio. Kaarĩ na hĩa mũgwanja na maitho mũgwanja, na nĩmo maroho mũgwanja ma Ngai marĩa matũmĩtwo mathiiage thĩ yothe.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
Nake ũcio Gatũrũme agĩthiĩ akĩoya ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa ũcio waikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
Na aarĩkia kũrĩoya-rĩ, ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo, na athuuri arĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana makĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya Gatũrũme. O ũmwe aarĩ na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto na maanyiitĩte mbakũri cia thahabu ciyũrĩte ũbumba, na nĩguo mahooya ma andũ arĩa aamũre.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Nao nĩmainire rwĩmbo rwerũ, makiuga atĩrĩ: “Wee nĩwe mwagĩrĩru wa kuoya ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, na kũmethũra tũtembe tũu twarĩo, tondũ wee nĩworagirwo, ũkĩgũrĩra Ngai andũ na thakame yaku kuuma mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na thiomi ciothe, na andũ othe, o na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
10 And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Wee nĩũmatuĩte andũ a ũthamaki na athĩnjĩri-Ngai a gũtungatagĩra Ngai witũ, nao magaathamaka gũkũ thĩ.”
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Ningĩ ngĩrora, na niĩ ngĩigua mũgambo wa araika aingĩ, mũigana wao warĩ ngiri na ngiri, na ngiri ikũmi maita ngiri ikũmi. Nao maathiũrũrũkĩirie gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo, na athuuri acio.
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
Nao mainaga na mũgambo mũnene, makoiga atĩrĩ: “Kwagĩrĩra nĩ Gatũrũme, karĩa kooragirwo, nĩguo kagĩe na ũhoti, na ũtonga, na ũũgĩ, na hinya, na gĩtĩĩo, na riiri, o na ũgooci!”
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be to him that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. (aiōn )
Ngĩcooka ngĩigua ciũmbe ciothe irĩ kũu igũrũ, na iria irĩ thĩ, na iria irĩ rungu rwa thĩ, na iria irĩ iria-inĩ, o na indo ciothe iria irĩ thĩinĩ wacio, ikĩina atĩrĩ: “Ũgooci, na gĩtĩĩo, na riiri, na ũhoti, irogĩa kũrĩ ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na kũrĩ Gatũrũme, nginya tene na tene!” (aiōn )
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever.
Nacio ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Ameni”, nao athuuri acio makĩĩgũithia thĩ, makĩhooya.
