< Revelation 4 >
1 AFTER this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Shure kweizvi ndakaona, zvino tarira, mukova wakazaruka kudenga, nenzwi rekutanga randakanzwa rakaita serehwamanda richitaura neni, richiti: Kwira pano, ndigokuratidza zvinhu zvinofanira kuitika shure kweizvi.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Zvino pakarepo ndakava muMweya; zvino tarira, chigaro cheushe chakagadzwa kudenga, nepamusoro pechigaro cheushe umwe agere.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
Iye wakange agere pakuonekwa wakange akafanana nebwe rejasipisi nesadhio; nemurarabungu wakakomberedza chigaro cheushe waitaridzika sebwe reemaradhi.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Zvino zvigaro zveushe makumi maviri nezvina zvakange zvakakomberedza chigaro cheushe; nepazvigaro zveushe ndakaona vakuru makumi maviri nevana vagere, vakapfeka nguvo chena, uye vakange vane korona dzegoridhe pamisoro yavo.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Nepachigaro cheushe pakabuda mheni nekutinhira nemanzwi; nemwenje minomwe yemoto ichipfuta pamberi pechigaro cheushe, iri Mweya minomwe yaMwari.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Zvino pamberi pechigaro cheushe pakange pane gungwa regirazi, rakafanana nekrisitaro. Nepakati pechigaro cheushe nepakapoteredza chigaro cheushe pane zvisikwa zvina zvipenyu zvizere nemeso mberi neshure.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Zvino chisikwa chipenyu chekutanga chakange chakafanana neshumba, uye chisikwa chipenyu chechipiri chakafanana nemhuru, nechisikwa chipenyu chechitatu chakange chine chiso semunhu, nechisikwa chipenyu chechina chakange chakafanana negondo rinobhururuka.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
Nezvisikwa zvipenyu izvi chimwe nechimwe chakange chine mapapiro matanhatu mativi ese, nemukati zvakange zvizere nemeso; uye hazvizorori masikati neusiku, zvichiti: Mutsvene, mutsvene, mutsvene, Ishe Mwari, Wemasimbaose, wakange aripo, uye aripo, neachazouya.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn )
Zvino apo zvisikwa zvipenyu izvi pazvaimupa kubwinya nerukudzo nekuvongwa iye anogara pachigaro cheushe, iye anorarama kusvikira rinhi narinhi, (aiōn )
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn )
vakuru makumi maviri nevana vakazviwisira pasi pamberi peagere pachigaro cheushe ndokumunamata iye anorarama kusvikira rinhi narinhi, uye vachikandira korona dzavo pamberi pechigaro cheushe, vachiti: (aiōn )
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Makafanira, Ishe, kugamuchira kubwinya, nerukudzo, nesimba; nokuti ndimwi makasika zvinhu zvese, uye nekuda kwechido chenyu zviripo uye zvakasikwa.
