Revelation 4
1 After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in the sky, and the first voice that I heard—as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must come to pass after these things”;
Baada ya hayo nilitazama nikaona mlango umefunguliwa mbinguni. Na ile sauti niliyoisikia pale awali ambayo ilikuwa kama sauti ya tarumbeta, ikasema, “Njoo hapa juu nami nitakuonyesha mambo yatakayotukia baadaye.”
2 and immediately I was in [the] Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in Heaven, and on the throne is [One] sitting,
Mara nikachukuliwa na Roho. Kumbe, huko mbinguni kuna kiti cha enzi na juu yake ameketi mmoja.
3 and He who is sitting was in appearance like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was around the throne in appearance like an emerald.
Huyo aliyeketi juu yake alikuwa kama almasi na jiwe zuri jekundu. Upinde wa mvua ulikuwa unang'aa kama zumaridi na ulikizunguka kiti cha enzi pande zote.
4 And around the throne [are] twenty-four thrones, and sitting on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders, having been clothed in white garments, and on their heads golden garlands;
Kulikuwa na duara la viti ishirini na vinne kukizunguka kiti cha enzi, na juu ya viti hivyo wazee ishirini na wanne walikuwa wameketi wamevaa mavazi meupe na taji za dhahabu vichwani.
5 and out of the throne proceed lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God,
Umeme, sauti na ngurumo, vilikuwa vinatoka kwenye hicho kiti cha enzi. Taa saba za moto zilikuwa zinawaka mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi. Taa hizo ni roho saba za Mungu.
6 and before the throne—a sea of glass like to crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne—four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind;
Mbele ya kiti cha enzi kulikuwa na kitu kama bahari ya kioo, angavu kama jiwe linga'aalo sana. Katika pande zote za hicho kiti cha enzi na kukizunguka, kilikuwa na viumbe hai vinne. Viumbe hivyo vilikuwa vimejaa macho mbele na nyuma.
7 and the first living creature—like a lion; and the second living creature—like a calf; and the third living creature has the face as a man; and the fourth living creature—like an eagle flying.
Kiumbe cha kwanza kulikuwa kama simba, cha pili kama ng'ombe, cha tatu kilikuwa na sura kama mtu, na cha nne kilikuwa kama tai anayeruka.
8 And the four living creatures, one by one of them had six wings respectively, around and within [are] full of eyes, and they have no rest day and night, saying, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, the LORD God, the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming”;
Viumbe hivyo vinne vilikuwa na mabawa sita kila kimoja, na vilikuwa vimejaa macho, ndani na nje. Usiku na mchana, bila kupumzika huimba: “Mtakatifu, mtakatifu, mtakatifu ni Bwana, Mungu Mwenye Uwezo, aliyekuwako, aliyeko na anayekuja!”
9 and when the living creatures give glory, and honor, and thanksgiving, to the [One] sitting on the throne, the [One] living through the ages of the ages, (aiōn g165)
Kila mara viumbe vinne vilipoimba nyimbo za kumtukuza, kumheshimu na kumshukuru huyo aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi, ambaye anaishi milele na milele, (aiōn g165)
10 the twenty-four elders will fall down before the [One] sitting on the throne, and worship the [One] living through the ages of the ages, and they will cast their garlands before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
wale wazee ishirini na wanne hujiangusha mbele ya huyo aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi na kumwabudu huyo ambaye anaishi milele na milele; na huziweka taji zao mbele ya kiti cha enzi wakisema: (aiōn g165)
11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power, because You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created.”
“Wewe ni Bwana na Mungu wetu, unastahili utukufu na heshima na nguvu; maana wewe uliumba vitu vyote, na kwa matakwa yako kila kitu kimepewa uhai na uzima.”
