< Revelation 4 >

1 After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this."
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 look, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne.
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 who sat there looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
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 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
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 came flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven torches of fire 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 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
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 The first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like 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 The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come."
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 give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, (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 fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, (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 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, 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.”
