Revelation 5
1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals.
Kisha nikaona katika mkono wa kulia wa yule aliyekuwa amekaa katika kiti cha enzi, gombo lililoandikwa mbele na nyuma, na lilikuwa limetiwa mihuri saba.
2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to break its seals?"
Nilimwona malaika mwenye nguvu akihubiri kwa sauti kubwa, “Nani astahiliye kulifungua gombo na kuzivunja mihuri yake?”
3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look in it.
Hakuna mtu mbinguni au duniani au chini ya dunia aliyeweza kulifungua gombo au kulisoma.
4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in it.
Nililia kwa uchungu kwa kuwa hakupatikana yeyote aliyestahili kulifungua gombo au kulisoma.
5 One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Look, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so that he can open the scroll and loose its seven seals."
Lakini mmoja wa wazee akaniambia, “Usilie. Tazama! Simba wa kabila ya Yuda, shina la Daudi, ameshinda, na anaweza kulifungua gombo na mihuri yake saba.”
6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
Kati ya kiti cha enzi na wenye uhai wanne na miongoni mwa wazee, niliona mwanakondoo amesimama, akionekana kama aliye uawa. Alikuwa na pembe saba na macho saba - hizi ni roho saba za Mungu zilizotumwa duniani kote.
7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
Akaenda akalichukua gombo kutoka katika mkono wa kuume wa yule aliye kaa katika kiti cha enzi.
8 Now when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Alipolichukua gombo, wenye uhai wanne na wazee ishirini na wanne wakainama hadi nchi mbele ya mwanakondoo. Kila mmoja alikuwa na kinubi na bakuli ya dhahabu iliyojaa uvumba ambayo ni maombi ya waamini.
9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and redeemed for God with your blood those from every tribe, language, people, and nation,
Waliimba wimbo mpya: “Unastahili kulitwaa gombo na kuzifungua muhuri zake. Kwa kuwa ulichinjwa, na kwa damu yako ukamnunulia Mungu watu wa kila kabila, lugha, jamaa na taifa.
10 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on earth."
Ukawafanya ufalme na makuhani kwa ajili ya kumtumikia Mungu wetu, nao watatawala juu ya nchi.”
11 I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;
Kisha nilitazama na nikasikia sauti ya malaika wengi kuzunguka kiti cha enzi - idadi yao ilikuwa 200, 000, 000 na wenye uhai na wazee.
12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing."
Wakasema kwa sauti kuu, “Astahili mwanakondoo ambaye amechinjwa kupokea uwezo, utajiri, hekima, nguvu, heshima, utukufu, na sifa.”
13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever." (aiōn g165)
Nikasikia kila kilichoumbwa kilichokuwa mbinguni na duniani na chini ya nchi na juu ya bahari, kila kitu ndani yake kikisema, “Kwake yeye aketiye juu ya kiti cha enzi na kwa mwanakondoo, kuwe sifa, heshima, utukufu na nguvu ya kutawala milele na milele.” (aiōn g165)
14 The four living creatures were saying, "Amen." The elders fell down and worshiped.
Wenye uhai wanne wakasema, “Amina!” na wazee wakainama chini na kuabudu.
