< Revelation 5 >

1 Then I saw at the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a book, with writing inside and out, and sealed with seven seals;
Kangi nikalola chitabu muchiwoko cha kulyela cha mwenuyo mweatamili pachigoda cha unkosi, chene chayandikwi mugati na kuvala na kudindwa kwa munemu wenuwo na kudindwa kwa minemu saba? Vidindilu vya mnemu.
2 and I saw a mighty angel who was proclaiming in a loud voice – “Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?”
Nikalola mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mweavi na makakala ikemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Yani mweiyidakiliwa kugagandula chidindilu chitabu chenicho?”
3 But no one either in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the book or look within it.
Nambu avi lepi mundu yoyoha kunani kwa Chapanga amala pamulima amala pandima mweahotwili kudindula chitabu icho amala mweahotwili kuchilola mugati.
4 At this I wept long, because no one could be found who was worthy to open the book or look within it.
Hinu nene navembili neju ndava muni avi lepi mundu mweayidakiliwi kuchidindula, amala kuchilola mugati.
5 But one of the elders said to me – “Do not weep. The Lion conquered – the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Scion of David – and can therefore open the book with its seven seals.”
Kangi mmonga wa vagogo vala akanijovela, “Kotoka kuvemba! Lola Lihimba wa likabila la Yuda chiveleku cha Daudi, ahotwili. Mwene ihotola kugagandula vidindilu saba vya chitabu chenicho.”
6 Then, within the space between the throne and the four creatures, and in the midst of the elders, I saw, standing, a Lamb, which seemed to have been sacrificed. It had seven horns and seven eyes. (These eyes are the seven spirits of God, and they are sent into all the world.)
Kangi nikalola pagati ya chigoda cha Mwanalimbelele ayimili, atindilwi kila pandi na vala viumbi wumi mcheche na vagogo vala. Mwanalimbele uyo awonikini ngati ahinjiwi. Avili na mang'elu saba na mihu saba, ndi mipungu saba ya Chapanga zezapelikwi kila pandu pamulima.
7 The Lamb came forward; and he has taken the book from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.
Mwanalimbelele akahamba, akatola chitabu chila kuhuma muchiwoko cha kulyela cha yula mweatamili pachigoda cha unkosi.
8 And, when he had taken the book, the four creatures and the twenty-four elders prostrated themselves before the Lamb, each of them holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense. (These are the prayers of Christ’s people.)
Bahapo peamali kutola chitabu chenicho, vala viumbi wumi mcheche pamonga na vala vagogo ishilini na mcheche vakagwa chakukupama palongolo ya Mwanalimbelele. Kila mmonga avili na kanjeke na nkeve wa zahabu wewamemili ubani na, ndi mayupu ga vandu va Chapanga.
9 And they are singing a new song – “You are worthy to take the book and break its seals, for you were sacrificed, and with your blood you did buy for God people of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,
Hinu, vakayimba lunyimbu ulu lwa mupya, “Veve wiyidakiliwa kuchitola chitabu chenicho na kudindula vidindilu vyaki. Ndava muni veve uhinjiwi, na kwa ngasi yaku umsangwili Chapanga witu vandu kuhuma kila likabila, luga na lukolo vandu va kila mulima langi ya kila mundu.
10 and did make them a kingdom of priests in the service of our God, and they are reigning on the earth.”
Uvahengili unkosi wa vamteta vamhengela Chapanga witu, vene yati vilongosa mulima.”
11 Then, in my vision, I heard the voices of many angels round the throne, and of the creatures, and of the elders. In number they were ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands,
Panayendalili kulola, nikayuwana lwami lwa vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vamahele neju, vangavalangika. Vayimili kutindila chigoda cha unkosi, na viumbi wumi mcheche na vala vagogo,
12 and they cried in a loud voice – “Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive all power, and wealth, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and praise, and blessing.”
vakajova kwa lwami luvaha: “Mwanalimbelele mweahinjiwi ayidakiliwi kupokela, uhotola vindu vyamahele na luhala na makakala na ukulu ulumba na utopesa.”
13 And I heard every created thing in the air, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that is in them crying – “To him who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed all blessing, and honour, and praise, and dominion for ever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
Nikayuwana viumbi vyoha kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima na pahi ya mulima na nyanja, viumbi vyoha pamulima vikajova: “Kwa mwene mweitama pachigoda cha unkosi na kwa Mwanalimbelele, ivya ulumba na utopela na ukulu na unkosi na makakala magono goha gangali mwishu.” (aiōn g165)
14 And the four creatures said “Amen,” and the elders prostrated themselves and worshiped.
Vala viumbi wumi mcheche vakajova, “Ena!” Na vala vagogo vakagwa chakukupama, vakagundama.
