Revelation 7
1 After this, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth, so that no wind should blow over the earth, or over the sea, or against any tree.
Thuutha wa ũguo ngĩona araika ana marũgamĩte ituri-inĩ iria inya cia thĩ, marigĩrĩirie huho iria inya cia thĩ nĩgeetha rũhuho o ruothe rũtikahurutane gũkũ thĩ, kana iria-inĩ rĩrĩa inene, o na kana mũtĩ-inĩ o wothe.
2 And, in the east, I saw another angel, ascending, holding the seal of the living God; and he cried in a loud voice to the four angels, to whom there had been given power to harm the earth and the sea –
Ngĩcooka ngĩona mũraika ũngĩ akĩambata oimĩte mwena wa irathĩro, arĩ na mũhũri wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo. Nake agĩĩta araika acio ana na mũgambo mũnene, acio maaheetwo ũhoti mathũkie thĩ na iria rĩrĩa inene, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
3 ‘Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.’
“Mũtigathũkie thĩ, kana iria, o na kana mĩtĩ, nginya tũkorwo tũrĩkĩtie gwĩkĩra ndungata cia Ngai witũ rũũri ithiithi-inĩ ciao.”
4 I heard, too, the number of those who had been sealed. It was one hundred and forty-four thousand; and they were from every tribe of the Israelites.
Ningĩ ngĩigua mũigana wa arĩa meekĩrirwo rũũri, nao maarĩ: 144,000 kuuma mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli.
5 From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
A mũhĩrĩga wa Juda arĩa meekĩrirwo rũũri maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi maarĩ 12,000,
6 from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Napthali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
na a mũhĩrĩga wa Asheri maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Nafitali maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Manase maarĩ 12,000,
7 from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
na a mũhĩrĩga wa Simeoni maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Lawi maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Isakaru maarĩ 12,000,
8 from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
na a mũhĩrĩga wa Zebuluni maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Jusufu maarĩ 12,000, na a mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini maarĩ 12,000.
9 After this, in my vision, I saw a vast throng which no one could number, of people from every nation and of all tribes, and peoples, and languages. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, robed in white, holding palm branches in their hands.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio ngĩcooka ngĩrora, na hau mbere yakwa-rĩ, ngĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩtangĩtarĩka nĩ mũndũ, kĩa andũ moimĩte ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe, na maarĩ a mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na iruka ciothe, na thiomi ciothe, marũgamĩte mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na mbere ya Gatũrũme. Nao meehumbĩte nguo ndaaya cia rangi mwerũ, na makanyiita makĩndũ na moko.
10 And they are crying in a loud voice – ‘Salvation be ascribed to our God who is seated on his throne and to the Lamb.’
Nao maanagĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene makoiga atĩrĩ: “Kũhonokania nĩ kwa Ngai witũ, ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na gwa Gatũrũme.”
11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four creatures, and they prostrated themselves on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God,
Nao araika acio othe maarũgamĩte mathiũrũrũkĩirie gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene, na magathiũrũrũkĩria athuuri acio na ciũmbe icio inya irĩ muoyo. Nao magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ hau mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, makĩhooya Ngai,
12 saying – ‘Amen. Blessing and praise, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.’ (aiōn g165)
Makiugaga atĩrĩ: “Ameni! Ũgooci, na riiri, na ũũgĩ, na ngaatho, na gĩtĩĩo na ũhoti, na hinya, irotũũra na Ngai witũ tene na tene. Ameni!” (aiōn g165)
13 Then one of the elders turned to me and said ‘Who are these who are robed in white? And where did they come from?’
Na rĩrĩ, ũmwe wa athuuri acio akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya mehumbĩte nguo ndaaya cia rangi mwerũ nĩ a, na moimĩte kũ?”
14 ‘My Lord,’ I answered, ‘it is you who know.’ ‘These,’ he said, ‘are they who come through the Great Persecution; they washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.
Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, nĩwe ũũĩ.” Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩ arĩa moimĩte mĩnyamaro-inĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene; nao nĩmathambĩtie nguo ciao na magacierũhia na thakame ya Gatũrũme.
15 And therefore it is that they are before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his Temple; and he who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, “rĩu maikaraga mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Ngai, na mamũtungatagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake; nake ũrĩa ũikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene egũtũũra atambũrũkĩtie hema yake igũrũ rĩao.
16 Never again will they be hungry, never again will they be thirsty, nor will the sun smite them, nor any scorching heat;
Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ magaacooka kũhũũta; na matigacooka kũnyoota. Matigacinwo rĩngĩ nĩ riũa, o na kana nĩ ũrugarĩ mũhiũ o na ũrĩkũ.
17 for the Lamb that stands in the space before the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to life-giving springs of water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.’
Nĩgũkorwo Gatũrũme ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ ga gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũrĩithi wao; nĩakamatongoria, amakinyie ithima-inĩ cia maaĩ ma muoyo. Nake Ngai nĩakamagiria maithori mothe mathire maitho-inĩ mao.”
