< Revelation 7 >
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.
Mme ka bona baengele ba le bane ba eme mo dikhutlong tse nne tsa lefatshe, ba tshwere diphefo tse nne gore di seka tsa foka, gore lekakaba lepe le se ka la nna le mokgwasa mo ditlhareng, mme lewatle la nna borethe jaaka galase.
2 And I saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Mme ka bona moengele yo mongwe a tswa kwa botlhaba, a tshotse sekano se segolo sa Modimo o o tshelang. Mme a goa baengele ba bane ba ba neng ba neetswe nonofo go tlhokofatsa lefatshe le lewatle, “Iketleng!
3 saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
Namang lo ise lo dire sepe, se tlhokofatseng lefatse kgotsa lewatle kgotsa ditlhare, go fitlhelela re se na go baya sekano sa Modimo mo diphatleng tsa batlhanka ba one.”
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel.
Ke ba le kae ba ba neetsweng lotshwao lo? Ke ne ka utlwa gotwe palo ya bone ke dikete di le lekgolo le masome a masome a mane le bone, mo ditsong tsotlhe tsa Iseraele tse di lesome le bobedi, jaaka di rulagantswe fa: Juda 12,000 Rubene 12,000, Gade 12,000, Ashe 12,000, Nafetali 12,000, Manasa 12,000, Simeone 12,000, Lefi 12,000, Isekare 12,000, Sebulane 12,000, Josefa 12,000, Benjamine 12,000.
5 Of the tribe of Judah [were] sealed twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand:
6 Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand:
7 Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand:
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of [all] tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
Morago ga mo ka bona bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa batho, bo le bogolo thata mo bo neng bo se ka ke jwa balwa, go tswa mo merafeng yotlhe le mo mafatshing le dipuo (diteme), bo eme fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi le fa pele ga Kwana, bo apere bosweu bo tshotse dikala tsa mokolane ka diatla.
10 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God which sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Mme ba ne ba goa mo go boitshegang ba re, “Poloko e tswa mo Modimong wa rona o o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi, le mo go Kwana.”
11 And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Mme jaanong baengele botlhe ba bo ba dikaganyeditse setilo sa bogosi le bagolwane le ditshedi tse nne, ba digile difatlhogo fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi ba obamela Modimo.
12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Ba re, “Amen! Pako, le kgalalelo, le botlhale, le malebogo, le tlotlo, le nonofo, le thata di nne go Modimo wa rona ka bosakhutleng. Amen!” (aiōn )
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These which are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
Hong mongwe wa bagolwane ba ba masome a mabedi le bone a mpotsa a re, “A o itse gore ba ke bo mang ba ba apereng bosweu le gore ba tswa kae?”
14 And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Ka re, “Nnyaa, Morena, tswee-tswee mpolelela.” A re, “Ba ke ba ba tswang mo pitlaganong e kgolo, ba tlhatswitse dikobo tsa bone, ba di sweufaditse ka madi a Kwana.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.
Ke gone ka moo ba leng fano fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi sa Modimo, ba mo direla bosigo le motshegare mo tempeleng ya gagwe. Yo o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi o tlaa ba sireletsa;
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat:
ga ba kitla ba tlhola ba tshwarwa ke tlala gape, kgotsa lenyora, mme ba tlaa sirelediwa ka botlalo mo mogoteng o o fisang wa letsatsi.
17 for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Gonne Kwana yo o emeng fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi o tlaa nna modisa wa bone a bo a ba etelela pele a ba isa kwa metsweding ya metse a Botshelo. Mme Modimo o tlaa phimola dikeledi tsa bone.”
