Revelation 7
1 After this, I saw four messengers, standing at the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the land, or upon the sea, or upon any tree.
Gakapiteje genega, gunaabhweninji ashimalaika nsheshe bhali bhajimingenenje nndumba nsheshe ya shilambolyo, bhaliibhilanga mbungo nsheshe ya shilambolyo, nkupinga panapagwe mbungo ja puga pa shilambolyo, na pantundu bhaali, wala panani nkongo gogowe.
2 And I saw another messenger, ascending from the rising of the sun, holding the seal of the Living God; and he cried out with a loud voice unto the four messengers unto whom it had been given to injure the land and the sea,
Nigunimmwene malaika juna aliikwela kukopoka kulikoposhela lyubha, ali na lulembo lwa a Nnungu bhakwete gumi. Nigwabhashemilenje kwa lilobhe lya utiya ashimalaika nsheshe bhapegwilwenje mashili ga kushiangabhanya shilambolyo na bhaali alinkuti,
3 saying—Do not injure the land, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.
“Nnashiangabhanyanje shilambolyo wala bhaali, na wala mikongo, mpaka pushitubhishe lulembo pa shenyi sha kila ntumishi jwa a Nnungu bhetu.”
4 And I heard the number of the sealed, —a hundred and forty-four thousand, —sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: —
Penepo nigumbilikene ishabhu ja bhabhishilwenje lulembo, yani bhandunji 144,000 kukoposhela ku makabhila gowe ga Ishilaeli.
5 Of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand sealed, of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,
Kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Yuda bhandunji 12,000, kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Lubheni bhandunji 12,000, kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Gadi bhandunji 12,000,
6 Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,
kukoposhela kulikabhila lya a Asheli bhandunji 12,000, kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Naputali bhandunji 12,000, kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Menashi bhandunji 12,000,
7 Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,
kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Shimoni bhandunji 12,000, kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Lawi bhandunji 12,000, kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Ishakali bhandunji 12,000,
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand, sealed.
kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Shabhuloni bhandunji 12,000, kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Yoshepu bhandunji 12,000, na kukoposhela ku likabhila lya a Bhenjamini bhandunji 12,000.
9 After these things, I saw, and lo! a great multitude, —which, to number it! no one was able, —of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and palm-branches in their hands; —
Gakapiteje genega, gunilibhweni likuga lya bhandunji lyangakombola mundu kubhalanganya. Bhandunji kukoposhela kila shilambo, na bha kila likabhila, na bha kila shipinga, na bhandunji bha kila ulongo, na bha kila shibheleketi. Bhajimingenenje mmujo ja shitengu sha upalume, na mmujo jika Mwana Ngondolo, bhali bhawetenje nngubho yanawe na bhali bhakamwilenje maagala ga mitende mmakono gabhonji.
10 and they cry out with a loud voice, saying—Salvation unto our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb!
Na bhene bhanganyabho bhatendaga utiyanga lilobhe bhalinkutinji, “Ntapulo ukoposhela kwa a Nnungu bhetu, bhaatama pa shitengu sha upalume na kuka Mwana Ngondolo!”
11 And, all the messengers, were standing round about the throne and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God,
Na ashimalaika bhowe, gubhajimingenenje kutimbilila shitengu sha upalume shila, na bhanangulungwa makumi gabhili na nsheshe, na yene iumbe nsheshe ikwete gumi ila. Nigubhagwilenje namanguku mmujo ja shene shitengu sha upalume nikwaatindibhalila a Nnungu,
12 saying—Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might, —be unto our God, unto the ages of ages. [Amen]! (aiōn g165)
bhalinkutinji, Amina, yani Nneyo Peyo! Kuiniywa, na ukonjelo, na lunda, na tenda eja, na ishima, na kukombola, na mashili, ibhe kwa a Nnungu bhetu piti piti Amina. (aiōn g165)
13 And one of the elders began, saying unto me—These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they?
Penepo jumo munkumbi gwa bhene makumi gabhili na nsheshe bhala, nigubhamushiye, bhene bhawetenje nngubho yanawebha ni ashi gani, na bhaakoposhelanga kwei?
14 And I at once said to him—My lord! thou, knowest! And he said unto me—These, are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb;
Nigunaajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe mmumanyi.” Na bhalabho nigubhamalanjile, “Bhanganyabha ni bhakoposhelenje nshilaje sha punda, na bhashapilenje nngubho yabhonji mminyai jika Mwana Ngondolo, nikuitenda ibhe yanawe kaje.
15 For this cause, are they before the throne of God, and are rendering divine service unto him, day and night, in his sanctuary; and he that sitteth upon the throne shall spread his tent over them;
Kwa nneyo, bhanajimangana mmujo ja shitengu sha upalume, nkwaakamulila a Nnungu maengo, shilo na mui Nniekalu lyabho. Na bhene bhaatama pa shitengu sha upalume, shibhaabhikanje muulinda kwa kwaunishilanga liema lyabho.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither in any wise shall the sun fall upon them, nor any burning heat;
Bhakakolanga shibhanga kabhili, wala nnjota. Lyubha likaabhalilanga, na wala lyoto likaabhabhulilanga.
17 Because, the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne, shall shepherd them, and shall lead them unto life’s fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear out of their eyes.
Pabha Mwana Ngondolo ali pakatipakati shitengu sha upalume shaabhe nshunga jwabhonji, jwalakwe shaabhalongoyanje ku shinjweshwe sha mashi gakwete gumi. Na a Nnungu shibhaaungutanje minyoi jowe mmeyo gabhonji.”
