< Revelation 7 >
1 And after these things I saw four angels, who stood on the four corners of the earth; and they held the four winds of the earth, so that the wind blew not on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on the trees.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, ne ndaba bamalayika bana nga bayimiridde ku njuyi ennya ez’ensi, nga bakutte empewo ennya ez’ensi zireme okukunta, waleme kubaawo mpewo ekunta ku nsi, wadde ku nnyanja wadde ku muti gwonna.
2 And I saw another angel, and he came up from the rising of the sun; and he had the seal of the living God; and he called out, with a loud voice, to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying:
Ne ndaba malayika omulala ng’ava ebuvanjuba ng’akutte akabonero k’envumbo aka Katonda omulamu, n’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba bamalayika abana abaali baweereddwa obuyinza okwonoona ensi n’ennyanja nti,
3 Hurt ye not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.
“Temukola kintu kyonna, ekinaayonoona ensi, n’ennyanja oba emiti, okutuusa nga tumaze okuteeka akabonero k’envumbo ka Katonda akakulu ku byenyi by’abaweereza ba Katonda waffe.”
4 And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed from every tribe of Israelites.
Awo ne mpulira omuwendo gw’abo abaateekebwako akabonero k’envumbo nga baali emitwalo kkumi n’ena mu enkumi nnya okuva mu bika ekkumi n’ebibiri ebya Isirayiri.
5 Of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed: of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand:
Ab’omu kika kya Yuda omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Lewubeeni omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Gaadi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri,
6 of the tribe of Ashur, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand:
ab’omu kika kya Aseri omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Nafutaali omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Manaase omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri,
7 of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand:
ab’omu kika kya Simyoni omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Leevi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Isakaali omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri,
8 of the tribe of Zebulon, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand.
ab’omu kika kya Zebbulooni omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Yusufu omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ab’omu kika kya Benyamini omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri. Abo be baateekebwako akabonero k’envumbo.
9 And after these things, I looked, and lo, a great multitude, which no one could number, from all kindreds, and nations, and tribes, and tongues; who stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne ndaba, era laba, ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene ennyo nga tebasoboka na kubalika, nga bava mu buli nsi na buli kika, na buli ggwanga na buli lulimi, nga bayimiridde mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka ne mu maaso g’Omwana gw’Endiga nga bambadde ebyambalo ebyeru nga balina n’enkindu mu ngalo zaabwe.
10 and they cried, with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, to him who sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb.
Ne boogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nga bagamba nti, “Obulokozi bwa Katonda waffe atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka era bwa Mwana gw’Endiga.”
11 And all the angels stood around the throne and the Elders and the four Animals; and they fell upon their faces before his throne, and worshipped God,
Awo bamalayika bonna ne bayimirira nga beetoolodde entebe ey’obwakabaka n’abakadde era n’ebiramu ebina, ne bavuunama mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka ng’ebyenyi byabwe biri wansi ne basinza Katonda.
12 saying: Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God, for ever and ever: Amen. (aiōn )
Ne bayimba nti, “Amiina! Okutenderezebwa, n’ekitiibwa, n’amagezi, n’okwebazibwa, n’ettendo, n’obuyinza, n’amaanyi, bibe eri Katonda waffe emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina!” (aiōn )
13 And one of the Elders turned, and said to me: These who are clothed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
Awo omu ku bakadde n’ambuuza nti, “Bano abambadde ebyambalo ebyeru obamanyi, era omanyi gye bava?”
14 And I said to him: My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who came from great affliction; and they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Ne nziramu nti. “Mukama wange, gw’omanyi.” N’aŋŋamba nti, “Bano be baayita mu kubonaabona okunene, ne bayoza ebyambalo byabwe ne babitukuza mu musaayi gw’Omwana gw’Endiga.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night, in his temple; and he who sitteth on the throne, will protect them:
Kyebavudde “babeera wano mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka eya Katonda nga bamusinza emisana n’ekiro mu Yeekaalu ye. Oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, anaaberanga nabo ng’abalabirira.
16 they will not hunger, nor thirst any more; nor will the sun fall on them, nor any heat.
Tebaliddayo kulumwa njala wadde ennyonta, newaakubadde omusana okubookya wadde ekyokya ekirala kyonna;
17 Because the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, will feed them; and will lead them to fountains of living water; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.
kubanga Omwana gw’Endiga ayimiridde mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka, y’anaabeeranga omusumba waabwe era y’anaabakulemberanga okubatwala eri ensulo ez’amazzi ag’obulamu. Era Katonda alisangula buli zziga mu maaso gaabwe.”
