< Revelation 7 >
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on the earth, on the sea, or on 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 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God. He cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who 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, the sea, or the trees until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
“Mũtigathũkie thĩ, kana iria, o na kana mĩtĩ, nginya tũkorwo tũrĩkĩtie gwĩkĩra ndungata cia Ngai witũ rũũri ithiithi-inĩ ciao.”
4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel.
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 Naphtali 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 Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and 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 I looked, and behold, there was a great multitude, which no one could number, from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes, with 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 They were crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the 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 stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before 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, glory, and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor, power and strength, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn )
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 )
13 In response one of the elders said to me, “Who are these people clothed in white robes, 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 I said to him, “Sir, yoʋ know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them 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 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over 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 They will hunger and thirst no more; the sun will certainly not beat down upon them, nor will 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 in the midst of the throne shepherds them; he leads them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear 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.”
