Revelation 5

1 I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} with seven seals.

U mi toh niwo korli uwo a son ni ruron'a mito vuvu wa ahe mi ha numi ni konbra naye vuvu wa ba nha ni koshishi ma, ba lowu ni lo tangban.

2 I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]

Mi toh kiekle Madauka si d'bu ngblome, ahi nha mla wa ani tdi bwu nye nvunvu nda mre loo ma?

3 But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.

Indji ri na he ni shulu ka ni meme ka ni mi meme a toh bwu nuunvu wa ba nyewu'a wa mba he nimi ma.

4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.

Mi yi wa kpukpo me wa bana fe ndji ri waani toh bwu ka kra nye nuunuu na.

5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”

Iri nimi bi nikon ba ahla nimu rimu, nayi na ya ichen (zaki) u grji Yahuza ivren Doda akpa ka; amble wu vuvu ni lu tagban mba

6 Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out into all the earth.

Mi to iver gru akri whie na kpachi nde bi re isie ni mi nikonmba, ahe na mbawu'a ahe ni iju tagban ni shishi tagban; Biyi mba ruhohi Rji tagban wa mba tun ye ni gbugblu.

7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.

Ahi nda kpa nuwo wa ason ni tun kpachi

8 When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.

Ni tan wa iver inkrju amba vuvu, bi re isie mba ninde ise ha mba jokun ni memen ni shishi iver krju. nde mba, mba he ni ngungu mbakyi mba bra bi ti ndidi

9 The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.

Mba yo se semai, iwu mumle waw'u mban vuvu ndi bwu lu mba hau, ni iyin me mba le nde Rji ni gbugblu wawu ilemen, nde ni he luntre.

10 You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] the earth.

Wu me mba bi chu ni firistoci wa mba wu Rji mbu, mba gji gbugblu.

11 As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].

Wa mi ya mi wo chrju malaiku bi bra wa mbahe ni kpachi ni bire bi nikon mba mba kyai dubbai goma sau dubbai goma da dubun dubbai.

12 They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”

Mba zu tre ndala wa atsra wer krju wa mba ha akpa gpegble (iko) ahewu itan, gpegble, nikon nigba inyeme.

13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)

Mi wo igpie wawu wa mba he shulu ni mema ni mi meme ni nei ni gpi tu kpachi ni wer krju gpiresan, ndidi akyara ni gpegble gji gbugblu, hi ni kikle. (aiōn g165)

14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].

Bi re isie mba mba tre ahemen (Amin) Bi ni kon mba kwujokun ni shishi mba nda gri ni wu (sujada)
