< 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.
Le nitreako an-kavana’ i miambesatse amy fiambesatseiy ty boke-peleke misokitse añ’ate’e naho alafe’e, linite fitomboke fito.
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]
Nitreako ka ty anjely fanalolahy, nitsey am-piarañanañañe mafe ty hoe: Ia ty mañeva hanokake i boke-pelekey naho hampipoñake o fitombo’eo?
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.
Fe leo raik’ andindìñe ey tsy nahasokake i boke-pelekey ndra hahaisake aze, ndra an-tane, ndra ambane tane ao.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Aa le nangoihoy ty tañy iraho amy te tsy tendreke ty mañeva hanokake naho ty hamaky i bokey ndra ty hahaisake aze.
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!”
Le nanao ty hoe amako ty raik’ amy androanavy rey: Ko mirovetse! Hehe, te i Liona, tarira’ i Joda Vaha’ i Davidey ty nandreketse naho mahasokake i boke-pelekey naho i fitombo’e fito rey.
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.
Le naheoko te ingo nijohañe an-teñateña’ i fiambesatsey naho i raha veloñe efatse rey vaho i androanavy rey eo ty vik’ añondry hoe linenta, aman-tsifa fito vaho maso fito, i Arofon’ Añahare fito niraheñe hanitsike ty tane toiy.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Nimb’eo re nandrambe i boke-pelekey am-pitàn-kavana’ i miambesatse amy fiambesatseiy.
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.
Aa ie nandrambe i boke pelekey, le nibabok’ añatrefa’ i Añondriy i raha veloñe efatse rey naho i androanavy roapolo efats’ amby rey, songa nitañe marovany naho fitavonañe volamena pea ty emboke—o halali’ o noro’eoo.
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.
Le nitakasy sabo vao ami’ty hoe: Mañeva azo ty mandrambe i boke-pelekey naho hampipoñake o fitombo’eo, amy t’ie linenta, vaho ty lio’o ro nahavili’ aiñe anay ho an’Andrianañahare, boak’ amy ze hene foko naho fameleke naho tariratse vaho fifeheañe;
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.
naho nanoe’o fifeheañe naho mpisoroñe ho an’Andrianañahare’ay zahay, hifehe an-tane atoy.
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].
Le nitreako, naho tsinanoko amy zao ty fiarañanañan’ anjely maro niarikoboñe i fiambesatsey naho i raha veloñe rey naho i androanavy rey, ale añ’ale naho arivo añ’arivo ty ia’e,
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!”
songa nampipoña-peo ami’ty hoe: Mañeva i Añondry linentay, ty handrambe lily naho vara naho hihitse naho ozatse naho hasiñe naho engeñe vaho sitra!
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 )
Le tsinanoko ze hene namboareñe andindìñe ey naho an-tane atoy naho ambane’ ty tane toy ao, naho an-driak’ añe, vaho ze he’e am’iereo ao nanao ty hoe amy miambesatse amy fiambesatseiy naho amy Vik’ añondriy: Tata naho hasiñe naho engeñe vaho fifeheañe nainai’e donia! (aiōn )
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Le tinoi’ i raha veloñe efatse rey ty hoe: Amena! vaho nibaboke eo i androanavy rey, nitalaho.
