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.
Kisha nabweni katika luboko lwa mmaliyo wa yelo ywatamile katika iteo ya enzi, gombo latiandikilwe nnonge ni nchogo, ni iyeile mistari saba.
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]
Namweni malaika mwene ngupu atihubiri kwa lilobe likolo, “Nyai ywastaili yogowa ligombo ni nikuitekua mihuri yake?”
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.
Nntopo mundu kumaunde au mulunia au pae ya lunia ywawechite yogowa gombo ama kulisoma.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Nalelite kwa uchungu kwa kuwa hapatikwe kwaa yeyoti ywastahili kuliyogowa gombo ama kulisoma.
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!”
Lakini yumo wa apendo atikunibakiya, “Kana ulile, lola! imba wa kabila lya Yuda, Kieke lya Daudi, ashindile kuliyogowa gombo n mihuri gake saba.”
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.
kati ya iteo ya enzi ni benr ukoti ncheche ni miongoni mwa apendo, namweni mwana ngondolo atiyema, atibonekana kati yawile. Abile ni pembe saba ni matiyo saba-hayee nga Roho saba za Nnongo zalagilwe mulunia yoti.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Atiyenda natola ligombo, boka muluboko lya mmalyo ni yelo yatamile katika iteo ya ezi.
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.
Palitolile ligombo, bene ukoti ncheche ni apendo ishirini ni ncheche bainamite mpaka pae nnonge ya mwana ngondolo kila yumo abile ni kinubi ni kibakuli ya dhahabu lalitwelile uvumba nga maombi ya baamini.
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.
Batiyemba mwimbo wa yambe, “Undastahili kulitola ligombo ni kuliyogwa mihuri yake, kwa kuwa atichinjwa, ni kwa damu yako utikunipema Nnongo bandu wa kila kabila, lugha, jamaa ni taifa.
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.
Ukaapanga ufalme ni makuhani kwa ajili ya kumtumikia Nnongo witu, nabo batawala kunani ya kilambo.”
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].
Boka po natilinga ni nayowine lilobe lya malaika banambone tindia iteo ya enzi-idadi yabe yabile 200,000,000 ni bene ukoti ni apendo.
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!”
Babaite kwa lilobe likolo,'Astahili mwana ngondolo ywa chinjwe pokea uwezo, utajiri, hekima, ngupu, heshima, utukupu ni sifa.'
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)
Nayowine kila chumbwile cha kilebe kumaunde ni mulunia ni pae pakilambo ni kunani ya bahari, kila kilebe nkati yake kikibaya,'kwake ywembe ywatama kunani ya iteo ya enzi ni kwa mwana ngondolo, kubi ni sifa, heshima, utukupu ni ngupu ga kutawala milele ni milele. (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Bene ukoti ncheche batibaya,'Amina! ni apendo bati inama pae ni abudu.
