Revelation 7
1 After this I saw four angels. One was standing at the north, one at the east, one at the south, and one at the west. They were restraining the winds that blew from all directions [MTY] to keep them from blowing [destructively] on the earth or on the ocean or even on any tree.
Nghavile nghavombei angha nghooni puneikhavona veimile avahwa vanne mungutu chwinne visingha namakha ukhuta palekhe ukhuva neimepo eiyikuhunghuta mukhilunga, pa nyanja yeive pabeikhi unghwa veinchangha.
2 I saw another angel come up from the east. He was carrying God’s seal. [With this] seal God, who is all-powerful, marks [his own people to protect them]. The angel called out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom [he] had given [power] to harm the earth and the ocean. He said
Puniekha ona usuhwa uyunge veikhwincha ukhuhuma khuvuhuma walinchuva uveiale nei ngadeikhilo ya Nguluve unyawumi. Pu akhakola eingolo eimbaha khuyasuhwa vala vanne vavo vapevilwe amakha nuvulegefu wa khunanga eikhilunga nei nyanja:
3 [to them], “Do not harm the earth or the ocean or the trees until we [(exc)] have marked the servants of our [(inc)] God on their foreheads.”
“Muleikha ukhukhinanga eikhilunga nei nyanja yeive gyu mibeikha impakha yakhiva tumalile ukhuveikha ikhimanyeilo pafyeni fya muntwe gyavavombi va Nguluve veito.”
4 [Then the angel and his fellow angels marked all God’s servants]. I heard the number of people who were marked {whom [the angels] marked} [because of their being God’s servants. The number was] 144,000. They were from all the tribes of Israel. [They symbolized the complete number of people whom God would protect].
Puneikhapuleikha eimbaleilo ya vala avaveikhiwe eikhimanyelo khuhuma mukhivumbukhu eikyavenchangha muva Israeli vale 144, 000.
5 [The angels] marked 12,000 people from the tribe of Judah, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
Pu avanu 12, 000 mukhivumbukhu eikhya Lubeni, avanu 12, 000 mukhivumbukhu eikhya Nghadi.
6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
Avanu 12, 000 ukhuhuma mwa mbukhu khya Nafutali na mukhivumbukhu khya Manese vale 12, 000.
7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12.000 from the tribe of Issachar,
Avanu 12, 000 ukhuhuma mwa Simoni, 12, 000 mukhivumbukhu khya Alawi, na vanu 12, 000 vale vakhivumbukhu khya Isakhali,
8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, and 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin.
Eikhivumbukhu khya Zabuloni, vale 12, 000 na mukhivumbukhu khya Yusefu, avanu 12, 000 mwa Benyamini avanu 12, 000 avaveikhiwe ifimanyeilo.
9 After these things I saw a huge crowd. There were so [many people] that no one would be able to count them. [They were] from every nation, every tribe, every people-group, and every language [MTY]. They were standing before the throne and before [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb. They were wearing white robes and held palm branches [to wave them in order to celebrate].
Vunghavombikhe angha nikhalola puneikhavona ukhuta khwale nei khipungha eikhivaha ekhavanu eikhu ansikhuli umunu unyakhunghela ukhuvala ukhuma mukhivumbukhu eikhyavenchangha, munkilunga na munjovele nchoni,
10 They shouted loudly, “[O] our [(exc)] God, you who sit on the throne, and [Jesus, you who are like a] lamb, [you two] have delivered [us(exc) from Satan’s power]!”
puvaleikhwovela fincho valeikhuta uvupokhi vulei nu Nguluve veito uveitama pakhinyalwangula eikhya vuntwa nukhakolo!”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living [creatures]. They all bowed down before the throne with their faces [to the ground] and worshipped God.
Avasuhwa voni vemile mungutu nchoni puvakhinchunghutile eikhinyalwanghula eikhyavuntwa avavaha vala navanyawumi vanne vakhinama nukhufunghafungha pasi pa ng'anga pavulongolo pakhinyalwa nghula vuvikhumweimeikha Unguluve,
12 They said, “May it be so! [We(exc)] praise, thank, and honor [you], our [(exc)] God, forever! [We(exc) acknowledge] that you are completely wise, the powerful one, who is forever able to accomplish everything he wants to. (May everyone acknowlege that it is so!/Amen!)” (aiōn g165)
puvaleikhuta, “Ameni! Ulunghinwo, uvweimukhiwa, uluhala, nulusano, nuvudwadwa na makhafive nu Nguluve veito isikhu nchoni Khisita khusila lusikhu! Ameni!” (aiōn g165)
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These [people] who are wearing white robes, [do you know] who they are, and where they come from?”
Pu umo nuvavaha vapelela akhavuncha akhata vav vuvani avatwalile eimienda emivalafu eigyavuvombi hange vahumile ndakhu?
14 I answered him, “Sir, [I do not know. Surely] you know [who they are]!” He said to me, “These are the people (whom [others] have caused to suffer greatly/who [have been persecuted]). [Because they believed that Jesus, the one who is like a sacrificial] lamb, [atoned for our sin when] his blood [flowed from his body when he died, it is as though] [MET] they have washed their robes and have made them [clean and] white.
Puneikhambula neikhata, “Ntwa vango, ulumanyile uve, “Vope pu akhambula une akhata ava vuva humile mumbutolwe uvwanjala imbaha fincho. Puvasukhile eimienda ngyavo punghivile mivalafu munkisa nghwa Nyakhakolo.
15 Because of this, they are in front of God’s throne, and they serve him day and night in his [heavenly temple. God], the one who sits on the throne, will shelter/protect them [MTY].
Ukhukongana neilyo leino puvalei pavulongolo pamiho nghakhinyalwanghula eikhyavuntwa eikhya Nguluve puvikhumweimeikha nukhwisaya khumwene pakilo na pamusi mutembile ya mwene.
16 [As a result], they will never again be hungry. They will never again be thirsty. The sun will never again (beat on/burn) them, nor will any heat [scorch them].
Umwene uveiatamile pakyanya pa khinghoda eikhinyalwangula puitandaancha eihema ya mwene pakhyanya pavene. Savalayeivona njala lusikhu khive khyu khyumilwa khya magasi eilinchuva salielavanghatancha, nghave nghumafukhe angha nghinyanya.
17 This is because the [one who is like a] lamb who is at the throne will [take care of them, just like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]. He will guide them [to the source of eternal life, just like a shepherd leads his sheep] to springs of water, [which enable the sheep] to live [MET]. God will [cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as if he were] wiping away all tears from their eyes [MTY].”
Ulwakhuva unyakhakolo uvaeli panghati na nghati pakhinyalwangula pa iva veitekhenchi vavo, pu ikhuvalongonchangha mukhindwivudwivu eikyamagasi ngha wumi, nu Nguluve puikhuva pulusyangha inyihonchi mumihonghavo.”
