< Revelation 7 >
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, and holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow over the earth or the sea or upon any tree.
Mambu momo bu mavioka, ndimona zimbasi ziya zitelama mu zitsongi ziya zi ntoto. Buna zisimbididi ziphemo ziya zi ntoto muingi phemo yimosi yibika vevumuka buba va ntoto, buba mu mbu, buba mu nti wumosi.
2 And I saw another angel coming from the east and carrying a seal belonging to the ever-living God. He called in a loud voice to the four angels whose work it was to injure the earth and the sea.
Buna ndimona mbasi yinkaka yitotukila ku ntotukilanga thangu, yiba ayi dimbu ki Nzambi yi moyo. Yawu yiyamikina mu mbembo yingolo kuidi zimbasi ziya zina zivanu lulendo mu vanga mbimbi va ntoto ayi va mbu,
3 "Injure neither land nor sea nor trees," he said, "until we have sealed the bondservants of our God upon their foreheads."
yawu yituba: —Kadi vanga mbimbi buba kuidi ntoto, buba kuidi mbu, buba kuidi minti nate tummanisa tula dimbu mu zimbulu zi bisadi bi Nzambi eto.
4 When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000.
Buna ndiwa thalu yi batu bobo batulu dimbu. Baba khama yimosi makumaya ayi zimili ziya zi batu mu makanda moso ma bana ba Iseli:
5 Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000; Of the tribe of Gad, 12,000;
kumi zimili zizole batulu dimbu mu dikanda di Yuda; kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Lubeni; kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Ngadi,
6 Of the tribe of Asher, 12,000; Of the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000; Of the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000;
kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Aseli; kumi zimili zi zole mu dikanda di Nefitali; kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Manase;
7 Of the tribe of Symeon, 12,000; Of the tribe of Levi, 12,000; Of the tribe of Issachar, 12,000;
kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Simewoni; kumi zimilizizole mu dikanda di Levi; kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Isakali;
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000; Of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000; Of the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000.
kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Zabuloni; kumi zimili zizole mu dikanda di Zozefi; kumi zimili zizole batulu dimbu mu dikanda di Benzami.
9 After this I looked, and a vast host appeared which it was impossible for anyone to count, gathered out of every nation and from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and carrying palm-branches in their hands.
Mambu momo bu mavioka, ndimona nkangu wunneni; wu batu wowo mutu kalendi tangikisa ko, wu zimbembo zioso; wutelama va ntuala kunduki kipfumu ayi va ntuala Muana dimemi. Batu baba mu nkangu beni bavuatazilobi ziphembi zimula ayi basimbidila mangievo mu mioko miawu.
10 In loud voices they were exclaiming, "It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!"
Bayamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Phulusu yidi kuidi Nzambi eto yoyi yivuendi va kundu kikipfumu ayi kuidi Muana dimemi.
11 All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne and round the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God.
Ayi zimbasi zioso zizungidila kundu, bakulutu ayi bivangu biyabi moyo. Zifukama mu yinika bizizi biawu va tsi va ntuala kundu ki kipfumu ayi zizitisa Nzambi bu batuba:
12 "Even so!" they cried: "The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honor and the power and the might are to be ascribed to our God, until the Ages of the Ages! Even so!" (aiōn )
Amen! Bika nzitusu, nkembo ayi nduenga Phutudulu yi matondo, sanisina, lulendo ayi zingolo bibanga kuidi Nzambi eto mu zikhama zikhama zi mimvu Amen! (aiōn )
13 Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, "Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? And where have they come from?"
Buna wumosi mu bakulutu wuvutula bu katuba kuidi minu: —Banani batu bobo bavueti zilobi ziphembi zimula ayi kuevi babedi e?
14 "My lord, you know," I replied. "They are those," he said, "who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Minu ndimvutudila: —Pfumuꞌama, ngeyo zebi. Buna wukhamba: —Bawu babedi mu ziphasi zingolo ayi basukudi zilobi ziawu; bazikitudi ziphembi mu menga ma Muana dimemi.
15 For this reason they stand before the very throne of God, and render Him service, day after day and night after night, in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne will shelter them in His tent.
Diawu batelimini va ntuala kundu ki kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi bankunsadilanga builu ayi muini mu nzoꞌandi Nzambi. Ayi mutu wowo vuendi va kundu ki kipfumu wela kuba sueka ku nzoꞌandi yi ngoto.
16 They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and never again will the sun or any scorching heat trouble them.
Balendi buela mona nzala ko; balendi buela mona phuila koayi balendi buela yamusu kuidi muini ko voti kuidi phemo yi mbazu ko
17 For the Lamb who is in front of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to watersprings of Life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."
bila muana dimemi widi va khatitsika kundu ki kipfumu; welabasunganga ayi wela banatanga ku zitho zi minlangu mi luzingu ayi Nzambi wela fiona matsuela moso mu meso mawu.
