< Kũguũrĩrio 4 >
1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio ngĩrora, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa haarĩ na mũrango warĩ mũhingũre kũu igũrũ. Naguo mũgambo ũrĩa ndaiguĩte mbere ĩyo ũkĩnjarĩria, ũrĩa wagambaga ta coro, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũũke haha, na nĩngũkuonia maũndũ marĩa arĩ o nginya mageekĩka thuutha wa maũndũ maya.”
After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard was as of a trumpet speaking to me; and it said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must come to pass hereafter.
2 O rĩmwe ngĩkorwo ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa harĩ na gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kũu igũrũ, na nĩ harĩ na mũndũ wagĩikarĩire.
And immmediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne.
3 Nake ũcio wagĩikarĩire onekaga atariĩ ta ihiga rĩa mũthemba wa njathibi na wakiki. Naguo mũkũnga-mbura ũrĩa wonekaga ũhaana ta kahiga karĩa getagwo thumarati, nĩguo warigiicĩirie gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene.
And He that sat upon it, was to look at like a jasper and a sardine stone, and there was a rainbow round the throne like the appearance of an emerald.
4 Nakĩo gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene nĩkĩarigiicĩirio nĩ itĩ ingĩ cia ũnene mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya, nacio ciaikarĩirwo nĩ athuuri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana. Athuuri acio meehumbĩte nguo njerũ na magekĩra thũmbĩ cia thahabu mĩtwe.
And around the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw twenty four elders sitting, clothed in white garments; and they had upon their heads crowns of gold.
5 Hau gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene nĩhoimaga heni, na ngwa, na marurumĩ. Mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene haarĩ matawa mũgwanja maakanaga. Matawa macio nĩmo maroho marĩa mũgwanja ma Ngai.
And out of the throne came lightnings, and thunders, and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne; which are the seven spirits of God.
6 Ningĩ hau mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene nĩ haarĩ kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ta iria rĩa gĩcicio, narĩo rĩarĩ ikembu mũno, rĩkahaana o ta gĩcicio. Ningĩ hau gatagatĩ, gũthiũrũrũkĩria gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene, haarĩ na ciũmbe inya irĩ muoyo, nacio ciaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maitho mwena wa mbere, na wa na thuutha.
And before the throne was a sea of glass, like crystal: and in the middle of the throne, and the circle of it, were four animate beings full of eyes before and behind.
7 Nakĩo kĩũmbe kĩa mbere kĩahaanaga ta mũrũũthi, na gĩa keerĩ kĩahaanaga ta ndegwa, na gĩa gatatũ kĩarĩ na ũthiũ watariĩ ta wa mũndũ, nakĩo gĩa kana gĩatariĩ ta nderi ĩkĩrera.
And the first was like a lion, and the second like a calf, and the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
8 O kĩũmbe kĩmwe gĩa ciũmbe icio inya irĩ muoyo kĩarĩ na mathagu matandatũ, nakĩo kĩaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maitho mwĩrĩ wothe o nginya rungu rwa mathagu ma kĩo. Mũthenya na ũtukũ itiatigithagĩria kuuga atĩrĩ:
And the four animals had each of them six wings round about, and within were full of eyes; and they cease not day and night saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
9 Rĩrĩa rĩothe ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo ikũgooca, na igekĩrĩra, na igacookeria ngaatho ũcio ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, o ũcio ũtũũraga tene na tene-rĩ, (aiōn )
And when the animals give glory and honor and thanks to Him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn )
10 nao athuuri acio mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana megũithagia thĩ mbere ya ũcio ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na makahooya ũcio ũtũũraga muoyo tene na tene. Maigaga thũmbĩ ciao mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene, makoiga atĩrĩ: (aiōn )
the four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sitteth on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn )
11 “Wee Mwathani na Ngai witũ-rĩ, nĩwagĩrĩire kũgoocagwo, na gũtĩĩo, na kũgĩa na ũhoti, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wombire indo ciothe, nacio ciombirwo na ũndũ wa kwenda gwaku, na ikĩgĩa na muoyo.”
and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Worthy art thou, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thy will they exist, and were created.
