Kũguũrĩrio 5
1 Ningĩ ngĩona ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩrĩ guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa ũrĩa waikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene rĩandĩkĩtwo mĩena yeerĩ, na rĩahingĩtwo na gũcinĩrĩrwo na tũtembe mũgwanja twa mũhũra.
And in the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne, I saw a book, written inside and out, sealed with seven seals.
2 Ngĩcooka ngĩona mũraika warĩ na hinya mũno akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene akooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ mwagĩrĩru kũmethũra tũtembe tũtũ twa mũhũra, na ahingũre ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo?”
And I saw a strong Angel, proclaiming with a great voice, “Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?”
3 No gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe kũu igũrũ, kana gũkũ thĩ, o na kana rungu rwa thĩ ũngĩahotire kũhingũra ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo o na kana arĩrore thĩinĩ.
And no one was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to gaze upon it.
4 Na niĩ ngĩrĩra mũno tondũ gũtionekire mũndũ o na ũmwe mwagĩrĩru wa kũhingũra ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kana arĩrore thĩinĩ.
And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmwe wa athuuri acio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũrĩra! Atĩrĩrĩ, Mũrũũthi ũrĩa wa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, Thuuna ĩrĩa ya Daudi-rĩ, nĩatooranĩtie. We arĩ na ũhoti wa kũhingũra ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, na amethũre tũtembe tũu mũgwanja twarĩo.”
And one of the elders said to me: “Weep not. Behold, the lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to break its seven seals.”
6 Ningĩ ngĩona Gatũrũme arũgamĩte gatagatĩ ga gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nako kahaanaga ta gathĩnjĩtwo, gathiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo, na athuuri acio. Kaarĩ na hĩa mũgwanja na maitho mũgwanja, na nĩmo maroho mũgwanja ma Ngai marĩa matũmĩtwo mathiiage thĩ yothe.
And I saw, and behold, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb was standing, as if it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth to all the earth.
7 Nake ũcio Gatũrũme agĩthiĩ akĩoya ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa ũcio waikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene.
And he approached and received the book from the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne.
8 Na aarĩkia kũrĩoya-rĩ, ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo, na athuuri arĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ana makĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya Gatũrũme. O ũmwe aarĩ na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto na maanyiitĩte mbakũri cia thahabu ciyũrĩte ũbumba, na nĩguo mahooya ma andũ arĩa aamũre.
And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having stringed instruments, as well as golden bowls full of fragrances, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 Nao nĩmainire rwĩmbo rwerũ, makiuga atĩrĩ: “Wee nĩwe mwagĩrĩru wa kuoya ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, na kũmethũra tũtembe tũu twarĩo, tondũ wee nĩworagirwo, ũkĩgũrĩra Ngai andũ na thakame yaku kuuma mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na thiomi ciothe, na andũ othe, o na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
And they were singing a new canticle, saying: “O Lord, you are worthy to receive the book and to open its seals, because you were slain and have redeemed us for God, by your blood, from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 Wee nĩũmatuĩte andũ a ũthamaki na athĩnjĩri-Ngai a gũtungatagĩra Ngai witũ, nao magaathamaka gũkũ thĩ.”
And you have made us into a kingdom and into priests for our God, and we shall reign over the earth.”
11 Ningĩ ngĩrora, na niĩ ngĩigua mũgambo wa araika aingĩ, mũigana wao warĩ ngiri na ngiri, na ngiri ikũmi maita ngiri ikũmi. Nao maathiũrũrũkĩirie gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo, na athuuri acio.
And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
12 Nao mainaga na mũgambo mũnene, makoiga atĩrĩ: “Kwagĩrĩra nĩ Gatũrũme, karĩa kooragirwo, nĩguo kagĩe na ũhoti, na ũtonga, na ũũgĩ, na hinya, na gĩtĩĩo, na riiri, o na ũgooci!”
saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
13 Ngĩcooka ngĩigua ciũmbe ciothe irĩ kũu igũrũ, na iria irĩ thĩ, na iria irĩ rungu rwa thĩ, na iria irĩ iria-inĩ, o na indo ciothe iria irĩ thĩinĩ wacio, ikĩina atĩrĩ: “Ũgooci, na gĩtĩĩo, na riiri, na ũhoti, irogĩa kũrĩ ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, na kũrĩ Gatũrũme, nginya tene na tene!” (aiōn g165)
And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
14 Nacio ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Ameni”, nao athuuri acio makĩĩgũithia thĩ, makĩhooya.
And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.
