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.
I saw the one sitting on the throne holding a scroll in his right hand. The scroll was written on both sides and was 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?”
I saw a powerful angel shouting in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and 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.
Nobody in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.
4 Na niĩ ngĩrĩra mũno tondũ gũtionekire mũndũ o na ũmwe mwagĩrĩru wa kũhingũra ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kana arĩrore thĩinĩ.
I cried many tears because nobody could be found who was worthy to open the book and read 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.”
One of the elders spoke to me and said, “Don't cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the descendant of David, has won the battle and can open the scroll and 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.
I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been killed standing in the center by the throne and the four living creatures, among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes that are the seven Spirits of God that are sent out 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.
He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one that sat on 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.
When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the believers.
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.
They sang a new song, “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you redeemed for God people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 Wee nĩũmatuĩte andũ a ũthamaki na athĩnjĩri-Ngai a gũtungatagĩra Ngai witũ, nao magaathamaka gũkũ thĩ.”
You made them into a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on 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.
As I looked I heard the voices of millions of angels around the throne, together with the living creatures and the elders,
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!”
shouting loudly together: “The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive authority, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, 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)
Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, in the sea—every creature everywhere—replying: “To the one who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, honor, glory, and authority, for ever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
14 Nacio ciũmbe iria inya irĩ muoyo ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Ameni”, nao athuuri acio makĩĩgũithia thĩ, makĩhooya.
The four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
