Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 5
1 Καὶ εἶδον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου βιβλίον γεγραμμένον ἔσωθεν καὶ ὄπισθεν, κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά.
Kisha katika mkono wa kulia wa huyo aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi, nikaona kitabu; nacho kilikuwa kimeandikwa ndani na nje na kufungwa na mihuri saba.
2 καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον ἰσχυρὸν κηρύσσοντα ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, Τίς ἄξιος ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον, καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ;
Tena nikamwona malaika mwenye nguvu akitangaza kwa sauti kubwa: “Nani anayestahili kuvunja hiyo mihuri na kukifungua kitabu hicho?”
3 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἠδύνατο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐδὲ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
Lakini hakupatikana mtu yeyote mbinguni, wala duniani, wala chini Kuzimu, aliyeweza kukifungua hicho kitabu au kukitazama ndani. (questioned)
4 καὶ [ἐγὼ] ἔκλαιον πολύ, ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
Basi, mimi nikalia sana kwa sababu hakupatikana mtu aliyestahili kukifungua, au kukitazama ndani.
5 καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι, Μὴ κλαῖε· ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ ῥίζα Δαυείδ, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον, καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.
Kisha mmoja wa wale wazee akaniambia, “Usilie! Tazama! Simba wa kabila la Yuda, mjukuu maarufu wa Daudi, ameshinda. Yeye anaweza kuivunja mihuri yake saba na kukifungua hicho kitabu.”
6 καὶ εἶδον, ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀρνίον ἑστηκὼς ὡς ἐσφαγμένον, ἔχων κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτά, οἵ εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπεσταλμένοι εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
Kisha nikaona pale katikati ya kiti cha enzi Mwana kondoo amesimama, akizungukwa kila upande na vile viumbe hai vinne, na wale wazee. Huyo Mwanakondoo alionekana kana kwamba amechinjwa. Alikuwa na pembe saba na macho saba ambayo ni roho saba za Mungu zilizokuwa zimepelekwa kila mahali duniani.
7 καὶ ἦλθεν, καὶ εἴληφεν ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου.
Mwanakondoo akaenda, akakitwaa hicho kitabu kutoka mkono wa kulia wa yule aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi.
8 καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὸ βιβλίον, τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα καὶ οἱ εἰκοσιτέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου, ἔχοντες ἕκαστος κιθάραν, καὶ φιάλας χρυσέας γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων, αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων·
Mara tu alipokwisha twaa hicho kitabu, vile viumbe hai vinne pamoja na wale wazee ishirini na wanne walianguka kifudifudi mbele ya Mwanakondoo. Kila mmoja, alikuwa na kinubi na bakuli za dhahabu zilizojaa ubani, ambao ni sala za watu wa Mungu.
9 καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες, Ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον, καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ θεῷ ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου, ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους,
Basi, wakaimba wimbo huu mpya: “Wewe unastahili kukitwaa hicho kitabu na kuivunja mihuri yake. Kwa sababu wewe umechinjwa, na kwa damu yako umemnunulia Mungu watu kutoka katika kila kabila, lugha, jamaa na taifa.
10 καὶ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν βασιλείαν καὶ ἱερεῖς· καὶ βασιλεύουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
Wewe umewafanya wawe ufalme wa makuhani wamtumikie Mungu wetu nao watatawala duniani.”
11 καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων· καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων,
Kisha nikatazama, nikasikia sauti ya malaika wengi sana, idadi isiyohesabika, maelfu na maelfu. Walikuwa wamekaa kuzunguka kiti cha enzi, vile viumbe hai vinne na wale wazee;
12 λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, Ἄξιόν ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.
wakasema kwa sauti kuu: “Mwanakondoo aliyechinjwa anastahili kupokea uwezo, utajiri, hekima, nguvu, utukufu na sifa.”
13 καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς πάντα, ἤκουσα λέγοντας, Τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. (aiōn g165)
Nikasikia viumbe vyote mbinguni, duniani, chini kuzimuni na baharini—viumbe vyote ulimwenguni—vikisema: “Kwake yeye aketiye katika kiti cha enzi, na kwa Mwanakondoo, iwe sifa na heshima na utukufu na enzi milele na milele.” (aiōn g165, questioned)
14 καὶ τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα ἔλεγον, Ἀμήν· καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν, καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
Na vile viumbe vinne hai vikasema, “Amina!” Na wale wazee wakaanguka kifudifudi, wakaabudu.
