< Revelasyon 5 >
1 Apre sa, mwen wè yon liv nan men dwat moun ki te chita sou fòtèy la. Liv la te gen fòm yon woulo papie, li te ekri sou anndan ak sou deyò. Li te sele sèt kote.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals.
2 Mwen wè yon zanj ki gen anpil fòs ki t'ap pale byen fò. Li t'ap di: Ki moun ki ka kase sele yo pou louvri liv la?
And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 Men, pa t' gen pesonn ni nan sièl la, ni sou tè a, ni anba tè a ki te kapab louvri liv la pou wè sa ki te ladan li.
And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it.
4 Mwen t'ap kriye anpil, paske pa t' gen pesonn ki te kapab louvri liv la pou gade sa ki te ladan li.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.
5 Lè sa a, yonn nan granmoun yo di mwen konsa: Pa kriye. Gade. Men lyon ki soti nan fanmi Jida a, pitit pitit David la, ki te genyen batay la. Li ka kase sèt sele yo pou louvri liv la.
And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not; behold the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 Mwen wè yon ti Mouton kanpe nan mitan fòtèy la, nan mitan kat bèt vivan yo ak granmoun yo. Ti Mouton an te tankou yon mouton yo te touye deja. Li te gen sèt kòn ak sèt je nan tèt li: se te sèt Lespri Bondye te voye toupatou sou latè.
And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
7 Ti Mouton an pwoche, li pran liv la nan men dwat moun ki te chita sou fòtèy la.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
8 Lè li pran liv la, kat bèt vivan yo ansanm ak vennkat granmoun yo tonbe ajenou devan ti Mouton an. Yo chak te gen nan men yo yon gita pou fè mizik ak yon gode fèt an lò ki te plen lansan. Lansan an se lapriyè moun Bondye yo.
And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints:
9 Yo t'ap chante yon kantik tou nèf ki pati konsa: Wi, ou merite vre, ou kapab pran Liv la pou kase sele yo, paske yo te touye ou. Se konsa ou bay san ou pou achte yon bann moun pou Bondye, moun tout ras, tout lang, tout pèp, tout nasyon.
And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
10 Ou fè yo tounen yon sèl nasyon pou Wa a, yon bann prèt k'ap sèvi Bondye nou an. Se yo ki va gouvènen sou latè a.
And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.
11 Mwen gade ankò, mwen tande vwa yon bann zanj: Yo te tèlman anpil, moun pa t' kapab konte yo. Yo te kanpe fè wonn kote fòtèy la te ye a ansanm ak bèt vivan yo ak granmoun yo.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands,
12 Zanj yo t'ap chante byen fò: Ti Mouton yo te touye a merite vre pou yo ba l' pouvwa, richès, bon konprann ak fòs, respè, onè ak lwanj.
Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction.
13 Apre sa, mwen tande tout kreyati Bondye yo nan sièl la, sou latè, anba tè a, nan lanmè, yo tout yo t'ap chante: Lwanj, respè, pouvwa, otorite pou Moun ki chita sou fòtèy la, ak pou ti Mouton an pou tout tan. (aiōn )
And every creature, which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them: I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. (aiōn )
14 Kat bèt vivan yo t'ap reponn: Wi, se vre. Granmoun yo menm tonbe ajenou, yo t'ap adore.
And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever.
