Hoikeana 5
1 I KE aku la au maloko o ka lima akau o ka mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii, he buke ua palapalaia maloko, a mawaho ua hoopaaia i na wepa ehiku.
Then I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 Ike aku la au i ka anela ikaika, e hea ae ana me ka leo nui, Owai ka mea pono ke wehe i ka buke, a e akaa i kona mau wepa?
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
3 Aole ma ka lani, aole ma ka honua, aole hoi malalo iho o ka honua, ka mea i hiki ia ia ke wehe i ua buke nei, aole hoi ke nana aku ia ia.
No one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to read it.
4 Uwe nui iho la au, no ka loaa ole o ka mea pono e wehe a e heluhelu i ka buke, a e nana hoi maluna iho.
I wept bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to read it.
5 I mai la kekahi o na lunakahiko ia'u, mai uwe oe; aia hoi ua lanakila mai la ka Liona o ka ohana a Iuda, ka Mamo a Davida, e wehe i ua buke nei, a e akaa i kona mau wepa ehiku.
But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 A ike aku la au ma ka nohoalii, a mawaena o na mea ola eha, a me na lunakahiko, he Keikihipa e ku ana me he mea i pepehiia la, ehiku ona pepeiaohao, ehiku hoi ona maka; oia na Uhane ehiku o ke Akua, i hoounaia'ku i ka honua a pau.
I saw a Lamb standing in the middle of the throne area and among the four living creatures and among the elders. He looked as though he had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7 Hele mai la ia, lawe iho la i ka buke, mai ka lima akau aku o ka Mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii;
He went and took hold of the scroll out of the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne.
8 A i kona lawe ana i ka buke, moe iho la na mea ola eha a me na lunakahiko he iwakalua kumamaha imua o ke Keikihipa; he mau lira ko lakou a pau, a me na hue gula, ua piha i na mea ala, oia hoi na pule a ka poe haipule.
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 a golden bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 Memele mai la lakou i ke mele hou, e olelo ana, Pono no oe ke lawe i ka buke, a e akaa i kona mau wepa: no ka mea, ua pepehiia oe, a ua kuai mai oe ia makou no ke Akua me kou koko, mai loko mai o na ohana a pau, a me na olelo, a me na aina, a me na lahuikanaka a pau;
They sang a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals. For you were slaughtered, and with your blood you purchased people for God from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 A ua hoolilo oe ia makou i poe alii, a i poe kahuna no ko makou Akua; a ia makou no ke aupuni ma ka honua.
You made them a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
11 Nana aku la au, a lohe iho la i ka leo o na anela, he nui loa, a me na mea ola, a me na lunakahiko e anaina ana ma ka nohoalii: a o ka helu ana ia lakou he haneri miliona a me na tausani tansani;
Then I looked and heard the sound of many angels who encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. Their total number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands.
12 E olelo ana me ka leo nui, E pono no ke Keikihipa i pepehiia, ke loaa ia ia ka mana, a me ka waiwai, a me ke akamai, a me ka ikaika, a me ka nani a me ka mahalo, a me ka hoomaikaiia.
They said in a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise.”
13 A lohe aku la au i na mea a pau ma ka lani, a ma ka honua, a malalo iho o ka honua, a me na mea a pau ma ka moana, a maloko o ia mau mea, e olelo ana, No ka Mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii, no ke Keikihipa hoi, ka hoomaikaiia a me ka nani, a me ka hanohano, a me ka ikaika, ia ao aku, ia ao aku. (aiōn g165)
I heard every created thing that was in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea—everything in them—saying, “To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise, honor, glory, and the power to rule, forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
14 I mai la na mea ola eha, Amene. Moe iho la na lunakahiko he iwakaluakumamaha, hoomana aku la i ka Mea e ola mau ana ia ao aku, ia ao aku.
The four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
