Mkpughe 4
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, eleliri m anya m hụ ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼeluigwe ka e meghere ya. Ụda olu ahụ m nụrụ na mmalite dara ọzọ, dị ka ụda opi ike sị m, “Bịa, gbagota nʼebe a, ka m gosi gị ihe ga-emezuriri mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị.”
After this I saw a door that had been opened in heaven. The voice that I'd heard before, the one that sounded like a trumpet, told me, “Come up here, and I will show you what will happen next.”
2 Nʼotu oge ahụ, e mere ka m nọọ nʼime mmụọ, ma lee, ahụrụ m onwe m nʼeluigwe, hụkwa ka e debere otu ocheeze nke otu onye na-anọkwasị nʼelu ya.
Immediately I was filled by the Spirit and saw a throne set up in heaven, with someone sitting on the throne.
3 Ụdịdị onye nọkwasịrị nʼocheeze ahụ na-egbu nweghenweghe dịka nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ jaspa na kanelian. Eke na egwurugwu dịka nkume oke ọnụahịa. Emeralụdụ gbara ocheeze ahụ gburugburu.
The one sitting there shone like jewels, like jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow that circled the throne, shining like an emerald.
4 Iri ocheeze abụọ na anọ ọzọ, gbara ocheeze ukwu ahụ gburugburu. Ndị nọkwasịrị nʼocheeze ndị a bụ iri ndị okenye abụọ na anọ, ndị yi uwe ọcha. Ha kpukwa okpueze e ji ọlaedo kpụọ nʼisi ha.
Around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and twenty-four elders were sitting on these thrones, dressed in white and wearing golden crowns on their heads.
5 Mgbe ahụ, ụda dịka ụda egbe eluigwe, ya na amụma na-egbuke sitere nʼocheeze ukwu ahụ na-ada na-achapụtakwa. Nʼihu ocheeze ukwu ahụ, e nwere oriọna asaa na-enwu ọkụ. Oriọna ndị a bụ mmụọ asaa nke Chineke.
From the throne lightning flashed and thunder roared. Seven torches blazed in front of the throne—these are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Nʼihu ocheeze ahụ e nwere ihe dịka oke osimiri e ji enyo mee, nke na-enwu dịka kristal. Nʼetiti ihu ocheeze ahụ na gburugburu ya, e nwere anụ anọ dị ndụ nwere anya nʼakụkụ ahụ ha niile, ihu na azụ.
Stretching out in front of the throne was a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center and all around the throne were four living creatures covered in eyes, both front and back.
7 Nke mbụ nʼime anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ nwere oyiyi dịka ọdụm. Nke abụọ dịka ehi. Nke atọ nwere ihu yiri nke mmadụ. Nke anọ dịka ugo gbasapụrụ nku ya na-efe efe.
The first creature looked like a lion, the second like a young bull, the third had a human face, and the fourth looked like a flying eagle.
8 Nke ọbụla nʼime ihe anọ ndị a dị ndụ nwere nku isii. Anya jupụtara nʼahụ ha niile na nʼime ha, ọ bụladị nʼokpuru nku ha. Ehihie na abalị niile, ọrụ ha bụ iti mkpu na-asị,
The four living creatures each had six wings also covered with eyes. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.”
9 Mgbe ọbụla anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-enye onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze ahụ na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi otuto na nsọpụrụ na ekele, (aiōn g165)
Whenever the living creatures glorify, honor, and thank the one that sits on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 iri ndị okenye abụọ na anọ ahụ na-adakwa nʼala nʼihu onye ahụ nọ nʼocheeze na-efe ya ofufe, bụ onye ahụ na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Ha niile nʼotu nʼotu na-atụda okpueze ha nʼihu ya na-abụ abụ na-asị, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before him that sits on the throne. They will worship the one who lives for ever and ever, and throw down their crowns before the throne. They say, (aiōn g165)
11 “Gị, Onyenwe anyị na Chineke anyị, kwesiri ịnara otuto, na nsọpụrụ, na ike. Nʼihi na gị onwe gị kere ihe niile, ọ bụkwa site nʼọchịchọ gị ka e ji kee ha, ma meekwa ka ha dịrị ndụ.”
“Our Lord and our God, you are worthy to be given glory, and honor, and authority, for you created everything. Your will brought Creation into existence.”
