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 these things, I looked and lo, a door was open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard, was as of a trumpet talking with me. It said, Come up hither; and I will show thee the things that must occur hereafter.
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.
Instantly, I was in the Spirit: and lo, a throne was placed in heaven; and there was one seated 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.
And he who sat, was like the appearance of a jasper-stone, and of a sardine sard, and of a rainbow of the clouds, round about the throne, in form as the appearance of emeralds.
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 and four seats; and upon those seats sat twenty and four Elders, who were clothed in white robes, and on whose heads were coronets of gold.
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.
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and the sound of thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before his throne, which 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.
And before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, were four Animals, full of eyes in their front and in their rear.
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.
And the first Animal resembled a lion; and the second Animal resembled a calf; and the third Animal had a face like a man; and the fourth Animal resembled an eagle when flying.
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,
And these four Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, who was, and is, and 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)
And when these Animals give glory and honor and praise to him that sitteth on the throne, to him who liveth 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 and four Elders fall down before him who sitteth on the throne, and they worship him who liveth for ever and ever; and they cast their coronets before the throne, saying, (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.”
Worthy art thou, O Lord our God, the Holy, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thee they exist; and because of thy pleasure they had being and were created.
