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 I saw an open door in heaven. The first voice that I had heard was speaking to me like a trumpet, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”
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.
At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw there was a throne placed in heaven, with someone sitting on it.
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 who was sitting on it looked like jasper and carnelian. There was a rainbow around the throne. The rainbow looked 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 thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, dressed with white garments, with 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 came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and crashes of thunder. Seven lamps were burning in front of the throne, lamps that were 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.
Before the throne was a sea of glass, like crystal. In the middle of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures, full of eyes, 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 living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was 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, full of eyes on top and underneath. Night and day they do not stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was, and 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 give glory, honor, and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever 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 the one seated on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever. They lay their crowns 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 are you, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
