Mkpughe 5
1 Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m akwụkwọ e dere ihe ihu na azụ, nke a fụkọrọ afụkọ, kakwasịkwa ya akara asaa, ka ọ dị nʼaka nri onye ahụ nọkwasịrị nʼelu ocheeze ahụ.
And in the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne, I saw a book, written inside and out, sealed with seven seals.
2 Ahụkwara m otu mmụọ ozi dị ukwuu, ka ọ na-ekwusa okwu nʼoke olu na-asị, “Ọ bụ onye kwesiri ịnyakapụ akara ndị a ma saghee akwụkwọ ahụ a fụkọrọ afụkọ?”
And I saw a strong Angel, proclaiming with a great voice, “Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?”
3 Ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla pụrụ ịsaghe akwụkwọ ahụ maọbụ ilenye ya anya a hụrụ nʼeluigwe, maọbụ nʼụwa, maọbụ nʼokpuru ụwa.
And no one was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to gaze upon it.
4 Akwara m akwa nʼobi ilu nʼihi na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla a hụrụ tozuru oke ịsaghe akwụkwọ ahụ maọbụ ileba anya nʼime ya.
And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.
5 Mgbe ahụ, otu onye nʼime ndị okenye ahụ gwara m sị, “Akwala akwa. Lee, Ọdụm ebo Juda, bụ mgbọrọgwụ Devid, emeriela. Ọ pụrụ ịnyakapụ akara asaa ahụ ma saghekwaa akwụkwọ ahụ.”
And one of the elders said to me: “Weep not. Behold, the lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to break its seven seals.”
6 Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m Nwa Atụrụ na-eguzo nʼetiti ocheeze ahụ dịka e gburu ya egbu. Anụ anọ ahụ dị ndụ na ndị okenye ahụ gbara ya gburugburu. O nwekwara mpi asaa na anya asaa, nke bụ mmụọ asaa nke Chineke, ndị e zipụrụ nʼime ụwa niile.
And I saw, and behold, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb was standing, as if it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth to all the earth.
7 Ọ gara nʼihu were akwụkwọ ahụ site nʼaka nri onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze ahụ.
And he approached and received the book from the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne.
8 Mgbe ọ weere ya, anụ anọ ahụ dị ndụ na iri ndị okenye abụọ na anọ ndị ahụ dara nʼala nʼihu Nwa Atụrụ ahụ. Ha niile nʼotu nʼotu jikwa ụbọ akwara na efere e ji ọlaedo mee, nke ihe jupụtara nʼime ha bụ ụda na-esi isi ụtọ, bụ ekpere ndị nsọ.
And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having stringed instruments, as well as golden bowls full of fragrances, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 Ha na-abụ abụ ọhụrụ na-asị, “I kwesiri ịnara akwụkwọ ahụ na ịnyakapụ akara ya, nʼihi na e gburu gị, ma site nʼọbara gị, ị gbataara Chineke ndị mmadụ, ndị si nʼebo niile, na asụsụ niile, na ndị niile, na mba niile.
And they were singing a new canticle, saying: “O Lord, you are worthy to receive the book and to open its seals, because you were slain and have redeemed us for God, by your blood, from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 Ị chịkọtaala ha, mee ha otu alaeze na ndị nchụaja na-ejere Chineke anyị ozi. Ha ga-achịkwa achị nʼụwa.”
And you have made us into a kingdom and into priests for our God, and we shall reign over the earth.”
11 Mgbe ahụ, elere m anya, hụ ma nụkwa olu nke ọtụtụ ndị mmụọ ozi, nke ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru puku kwụrụ puku, na nde kwụrụ nde. Ha gbara ocheeze ahụ gburugburu, na anụ anọ ahụ dị ndụ na ndị okenye ahụ.
And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
12 Ha na-abụ abụ nʼoke olu na-asị, “O kwesiri bụ Nwa Atụrụ ahụ e gburu egbu ịnara ike na akụnụba na amamihe na ike na nsọpụrụ na otuto na ngọzị.”
saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
13 Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m ka ihe niile nọ nʼeluigwe na ndị nọ nʼụwa na ndị nọ nʼokpuru ụwa, na ndị nọ nʼokpuru oke osimiri na-eti mkpu abụ na-asị, “Ka ngọzị, na nsọpụrụ niile, na otuto niile, na ike niile dịrị onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ahụ, na Nwa Atụrụ ahụ (aiōn g165)
And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
14 Anụ anọ ahụ dị ndụ zakwara sị, “Amen!” Ndị okenye ahụ dakwara nʼala nʼihu ya kpọọ isiala nye ya.
And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.
