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 I saw on the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a volume of a book written within, and on the back 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 mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to break the seals thereon?
3 Ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla pụrụ ịsaghe akwụkwọ ahụ maọbụ ilenye ya anya a hụrụ nʼeluigwe, maọbụ nʼụwa, maọbụ nʼokpuru ụwa.
And no man was able in heaven, nor upon earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look into 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 much because no man was found worthy either to open or read the book, or even to look upon 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 presbyters said unto me, Weep not: behold the lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed, to open the book, and to break the seven seals upon it.
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 beheld, and lo! in the midst of the throne, and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the presbyters, stood a lamb as just slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that are sent forth into all the world:
7 Ọ gara nʼihu were akwụkwọ ahụ site nʼaka nri onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze ahụ.
and he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that was seated 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 taken the book, the four living beings and the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves before the lamb, having each harps, and vases of gold, full of perfumes smoaking, 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 sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereon; because thou hast been slaughtered, and hast redeemed us for God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, 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 hast made us for our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon 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 looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the presbyters, and their number was myriads of myriads and 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.”
crying with a loud voice, Worthy is the slaughtered lamb to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, 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 which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those who are on the sea, and all things which are therein, heard I, saying, To him who is seated on the throne, and to the lamb, be blessing, and honour, and glory, and might for ever 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 beings said, Amen. And the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves, and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
