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.
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed shut 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?”
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, 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.
No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look in 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 one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in 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.”
One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Look, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so that he can open the scroll and loose 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.
I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Ruachs of God, sent out into all the earth.
7 Ọ gara nʼihu were akwụkwọ ahụ site nʼaka nri onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze ahụ.
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on 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.
Now when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the kadoshim.
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.
They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and redeemed for God with your blood those from every tribe, language, 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 made them a kingdom and cohanim to our God, and they will reign on 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.
I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, 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.”
saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, 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)
I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, 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.
The four living creatures were saying, "Amen." The elders fell down and worshiped.
