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 that sat on the throne a book written within and without, 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 mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals of it?
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 in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the book, or 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 one was found worthy to open and read the book, nor to look into 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 of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to 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.
And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four animals, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb, as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
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 sat 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 animals, and the twenty four elders, fell down before the Lamb, having every one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, 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 its seals; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to 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 to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on 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 beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round the throne and the animals and the elders: and the number of them 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.”
saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, 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 I heard every creature in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that are in them, saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, 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 animals said, Amen: and the twenty four elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth to endless ages.
