Mkpughe 7
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ahụrụ m ndị mmụọ ozi anọ ka ha guzo nʼakụkụ anọ nke ụwa. Ha na-egbochikwa ka ifufe ọbụla ghara ife nʼelu ala, na nʼelu osimiri, na nʼelu osisi.
And after this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow upon the earth, nor the sea, nor upon any tree.
2 Mgbe ahụ, ahụkwara m mmụọ ozi ọzọ ka o si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na-apụta, akara Chineke dị ndụ dịkwa nʼaka ya. O tikuru ndị mmụọ ozi anọ ahụ mkpu, bụ ndị ahụ e nyere ike imekpa ụwa ahụ, ya na oke osimiri,
And I saw another angel coming up from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given unto them to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 na-asị, “Unu emebila ụwa maọbụ oke osimiri maọbụ osisi ọbụla tutu ruo mgbe anyị kachara ndị ohu niile nke Chineke anyị akara nʼegedege ihu ha.”
saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we may seal the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 Mgbe ahụ anụrụ m ọnụọgụgụ ndị a kara akara ahụ, ha dị narị puku mmadụ, na iri puku mmadụ anọ na anọ, bụ ndị sitere nʼebo niile nke Izrel.
And I heard the number of the sealed ones: a hundred and forty-four thousand were sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel?
5 Ndị a kara akara site nʼebo Juda dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. Ndị si nʼebo Ruben dịkwa puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. Ndị si nʼebo Gad dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ.
Out of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;
6 E sitere nʼebo Asha họpụta puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. Ndị sitekwara nʼebo Naftalị dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. E sitere nʼebo Manase họpụta puku mmadụ iri na abụọ.
of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Napthali, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand;
7 Ndị si nʼebo Simiọn dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. Ndị sitere nʼebo Livayị dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. Ndị si nʼebo Isaka dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ.
of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand;
8 E sitere nʼebo Zebụlọn họpụta puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. Ndị si nʼebo Josef dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ. Ndị sikwa nʼebo Benjamin dị puku mmadụ iri na abụọ.
of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ahụrụ m oke igwe mmadụ, ndị dị ọtụtụ nʼọnụọgụgụ nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ. Ha sitere na mba dị iche iche na ebo dị iche iche na ndị niile na asụsụ dị iche iche, na-eguzo nʼihu ocheeze ahụ na nʼihu Nwa Atụrụ ahụ. Ha yikwasịrị onwe ha uwe ọcha, jirikwa igu nkwụ nʼaka ha.
After these things I saw, and behold a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of every nation, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 Ma ha ji oke olu na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Nzọpụta dịrị Chineke anyị, onye na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ahụ, dịkwara Nwa atụrụ ahụ.”
and they are crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, the one sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.
11 Ndị mmụọ ozi niile ahụ guzoro ocheeze ahụ gburugburu, ha na ndị okenye ahụ na anụ anọ ahụ dị ndụ. Ha dara, kpuo ihu ha nʼala nʼihu ocheeze ahụ feekwa Chineke ofufe,
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and fell down before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God,
12 na-asị, “Amen! Ngọzị niile na otuto niile, na amamihe niile na ekele niile na nsọpụrụ niile na ike niile na ume niile, dịrị Chineke anyị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen.” (aiōn g165)
saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, to our God unto the ages of the ages: Amen. (aiōn g165)
13 Mgbe ahụ, otu nʼime ndị okenye ahụ zara m sị, “Ị maara ndị ahụ, ndị a e gbokwasịrị uwe ọcha ahụ, ebee ka ha siri pụta?”
And one of the elders responded, to me saying, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and whence came they?
14 Asịrị m, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụ gị maara.” Ọ sịrị m, “Ndị a bụ ndị sitere nʼime oke mkpagbu ahụ pụta. Ha bụ ndị sachara uwe ha, mee ha ka ha dịrị ọcha site nʼọbara Nwa Atụrụ ahụ.
And I said unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me; These are those coming up out of great tribulation, who have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Ọ bụ nke a mere, “ha ji guzoro nʼihu ocheeze Chineke na-efe ya ofufe ehihie na abalị nʼime ụlọnsọ ya. Onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze ahụ ga-ekpuchikwa ha.
On account of this they are before the throne of God, and they worship him day and night in his temple, and the one sitting upon the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 ‘Agụụ agaghị agụkwa ha ọzọ. Akpịrị agaghị akpọkwa ha nkụ mgbe ọbụla. Anyanwụ agaghị achakwa ha ọzọ,’ okpomọkụ ọbụla agaghị erute ebe ha nọ.
And they will never hunger or thirst any more; neither will the sun, or any heat, fall on them:
17 Nʼihi na Nwa Atụrụ ahụ nke nọ nʼetiti ocheeze ahụ ga-abụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ha; ‘ọ ga-edurukwa ha jee nʼisi mmiri nke ndụ ahụ.’ ‘Chineke ga-ehichapụkwa anya mmiri ọbụla site nʼanya ha.’”
because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will shepherdize them, and guide them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe every tear out of their eyes.
