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 these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, to hold back the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, neither on the sea, nor on 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 ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom power was given for 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 have sealed 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 those who were sealed; one hundred and forty and four thousand were sealed out of every tribe of the children 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.

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 looked, and beheld a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation, and tribe, and people, and tongue, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches 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 crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God that sitteth 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 in a circle about the throne, and the presbyters and the four living beings, and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped 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 honour, and power, and might be to our God for ever and ever. 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 presbyters addressed me, saying, Who are these persons who are clothed in white robes? and from 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 to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are persons who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made their robes 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.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among 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.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun scorch them, nor any burning heat.
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 who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
