< Ufunuo 4 >
1 Naiakee imakani aya nikagoza, nikaona kina umulango auluguwe kilunde. Ulo uloli lang'wandyo, ikaze ligitya nunene anga itarumbeta, ikalunga nzi kunu, kuulagila aya niikapumila angakela imakani aya.
After all this I looked and saw a door in Heaven standing open, and the voice that I had previously heard, which resembled the blast of a trumpet, again spoke to me and said, "Come up here, and I will show you things which are to happen in the future."
2 Nkua eng'wi ainkale ikinkolo, aimine aikole ni tuntu lautemi leikilwe kilunde, numuntu ulikaie.
Immediately I found myself in the Spirit, and saw a throne in Heaven, and some One sitting on the throne.
3 Ung'wi naulikae aiwigee anga igwe nila yasipi niakiki. Aiukole nuuta nuambula aiupilimiye ituntu nilautemi. Uuta nua mbula awigee anga zumaridi.
The appearance of Him who sat there was like jasper or sard; and encircling the throne was a rainbow, in appearance like an emerald.
4 Kulipilimikilya ituntu la utemi aiakole imatuntu autemi nimangiza ishilini nanne, hangi aikie matuntu autemi aikie ianyampala ishilini nanne, akumbilwe ang'wenda elu ni ngala sahabu mumatwe ao.
Surrounding the throne there were also twenty-four other thrones, on which sat twenty-four Elders clothed in white robes, with victors' wreaths of gold upon their heads.
5 Kupumila mituntu lautemi aipumile nzahe nialopito, numugugumo nulupeto ntala mupungate aiyakiee ntonge ela ituntu la utemi, ntala ainkulu mupungate yang'wi Tunda.
Out from the throne there came flashes of lightning, and voices, and peals of thunder, while in front of the throne seven blazing lamps were burning, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Hangi ntongeela ituntu lautemi aikole mpola, aigee anga ikioo. Ehi kupumila ituntu lautemi aikole niakete upanga anne, naiizoe imiho kuntongeela nukunyumba.
And in front of the throne there seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal. And midway between the throne and the Elders, and surrounding the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.
7 Keambe nikang'wandyo ukete upanga welu anga ung'wang'ombe, kumbe nuakatatu ukete upanga akete uusu anga umuntu, nuyu nukete upanga nuaka ne aiihanganga inde nilumile.
The first living creature resembled a lion, the second an ox, the third had a face like that of a man, and the fourth resembled an eagle flying.
8 Iumbe ine niikete upanga kila ung'wiao aukete manana mutandatu, izue imiho migulya nipihe akwe. Utiku numung'wi shaikilaga kulunga, ukulu, ukulu, numukulu Itunda mutemi nuaintu yehi, naizukole nuyu naukole hangi nuyu nuzizeza.
And each of the four living creatures had six wings, and in every direction, and within, are full of eyes; and day after day, and night after night, they never cease saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Ruler of all, who wast and art and evermore shalt be."
9 Kila imatungo iumbe nikete upanga aipumilye ukulu, ikulyo nuulumbi ntongeela ang'wa uyu naiwikie mituntu nilautemi, nuanso nukie kalinikali. (aiōn )
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who is seated on the throne, and lives until the Ages of the Ages, (aiōn )
10 Ianyampala makumi abeeli, aiaminamie ienso ntongeela ang'wa akwe naulikae ituntu la utemi. Aiatunile pihe pang'wakwe nuikie ikale nikale nukulunga. (aiōn )
the twenty-four Elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, and they cast their wreaths down in front of the throne, (aiōn )
11 Uewe ustahile muukulu witu ni Tunda witu kusingilya ululu nikulyo ningulu. Kunsoko auiumbile iintu yehi hangi anga nuloilwe uewe, aiakole hangi aiaumbilwe.
saying, "It is fitting, O our Lord and God, That we should ascribe unto Thee the glory and the honor and the power; For Thou didst create all things, And because it was Thy will they came into existence, and were created."
