Ufunuo 7
1 Baada jha agha nabhwene malaika bhancheche bhajhemili mu kona sincheche sya dunia, bhabesili pepo sincheche sya nchi kwa nghofu ili kwamba pasijhi ni mp'ongo bhwabhwibhuma mu nchi, panani pa bahari au dhidi jha libehe lyolyoha.
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.
2 Nikabhona malaika jhongi ihida kuhoma mashariki, jhaajhele ni muhuri bhwa K'yara jha ajhe hai. Akalela kwa sauti mbaha kwa malaika bhancheche ambabho bhapelibhu ruhusa jha kudhuru nchi ni bahari:
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:
3 “Musiidhuru nchi, bahari, au libehe mpaka patwibetakujha tumalili kubheka muhuri pa paji sya mitu ghya bhatumishi bha K'yara ghwitu.”
“Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
4 Nikapeleka idadi jha bhala bhabhasopibhu muhuri: 144, 000, ambabho bhasopibhu muhuri kuhoma khila likabila lya bhanu bha Israel:
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel:
5 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Yuda bhabhekibhu muhuri, 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Rubeni, 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Gadi.
From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Asheri, 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Naftali, 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Manase.
from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Simoni, 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Lawi, 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Isakari,
from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Zebuloni, 12, 000 kuhoma mu kabila lya Yusufu, ni kuhoma mu kabila lya Benyamini bhabhekibhu muhuri.
from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, and from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
9 Baada jha mambo agha nalangili, na kwajhele ni umati mbaha ambabho ajhelepi munu ngaabhwesili kuubhalanga kuhoma kila taifa, kabila, jamaa, ni lugha- bhajhemili palongolo pa kiti kya enzi ni palongolo pa mwanakondoo. Bhajhele bhafwalili kanzu sibhalafu na bhajhe ni matawi gha mitende mumabhoko gha bhene,
After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
10 na bhakajha bhikuta kwa sauti mbaha: “Bhwokovu ndo kwa K'yara ambajhe atamili pa kiti kya enzi ni kwa mwanakondoo!”
And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 Malaika bhoha bhajhemili kusyongoka kiti kya enzi ni kubhasyongoka bhala bhaseya pamonga ni bhene uhai bhancheche, bhakajhinama pasi pa lifu ni kubheka nyuso sya bhene panani pa lifu palongolo pa kiti kya enzi ni kumwabudu K'yara.
And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,
12 Bhakajobha, “Amina! Sifa, bhutukufu, hekima, shukrani, heshima, uwezo ni nghofu fijhelayi kwa K'yara bhitu milele ni milele! Amina!” (aiōn g165)
saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn g165)
13 Kisha mmonga ghwa bhala bhaseya akan'kota, “abha bha niani bhabhafwalili kanzu sibhalafu, na bhahomili ndaku?
Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”
14 Nikan'jobhela, “Bwana mbaha, umanyili bhebhe,” na akan'jobhela, “Abha ndo bhala bhabhahomili mu dhiki mbaha. Bhasichapili kanzu sya bhene ni kujha sibhalafu kama damu jha mwanakondoo.
“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Kwandabha ejhe, bhajhele pa kiti kya enzi kya K'yara, na bhikamwabudu muene kiru ni musi mu hekalu lyake. Muene jhatamili pa kiti kya enzi ibeta kusambaza hema jha muene panani pa bhene.
For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.
16 Bhibeta lepi kubhona njala kabhele, wala kiu kabhele. Lijobha libetalepi kubhanyanya, wala joto lya kunyanya.
‘Never again will they hunger, and never will they thirst; nor will the sun beat down upon them, nor any scorching heat.’
17 Kwa kujha mwanakondoo jha ajhele pagati pa kiti kya enzi ibeta kujha mchungaji ghwa bhene, na ibeta kabhalongosya mu chemchemi jha masi gha usima, ni K'yara ibetakufuta khila lihosi mu mihu gha bhene.”
For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. ‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
