Emoniseli 10
1 Bongo namonaki anjelu mosusu ya nguya makasi kokita wuta na Lola; lipata moko ezipaki ye mpe monama ezingelaki moto na ye. Elongi na ye ezali kongenga lokola moyi, mpe makolo na ye ezalaki lokola makonzi ya moto.
Then I saw a mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.
2 Na loboko na ye, asimbaki buku ya moke oyo ezalaki ya kofungwama. Atiaki lokolo na ye ya mobali na ebale monene, mpe oyo ya mwasi, na mokili;
In his hand he held an open scroll. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3 bongo agangaki makasi lokola nkosi. Tango agangaki, bakake sambo ebetaki.
and cried out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.
4 Mpe tango kaka bakake sambo etikaki kobeta, namibongisaki mpo na kokoma; kasi mongongo moko elobaki na ngai wuta na Lola: « Batela malamu makambo oyo bakake sambo ewuti koloba, kokoma yango te. »
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
5 Bongo anjelu oyo namonaki atelemi na ebale monene mpe na mokili atombolaki loboko ya mobali na ngambo ya Lola
Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
6 mpe alapaki ndayi na Kombo ya Ye oyo azali na bomoi seko na seko, Ye oyo akela Lola mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, mabele mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango: « Kobanda sik’oyo, tango ya kozela ezali lisusu te! (aiōn g165)
and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it, and said that there would no longer be delay, (aiōn g165)
7 Kasi na mokolo oyo anjelu ya sambo akobeta kelelo na ye, mabombami ya Nzambe ekokokisama ndenge kaka asakolaki yango na basali na Ye, basakoli. »
but that in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God would be completed, according to the good news he announced to his servants the prophets.
8 Bongo mongongo oyo nayokaki wuta na Lola elobaki na ngai lisusu: « Kende, zwa buku oyo ezali ya kofungwama na loboko ya anjelu oyo atelemi na ebale monene mpe na mokili. »
Then the voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9 Boye, nakendeki epai ya anjelu mpe nasengaki na ye ete apesa ngai buku wana ya moke. Alobaki na ngai: « Kamata mpe lia yango. Ekokoma bololo na libumu na yo; kasi na monoko na yo, ekozala sukali lokola mafuta ya nzoyi. »
So I went over to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take the scroll and eat it. It will make yoʋr stomach bitter, but in yoʋr mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
10 Nakamataki buku yango na loboko ya anjelu mpe naliaki yango. Na monoko na ngai, ezalaki sukali lokola mafuta ya nzoyi; kasi sima na ngai kolia yango, ekomaki bololo kati na libumu na ngai.
So I took the scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. In my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.
11 Bongo balobaki na ngai: « Osengeli lisusu kosakola na tina na bikolo ebele, mabota ebele, nkota ebele mpe bakonzi ebele. »
Then I was told, “Yoʋ must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
