Emoniseli 4
1 Sima na makambo oyo, namonaki ekuke moko efungwama kati na Lola. Bongo mongongo oyo nayokaki koloba na ngai lokola kelelo na mbala ya liboso elobaki na ngai lisusu: « Mata awa, mpe nakolakisa yo makambo oyo esengeli koya sima na oyo. »
After these things, I looked and lo, a door was open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard, was as of a trumpet talking with me. It said, Come up hither; and I will show thee the things that must occur hereafter.
2 Mbala moko, Molimo asimbaki ngai mpe namonaki kati na Lola Kiti moko ya Bokonzi oyo moto moko avandelaki.
Instantly, I was in the Spirit: and lo, a throne was placed in heaven; and there was one seated on the throne.
3 Mpe Ye oyo avandaki na Kiti yango ya Bokonzi azalaki komonana lokola Jasipe mpe Saridwane oyo ezali mabanga ya talo. Monama ezingelaki Kiti yango ya Bokonzi, ezalaki kongenga lokola libanga ya talo oyo babengaka emerode.
And he who sat, was like the appearance of a jasper-stone, and of a sardine sard, and of a rainbow of the clouds, round about the throne, in form as the appearance of emeralds.
4 Zingazinga ya Kiti yango ya Bokonzi, ezalaki mpe na bakiti mosusu tuku mibale na minei ya bokonzi, mpe bampaka tuku mibale na minei bavandelaki yango. Bampaka yango balataki bilamba ya pembe, mpe bazalaki na mitole ya wolo na mito na bango.
Around the throne were twenty and four seats; and upon those seats sat twenty and four Elders, who were clothed in white robes, and on whose heads were coronets of gold.
5 Wuta na Kiti yango ya Bokonzi, mikalikali ezalaki kongenga, makelele ya mingongo mpe lokito ya bakake ezalaki koyokana. Mpe liboso ya Kiti yango, minda sambo ezalaki kopela: ezali milimo sambo ya Nzambe.
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and the sound of thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Na liboso ya Kiti yango ya Bokonzi, ezalaki lisusu na etando moko oyo ezalaki lokola talatala, mpe monene na yango ezalaki lokola molayi ya ebale monene. Ezalaki kongala lokola libanga ya talo oyo babengaka krisitali. Na kati mpe na zingazinga ya Kiti yango ya Bokonzi, ezalaki na bikelamu minei ya bomoi oyo banzoto na bango ezalaki etonda na miso na liboso mpe na sima.
And before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, were four Animals, full of eyes in their front and in their rear.
7 Ekelamu ya liboso azalaki lokola nkosi; ya mibale, lokola mwana ngombe ya mobali; ya misato azalaki na elongi lokola ya moto, mpe ya minei azalaki lokola mpongo oyo ezali kopumbwa.
And the first Animal resembled a lion; and the second Animal resembled a calf; and the third Animal had a face like a man; and the fourth Animal resembled an eagle when flying.
8 Moko na moko kati na bikelamu nyonso minei azalaki na mapapu motoba, mpe nzoto na ye ezalaki etonda na miso, ezala na se ya mapapu. Butu mpe moyi, bazalaki kolemba te koloba:
And these four Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, who was, and is, and is to come.
9 Na tango nyonso oyo bikelamu ya bomoi bazalaki kopesa nkembo, lokumu mpe matondi epai na Ye oyo avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi mpe azali na bomoi seko na seko, (aiōn g165)
And when these Animals give glory and honor and praise to him that sitteth on the throne, to him who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 bampaka tuku mibale na minei bazalaki kogumbama liboso ya Ye oyo avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi, kogumbamela Ye oyo azali na bomoi seko na seko mpe kokitisa mitole na bango liboso ya Kiti ya Bokonzi na koloba: (aiōn g165)
the twenty and four Elders fall down before him who sitteth on the throne, and they worship him who liveth for ever and ever; and they cast their coronets before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 « Nkolo mpe Nzambe na biso, obongi na nkembo, na lokumu mpe na nguya, pamba te Yo nde okela biloko nyonso: ezalaki mpe ekelamaki mpo na mokano na Yo. »
Worthy art thou, O Lord our God, the Holy, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thee they exist; and because of thy pleasure they had being and were created.
