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 this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here, and I will show thee things which must be after this.

2 Mbala moko, Molimo asimbaki ngai mpe namonaki kati na Lola Kiti moko ya Bokonzi oyo moto moko avandelaki.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat 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 that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was a rainbow around the throne, in sight like an emerald.

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.

And around the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns 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 out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the 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 in front of the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living beings full of eyes before and behind.

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 living being was like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being was like a flying eagle.

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 the four living beings had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, 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 those living beings give glory and honour and thanks to him that is seated on the throne, 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 four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns 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. »

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
