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 saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a shofar speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”
2 Mbala moko, Molimo asimbaki ngai mpe namonaki kati na Lola Kiti moko ya Bokonzi oyo moto moko avandelaki.
Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting 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.
that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
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-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
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.
Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire 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.
Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures 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.
The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth 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:
The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who 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)
When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever 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-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw 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. »
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed and were created!”
