Emoniseli 5
1 Bongo namonaki, na loboko ya mobali ya Ye oyo avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi, buku moko elingama, bakoma yango na kati mpe na libanda, mpe bakanga yango na bikangelo sambo.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals.
2 Namonaki mpe anjelu moko ya nguya kosakola na mongongo makasi: « Nani abongi mpo na kobuka bikangelo ya buku mpe kofungola yango? »
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 Kasi ezala kati na Lola to na mokili to na se ya mabele, moko te akokaki kofungola buku to kotala kati na yango.
And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon.
4 Tango namonaki bongo, nalelaki mingi mpo ete moko te amonanaki ete abongi mpo na kofungola buku to kotala kati na yango.
And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon:
5 Bongo moko kati na bampaka alobaki na ngai: « Kolela te! Tala! Nkosi ya libota ya Yuda, Mokitani ya Davidi, alongaki mpo na kobuka bikangelo sambo mpe kofungola buku yango. »
and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof.
6 Mpe namonaki Mpate moko ya kotelema na kati-kati ya Kiti ya Bokonzi, mpe bazingela na bikelamu minei ya bomoi elongo na bampaka. Mpate yango amonanaki lokola nde basilaki koboma Ye; azalaki na maseke sambo mpe miso sambo oyo ezali milimo sambo ya Nzambe, oyo etindama na mokili mobimba.
And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
7 Mpate apusanaki mpo na kozwa buku wuta na loboko ya ngambo ya mobali ya Ye oyo avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi.
And he came, and he taketh [it] out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
8 Tango kaka azwaki buku, bikelamu minei ya bomoi mpe bampaka tuku mibale na minei bagumbamaki liboso ya Mpate. Moko na moko kati na bango asimbaki na loboko na ye lindanda mpe kopo ya wolo etonda na ansa oyo ezali mabondeli ya basantu.
And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 Mpe bayembaki nzembo ya sika: « Obongi na kozwa buku mpe kobuka bikangelo na yango, pamba te babomaki Yo; bongo na nzela ya makila na Yo, osikolaki, mpo na Nzambe, bato ya bikolo nyonso, ya nkota nyonso, ya mikili nyonso mpe ya mabota nyonso.
And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood [men] of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10 Okomisaki bango ekolo ya bakonzi mpe ya Banganga-Nzambe mpo Nzambe na biso, mpe bakokonza mokili. »
and madest them [to be] unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth.
11 Bongo natalaki mpe nayokaki mongongo ya ba-anjelu ebele, oyo motango na bango ezalaki bankoto na bankoto; bazingelaki Kiti ya Bokonzi, bikelamu ya bomoi mpe bampaka,
And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 mpe bazalaki koloba na mongongo makasi: « Mpate oyo babomaki abongi na kozwa nguya, bomengo, bwanya mpe makasi, lokumu, nkembo mpe masanzoli. »
saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
13 Bongo nayokaki bikelamu nyonso oyo ezalaka kati na Lola, na mabele, na se ya mabele mpe na likolo ya ebale monene; bango nyonso bazalaki koloba: « Tika ete masanzoli mpe lokumu, nkembo mpe nguya ezonga epai ya Mpate mpe epai na Ye oyo avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi (aiōn g165)
And every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all things that are in them, heard I saying, Unto him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb, [be] the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Bikelamu minei ya bomoi bazalaki kozongisa: « Amen. » Mpe bampaka bafukamaki mpe bagumbamelaki.
And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.
