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 who sat on the throne, a scroll written within and without, 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 mighty messenger proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loose its seals?
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 one one in heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look into it.
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 abundantly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, nor to look into it.
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 said to me, Weep not; behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals.
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 beheld, in the middle space, between the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, there stood a Lamb, which seemed to have been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes; these 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 took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat upon 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 received the scroll, the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one harps, and golden vials full of perfumes, 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 sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation;
10 Okomisaki bango ekolo ya bakonzi mpe ya Banganga-Nzambe mpo Nzambe na biso, mpe bakokonza mokili. »
and hast made us, to our God, kings and priests: and we shall reign on 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 beheld, and heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and of the living creatures, and of the elders: and the number of them was myriads of myriads, 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 loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive 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 creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, even all things that are in them, I heard saying, To him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and strength, 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 worshiped him.
