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.
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut 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? »
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break 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.
No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.
4 Tango namonaki bongo, nalelaki mingi mpo ete moko te amonanaki ete abongi mpo na kofungola buku to kotala kati na yango.
Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in 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. »
One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book 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.
I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle 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 out 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.
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who 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.
Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having 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.
They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
10 Okomisaki bango ekolo ya bakonzi mpe ya Banganga-Nzambe mpo Nzambe na biso, mpe bakokonza mokili. »
and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on 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,
I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, 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 who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, 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)
I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!” (aiōn g165)
14 Bikelamu minei ya bomoi bazalaki kozongisa: « Amen. » Mpe bampaka bafukamaki mpe bagumbamelaki.
The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the elders fell down and worshiped.
