Emoniseli 7
1 Sima na makambo wana, namonaki ba-anjelu minei batelemi na basonge nyonso minei ya mokili, bazali kokanga mipepe nyonso minei ya mokili mpo ete mopepe ata moke te epepa na mokili to na ebale monene to mpe na banzete.
And after this, I saw four angels standing on the four quarters of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
2 Bongo namonaki anjelu mosusu azali komata longwa na este mpe asimbi kashe ya Nzambe na bomoi. Agangaki na mongongo makasi epai ya ba-anjelu minei oyo Nzambe apesaki nguya ya kosala mabe na mokili mpe na ebale monene.
I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He called out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 Alobaki na bango: « Bosala mabe te na mokili to na ebale monene to mpe na banzete, kino tokosilisa kobeta kashe na bambunzu ya basali ya Nzambe na biso. »
saying, "Do not harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."
4 Bongo nayokaki motango ya bato oyo babetamaki kashe: nkoto nkama moko na tuku minei na minei; bazalaki bato ya mabota nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele.
I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 Kati na libota ya Yuda, bato nkoto zomi na mibale babetamaki kashe; kati na libota ya Ribeni, bato nkoto zomi na mibale; kati na libota ya Gadi, bato nkoto zomi na mibale;
of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 kati na libota ya Aseri, bato nkoto zomi na mibale; kati na libota ya Nefitali, bato nkoto zomi na mibale; kati na libota ya Manase, bato nkoto zomi na mibale;
of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 kati na libota ya Simeoni, bato nkoto zomi na mibale; kati na libota ya Levi: bato nkoto zomi na mibale; kati na libota ya Isakari, bato nkoto zomi na mibale;
of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 kati na libota ya Zabuloni, bato nkoto zomi na mibale; kati na libota ya Jozefi, bato nkoto zomi na mibale; mpe kati na libota ya Benjame, bato nkoto zomi na mibale. Bango nyonso babetamaki kashe.
of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 Sima na makambo wana, namonaki ebele ya bato oyo moto ata moko te akokaki kotanga; bazalaki bato ya bikolo nyonso, ya mabota nyonso, ya mikili nyonso mpe ya nkota nyonso. Batelemaki liboso ya Kiti ya Bokonzi mpe liboso ya Mpate, balataki banzambala ya pembe mpe basimbaki mandalala na maboko na bango;
After these things I looked, and suddenly there was a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
10 bazalaki koganga na mongongo makasi: « Lobiko ezali ya Nzambe na biso, oyo avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi, mpe ezali ya Mpate. »
They shouted with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
11 Ba-anjelu nyonso oyo bazalaki kotelema zingazinga ya Kiti ya Bokonzi, ya bampaka mpe ya bikelamu minei ya bomoi, bagumbamaki, bilongi kino na mabele, liboso ya Kiti ya Bokonzi, mpe bagumbamelaki Nzambe
All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne, and worshiped God,
12 na koloba: « Amen! Tika ete masanzoli, nkembo, bwanya, matondi, lokumu, nguya mpe makasi ezala ya Nzambe na biso, mpo na libela na libela! Amen! » (aiōn g165)
saying, "Amen. Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen." (aiōn g165)
13 Bongo moko kati na bampaka atunaki ngai: — Bato oyo balati banzambala ya pembe bazali banani mpe bawuti wapi?
One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?"
14 Nazongiselaki ye: — Nkolo na ngai, yo nde oyebi. Bongo alobaki na ngai: — Ezali ba-oyo bawuti na minyoko makasi. Basukolaki banzambala na bango mpe bakomisaki yango pembe kati na makila ya Mpate.
So I said to him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.
15 Yango wana, batelemaka liboso ya Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe mpe basalelaka Ye kati na Tempelo na Ye, butu mpe moyi; mpe Ye oyo avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi akobatela bango kati na evandelo na Ye.
Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 Bakoyoka lisusu nzala te, posa ya mayi mpe koswa ya moyi to molunge;
They will hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;
17 pamba te Mpate oyo azali na kati-kati ya Kiti ya Bokonzi akozala Mobateli na bango, akomema bango na bitima ya mayi ya bomoi, mpe Nzambe akopangusa mpinzoli nyonso ya miso na bango.
for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
