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 these things I saw four angels, who stood on the four corners of the earth; and they held the four winds of the earth, so that the wind blew not on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on the trees.
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.
And I saw another angel, and he came up from the rising of the sun; and he had the seal of the living God; and he called out, with a loud voice, to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying:
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. »
Hurt ye not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the servants of our God upon 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.
And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed from every tribe of Israelites.
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, twelve thousand were sealed: 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 Ashur, 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 Zebulon, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin, 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;
And after these things, I looked, and lo, a great multitude, which no one could number, from all kindreds, and nations, and tribes, and tongues; who stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms 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. »
and they cried, with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, to him who sitteth 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
And all the angels stood around the throne and the Elders and the four Animals; and they fell upon their faces before his throne, and worshipped 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, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God, for ever and ever: Amen. (aiōn g165)
13 Bongo moko kati na bampaka atunaki ngai: — Bato oyo balati banzambala ya pembe bazali banani mpe bawuti wapi?
And one of the Elders turned, and said to me: These who are clothed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
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.
And I said to him: My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who came from great affliction; and they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
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 are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night, in his temple; and he who sitteth on the throne, will protect them:
16 Bakoyoka lisusu nzala te, posa ya mayi mpe koswa ya moyi to molunge;
they will not hunger, nor thirst any more; nor will the sun fall 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.
Because the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, will feed them; and will lead them to fountains of living water; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.
