Okubikkulirwa 4
1 Laba, oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne ndaba oluggi oluggule mu ggulu, era ne mpulira n’eddoboozi lye limu lye nawulira olubereberye eryali livuga ng’eryekkondere nga liŋŋamba nti, “Yambuka wano nkulage ebyo ebiteekwa okubaawo oluvannyuma lwa biri.”
After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will shew thee the things which must take place after these things.
2 Amangwago, nga ndi mu mwoyo, laba, ne ndaba entebe ey’obwakabaka ng’etegekeddwa mu ggulu, ne ku ntebe eyo nga kuliko atuddeko.
Immediately I became in [the] Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting,
3 Eyali agituddeko yali ayakaayakana ng’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi aga yasepi ne sadio; era ng’entebe eyo yeetooloddwa musoke ng’ayakaayakana nga zumaliidi.
and he [that was] sitting like in appearance to a stone [of] jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald.
4 Entebe ey’obwakabaka yali yeetooloddwa entebe endala amakumi abiri mu nnya nga zituuliddwako abakadde amakumi abiri mu bana, bonna nga bambadde engoye enjeru nga balina engule eza zaabu ku mitwe gyabwe.
And round the throne twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed with white garments; and on their heads golden crowns.
5 Mu ntebe eyo ey’obwakabaka ne muvaamu okumyansa n’amaloboozi n’okubwatuka. Mu maaso g’entebe eyo waaliwo ettabaaza ezaaka musanvu, nga gy’emyoyo omusanvu egya Katonda.
And out of the throne go forth lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and seven lamps of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;
6 Ne mu maaso g’entebe eyo waaliwo ekiri ng’ennyanja ey’endabirwamu, ekifaanana nga kulusitalo. Waaliwo ebiramu bina ebijjudde amaaso mu bwenyi n’emabega waabyo nga biri wakati w’entebe ey’obwakabaka n’okugyetooloola.
and before the throne, as a glass sea, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures, full of eyes, before and behind;
7 Ekisooka ku biramu bino kyali ng’empologoma, ekyokubiri nga kifaanana ng’ennyana, n’ekyokusatu kyalina amaaso ng’ag’omuntu, n’ekyokuna kyali ng’empungu, ebuuka.
and the first living creature like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.
8 Buli kimu ku biramu bino ebina kyalina ebiwaawaatiro mukaaga nga bijjudde amaaso enjuuyi zonna ne wansi. Era buli lunaku emisana n’ekiro, awatali kuwummula, nga bigamba nti,
And the four living creatures, each one of them having respectively six wings; round and within they are full of eyes; and they cease not day and night saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
9 Era ebiramu ebyo ebina, buli lwe byawanga ekitiibwa n’ettendo n’okwebaza, Oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, abeera omulamu emirembe gyonna, (aiōn g165)
And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanksgiving to him that sits upon the throne, who lives to the ages of ages, (aiōn g165)
10 abakadde amakumi abiri mu abana ne bavuunama mu maaso g’Oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, omulamu emirembe n’emirembe, ne bamusinza. Ne bateeka engule zaabwe mu maaso g’entebe eyo, nga bwe bagamba nti, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders shall fall before him that sits upon the throne, and do homage to him that lives to the ages of ages; and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 “Mukama waffe era Katonda waffe, osaanidde okuweebwanga ekitiibwa n’ettendo n’obuyinza, kubanga gwe watonda ebintu byonna era byonna byatondebwa ku lulwo era gwe wasiima okubiteekawo.”
Thou art worthy, O our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy will they were, and they have been created.
