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 this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 Amangwago, nga ndi mu mwoyo, laba, ne ndaba entebe ey’obwakabaka ng’etegekeddwa mu ggulu, ne ku ntebe eyo nga kuliko atuddeko.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne.
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 sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto 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 about the throne [were] four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
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 proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] 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 [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts 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 beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] 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 beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and 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 those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (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 four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and 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 Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
