Okubikkulirwa 5
1 Awo ne ndaba omuzingo gw’ekitabo mu mukono ogwa ddyo ogw’Oyo eyali atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, nga guwandiikiddwamu munda ne kungulu era nga guteekeddwako obubonero bw’envumbo musanvu.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sits on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals.
2 Ne ndaba malayika ow’amaanyi ng’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’abuuza nti, “Ani asaanidde okubembulula obubonero obusibiddwa ku muzingo gw’ekitabo guno alyoke aguzingulule?”
And I saw a strong angel crying with a great voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?
3 Ne wataba n’omu mu ggulu newaakubadde ku nsi, wadde wansi w’ensi, eyayinza okugwanjuluza wadde okugutunulamu.
And no one in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look upon it.
4 Awo ne nkaaba amaziga mangi, kubanga tewaalabikawo n’omu eyasaanira okwanjuluza omuzingo newaakubadde okugutunulamu.
And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look upon it.
5 Awo omu ku bakadde abiri mu abana n’aŋŋamba nti, “Lekeraawo okukaaba, kubanga, laba, empologoma ey’omu kika kya Yuda, ow’omu lulyo lwa Dawudi, yawangula, era y’ayinza okukutula obubonero omusanvu obw’envumbo n’okuzingulula omuzingo gw’ekitabo.”
And one of the elders said to me: Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has the power to open the book and its seven seals.
6 Ne ndaba nga ali ng’Omwana gw’Endiga ng’attiddwa ng’ayimiridde wakati w’entebe ey’obwakabaka n’ebiramu ebina, ne wakati w’abakadde, ng’alina amayembe musanvu n’amaaso musanvu, gy’emyoyo omusanvu egya Katonda, egitumibwa mu buli kitundu eky’ensi.
And I saw, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, like one that had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that are sent into all the earth.
7 N’asembera n’aggya omuzingo gw’ekitabo mu mukono ogwa ddyo ogw’Oyo eyali atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka.
And he came, and took the book out of the right hand of him that sits on the throne.
8 Bwe yagukwata, ebiramu ebina n’abakadde amakumi abiri mu abana, ne bagwa mu maaso g’Omwana gw’Endiga ne bavuunama, buli omu ng’alina ennanga era ng’akutte ekibya ekya zaabu, ekyali kijjudde obubaane obwakaloosa nga butegeeza okusaba kw’abantu abatukuvu.
And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having, each of them, harps, and golden cups full of incense, which is the prayers of the saints.
9 Baali bamuyimbira oluyimba oluggya nti, “Ggw’osaanidde okutoola omuzingo gw’ekitabo, n’okusumulula ebigusibye n’okuguzingulula, kubanga wattibwa, omusaayi gwo ne gununula abantu ba Katonda okubaggya mu buli kika, na buli lulimi, na buli ggwanga, na buli nsi.
And they sung a new song, saying: Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation:
10 N’obafuula obwakabaka ne bakabona ba Katonda okumuweerezanga, era be balifuga ensi.”
and hast made us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.
11 Awo ne ndaba era ne mpulira eddoboozi lya bamalayika enkumi n’enkumi, n’enkuyanja nga beetoolodde entebe ey’obwakabaka awamu n’ebiramu biri n’abakadde bali.
And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands.
12 Ne boogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Omwana gw’Endiga eyattibwa, asaanidde okuweebwa obuyinza, n’obugagga, n’amagezi n’amaanyi, n’ekitiibwa, n’ettendo n’okwebazibwa!”
And they said, with a loud voice: Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.
13 Ne ndyoka mpulira buli kitonde kyonna mu ggulu ne ku nsi ne wansi w’ensi ne mu nnyanja ne byonna ebigirimu nga bitendereza nti, “Okutenderezebwa, n’ettendo, n’ekitiibwa, n’amaanyi by’Oyo atudde ku ntebe y’obwakabaka awamu n’Omwana gw’Endiga, (aiōn g165)
And every creature that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are on the sea, even all that are in them, I heard saying: To him that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and strength from age to age. (aiōn g165)
14 Ebiramu ebina ne biddamu nti, “Amiina.” N’abakadde ne bavuunama ne bamusinza.
And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down, and worshiped.
