Nng'ibhulo 4
1 Gakapiteje genego nashinkulola gunigubhweni nnango uugwilwe kunnungu. Na lyene lilobhe linatandwibhe kupilikana mbuti lilobhe lya lipenga lila gulishite, “Nnjiye kunani kuno, nne shininnanguye gaapinga koposhela kungai.”
After these things I looked and wow—a door standing open in the sky, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here and I will show you the things that must take place after these.”
2 Shangupe, Mbumu gwandolile, gunishibhweni shitengu sha upalume kunnungu, na panani jakwe bhapali bhaatemi.
And immediately I was in spirit, and there, a throne set in heaven (and One sitting on the throne)
3 Bhene bhaatemi panani jakwe bhala pubhaaliji mbuti alimashi na liganga lya nashe lya konja. Lipinda lya a Nnungu lya melemeta mbuti shumalidi lyatendaga kushitimbilila shitengu showe sha upalume
similar in appearance to a stone, jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow around the throne, similar in appearance to an emerald.
4 Lyashinkupagwa likungo lya itengu makumi gabhili na nsheshe kushitimbilila shitengu sha upalume shila, na panani ja yene itenguyo, bhashinkutamangana bhanangulungwa makumi gabhili na nsheshe, bhali bhawetenje nngubho ya nawe na ilemba ya shaabhu mmitwe jabhonji.
And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes and golden crowns on their heads.
5 Kumeta na lindimila na kubhalula kwa nnjai, yatendaga koposhela pene pa shitengu sha upalume pala. Mmujo mwa shitengu sha upalume yashinkupagwa kandili shabha ilikolela, yene kandiliyo ni ashimbumu shabha bha a Nnungu.
And out of the throne came lightnings and noises and thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before His throne, which are seven spirits of God;
6 Numbe mmujo mwa shene shitengu sha ukulungwasho shashinkupagwa shindu mbuti bhaali ja shioo sha melemeta mbuti liganga lya melemeta kaje. Kila mmbali ja shene shitengu sha ukulungwa na nnyenje jakwe, yashinkupagwa iumbe nsheshe ikwete gumi. Yene iumbeyo yashinkukola meyo mmujo na nnyuma.
and before the throne it was like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living beings full of eyes, front and back.
7 Shiumbe jwa ntai paaliji mbuti imba, jwa bhili mbuti ng'ombe, jwa tatu ashinkukola na lubhombo lwa mundu, na jwa nsheshe paaliji mbuti litumbui.
The first living being was similar to a lion, the second living being was similar to a calf, the third living being had a face like a man, and the fourth living being was similar to a flying eagle.
8 Iumbe yowe yashinkukola mapapiko nng'ano na limo kila jumo, na bhashinkukolanga meyo kila mmbali, nkati jabhonji na palanga. Shilo na mui bhatendaga jimbanga bhalinkutinji, “Mmaukonjelo, mmaukonjelo, mmaukonjelo, Mmakulungwa a Nnungu Nkwete mashili, bhaapali, bhapali na bhakwiyabho.”
And the four living beings, each one of them, having six wings apiece, were full of eyes around and within. And they take no rest, day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; The Lord God Almighty; He who was and who is and who is coming!”
9 Na kila yene iumbeyo puyaainiyangaga na kwaishimiya na kwaatendela eja, bhene bhatemi panani shitengu sha ukulungwa bhakwete gumi gwa piti piti bhala, (aiōn g165)
And whenever the living beings ascribe glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 bhanangulungwa makumi gabhili na nsheshe bhala, bhatendaga kotimanga mmujo ja bhene bhatemi pa shitengu sha ukulungwa na kwaatindibhalila bhene bhakwete gumi gwa piti piti bhala, na bhalibhikanga ilemba yabhonji ya ukulungwa, mmujo ja shitengu sha ukulungwa shila bhalinkutinji, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying: (aiōn g165)
11 “Mmwe ni Mmakulungwa na a Nnungu bhetu, nkupinjikwa kuposhela ukonjelo na ishima na mashili. Pabha mmwe nshipanganya indu yowe, na ishipanganywa na ipali kwa pinga kwenu.”
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created!”
