Isambulo 5
1 Ngasengibona esandleni sokunene sowayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi ugwalo olubhalwe ngaphakathi langemuva, lunanyekiwe ngempawu eziyisikhombisa.
Καὶ εἶδον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου βιβλίον γεγραμμένον ἔσωθεν καὶ (ὄπισθεν, *NK(o)*) κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά.
2 Ngasengibona ingilosi elamandla imemeza ngelizwi elikhulu isithi: Ngubani ofanele ukuvula ugwalo, lokuqhaqha impawu zalo?
Καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον ἰσχυρὸν κηρύσσοντα ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· τίς (ἐστιν *k*) ἄξιος ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ;
3 Njalo kwakungelamuntu ezulwini, kumbe emhlabeni, kumbe ngaphansi komhlaba, owayelamandla okuvula ugwalo, kumbe ukulukhangela.
καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ (ἄνω *O*) (οὐδὲ *NK(o)*) ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς (οὐδὲ *NK(o)*) ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον (οὔτε *N(k)O*) βλέπειν αὐτό.
4 Mina ngasengikhala kakhulu, ngoba kungatholwanga loyedwa ofanele ukuluvula lokulufunda ugwalo, kumbe ukulukhangela.
καὶ (ἐγὼ *ko*) ἔκλαιον (πολὺ *N(k)O*) ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι (καὶ ἀναγνῶναι *K*) τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
5 Omunye wabadala wasesithi kimi: Ungakhali; khangela, inqobile iNgonyama evela esizweni sakoJuda, iMpande kaDavida, ukuthi ivule ugwalo lokuthi iqhaqhe impawu zalo eziyisikhombisa.
καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι· μὴ κλαῖε. ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ (ὢν *k*) ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ ῥίζα Δαυίδ, (ὁ *o*) (ἀνοῖξαι *NK(o)*) τὸ βιβλίον καὶ (λῦσαι *K*) τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.
6 Ngasengibona, futhi khangela phakathi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, lezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, langaphakathi kwabadala, iWundlu limi kungathi lihlatshiwe, lilempondo eziyisikhombisa lamehlo ayisikhombisa, okungomoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu abathunyelwe emhlabeni wonke.
καὶ εἶδον (καὶ ἰδού, *K*) ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἀρνίον (ἑστηκὸς *NK(o)*) ὡς ἐσφαγμένον (ἔχων *N(k)O*) κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτὰ (οἵ *NK(o)*) εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ (τὰ *k*) (ἀπεσταλμένοι *NK(o)*) εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
7 Laselisiza, laluthatha ugwalo esandleni sokunene sohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi.
καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ εἴληφεν (τὸ *k*) (βιβλίον *K*) ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου.
8 Kuthe seliluthethe ugwalo, izidalwa ezine eziphilayo labadala abangamatshumi amabili lane bawela phansi phambi kweWundlu, ngulowo lalowo elamachacho lemiganu yegolide igcwele impepha eyimikhuleko yabangcwele.
καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὸ βιβλίον, τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα καὶ οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου ἔχοντες ἕκαστος (κιθάραν *N(K)O*) καὶ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων.
9 Basebehlabelela ingoma entsha, besithi: Ukufanele ukuluthatha ugwalo, lokuvula impawu zalo, ngoba wahlatshwa, wasusihlengela uNkulunkulu ngegazi lakho sivela kuyo yonke imihlobo lezinlimi labantu lezizwe,
καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες· ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ θεῷ (ἡμᾶς *KO*) ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους
10 wasusenza saba ngamakhosi labapristi kuNkulunkulu wethu; njalo sizabusa emhlabeni.
καὶ ἐποίησας (αὐτοὺς *N(K)O*) τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν (βασιλείαν *N(K)O*) καὶ ἱερεῖς, καὶ (βασιλεύσουσιν *N(K)(o)*) ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
11 Ngasengibona, ngezwa ilizwi lengilosi ezinengi zihanqe isihlalo sobukhosi lezidalwa eziphilayo labadala; lenani lazo laliyizigidi zezigidi, lenkulungwane zezinkulungwane,
Καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἤκουσα (ὡς *O*) φωνὴν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν (κύκλῳ *N(k)O*) τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων. (καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων *NO*) καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων
12 zisithi ngelizwi elikhulu: Lifanele iWundlu elahlatshwayo ukwemukela amandla lenotho lenhlakanipho lengalo lodumo lobukhosi lokudunyiswa.
λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· ἄξιόν ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν καὶ (τὸν *o*) πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.
13 Laso sonke isidalwa esisezulwini, lemhlabeni, langaphansi komhlaba, lezinto eziselwandle, lakho konke okukikho, ngakuzwa kusithi: Kuye ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi lakulo iWundlu kakube ukudunyiswa lodumo lobukhosi lamandla kuze kube nini lanini. (aiōn g165)
καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ (ἐστιν *k*) ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ (ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς *N(k)O*) καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης (ἅ *k*) (ἐστὶν *ko*) καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς (πάντα *N(k)O*) ἤκουσα λέγοντας· τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ (τῷ θρόνῳ *N(k)O*) καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων (ἀμήν. *O*) (aiōn g165)
14 Lezidalwa ezine eziphilayo zathi: Ameni. Labadala abangamatshumi amabili lane baziwisela phansi, basebekhonza ophilayo kuze kube phakade laphakade.
καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα (ἔλεγον· *NK(o)*) (τὸ *o*) ἀμήν. καὶ οἱ (εἴκοσιτέσσαρες εἴκοσιτέσσαρες *K*) πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν (ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰωνας τῶν αἰώνων. *K*)
