Ugubukulo 5
1 Kangi nikalola chitabu muchiwoko cha kulyela cha mwenuyo mweatamili pachigoda cha unkosi, chene chayandikwi mugati na kuvala na kudindwa kwa munemu wenuwo na kudindwa kwa minemu saba? Vidindilu vya mnemu.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 Nikalola mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mweavi na makakala ikemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Yani mweiyidakiliwa kugagandula chidindilu chitabu chenicho?”
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals?
3 Nambu avi lepi mundu yoyoha kunani kwa Chapanga amala pamulima amala pandima mweahotwili kudindula chitabu icho amala mweahotwili kuchilola mugati.
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look on it.
4 Hinu nene navembili neju ndava muni avi lepi mundu mweayidakiliwi kuchidindula, amala kuchilola mugati.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look on it.
5 Kangi mmonga wa vagogo vala akanijovela, “Kotoka kuvemba! Lola Lihimba wa likabila la Yuda chiveleku cha Daudi, ahotwili. Mwene ihotola kugagandula vidindilu saba vya chitabu chenicho.”
And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose its seven seals.
6 Kangi nikalola pagati ya chigoda cha Mwanalimbelele ayimili, atindilwi kila pandi na vala viumbi wumi mcheche na vagogo vala. Mwanalimbele uyo awonikini ngati ahinjiwi. Avili na mang'elu saba na mihu saba, ndi mipungu saba ya Chapanga zezapelikwi kila pandu pamulima.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 Mwanalimbelele akahamba, akatola chitabu chila kuhuma muchiwoko cha kulyela cha yula mweatamili pachigoda cha unkosi.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 Bahapo peamali kutola chitabu chenicho, vala viumbi wumi mcheche pamonga na vala vagogo ishilini na mcheche vakagwa chakukupama palongolo ya Mwanalimbelele. Kila mmonga avili na kanjeke na nkeve wa zahabu wewamemili ubani na, ndi mayupu ga vandu va Chapanga.
And when he had taken the book, the four living beings and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 Hinu, vakayimba lunyimbu ulu lwa mupya, “Veve wiyidakiliwa kuchitola chitabu chenicho na kudindula vidindilu vyaki. Ndava muni veve uhinjiwi, na kwa ngasi yaku umsangwili Chapanga witu vandu kuhuma kila likabila, luga na lukolo vandu va kila mulima langi ya kila mundu.
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 kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 Uvahengili unkosi wa vamteta vamhengela Chapanga witu, vene yati vilongosa mulima.”
And hast made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 Panayendalili kulola, nikayuwana lwami lwa vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vamahele neju, vangavalangika. Vayimili kutindila chigoda cha unkosi, na viumbi wumi mcheche na vala vagogo,
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living beings and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 vakajova kwa lwami luvaha: “Mwanalimbelele mweahinjiwi ayidakiliwi kupokela, uhotola vindu vyamahele na luhala na makakala na ukulu ulumba na utopesa.”
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 Nikayuwana viumbi vyoha kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima na pahi ya mulima na nyanja, viumbi vyoha pamulima vikajova: “Kwa mwene mweitama pachigoda cha unkosi na kwa Mwanalimbelele, ivya ulumba na utopela na ukulu na unkosi na makakala magono goha gangali mwishu.” (aiōn g165)
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be to him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Vala viumbi wumi mcheche vakajova, “Ena!” Na vala vagogo vakagwa chakukupama, vakagundama.
And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
