Oufunuo 7
1 Afume epo ehalolile antumwa bhane bhemeleye hukona zinee ezyensi, bhazijile ehaala vinee eyensi hunguvu aje pasahabhe nehalaa yevugula epa pansi, pamwanya pansombi olwenje mwikwi lyolyonti.
Then I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding back the earth's four winds to prevent any wind from blowing on the earth, or over the sea, or against any tree.
2 Nalola ontumi owa mwabho ahwenza hu mashariki yaharino muhuri owa Ngolobhe yalimwomi walila husauti engosi wantumi bhane bhapata oruhusa anankanye ensi nensumbi:
I watched another angel rise up from the east, holding the seal of the living God. He shouted in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given the power to damage the earth and the sea,
3 “Msaiinankanye ensi, ensumbi, na makwi paka patibhabhe tibhabheti bheshele omuhuri pamate patumishi bha Ngolobhe wetu.”
“Don't hurt the earth or the sea or the trees until we have placed a seal on the foreheads of God's true followers!”
4 Nonvwa idadi ya bhala bhabhabhehewe omuhuri: 144, 000, bhabha bhehwelwe kila likabela elya bhantu bha Israeli:
I was told the number of those who were sealed: one hundred and forty-four thousand. Those who were sealed came from every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 12, 000 afume hwi kabela elya Yuda bhabhehwelwe omuhuri, 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Rubeni, 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Gadi.
twelve thousand from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand from the tribe of Gad,
6 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Asheri, 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Naftali, 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Manase.
twelve thousand from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand from the tribe of Manasseh,
7 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Simoni, 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Lawi, 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Isakari,
twelve thousand from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand from the tribe of Issachar,
8 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Yusufu, na 12, 000 afume hwi kabela lya Benyamini bhabhehwelwe omuhuri.
twelve thousand from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand from the tribe of Benjamin.
9 Afume humbambo ega ehenyizye, hwali na oumati ogosi washele nomo omntu yabajie abhazye - afume kila nsii, ekabila, amwabho, nenjango - bhemeleye napitagalila pitengo elyeshemwene napitagalila pa Mwanangole. Bhali nensamba ezye mitende mmakhono gabho,
After this I looked and saw a great crowd that nobody could count, made up of every nation, tribe, people and language. They were standing in front of the throne and the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
10 bhali bhakwizya husauti yapamwanya: “Owaule hwa Ngolobhe yashele akheye pitengo elyeshi mwene, nahwa Mwanangole!”
They gave a loud shout, “Salvation is from our God who sits on the throne, and from the Lamb.”
11 Antumwa bhoti bhabha hemeleye azyongole itengo elyeshi mwene nazyongole bhala agogolo pandwemo naabhe hwomi bhane, bhaundama pansi pinkondi bhabheha emonji zyabho pamwanya pikondi pitagalila pitengo elyeshimwene nabhaputa Ongolobhe,
All the angels surrounding the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, fell down on their faces before the throne, worshipping God.
12 bhayanga, “Owinza! Olusombo, oluzuvyo, eplana, olisombezyo, ensinsi, owezo ne nguvu vibhe hwa Ngolobhe wetu wila na wila! Amina!” (aiōn g165)
“Amen!” they said. “Blessing, glory, wisdom, gratitude, honor, power, and strength, be to God for ever and ever. Amen.” (aiōn g165)
13 Shesho omo ogogolo wambozya, “ebha bhananu bhabhakwete enkazo enzeru, nabha fumila hwii?
One of the elders spoke to me and asked, “Who are those who are dressed in white robes, and where have they come from?”
14 Nabhozya, “Lumegosi, omenye awe,” wambozya, “Ebha bhabhala bhafumile mmayemba amagosi. Bhozizye enkazo zyabho naje zibhe nzeru hwidanda elye Mwanangole.
I replied, “My Lord, you know the answer.” He told me, “These are the ones who have passed through great persecution. They washed their robes, making them white through the blood of the Lamb.
15 Hweshi bhali hwitagalila hwitengo eleyshimwene sha Ngolobhe, nabhahuputa umwene osiku nosanya hwi hekalu lyakwe. Yakheye pamwanya pitengo elyeshimwene abhanyampanye ehema zyakwe pamwanya pabho.
That's why they can stand in front of God's throne, and they serve him day and night in his Temple. The one who sits on the throne will protect them with his presence.
16 Sebhabhalole enzala nantele hata eshomelwa nantele. Isanya selibhabhoshe hata ilyoto elyabhoshe.
They will never be hungry ever again, or thirsty; the sun will not beat down on them and they will not suffer scorching heat,
17 Omwanangole yali hwitengo elyeshe mwene, abhabhe dimi wabho amenze ege hwomi, no Ngolobhe abhasyomole kualinsozi humaso gabho.”
because the Lamb who is at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
