Tshenolo 4
1 Mme ya re ke leba, ka bona kgoro e butswe kwa legodimong, mme lentswe le ke neng ka le utlwa la ntlha, le le neng le utlwala jaaka tumo e kgolo ya lonaka, la bua le nna la re, “Tla kwano mme ke tlaa go supegetsa se se tlaa diragalang mo lobakeng lo lo tlang.”
After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, [a voice] as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must come to pass hereafter.
2 Mme ya re gone fela foo ka bo ke le kwa legodimong ke le mo moweng, ka bona kgalalelo ya lone! Setilo sa Bogosi le mongwe a ntse mo go sone!
Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne;
3 Phatsimo e kgolo ya lesedi ya phatsima fa pele ga gagwe jaaka ekete e tswa mo teemaneng e e galalelang, kgotsa mo lentsweng la botlhokwa le le bohibidu jo bo tsabakelang, le mola wa godimo o phatsima, o phatshima jaaka leje la botlhokwa le le tala le dikaganyeditse setilo sa gagwe sa bogosi.
and he that sat [was] to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon.
4 Ditilo tse di masome a mabedi le bone di dikaganyeditse sa gagwe, le bagolwane ba le masome a mabedi le bone ba ntse mo go tsone; botlhe ba ne ba apere bosweu, ba rwele dirwalo tsa gauta mo ditlhogong tsa bone.
And round about the throne [were] four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones [I saw] four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold.
5 Ga tswa logadima le tumo ya maru mo setilong sa bogosi, mme ga bo go na le mantswe mo tumong ya maru. Fa pele ga setilo sa gagwe sa bogosi go ne go na le dipone di supa tse di tshubilweng di emetse Mewa e supa ya Modimo.
And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;
6 Fa pele ga sone ga bo go le lewatle la leje le le phatshimang jaaka legakwa le lesweu. Ditshedi tse nne, di takilwe ka matlho kwa pele le kwa morago, di ne di eme mo ditlhakoreng tse nne tsa setilo sa bogosi.
and before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like unto crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
7 Setshedi sa ntlha mo go tse nne tse, se ne se tshwana le tau; sa bobedi se tshwana le pholo; sa boraro se na le sefatlhogo se se tshwanang le sa motho; sa bone se tshwana le ntsu, a phutholotse diphuka jaaka e ka re o a fofa.
And the first creature [was] like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature [was] like a flying eagle.
8 Setshedi sengwe le sengwe sa ditshedi tse nne sa bo se na le diphuka di le thataro, mme bogare jwa diphuka tsa tsone jwa bo bo tletse matlho. Bosigo le motshegare di goa di re, “O Boitshepo, O Boitshepo, Morena Modimo Mothatayotlhe, ene yo o neng a le teng le yo o leng teng, e bile e le yo o tlaa tlang.”
And the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.
9 Mme ya re fa ditshedi di galaletsa di tlotla e bile di leboga yo o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi, yo o tshelang ka metlha le metlha, (aiōn g165)
And when the living creatures shall give glory and honor and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne, to him that liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 bagolwane ba ba masome a mabedi le bone ba wela fa pele ga gagwe ba mo obamela, yo o tshelang ka bosakhutleng, mme ba latlhela dirwalo tsa bone fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi ba opela ba re, (aiōn g165)
the four and twenty elders shall fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 “Oo Morena, O tshwanetse go amogela kgalalelo le tlotlo le nonofo, gonne o dirile tsotlhe. Di tlhodilwe tsa bo tsa bidiwa ditshedi ka thato ya gago.”
Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.
